Follow along with the constant dreamer, Mike Hopkins, and his euphoric expedition aboard Diamondback's brand new Level Link trail bike, the Release. Welcome to our paradise, where the trails unfold like magic before you and the views are simply out of this world. Welcome to our Dream Ride.
"It's been pretty mind-blowing to see this project come to life. Diamondback quite literally gave us the opportunity to make a dream a reality. Locations, travel, concept- they allowed us to take an idea and show the real character of a bike. Much like this project, Diamondback had an amazing crew working behind the scenes to offer the best bike they've ever made. What can I say? It's been the ride of a life!" - Mike Hopkins
"This concept has been cooking in my brain for quite some time, so when I had the opportunity to create something new for Diamondback I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Working with Mike, the guys from Juicy, Bruno and Secco was a pretty awesome experience. I've never seen a team work so hard to make something so perfect. I'm thrilled I got to be a part of this and see it through, and I really hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do." -Lacy Kemp

I personally would have selected a different picture for the past contest (Photo of the Year) than the one you guys used, like picture #10 where Mike is riding the wall and the huge shadow seems to be following him.
Amazing photos & amazing video.
Props to Diamondback for making this masterpiece and not ruin it with aggressive advertising.
Well done Diamondback! Nice job getting the Kootenay all stars together with Secco. Seems like Lacy is onto something here. My low moment with the bike industry from earlier this week just has been undone, thank you!
Boom! ????????
Maybe the Diamond Back crew should forget bikes and focus on edits?!
