Mountain Biking – The Untold British Story: New Documentary Coming Soon

Singletrack magazine, in partnership with Blue Hippo Media, the BAFTA Award winning team behind ‘Bicycle’ (The Film) have started production on a new documentary film, about the history of mountain biking from the unique British perspective.

From archive footage of luminous Lycra clad XC racing in the mid 80’s, to the development of the Enduro racing scene today, this documentary will feature input and history from such luminaries as Rob Warner, Tracy Moseley, Carlton Reid, Martyn Ashton among many more witnesses to the development of our sport and pastime.

The documentary will tour the UK in selected cinemas from July 2016, before becoming widely available through streaming distribution channels. If you would like to get involved in the production, then standby for news of our crowdfunding options launching tomorrow at 4:00PM GMT …

In the meantime, here’s a teaser clip (t’s lo-res I’m afraid) for you from the full trailer, we are releasing on Friday. Don’t forget, set your alarm for 4:00PM GMT and get yourselves back here to see the full trailer and the great perks for supporters!

Singletrack Owner/Publisher

Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.
