Without an agenda, time becomes irrelevant. When it comes to bikepacking, this is the perfect mindset to have. Void of all expectations and obligations, Jackie Paaso and Stan Jorgensen set off on a three-day, 90-mile mission on the Arizona Trail, embracing the moment and abiding only by the rhythm of mother nature.

This project was filmed over the span of 5 days in Arizona. The director, Brandon Watts, and I biked along side the athletes with out full film kit. Our bikes were loaded and heavy, but having that much time with the athletes was helpful for grabbing heaps of content in the short span of time that we had. Thankfully the trail was mostly downhill!
