On one unusually sunny and warm winter day in the Pacific Northwest, we set out with only the best of intentions to film a marketing video that would hopefully be used for the launch of our new 150mm carbon Uprising trail bike. You know the kind of video, scenic vistas, perfect weather and a bag of reasons why should buy this bike.
Well… like a hyperactive 13 yr old who missed a dose of ridilin, we too lost focus and completely failed in our mission. So what we are left with is an edit of us chasing around Evil Worldcup rider Luke Strobel and wasting our only sunny weekend of winter… hope it was worth it.
When UNIT asked Andreu if he wanted to come and visit the Australian Gold Coast and head to New Zealand to ride mountain bikes, fmx and bmx at the UNIT Farm Jam, he jumped right on it and started to plan the trip. It was a unique occasion to visit southern New Zealand and shred his YT bikes, DirtLove and Tue in the picturesque mountains surrounding the town of Queenstown.
