Think about the last time you really surprised yourself on a ride. Was the smile that lit up your face from relief, or was it a realization: Woah, I can do that now? This issue of Freehub is dedicated to those moments of progression, in the myriad ways they surface for both mountain bikers at the highest level of the sport, as well as those just beginning their fat-tire journeys. Brice Minnigh profiles Brandon Semenuk, a rider who has completely redefined entire disciplines with his creativity and obsessive work ethic. Reporting from Bhutan, Tim Wild shares the story of a group of women learning the skills necessary to begin guiding visiting mountain bikers from around the globe. Nicole Formosa examines the shifting culture of how professional athletes speak about injury and setback. Her piece sheds light on an insight anyone who has ever thrown a leg over a mountain bike knows: Real progression doesn’t come easy.
