If we’re talking about golden-hour footage of trail riding in a lush wooded environment, give me color. But if the subject is mirror-smooth monoliths of sculpted dirt and an athletes picture-perfect mastery over them, the stark simplicity of black and white just makes the whole experience feel that much more stylish.
