Guest Q&A: Galen Bratton Read Time: 6 mins  Galen Bratton, the older brother of Human Powered Movement founder Adam Bratton recently completed his first multi-day bikepacking trip of the 184 mile Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Trail.
Although many have ridden this popular and completely car-free route, from Cumberland, MD to Washington, DC (or vice versa), the experience with his HS pals did more than just allow for a few days away from computer screens and onto two-wheels. It re-inspired the childlike wonder of riding bikes, it re-invigorated the need to move through nature, and it reinforced 40+ years of friendship. We tossed a few questions his way to get a feel for what last week’s pedal powered comradely session meant to him and his HS buds. Guest Q&A: Seth Baird, RaShawn Lee, Jesus DelaTorre, Adam Bratton Read Time: 5 mins - Short Film: 3 mins  You’ve likely found yourself staring out the office window and wishing you were outside instead of staring at a computer screen a time or two huh? Us too. That’s the inspiration behind our latest short film (3min) entitled “Lunch Break”. The goal is to motivate you to change up your daily routine and sprinkle in some creative activity during your midday break.
We sat down for a Q&A with “The Lunch Bunch” from the film to get their insight leading up to, during, and after our shared meal and experience. Guest Q&A: Christi Moot Read Time: 5 mins  Christi Moot is a highly successful business woman, a non-stop world traveling adventurer, and a straight up bad-ass single mom of a young up-and-coming ripper, Rowen (age 7). Christi's been a friend of HPM for years and clearly leads by example! We were (barely) able to track her down for a few minutes between her busy schedule to ask a few questions and learn how she continues to win at life!
Guest Q&A: Chev Dixon Read Time: 6 mins  Chevaughn Dixon was born in Kingston, Jamaica and spent most of his childhood between the bustling city and the rural Trelawney Parish before migrating to Yonkers, NY at age 13. Chev is an avid runner, cyclist, horticulturist, and professional kayaker. He is also the Director of the Hudson River Riders, a program that promotes access to nature for BIPOC people in the community. This June, Chev is kicking off the 2nd edition of the Hudson Valley Challenge (HVC), an annual multi-day human-powered expedition that celebrates community and highlights the recreational beauty of the Hudson Valley region of New York.
Between training sessions, recent features on Outside, and environmental and social equity activism on Chev’s plate, we caught up with him for a quick Q&A to learn how he not only handles, but thrives in the outdoors. |
