Canyon and FMD Racing present YouTube series "How We Roll
The seven-part series shows a new, unfiltered view of the highs and lows of the 2022 season from the FMD team's perspective. How We Roll follows riders Tahnée Seagrave, Kaos Seagrave, Phoebe Gale and Dennis Luffman and the dedicated, hard-working support team through the season. The series provides a unique look behind the scenes of a professional downhill team and shows what it means to be part of the Downhill World Cup and the biggest freeride events in the world.
"I think it's pretty obvious that the 2022 season hasn't exactly gone perfectly for me, but it's been amazing to be part of this project with Phoebe, Kaos, Dennis and the FMD crew. It wasn't easy for me to talk so openly about my injury and subsequent rehab, but I hope to raise awareness about the dangers of concussions and maybe help others who are going through the same thing as me." - Tahnée Seagrave, FMD Racing
Conceived by Elliot Harper and lovingly produced by Two Palms Media, the series uses hundreds of hours of video footage from last season to create a spectacular and gripping look back at the 2022 season
."The idea of 'How We Roll' was born out of our passion for the sport and the ambition to create something unprecedented in the mountain bike scene. We tell the stories of the people who make up a race team and follow them on their individual journey through the season. We want viewers to identify with the stories and characters, not just abstract results on a scoreboard. FMD Racing has some of the most exciting characters on the scene, so it was a no-brainer for us. When creating the concept, I quickly realized that there could only be one director for this: Will Hodgett and his Two Palms crew. The fact that they didn't come straight from mountain biking gave them the creative freedom to capture this incredible sport from a unique and completely fresh perspective." - Elliot Harper, Production Manager
"At the end of the day, everyone in the mountain bike scene knows how good these guys and girls are on the bike. That's why we wanted to take a different angle and focus on the personalities in the team
and tell the real stories that happen in the background. Being able to operate as a silent fly on the wall within the team was an absolute dream for us as filmmakers. With the trust we earned, we were able to get an unfiltered look behind the scenes of this unique sport." - Will Hodgett, Director, Two Palms Media
The entire series was made possible by the collective support and work of Canyon, Two Palms Media, Harpoon Sports Concepts, Shimano, Fox Racing, Red Bull and, of course, the riders and crew of FMD Racing.
"Canyon has great respect for all that the FMD Racing team has done for the sport over the last decade and for the hard work that has gone into this fantastic series. We're super excited to give the MTB community the opportunity to relive the 2022 season through the eyes of the team with How We Roll - Season 1." - Jack Noy, Brand Manager 'Gravity MTB' at Canyon Bicycles.
