James Flatten is a mountain bike trail builder and a fly tier. The culture of pro-mountain biking is steeped in toxic masculinity where mental wellbeing needs are often masked with high-adrenaline seeking behavior. Until two years ago, James was no exception to this cultural rule, but then it all became too much. Unhappy with his life and relationships, he decided to try another way of being, of thinking, and of expressing himself. Today, James describes himself as a fun loving, outdoor living flow farmer, creating ease and happiness not just for himself, but for other men around him.
