"Where we've ended up in life is not by luck". A good reminder that good things in life don't come just like that, you have to work your ass off and make hard decisions to reach your goals, and eventually, you can live your dream life. Thanks Sven & Anka

Dang these 11 mins flew by! My favorite mtb vid in a long time. I'm done with all these short format instabangers, tell me a good story! Great job Santa Cruz for getting this out! Sven's the man!

So inspiring. The real GOAT. Great video that captures Sven's dedication and drive perfectly. Rad riding too! Bullit is for Big Mountain!

Legends in a sport are not always in front of the camera. Mountainbiking would not be the same without Sven and the other suberb photographers following the sport.

Gotta love Sven, Anka and Ziggy! Nice work team enjoyed this one to fully capture Svens day at race and dig inside his mind also, glad to have the privilege of working with him also.

"Get out the shot!" No better last words! LOL. Childhood hero of mine as a skateboarder; adulthood hero as a human. Cheers from Somerset West Sven!

The rumor is Sven has never lost a lens cap. Is this true? If so, he is the GOAT, for sure.
@santacruzbicycles28419 ай бұрын
LOL! He's probably lost more lens caps than some people have had warm meals.

@santacruzbicycles2841 What a beautiful tribute to downhill's master photographer! Love seeing his support system in Anke and Ziggy. All their smiles make me so happy for him. Glad to join on the hill whenever I can and watch the master work with all his "Squid" buddies.

I always wonder why togphers don’t shoot video and then pause and screen shot the exact frame? Maybe they do I don’t know, but they shoot so many frames a second why not “just” take a cam corder?….. anyway, love your work bro. 🙏 and top shredding with BK I notice 👍

Fair play to Sven shooting world cups for so long, most people get burnt out, either can’t make money or just bored with it. It’s too much for too little money!
