Specialized has joined forces with brand ambassadors Henrik Jensen and Reece Langhorn and the man on the camera, Nico Turner to bring you The Starting Point. If you've ever needed a reminder of why we all love mountain biking, this is it.

• Video: Boys on E - Specialized riders shred the brand's e-bike line up
• Video: Gee Atherton's The Knife Edge
• All of Olly Wilkins' best gurns from that DMR Axe video

The two riders swing their legs over a pair of Specialized Stumpjumper Experts, making light work of all kinds of riding during their big day out.

As we all know, everything gets better as soon as your tyres hit the woods and in this celebration of 40 years of the Stumpjumper, the boys show us just what it's all about.
