Natural Selection Proving Grounds searches the globe for a location with terrain that can launch the sport of mountain bike freeriding to the next level. With the help of free-rider Carson Storch, they hone in on the South Island of New Zealand. Even after narrowing down 22 possible locations to three venues with limitless potential, choosing one is impossible. 

So, Proving Grounds and Storch call in five of the world’s best free-riders to decide which of the three locations’ terrain will best propel the future of freeriding, allow riders’ creativity to shine on the natural landscape and ultimately inspire more up-and-coming riders. Reed Boggs, Casey Brown, Robin Goomes, Brett Rheeder, and Carson Storch consider every aspect, from wind to terrain, sustainability of the build, and community access.

With three seemingly perfect locations, the riders weigh the more dynamic, natural terrain features in a venue above Queenstown against the long-term community benefits of a platform that the public could ride in the Wanaka area. Find out where Proving Grounds lands in “Search for the Next Proving Grounds” out now.

With many of the world’s best riders gathered in Revelstoke for the 2023 Natural Selection Tour and dream conditions, there were two otherworldly venues to choose from, but only one live event day. Still buzzing from the mind-blowing, and at moments, terrifying day of live competition at Boulder Park, the riders decide to leave no fresh landing untouched. Two days after Revy, Selkirk-Tangiers guided the riders back into the mountains to drop into a magnificent bowl known as Huckleberry. The cameras were rolling this time, and the riders fully sent it, but the world had no idea it was going down. Captured in super secret with never before seen footage, YETI Natural Selection “Revelstoke Super Session” captures the most prominent riders in the game, all together with optimal terrain for progression, on one auspicious bluebird day.

Please consider donating to Love is King @lik_free2roam - Blackwaters team of participants engaged through the Love is King program named Operation Roam (Rapid Ongoing Advance Missions). The mission is to provide an opportunity for BIPOC individuals (21 and over) to build outdoor leadership and advocate for public land and freshwater conservation. Historically, BIPOC voices were not invited into government, congressional, or decision-making spaces regarding wildlife and indigenous policies, recreation, permitting, land management, and advocacy in the outdoors.  
Support us Love is King; continue to do this important work.                         

Blackwaters encompasses the power of five Black men whose paths have been challenged with loss, defeat, fear, and pain by life’s ups and downs and the social injustice that Black men and Black boys face daily. They have fallen into an “endangered species,” only surviving daily. Through surviving life’s trials, each man has found grace and success in the outdoors, healed and mended by nature’s medicine to the soul, embracing the art of fly fishing and building brotherhood. Blackwater is an expedition, a journey in the Gates Of The Arctic Circle National Park, adventure, a vision quest, and a fly fishing adventure that surpasses the color of their skin, connecting to the fundamentals of nature, the poetry of life, and prosperous joy. Like indigenous communities, they find self-fulfillment in being outdoors. They find their representation and hold space for everyone, especially inspiring young Black boys. It is a dual survival between black boys who can not make the connection to a black man in the outdoors due to lack of representation and black men finding representation in wild spaces to call their own. Hopefully, these youths can see themselves and be inspired to embark on their journeys into the outdoors. The concept is a tactically crafted story in dialogue and adventure, emphasizing dismantling the fear of BIPOC and inspiring BIPOC to pursue their journey outdoors and uplift black boys’ lives in green spaces.
