Dream Ride

Follow along with the constant dreamer, Mike Hopkins, and his euphoric expedition aboard Diamondback’s brand new Level Link trail bike, the Release. Welcome to our paradise, where the trails unfold like magic before you and the views are simply out of this world. Welcome to our Dream Ride.

“It’s been pretty mind-blowing to see this project come to life. Diamondback quite literally gave us the opportunity to make a dream a reality. Locations, travel, concept- they allowed us to take an idea and show the real character of a bike. Much like this project, Diamondback had an amazing crew working behind the scenes to offer the best bike they’ve ever made. What can I say? It’s been the ride of a life!” – Mike Hopkins

“This concept has been cooking in my brain for quite some time, so when I had the opportunity to create something new for Diamondback I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Working with Mike, the guys from Juicy, Bruno and Secco was a pretty awesome experience. I’ve never seen a team work so hard to make something so perfect. I’m thrilled I got to be a part of this and see it through, and I really hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do.” -Lacy Kemp

This video would not have been possible without a few very key people.
