Olympian and athlete Sam Schultz crossed paths with photographer Margus Riga a few years ago and connected through their love of multi-day mountain biking adventures. In 2022, they teamed up for a Rocky Mountain photo shoot and spent three days in the rugged and remote Chilcotin Ranges, as seen here. During that trip, Sam quickly discovered the definition of getting "Riga'd" - to undersell the difficulty of an adventure with the trust that your friends will probably survive anyway. A year later, Sam and Margus have a new assignment, this time in Toby Creek, Invermere. In search of yellow ..read more

For others (far too many people, I might add), having to flee their home, their communit ..read more

In 2022, a concussion sidelined him on the day of his intended debut at Red Bull Rampage. This year, he's back on the start list more fired up than ever to get back to the desert. But Alex’s return to Utah isn’t just about redemption. In Rocky Mountain’s new series “Love the Ride,” we step inside the life of Alex, a rider who lives and trains off-grid in a remote town in British Columbia.
