Maiden Voyage — Thomas Vanderham Blasting His New DH Bike

When we set out to film a launch video for the Maiden, our new carbon downhill bike, Thomas Vanderham immediately knew he wanted to do something a bit different. No tech-talk, no drama, just letting the bike speak for itself. Through the spring of 2015 he and a small crew of dedicated builders dug a custom track that reflected his vision. And, working with a dream team of Matt Miles, Anthill Films, and Sterling Lorence, we captured the raw aggression and confident stamp that he puts on everything he rides. Thomas worked closely with the engineering team during the Maiden’s nearly four years of development, and seeing all that work come to fruition is incredibly rewarding.
