This time, the plotline revolved around a quintessential southern British Columbia dirt circuit, an old skoolie dubbed the “Cool Bus” and five talented young shredders eager to put their own twist on some of B.C.’s most storied terrain.
With the legendary “Drop In” freeride TV series serving as inspiration and Shimano’s new gravity shoes on their feet, Jacob Murray, Natasha Miller, Lucy Van Eesteren, Mateo Quist and Ryder Bulfone climbed aboard the Cool Bus last fall with two bikes each and embarked from Squamish on a four-day, 1,000-kilometer loop. The bus first rumbled along the long, slow Duffy Road up to Pemberton, Kamloops and Sun Peaks Resort, then headed back south on the Coquihalla Highway and onto Highway 1 through Chilliwack and the freeride mecca of North Vancouver.
