Christopher Booker:

This trail in the Canadian Rockies is known to locals by the name "Bragging Rights" — and it's not hard to see why. Riding it takes a mixture of stamina and creativity and a tiny pinch of crazy doesn't hurt either.

The trail is nearly 2 heart-pumping miles of rocks, roots and narrow passages through the foothills of the Canadian Rockies just outside of Calgary, Alberta.

But for Christian Bagg, riding these trails is something else entirely: freedom. And it's all because of his basement born invention that he calls the Bowhead Reach.
