2012 Rocky Mountain Flatline World Cup freeride mountain bike
[Author's notes] Created by Matt Butterworth and Eric Marciniak of Virtu Media, this will be their first full length film release. Featuring up and coming riders in British Columbia; we follow them throughout the province and down into the United States. Shot on location in Kelowna, Vernon, Vancouver's North Shore, Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton, Vancouver Island, Oyama, and Green River, Utah. [End notes] Freeride is a discipline of mountain biking closely related to downhill biking and dirt jumping focused on tricks, style, and technical trail features. It is now recognized as one of the most popular disciplines within mountain biking.

Danny Macaskill // The Ridge // Isle of Skye - Scotland // Mountain Bike Short Films // MTB Freedom // Trials Cyclist // Epic Rides

Danny Macaskill's new mountain bike film The Ridge // filmed on location // Isle of Skye - Scotland
[Authors notes] #TheRidge is the brand new film from Danny Macaskill… For the first time in one of his films Danny climbs aboard a mountain bike and returns to his native home of the Isle of Skye in Scotland to take on a death-defying ride along the notorious Cuillin Ridgeline.

Isle of Skye (/skaɪ/; Scottish Gaelic: An t-Eilean Sgitheanach or Eilean a' Cheò) is the largest and most northerly large island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland.[Note 1] The island's peninsulas radiate from a mountainous center dominated by the Cuillins, the rocky slopes of which provide some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the country.

The Black Cuillin, which are mainly composed of basalt and gabbro, include twelve Munros and provide some of the most dramatic and challenging mountain terrain in Scotland.

The San Juans. Proven Here. // Mountain bike films // Colorado USA // All Mountain Adventures from Yeti Cycles //

Proven here.Yeti cycles film. (San Juans, southwestern Colorado, USA)
[Author notes] The San Juans. Proven Here. from Yeti Cycles on Vimeo.

 In late fall, we traveled to the high elevations of the San Juan mountains to explore the vast range and to test out our prototype suspension platform. Our trip took us to the southwest part of Colorado because the San Juan's contain some of the most rugged terrain in Colorado and offer a loose network of trails — some fully developed, others just old mining paths filtering down the mountainside.
Fall in the Rockies is always epic, but the weather is variable. We encountered freezing temps and snow, but were rewarded with fresh loam and peak colors. In the end, after the trails were explored, weather was endured, flat tires were fixed, and a few beers were drunk, we found out what works and what doesn’t. Excursions like this are part of the feedback loop necessary to fully develop our suspension designs. SB5 Carbon & The San Juan’s. Proven Here.

Vertriders // Mountain bike films // The Line // Riding in the Dolomites of Northeastern Italy // Epic Rides // Microadventure //

Panorama of the Dolomites 
[Authors notes] A fine line defines the edge between ridable and non-ridable. The Line is also the 2nd film in Hannes Mair's trilogy accompanying the Innsbruck Vertriders on their alpine mountain biking project. This time they cross over the border into South Tyrol. On the northern edge of the Dolomites, they find a mountain with two disparate faces. The trail from the summit leads straight along the edge of a canyon. Have we now found what we were looking for? Any doubts left? And how far can a "responsible" fall actually be?

Vertriders:
Axel Kreuter
Benedikt Purner
Christian Piccolruaz
Christof Pfeifer
Gerhard Senfter
Sylvia Leimgruber

Directed by:
Johannes Mair, alpsolut.com
