Sight Unseen: Guatemala

Sight Unseen is a celebration of the kind of adventure that comes outside of our comfort zones. Join Pivot Cycles athlete Brice Shirbach as he heads to Guatemala to push his limits on new trails, and immerse himself in the vibrant and generous culture throughout the region.

Pivot athlete and storyteller Brice Shirbach traveled to Central America to meet World Ride founder Julie Cornelius and ride trails where Guatemalan women are among those building local mountain biking culture. Launched in 2020, Sight Unseen celebrates discovery: each film captures the first run on a trail not previously ridden or scouted by the team, documenting in “one take” the joy of exploring new terrain and getting outside your comfort zone. In this new film, Brice discovered not only new trails but also a new culture. 

 

“Sight Unseen has been a very personal project for me, and Pivot has encouraged me to continue expanding the narrative in personally meaningful ways,” says Shirbach. “We were looking for destinations outside the U.S. when I learned about the brand’s broader partnership with World Ride. Sight Unseen Guatemala with World Ride was a no-brainer. The destination took our Sight Unseen’s deep commitment to discovery to new levels. It was a profound experience for all of us, and it’s obvious why World Ride is in Guatemala. It’s so much more than the trail.”
