A weekend in the sun as an early celebration of Dads 70th. Blue skies arrived as ordered ☀️ leaving minus one van bumper, an excess of sand and with some very tired doggies

Van loaded and hitting the road! Rolling into @caersws_bike_park to catch up with Matt & JR, and get the park re-stocked with fresh Viris goggles. This is what it’s about for us, supporting the places where riders actually ride. Bike parks, uplifts, grassroots scenes. If you’re heading to Caersws soon, keep an eye out 👀 Fresh lenses. Fresh frames. Same perspective. 🎥 @stratton.collective #Viris #VanLife #Grassroots #BikeParks #downhillmtb

A long time in the making. Something I’ve wanted to do for years. 2026 feels like the right moment. I’m launching a new YouTube channel documenting life at Viris, the behind-the-scenes reality of building a brand, running a race team, and trying to make a living in a sport and industry I genuinely love. No filters. No bullshit. Just the wins, the losses, the stress, the graft, and everything in between. I’ve no idea where 2026 will lead… but I’m ready to find out. Let’s go 👊🏻 🎥 @stratton.collective

A bit of a different Malvern’s for us this year without our third wheel @magikhans We put @dannyhart1 and @the_dolly_doggy to work instead and appreciate all the kind thoughts and support we had from @virisbrand customers who missed him as much as we did. ❤️

@joeys_mobile_pizza & @virisbrand pizza night was a great success! Always nervous putting things like this on, but thanks to everyone who turned up 🙌 Special thanks to @thevickyward for helping out. I don’t think she realised what she’d signed up for until it was too late and she was stuck serving customers and cooking pizza’s ❤️
