STEPHEN SHANNON/RED BULL ILLUME<br />
FARWELL CANYON,<br />
BC, CANADA<br />

Shooting in Farwell Canyon – a location<br />
he describes as “the birthplace of freeride<br />
mountain biking” – has been a longtime<br />
ambition for British Columbia native Steve<br />
Shannon. Following several failed attempts,<br />
the photographer finally realised his wish<br />
in April last year, accompanied by local<br />
shredder and bike mechanic Cory ‘Coco’<br />
Brunelle. “Hiking out to the top of the line<br />
pre-dawn, we were greeted by a beautiful<br />
sunrise over the Chilcotin River,” he says.<br />
“Having grown up nearby, Coco is very<br />
comfortable riding down the chutes of<br />
Farwell, letting out a little style as he<br />
hurtles to the bottom.”<br />
