VANDERHAM TAKES FLIGHT
Shimano and Anthill Films drop a new video of Legendary Freerider Thomas Vanderham landing a massive hip. Saint and Vanderham have a rich history together which he discusses in the new video. Visit RIDESAINT.COM for more information.
Here are Thomas' own words on his motivation behind making the video: "I have always taken inspiration for my riding not only from my peers and my sport, but from other sports as well. Starting from a young age, I was always a fan of the high-flyers. From Terje Haakonsen to Michael Jordan to Bubba Stewart – I can’t get enough of watching these guys seemingly defy gravity. The feeling of weightlessness at the apex of an air has led me on a constant pursuit of hang time. It’s a journey that doesn’t have an end, but one that a lot of gravity riders can relate to. When Shimano told me that new Saint was ready to be put through its paces, we set out to build a jump that would maximize amplitude and style. The result really reminded me how far we have come in the ten short years since Saint was first introduced... and it was a whole lot of fun!" Thomas Vanderham.
