Welcome to Issue 14.3

We’re living at a time when the pace of change is unprecedented in human history, and this is certainly the case within the rapidly expanding world of mountain biking. Our new Issue 14.3—themed around the concept of “progression”—reflects key changes to our sport as well as inherent obstacles to its continued evolution. Our cover feature chronicles the meteoric rise of the women’s freeride movement through the all-female Formation event, while also highlighting fundamental challenges to its future development. We take an in-depth look at the pressing problem of affordable housing shortages in mountain bike towns across the United States, outlining the creative ways that communities are addressing a dilemma that affects so many of us. And with stories covering the extraordinary ascent of New Zealand freerider Robin Goomes, the far-reaching impact of master trailbuilder Valerie Naylor, and the paradigm-rattling vision of photographer JB Liautard, there is abundant inspiration for breakthroughs big and small. Issue 14.3 is your antidote to angsty mediocrity.
