Welcome to Issue 17.3

This issue of Freehub explores cycles of change from multiple angles. Anne Keller documents the quirkier side of Moab’s riding scene. Caroline McCarley writes about a tight-knit group of Moroccan guides working hard to put their corner of Northern Africa firmly on the map as a point of interest for traveling mountain bikers. Matt Coté dons his business reporter hat to tell the definitive story of what happened, from an economic standpoint, during the boom of Covid and the bust of the ensuing years. And, in our cover story, Sakeus Bankson profiles the hard-to-pin-down Braydon Bringhurst—a rare rider who revels in both up and downhill feats of stupendous technicality.
