When Ian Collins and Brandon Semenuk team up, creative genius ensues. With Collins behind the lens and Semenuk behind the controls, the duo consistently churns out dynamic images that perpetually push boundaries, both in visual artistry and on-the-bike progression. For this cover, they shot in an abandoned silver mine near Merritt, British Columbia, producing a symmetrical feast for the eyes with Semenuk’s signature style as the centerpiece.
