Watch: Kurt Sorge’s ultimate BC shred session
TGR follows the high-flying Canadian way up above Nelson
Kurt Sorge has been pushing big mountain freeride for years in the mountains surrounding his Nelson, B.C. hometown.
With snowsport legends Teton Gravity Research behind the camera, Sorge elevates alpine riding once more. The three-time Red Bull Rampage winner’s lines are stunning. In the preview for his Accomplice segments, Sorge’s riding looks more like big mountain skiing than anything usually seen on mountain bikes.
While TGR usually sticks to snow sports, the makers of UnReal are back on dirt for a second full-length feature. Watch Sorge’s athlete edit for Accomplice, then watch the official teaser below.
Kurt Sorge: The Ultimate BC Shred Session
From Teton Gravity Research:
“It helps to be around the right places when something as crazy as freeride mountain biking is born. From an early age, Kurt Sorge was drawn into the two-wheeled life as the fledging sport took off in the mountains around his home in British Columbia. Since then, he has seen the sport grow up, but that doesn’t mean he’s not still leading the charge.
Freeride mountain biking has defined who Kurt Sorge is, plain and simple. Whether its moments like winning Red Bull Rampage three times, competing in his own FEST Series events, or on freeride trips across the globe, finding new ways to push the limits of his sport are what Sorge lives for. Filming for Accomplice, he kept that expertise close to home, shredding huge lines in British Columbia with his friends and fellow legends of the sport Andreu Lacondeguy, Graham Agassiz, Nico Vink and Garett Buehler. In what seemed like an episode taken straight from the book of TGR’s Alaska Fantasy Camps, Kurt and the crew camped out in a truly fantastical zone, shaping lips and putting tires on lines they had only dreamt about before. It’s like big-mountain skiing and snowboarding, just without the snow.
