“The making of Badlands 2 was everything you dream about for a bike trip and video production. No obligations, just good friends heading into the wilderness to do what we love. Dig, hike, RIDE, film and push ourselves physically, mentally and creatively. In some ways it’s an individual experience. Finding lines, facing fears, reaching goals. Simultaneously it creates a beautiful collective experience and result. Now you get to enjoy the fruits of that labor. And if we did it well… It means you’ll want to do the same thing for yourself after watching it. Go forth and shred.“ recommends Transition rider and professional fun haver, Dusty Wygle.
