The final installment of STUND Season 2. It's been a great ride and I hope you all enjoyed watching the show. I know us boys had a blast making it. Getting out there, funding our own project, picking our favorite spots and having a rider owned production is what it's all about. It is allot to take on for Mike and myself in a summer as we still film with the biggest movies, compete in the big mountain comps and run a full time Pro rider contract. STUND comes from our own hard work and sweat with a target to hit as many viewers as we can from all over the world.
We do this by offering it for free! From the riders for the riders.
Episode 5 is what it's all about and the reward from the project. The other 4 episodes are the buildup and following to the making of this episode. "Best of the Summer" The format changes from a day to day following of the tour and riders to the classic mountain bike sections you are used to when buying a DVD.
Sit back, relax, turn up the volume and enjoy this 25 Minute episode of STUND.
Thanks to Garret and James for representing B.C. in a big way on the tour, as the new young stars of big mountain riding. Way to kill it! Better than high school hey Garret?
Lastly. Thanks to Tam and Mike, my partners in crime for free content.
Help bring back another season of STUND, speak up and post. Was it everything you expected coming back with Season 2? Would you all watch a season 3? This is your chance to give us feedback and new ideas for next year. But take it easy on us, remember we just ride!

On a serious note, I would vote for New Zealand if funds permit.
Loved it!
Thank you for making Sundays the most awesome day of the week!
I would personally like to see some NEW spots that get the mouth watering (random town, BC, France, Switzerland, Alaska, etc). Great series, really stoked my GF and I out every weekend!!
What aboot the hip on Pulmonary?! Same deal?
I think you get where I'm going here...
I was thinking for Season 3, perhaps you could partner up with Pinkbike and have a something similar to the old Race Face ( Ultimate Freeride Challenge contest ) where riders submit a 60 second video clip to you guys for judging and then the winners clip gets played during one of your episodes, or perhaps that person gets to come ride with you guys ( funding permitted ). This would also allow your sponsers to get thier names out there and perhaps allow prizes for some of the clips or even have categories like Best Line, Best Air, Most Creative Stunt, Breakout Performance by a Grom (13 and under),Worst Crash...etc. Plus this gets the pinkbike users involved and talking about the show.
From what I rode you guys were planning to get a download link for the season.
Is that still on the TO-DO list?
Because I have problems with buffering Pinkbike video's
And I really like to watch the season on my iPod
nice work overall---grassroots radness!
For Season 3 it would be a great idea for you guys to come to Europe. We have lot´s of great spots here.
Keep that in mind.
Steve, your style rocks!
Have you herd of Les Carroz? If not check it out if you like. It is green, steep, tight and gnarly downhill single track. They are in their Third year of shredding and building. Find it here www. lescarroz.com.
Keep up the amazing work!
For season 3: You guys should really ride the east coast (highland, diablo, and Bromont, Mont Saint-Anne) Especially Bromont they have sick trails and i'd imagine it would be allot cheaper then going to Europe. Then you could focus on the quality of the video since you have more money! And the video contest idea sounds like a great idea! I think east coast would be something to look at.
Anyway cant wait for season 3 and KEEP UP the good work!
