ADMIN REVEAL // I’ve been fortunate to meet a lot of incredible people and do a lot of memorable things because of this instagram account, but after some great conversations it was pointed out that for the people who I haven’t met yet, this account doesn’t always read as an individual.
To those people, hi! Thanks for being here.
I’m Nicholas Kupiak and I’m a photographer / videographer from Squamish, B.C. As projects start to pick up for 2025 I plan to showcase a bit more behind the scenes of what I’m working on, where I’m headed, what I’m riding, and the things I’m stoked about.
Not sure I’ll ever get the hang of filming vertically, but let’s never say never.
See you out there!

While iterations of this fork have been floating around for what feels like ages, it’s great to finally see the FOX 38 get launched.
Another solid day in the woods with @william_blouin_comeau and @elliotjamieson_ but honestly, I can’t believe it’s taken this long to finally snag some work with Max. Long overdue.

How do we continuously find ways to go quicker?
The small exercise of writing this script led me to bigger questions. Contemplations on the relationship we have with the things, the tools, the machines that we use to express ourselves through movement.

Huge thanks to everyone that said “Hi!” out on the trails this weekend during the @squamish_enduro it’s been a few years since I last had the chance to capture a live event and I’m so stoked the @lazy.sundays.studio boys hit me up to help out where I could.

Nice to finally see the entire ERA SL line hit the market, which means I can finally post a bike check for my summer ‘26 rig.
They’re still kind of like bikes? Something a little different for the feed as I had the chance to hang with @rideordive45 and @wildland.media during their @fortnine shoot on Vancouver Island.
Huge thanks to @east2westfreediving and @tideoverbc for showing us around and giving us a peek into their world on the water.
Couple of great days out in the woods for the @raceface Era SL video. One of those shoots where you wind up with almost too much footage, but here’s some of my favourites.
@ryder_knoll brought the energy no matter which kit he was in, and the extra sets of hands from @ryanf0wler and @wardor went a long way. Might need someone to do a tick check next time, but we’re still kickin’
@jumpintoframe came through on the stills side and helped with some local trail knowledge too.
Onto the next.
Q1 Proof of Life - Stills
From test product hand offs, to production models being ridden, to conversations with new friends that feel like old friends, to new kit days, to California trips, and all the way back to floating product in the wild to photograph.
This is an absolute mess of random snaps. Enjoy
Put this thing together just in time to pack it away for another trip to California with @eastoncycling and @ridefoxbike
Specs:
Specialized Crux
Easton EC90 Build Kit
Schwalbe G-One R 700x50
Shimano GRX 1x12
Reform Saddle
The original frame was ultimately unbranded so naturally I had to add a couple personal hits. I’m sure that collection will grow throughout the year.
Had the chance to help out @agr_racing_ with some team launch assets during some seriously torrential weather. Thanks to @_andrew_pickard_ for keeping the vibes high and being a walking coat rack.
