Tessa Treadway and her three children lost their husband and father Dave Treadway to a tragic backcountry skiing accident in 2019. Since the calamity, learning to mountain bike has provided a therapeutic conduit to ride the waves of grief for Tessa and her precocious oldest child, nine-year-old Kasper.

 

Tessa is determined to honor the approach she and her late husband developed for their family: chase life. Tessa courageously guides Kasper as he tests new physical and mental boundaries while pursuing progression on his bicycle. On solo rides Tessa turns to mountain biking as a form of meditation to gracefully maneuver the path of single motherhood as she grapples with the challenge of fostering Kasper’s safety and evolution both on and off the bike.
