Driven Ep 05: Time

Time .... our enemy or our ally in life? Do you use it to the fullest to fulfill your dreams? Or do you wait for time to pass and hope for something good to happen to you?

Watch the video on how athletes riding on Trek see and understand this abstract concept, and see if you have the same ideas in life.

Aaron Gwin and Trek Session

8 months of riding downhill was all it took for Aaron Holmes Gwin to participate in the World Cup. This sensation dubbed "the saviour of US downhill scene" comes from a motocross racing background, which he abandoned due to constant injuries, and he also rode BMX's for many years.

After a series of wins that took the downhill world by surprise, beating athletes like Gee Atherton, Sam Hill and Steve Peat, he unveilled one of the secrets of his success: the all-new 2012 Trek Session 9.9 carbon  

Driven ep04: Yellow

In 1919, the people who organised the Tour de France decided that the overall winner will wear the "maillot jaune", the yellow jersey. Since then, every cycling team out there has been striving to get a teammate to wear yellow, no matter the costs. Months of development, testing, training, planning will show who is the best of the best, and everybody, from cyclists to company CEO's, are ready to give 100% of their potential to show the world they deserve that win.

A movie about family, hard work and determination.

Driven ep02: Fabian Cancellara

His nickname is "Spartacus", he's 30 and he was born in Wohlen, Switzerland. In his career he won the World Time Trial Championship, the Olympics, Tour of Flanders, Paris–Roubaix (twice) and many stages form the Tour de France. Get the picture? Fabian Cancellara is one of the most important people in cycling right now and he's going to share some of his thoughts about his experience with racing so far.

Driven ep01: Trek

So you think that if i posted alot about downhill and XC and mostly things involving mountain bikes, i forgot about road cycling? Of course not. All you roadies out there are probably familiar with Team Leopard Trek. For the rest who aren't, this is a pro cycling team licensed in Luxembourg, wich became active in the begining of 2011. Out of the stars we can name Andy Schelck, Frank Schleck and Fabian Cancellara.

They are developing a show called "Driven" in which they give an insight to the races, the preparations and the athletes. In this first episode we meet the team representing the bike sponsor and see how they help the athletes perform, by providing world-class equipment and expertise.

Maui vacation fun

After i've shown you Mauritius, it's time to step into another dream island, Maui. Armed with 2011 Trek bikes, the crew from Anthill films and top athletes Shandro, McCaul, Semenuk and Wildhaber revisit the site of the 2004 shoot for "The Collective".

Some digging, some diving and some riding. Fun
