As per the title. Enjoy 🙂
Excellent, thanks
Hasn't it been free on there for about the last year or so?
Along with the other (almost equally good) bike film by the same filmmaker?
I know there are reasons, but it should really have been called "Mountain bike racing: the untold British story."
Klunkerz is also on there iirc.

Dunno, never seen it before but then I've never looked for it.
And yes, Klunkerz is still free, too; forgot to mention that. Useful if you want the full transatlantic history lesson or just want to observe the aesthetic evolution of Gary Fisher over a broader time range.

Well, Geoff Apps and Danny Macaskill aren't really "racers", are they? Anyway, back then, the race scene really was a key part of popularising what we do, in a way it isn't anymore… so the focus seems valid to me, when looking back.
Watch it last night after the PSA. I found it very enjoyable, and there was a pretty broad cross section of interviewees, and I didn't feel there was a huge racing focus. If anything, I felt there was a lack of footage from the last 10-15 years of British racing successes (though the film was more looking at at the era before this) - there wasn't even much focus on Peaty.
