Episode 2 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: The Making of Arrival

1 min readUpdated May 1, 2017

Yes…the guys actually met someone off of Instagram that showed them some killer spots in Rio to ride…and it worked. This is a great sequence of riding in an area that isn’t the easiest to travel in. No worries though…Stevie Smith rips it.

Traveling down to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil was one of the most chaotic, but memorable experiences of our lives. We didn’t know what to expect from a place that isn’t well known for mountain biking; the only thing we were told was that it was considered a risky place to travel. We knew that if we were going to travel this far, we’d have to make it count. The decision to bring a high performance athlete like Stevie to Brazil was a no-brainer for all of us, and it shows in his segment.

I founded Bike198 back in 2008 and started riding bikes seriously in 1994. A lot has changed since that time and one of the greatest releases is still getting out on the bike and shredding trail or tearing up the road.
