KEEP IT REAL - BEN WINDER

When photographer (and Misspent Summers director) Ben Winder headed out to Greece to shoot photos alongside Tommy Caldwell while he filmed Tea & Biscuits film, he didn’t expect to find such a hotbed of uncelebrated talent.

Anastasis Anastasiou rocked up on a beaten-up Specialized Pitch and instantly impressed with his unique, committed riding and clicked tables (see what we mean in his recent film, Blood, Sweat & Trails).

This shot sums up everything that is great about being a dirtbag riding bikes: no need for the latest and greatest technology or perfect machine-built tracks. Just head out down the woods, shape a lip and send it to the moon.

One of our all-time favourite moments captured in a special image. It was also the cover of Spent 1, our pocketbook of all things bicycles and dirt.
