Thanks for visiting our About Us page and allowing us to tell our story. It began in Early 2020. Covid-19 or Coronavirus as it’s well known, started to ramp up in the United States and really all over the World. It was then that people began to find themselves sheltering in place and stuck at home.
While on lock down and sitting at home watching all the news unfold stress levels began to rise. I needed an escape. I needed the outdoors and whatever activity away from people that might bring. Already, spending most of my time outdoors, my default reaction of “take it outside” kicked in. Instincts told me to grab my bicycle and head to the woods.
In my case this was a daily trail ride on my mountain bike where I could completely social distance from people and get some much needed exercise. Time passed in what seemed like one big ground hog day. But through that time, I kept noticing a theme…people where spending more and more time outside.
I saw more cyclists, runners, walkers, kids riding scooters and playing, than I think I’ve ever seen before. Rather than completely spending all their time indoors on lock down, people were enjoying the outdoors boosting their exercise activity and getting a temporary escape from the Covid-19 crisis.
Month two and three of the crisis crept in and it became almost impossible to turn off any negative news filtering in. That is when the idea of All The Stoke was born. I thought, wouldn’t it be nice if there was a media outlet that promoted positive news around outdoor sports and activities. After all this was an escape from the chaos that people were using.
It could be mountain biking, hiking, running, riding scooters or even wake sports being pulled behind a boat. It does not matter specifically what it is. The main thing is you are outside doing something that brings you enjoyment and keeps you active. We are on this bumpy ride of life together. Let’s get outside and enjoy the time we have!
