Our latest Summer 24’ lookbook is now live! We spent a week under the sun in Idaho and did it all. Putting our latest summer collection of technical apparel to the test from trails in the morning, water in the afternoon, to fireside beers well into the night.  Heading back west, we linked up with a few of our favorite families for some quality time in the saddle and down by the river near our home turf of Bend, Oregon. The groms were raging, cameras were firing, and the vibes were all time.  We couldn’t have done it without an incredible production crew:  Sun Valley Photographer: Lane Pearson Sun Valley Videographer: John Webster Grom Photographer: Kevin Prieto Grom Videographer: Dan Norkunas https://lnkd.in/gPKzyeU2

Innovation. Dedication. COMMUNITY. Stewardship The four pillars that define us, and guide us. We were fortunate to work with USASA this season in supporting the USASA National Championship Grant that helps families offset the massive expense that comes with competitive riding. By donating 600 custom Dual Layer Neck Tubes to USASA, we will help the org raise up to $15,000 to support the USASA National Championship Grant that helps families offset the massive expense that comes with competitive riding. While competition isn't for everyone, it's a catalyst for progression and opportunity that we're stoked to support. Available at USASA’s online shop. https://lnkd.in/gKfesV-v

Choose your balaclava carefully! As Colin Wiseman learns in this great article on The Snowboarders Journal, it may be the difference between white-room glory and frostbitten misery. https://lnkd.in/gQTvfjm2
