Shaped by the Land

In Ille-sur-Têt, the land sets the rhythm and the landscape guides every decision. Mountain biking becomes a way to reconnect with the territory, respecting its limits and identity. A movement that brings life back to the village, creating connections between people, paths, and local knowledge.

LIFE ABOVE 1000

The VALE INC. Crew spent a summer living at the legendary Gobblers ski lodge on Coronet Peak, Queenstown New Zealand. This film documents a period spent away from society, mostly above 1000m, with friends, bikes, shovels, and endless inspiration from the surrounding landscape. Thank you to everybody who came through Gobblers lodge and made it an experience we will never forget. Also big thank you to the Gobblers Family members for having us!

On the Up

A meditation on sacrifice, ambition and unity, On the Up follows pro cyclists Sarah Sturm, Alexis Skarda and Ellen Campbell as they prepare for the 2024 Leadville Trail 100 MTB race in Colorado, one of the most formidable off-road events in the world. Leadville – known as the Race Across the Sky – was established in 1983 and is ridden at extreme altitude. 2024 is the first year Leadville has had a separate women’s start, a historical moment captured by the film.

Light It Up

As kids, we all spent a good chunk of our off-season, evenings, and throughout injuries getting fired up to ride with bike movies. We'd collect DVDs and watch them on repeat until it was light enough to ride or the snow had finished melting. With the release of the Bottlerocket we wanted to create something to showcase how rad our athletes are and what they get up to on their Bottlerockets. This video showcases old and new spots in 6 segments ranging from Peruvian freeride lines to BC loamers as well as a modern day look at "freeride" with some massive FEST jumps in Slovenia. 'Light it Up' tries to strike a balance between the style of films we watched our heroes throwing down in and modern-day freeride. Take a peek a this new video of our crew doing what they do best!

Fire Lines | Patagonia Films

In northern California, climate change and 150 years of forest mismanagement have led to some of the most catastrophic wildfires in the state’s history—including the Dixie Fire, which in 2021 devastated the Lost Sierra’s already struggling communities. In the face of that destruction, one group turned to trails for hope and to the past for a better future.

Springfell: A Return to the Fells

There’s a quiet magic shared by those who venture outdoors in northern places when spring begins to break. The winter of short rides and dark days fades, replaced by the promise of longer light and bigger adventures.⁠
Springfell is a story of return — to trails long buried, to ridge lines forgotten beneath winter’s weight.
