The latest Atherton Project has been released. F-Stop's Clay Porter is the man behind the concept which takes us dreamers along for a full World Cup season of the up and downs of Racheal, Dan and Gee Atherton - Mountain Biking's super family.

This epsidode has serious footage of Dan and some big jumps and tells the tale of Racheal's injury at Leo Gang.

It is that time of year again... Crankworx in Whistler BC is approaching and with that comes the Saint Deep Summer Photo Challenge.

The format involves a team led by a notable photographer with the goal of capturing the world famous Whistler Bike Park and all the action that bleeds from it daily. 3 days to put together the ultimate slide show, which is then shown to a packed house of action sport junkies in Whistler.

This is by far the biggest mountain bike festival on earth. The crowd is a hungry range of dirtbags, professionals, industry shmoes and trophy wives. Maybe a few normal people too ;)

Last year F-Stop Faction member Mattias Fredriksson took the top honor. He was supported by a select group of riders and fellow Faction member and multi media genius Dave Mossop.

This year mountain bike photographer to the stars ... and F-Stop Faction member Sven Martin stands to do battle against an extremely stacked field. Sven is not out of his league by any means but jesus! he has some competition.

Best of luck to Sven who just raced the MEGA Avalanche in France. Peep this video to get idea of that race. The start is kinda crazy.

You can also help choose a Wildcard slot for one lucky photographer. I'm leaning towards Adrian Marcoux (he has a gift for photo, that needs to be exposed).... with Mason Mashon followed closely. Best of luck to all.

This morning Twitter had a nice surprise for me. Matty Stalker left a message saying "48 Hour Human Timelapse on a Canon 5D...".

This brought a smile to my face.

CLICK HERE for his 48 Hours in the chair on a roof...

For Matty's trouble were going to send him a F-Stop Heritage T-Shirt.
