"Feast your eyes on "Kawa-zaki", featuring Zak Mousseau. This one's a mash-up of ski-inspired steep loam and creative jibs, all tied together with the demeanour of a KX500; fast, loud, and unapologetic. It's not about perfect lines or manicured landings. It's about riding what's in front of you, making something out of nothing, and carrying speed through terrain that doesn't owe you anything."
"these are the trails and jumps he rides on the regular, a backyard zone where progression happens quietly, one session at a time. When the dirt is deep, the ruts get weird, and the lips aren't always "built," you either adapt or get punished. The Dreadnought is right at home in these conditions. It's the kind of bike that rewards commitment: carry speed, stay centered, and let the suspension do the work while you focus on the next hit."
Zak Mousseau charges Kimberley, BC trails in "Kawa-zaki", blending ski-inspired steep loam with creative jibs and a loud, fast KX500 demeanour. The segment prioritizes riding what is present, improvising lines, and carrying speed through unforgiving terrain rather than seeking perfect landings. Local backyard zones feature deep dirt, weird ruts, and unbuilt lips that force adaptation or consequence, with progression occurring gradually across sessions. The Dreadnought excels in these conditions by rewarding commitment, centered riding, and trusting suspension while setting up successive hits. Big terrain is framed as requiring a rider willing to charge, not polish.
