Cannondale partnered with the iconic Vans family to bring together a collective of artists and athletes in a way that uniquely realizes their shared passion of expressionism. Featuring five athletes who were given complete freedom to craft a tale showcasing their passion for sport and creative expression.

There's something about the freedom of two wheels that speaks to the soul of anyone who's not afraid to take risks. Taxwood hears that voice, and ventures toward it — using his Cannondale Synapse to explore the mountains of the west in a whole new way.
