The people of Alaska in many ways still embody the true frontier spirit. Out here, self-sufficiency is not a way of life, it's just the way things are done. The land is harsh and unforgiving, but also uniquely beautiful and enriching. Just surviving can sometimes be a challenge - so imagine what it takes to tackle big terrain on a mountain bike out here. That is exactly what the Alaska Downhill Brigade is doing - one chute at a time. And not content with just riding, the crew is documenting their exploits for us all to enjoy. A self-funded movie project in the rugged wilderness of the last frontier - truly a worthy recipient of Vital's Bravest award for July! Check out the teaser below, and get ready for the full episodes to start dropping (more information at www.alaskadownhillbrigade.com).
To reward the Alaska Downhill Brigade for these feats of bravery, Five Ten is sending out 2 pairs of its latest masterpiece, the Five Ten Freerider VXi Shoes. By the looks of things, they won't collect dust in some cupboard - the hardest part might be for the guys to decide who gets the shoes!
