The FUTURE of freeride is now. We are excited to welcome Jaxson Riddle to the Jenson USA Family! We are always working on ways to invigorate and grow the riding community and to connect riders with the people, the trails, and the experiences that will inspire their rides. This is why we're proud to announce Jaxson Riddle as our latest rider in the Jenson USA roster! This young ripper has been pushing the limits of what is possible at top-level events like Red Bull Rampage and Proving Grounds, and is inspiring the next generation of riders to chase their dreams and experience bikes at an all-new level. We couldn't be more excited to throw our support behind Jaxson and to see just what magic he can create.

Prineville, Oregon (August 31st, 2021) - Proving Grounds is just over a week away from taking the stage at the Oregon Dirt Park and making freeride history.

Ever wondered what the future of mountain biking looks like? Well, Remy Metailler gives us a glimpse of one of the up and coming groms who is destined to progress the sport. This 10-year old little shredder tows Remy into some of the bigger, gnarlier lines at Sun Peaks Bike Park and sends it with style. We are so stoked to watch as Wren progresses through the years. Jump into the article to watch the videos.
P.S. Wren's not just a good bike rider, he's also pretty dialed on skis too.

One of our favorite riding partners and collaborators of Remy Metailler's is Steve Vanderhoek. Not only can he rip right along with Remy, but he is also one of the genuinely coolest and nicest dudes. It put a serious lump in our throats when we heard that he had a big crash on his latest ride with Remy. Luckily, Steve had only minor injuries and should recover soon and be back to the trails he loves. Click into the blog to watch the full video, then head over to Steve's Instagram to send him good healing vibes.

The options for keeping yourself hydrated on the trail are plenty but that can make finding the right hydration setup a bit overwhelming. We let Sonya Looney take her pick of hydration packs to put to the test to see which features and benefits made her top pick for best hydration packs for short to medium mountain bike rides. Read more to see which hydration packs she chose and how they stacked up against each other.

There aren't many athletes who can claim to be pro in two different sports. Well, Brittany Phelan is both a pro mountain biker and a pro skier with some Olympic hardware to prove it! Remy Metailler got the chance to join up with Brittany for a fast rip on their mountain bikes down the famous Whistler trail, Dark Crystal. Come along for the ride as Remy follows Brittany down some properly rowdy terrain and shows the benefits of cross-training between bikes and skis.
