a story 🎬

Pumped to have been able to direct/edit this piece as Connor was one of the first names in Canadian XC I’d heard back in 2018 after his U SPORTS title.

Now with his transition over to the roads, it was inspiring to hear his perspective on his career thus far with the highs and lows he’s faced, and happy to be able to bring this story to light.

You can watch the full 3-min video on page 📱

Thanks to for the help on this one!
