Ep.34 – The Ultimate Extreme Family Getaway - Valais, Switzerland

Every year during the summer we are faced with the same problem: Where can we go on vacation as a family so that everyone gets their money's worth? Lois wants bike park and jumps, Leni wants enduro trails, Karen wants a high alpine experience, and Holger? Holger just wants to go surfing. Our friends advised us that there was no place better than Valais, Switzerland. So off we went! And we were not disappointed.

Ep.33 – Verbier – The Catalogue Shoot

Every year, the marketing team here at SCOTT is tasked with shooting a small (read: large) selection of our new products for the following year. Usually, we call this the catalogue shoot, and we do one for Road and one for MTB. When you look at a print ad, what you don’t see is what goes into it. Sometimes, they’re one-shot bangers, but often, there is a fair bit of blood, sweat and tears (of joy) that go into getting into a magazine or on an ad, and we thought it would be great to get you a look into that process.

EP.31 - Andrew Neethling Masterclass
A while back, we worked with Brendan Fairclough to create an edit based on the idea of riding several bikes close to home given travel restrictions. Well, Brendan and Andrew Neethling are long-time friends. And as competitive MTB racers, Andrew saw the edit and was like, “that was ok, I can probably do better.” So, we told Andrew to put his money where his mouth was. The result? The Andrew Neethling Masterclass, seven bikes within a seven-mile radius from home. Which masterclass did you like best? Brendog? Or Needles?

Ep.30 - Brendan Fairclough Masterclass

Chasing Trail has always been about sending our athletes to dream-worthy, exotic locations to shoot content that would make us want to dream. In these current times, however, that isn't possible. So we said, "wait a second!" All around the world, riders have been falling back in love with their locals, appreciating the ability to pedal from home and go for a rip. One of those very people is World Cup Downhill star Brendan Fairclough.

Ep.29 - Leogang
Racing is all about being smart with your time and energy. There is no chance to site see or take in the surrounding trails when at a race. You barely have a chance to look around at the most magnificent mountain peaks which surround Leogang because you are so focused with the job at hand. The mountain ranges are truly breathtaking. I was excited to see what they had to offer away from the race scene and race track.

Ep.28 - The Brendan Fairclough Local
For years, Andrew Neethling would spend time in between World Cup Rounds at Brendan Fairclough's house in the south of England. Sick trails, perfect turns, ideal ruts, and usually not too wet, the Surrey Hills are home to some of the world's best riders, and a location well worth checking out in the future.

Ep. 22 - La Palma

When thinking of Europe most of us think of big old cities, lederhosen and the Queen. But what barely comes to our minds are jungles, ancient forests, palm trees and volcanoes. On a continent that is so crowded that finding a free spot to put your towel by a lake is difficult, this is no surprise. Yet when you look, you can find just about anything – even volcanos.

Ep.17 - 48 Hours in the Chilcotins

The Margus Riga approach to photography is pretty simple, get really good at taking photos and then ride faster than your pro rider friends. Estonian born, raised in Toronto, but shaped by Coastal BC (where he moved at the age of 18) his photographs are prolific, with a style that is unmistakable; you can recognize a Riga photo from a mile away. You can almost hear the sound of tires in his photographs sliding out on root snakes.

Ep.16 - The Local
At SCOTT, we're pretty fortunate to be based in a country with loads to offer in the form of singletrack. The Alps offer anything anyone could desire for a day on the bike. They offer a perfect testbed for new products, an ideal environment for company team building, and ultimately, they provide us with a playground for the weekends.

Ep.15 - Bralorne, BC
Mountain Biking is generally best in mountain towns with a large enough (or core enough) population to build and maintain trail networks. These are the ingredients, which have built meccas such as Whistler, Sun Valley, Kingdom Trails, the Surry Hills etc. Bralorne, with its 70 full time residents couldn’t be further from the norm. Located north of Whistler, Bralorne seems to be in the middle of nowhere, yet surrounded by world class mountain bike riding.

Ep.14 - Atacama
Atacama. The word rolls off the tongue as easily as nature’s palette moves across the surface of the Mars-like vistas. Home to the driest non-polar desert in the world, Atacama is at once a geological phenomenon and a place of deep history of copper and salt mining. For Lorraine Blancher, it’s been a place of wonder ever since she picked up a copy of National Geographic when she was younger.

"When the time finally came that all three of us had a spare few days in the busy start of the season schedule we jumped at it. Brendan had just wrapped up the last of his #DEATHGRIPMOVIE shoots across the globe and Andrew was starting on a new endeavour and life adventure with SCOTT. I had been nagging them for years to come visit us me in Nelson, New Zealand and finally it all fell into place."

Ep.11 - Shooting fjords and mtb in Norway

When Mattias (Fredriksson) called at the beginning of 2016, I could feel his excitement through the phone. He had an idea for our next catalogue shoot, and he had arguments to sell it: the fjords, the mysterious ever-lasting Scandinavian light and trails still relatively unknown to mountain bikers… It was enough to make us want to sign the deal.
