Suit Yourself Campaign

"Pedal & Process" is a six-episode cinematic mini-series that blends mountain biking with raw, unfiltered reflections on mental health. Through powerful visuals and poetic voiceovers, Zack rides MTB trails dressed in a tailored suit, a striking symbol of societal pressure and emotional resilience. Each 90-second episode captures moments of struggle, self-discovery, and quiet rebellion against perfection, offering solidarity rather than solutions. With themes like uncertainty, emotional honesty, and the healing power of motion, the series speaks directly to young men navigating internal battles, encouraging them to keep moving even when it’s hard. It’s not about Strava stats. It’s about saving your mind.

  • I first met Zack in February 2023 when he got into the sport of MTB. From day one it was clear he wasn’t just there to ride smoother or faster, he was deeply curious, relentless, reflective and genuinely invested in excelling. He soaked up every session, picked my brain religiously and brought a level of self-awareness that stood out. He brings something rare to coaching. He isn’t just about building better riders, he’s helping build better people. What started as a coach/rider dynamic quickly evolved into a professional relationship grounded in mutual respect, shared results and a drive to use bikes for something bigger than results.

  • When first meeting a person, you don’t know what to expect. But with Zack Wilson, he greets you with a warm, welcoming smile and you know exactly what to expect. He’s an extremely kind and caring person and knows every single detail of what he is coaching. Not only that, but even outside of coaching, he is professional as can be, and will support your journey through and through. He couldn’t be a better person.
