When the Mountain Ceases to be White and Becomes Art on Wheels

During winter, mountains like those in the Lenzerheide Bike Kingdom, Whistler, and the legendary Mt. Prevost are covered in snow and dedicated to skiing. But when the thaw gives way to exposed ground, the same slopes that host high-level carving in January become the perfect stage for a different form of sliding in July: downhill. This is where ANYTIME was born, a freeride masterpiece where summer takes over from winter, and the trails transform into canvases for the planet's best riders.

Now, the Emmy-winning film that redefined MTB cinema roars back with a new version: the Gold Edition. And this is no mere update. It's an act of creative justice, a tribute, and a highly anticipated return: Jackson Goldstone is back on the scene.

The Return of a Scarred Dreamer

Jackson Goldstone, one of the world's most spectacular riders and a Canadian DH ambassador, was meant to be a core part of ANYTIME. But an accident at the Hardline in Tasmania in 2024 forced him into surgery and led to him missing his segment. Although the film was released without him, the creators knew something was missing.

A year later, thanks to Shimano and their Trail Born Fund program, Jackson and the Anthill Films team returned to Mt. Prevost, the mecca of Canadian DH, to film the dreamed-of segment: “Rainforest.” A raw, beautiful, immersive descent. An ode to nature, to speed… and to Stevie Smith.

From Stevie Smith to Jackson: Legacy on Rails

Stevie Smith defined an era. He won the World Cup in 2013 and left an indelible mark on the forests of British Columbia. Jackson grew up watching him, inspired by him. And now, he pursues that same dream. That's why ANYTIME Gold Edition is not just another segment: it's an act of historical continuity.

Goldstone not only wanted to ride Stevie's trails. Alongside the team and the Cowichan Trail Stewardship Society, he helped to rebuild “Putting on the Ritz,” an old abandoned trail that now comes back to life so future generations can dream, train, and fly.

The Art of DHI: When Ski Slopes Change Their Skin

The extraordinary thing about projects like ANYTIME is how they reveal the duality of resorts. In winter, alpine descents are the domain of skiing. But in summer, they open up to wilder art on two wheels. The same incline that launches a skier into a carving turn becomes the perfect line for a scrub, a whip, or an impossible jump. Every root, every curve, every shadow takes on new meaning.

This utilization of resorts transforms places like Mt. Prevost, Arosa Lenzerheide, and Whistler into year-round sports sanctuaries, where summer is not a pause: it's another form of art.

More Than a Film, a Statement

With the premiere of ANYTIME Gold Edition, Red Bull TV is releasing an extended version of an already awarded work for the first time. Not as an extra, but as a culmination. An act of emotional, technical, and symbolic closure. With Jackson back, the film is now complete.

And not only that: during filming, Goldstone was the first to test the new Shimano XTR Di2 groupset, a wireless transmission that represents another technical leap. Because here, everything is about evolution: of the body, of the bikes, of the trails… and of the legacy.
