One of the best parts of putting our stories in Dirt Relations out to the world has been to witness the impact, how the film has inspired dialogue and insights. That’s why we made the film, in the hope of inspiring and fostering meaningful conversations and action to foster reconciliation in outdoor recreation and adventure sports. We’ve been especially touched by some of the media coverage. This reel has just some of our favourite quotes. Dirt Relations is now available on YouTube at @freehubmag Pipeline. Link in bio.

How do aspiring allies build good relations? Sometimes we put ourselves in uncomfortable situations, like camping under a lean-to in a mosquito infested forest.

Excited and honoured to learn that Dirt Relations was nominated for video of the month for October. We didn’t win but still grateful for the mention. After nearly two years our story is still out in the world and bringing people together. Thanks @pinkbike #dirtrelationsfilm #dirtrelationsdocumentary #iymbp

For the last several years, @firstjourneytrails and the IYMBP have been invited by @van.clifton and the Economic Development Department of the Heiltsuk First Nation to train their trail crew. The Nation had built several kilometres of world class trails and their seeing the benefits of their people getting outdoors and reconnecting the land. This year, we partnered with @indigenoustourismbc to host advanced tourism and trail workshops. ITBC was so inspired by the project they hired @duqvla.media to create a short and beautiful film.

Every once in a while, a young rider reminds us what the sport is all about — heart, dedication, and pure stoke. This talented and hardworking rider from the Tla’amin Nation has been giving it his all on the trails and inspiring those around him. He’s kind, caring, and a true role model for younger riders. 🙌 His dream? To own his first full-suspension Santa Cruz bike… but as we all know, the cost of bikes these days makes that a tough goal to reach. His father is doing a raffle for some amazing local venison to help fund the bike purchase. (see first image for details) If anyone in our network has a small-sized used Santa Cruz for sale, or if we can catch the attention of our friends at @santacruzbicycles we’d love to help make this dream a reality. #MahonyBikeCo #CommunitySupport #SantaCruzBikes #FutureOfTheSport #morekidsonbikes #youthsports #morebikeslessscreens @tlaamincommunityrecreation @santacruzbicycles @iymbp @qathetcyclingassociation @tawsbikegarage @suncoastcyclespr @ridefree.apparel @ridemountmahony @mahony_mobsters
