Freeride lines, hand-built trails, steep skidders, and classic favorites in Wyoming.

For episode 3 of Subsistence, we head to Wyoming. With a checklist of zones, we waded waist deep river crossings, rode freeride zones ending in an experience only relatable to tree skiing, built and rode some new trail, explored what the local ranges had to offer, and of course took a lap down a classic on the pass. As with the first 2 episodes, the film was aired on Outside TV, where it's collecting views from mountain bike fans today!

“Charlie killed it with his work on Subsistence, long days, and tough weather aside he was the only photographer we know that could’ve handled it. The specific brand work was also right on par with our partners requests and actually helped us increase funding project after project. We look forward to working with Charlie on Subsistence and many other projects to come”

Charles’ images from the Subsistence Projects have been a great investment in terms of promoting the film, but they have also gone on to help build the brands of the supporting sponsors.
