Our friends over at ChopMTB.com have picked three more must-watch mountain bike videos for us this week. We’ve got a tour of the Santa Cruz factory, an epic ride in Greenland and some all-mountain shredding on the slopes of Mount Etna – Europe’s tallest active volcano!

1 Santa Cruz Bicycles factory tour

Check out the old cannery where all of Santa Cruz’s bikes are designed, developed and assembled. No white-coated boffins here – just dudes with beards who love to ride!

2 Arctic Circle adventure

Czech trials star Petr Kraus heads deep into Greenland for the mountain bike adventure of a lifetime. Far from shops, electricity and phone signals, this is remote biking at its best.
