For the Sept/Oct issue of Bike Mag back in 2015 a story ran titled “The Outer Limits”. Written by Graham Averill, photography by Derek Diluzio and stunts by Evan Voss. The crew wanted to ride the awesome downhills of Kitsuma, Heartbreak and Big Ivy in a multi day bike packing trip. The printed article was only part of the story, we’ve got the rest. If you’ve ever stopped at the top of upper heartbreak, had a snack and thought it was smooth sailing from there on out, go ahead and click that subscribe button!
