A Word from Bryon Dorr

Travel, adventure, photography, and quality gear are all extreme passions of mine. As an automotive and outdoor journalist I’m able to share those passions and pursue them around the globe.

I chased water and snow around the globe pursuing whitewater kayaking and skiing/snowboarding for the past two decades, photographing my adventures and the best athletes on the planet in the process. That lead me to living on the road for nearly 8-years full time, where I combined my interest and photo/writing skills into a career reviewing gear and sharing adventures.

My personal interests include Whitewater Kayaking, Mountain Biking, Adventure Motorcycling, Performance Driving, Overland Travel, Trail Running, Skiing, Snowboarding, Photography, Kiteboarding, and Rock Climbing.
