Watch superstar free-riders Nico Vink and William Robert carve beautiful shapes along the sides of Cotopaxi, a massive active volcano in Ecuador. They explore cloud-scraping freeride lines at 4700 meters before delving into the lush jungles below. Far removed from the world of contests and World Cup race tracks, these 12 minutes are an homage, a return, to the roots of mountain biking. CHAQUIÑAN reminds us why most of us started riding in the first place-- to shred (of course), to see new places, and to meet and hang out with cool people. 

Riding on a glacier is no joke, either. At a towering 5300 meters, riding mountain bikes on Cotopaxi Volcano is a challenge in and of itself. Enjoy this ode to Ecuador, bikes, and friends.
