About SEVER
Join Brandon Semenuk and special guest, Ryan “R-Dog” Howard, for their latest creation, “SEVER.” These boys take the all-new, long travel bike, the Trek Slash to the PNW to test its capabilities and push the boundaries of what bikes can do. Jumping on any bike, even the Slash, may not give you the skills or style of the boys; but it will help you smash through just about anything on your local trails.
Semenuk and R-Dog take you deep in the steeps, through the redwoods, in perfect conditions as they wind through the flowing corners and big hits on their Trek Slash’s, putting all 170mm of travel bike to work. A subtle reminder that “no, you don’t need that downhill bike,” you’ve been eyeing up, the Slash will handle everything you throw at it, including the kitchen sink. What these guys can do on a bike can only be described as downhill, high-speed poetry.
The riding in SEVER is simply unPARALLEled. It’s sure to make you want to grab your bike and hit the trails with your friends. So if you’ve got a bike, get out there, and if you don’t, maybe it’s time to take a page out of their book and get one.
Special thanks to the world-class build team, including Spencer Baldwin, Scotty Scamehorn, and Evan Young, and the outstanding production team, featuring Isaac Wallen, Nic Genovese, and Ian Collins.
