"Big Red Ted" Tempany is one of Squamish's best trailbuilders. He started his career building slopestyle courses, but tired of building the same features which would inevitably be torn down after the event. Eventually, he found his passion: Building trails to be used by generations of riders. He teamed up with Anthill Films to build one such trail for Return to Earth, Anthill's 2019 bike film.
