Finding Peace on the Trail

Mountain biking for me has shifted from chasing thrills to finding peace. Discover how slowing down on two wheels brings calm and clarity.

Finding Peace on the Trail

I’m so excited to finally share this project with you. I actually filmed it last year, but I have a bad habit of holding back on posting things that don’t feel “perfect.” This one sat unfinished because I thought it needed a better ending. So I added a little bumper at the end to talk about why I made it and the vision behind it.

When I first got into mountain biking, I had some big aspirations. But reality hit me pretty quickly and pretty hard: I’m an older average rider with responsibilities, and I definitely cannot afford a broken collarbone. Racing was never really in the cards for me, though I always wanted to race and love watching.

Around that same time, the idea for this website started to take shape, and eventually I put myself out there as a Filthy Casual mountain biker set on sharing my knowledge with those just starting out. And of course as someone who knows he’s not going to be a pro rider, but just a dude that is out here purely for the love of two wheels.

I hope you enjoy this short video project I made with that spirit in mind.

Forever two wheels!
