Mountain Biking:The untold British story from Singletrack & Blue Hippo Media on Vimeo.
Mountain biking is now in it’s 4th decade and it’s come a long way from it’s beginnings in the hills of the West Coast USA. But that’s only part of the story. The UK MTB scene grew in parallel to the well told US tale and this documentary, shot and co-produced with Blue Hippo Media and BAFTA award winning film-maker Michael Clifford, aims to layout the complete and unique history of how the MTB developed in British mud.
“ I’m so excited that there is going to be a film looking back at the history of Mountain Biking in the UK. It will be a great chance for me to reminisce a little and also will be an amazing education for our young generation of mountain bikers. It’s an exciting history that I think has yet to be pieced together, so I can’t wait to learn a little myself too.”
