Win a GO3 Camera by Insta360 this issue in our FREE subscriber prize draw.
“This film is the start of my journey—from learning about mountain bikes and suspension to attempting building my own. As I share this process on Instagram and YouTube, more people are getting invested, and I think it’s only fair to explain why I’m doing this.
The goal: Build a durable bike that lasts forever—one that isn’t locked into overly specialized, single-purpose designs. This bike is about giving freedom to the rider, not the brand.
‘Pivot’ is the winner of the 2025 ActionTV Youth Film Festival! Huge thanks to everyone supporting this project!”
