In our WInter/Spring 2012 issue we feature the Ultramontane crew, Connor McLeod and Derek Dix. Just a couple of local rippers who want to showcase the excellent all-season mountain biking in the Coast Mountains.
Ultramontane & Company – Mitch & Kath from Ultramontane on Vimeo.
To Intro the video, Derek Says – “My father’s always told me… and still does “A man’s character can be judged by the company he keeps.” I feel that holds incredibly true, and its part of the reason we chose to create Ultramontane & Company. Katherine Short and Mitch Forbes are hands down our favourite power couple in mountain biking. We had our introduction to them through racing on the BC and Canada Cup Circuit. They carry such strong spirits and every time we shoot with them the woods fill with laughter. We presented the idea of Ultramontane & Company to them and instantly they were instantly pushing us to pack our bags and go shoot. With them dog-sitting the handsome Foster we had our trail team for the last few weeks and aimed to put together an edit with the elements that make a ride something worth telling about, from hard-tail climbs and descents, to trail dogs and foul weather night rides, their ambition to showcase what riding was to them gave us a great deal to work with.”
