It made a nice change from the noraml Thursday night rides, as it's been said before I really wanted to like Reveal The Path and I enjoyed around 80% of it, it was dull in places and inspiring in other places.
From both films I want to go to Nepal to ride the singletracks, looks a perfect for the type of riding I aspire to.
Thanks Chipps
PS why was the 2nd film called Strength in Numbers?
JohnClimber - I'm assuming it's an allusion to the diversity and size of the MTB community and how that will ensure the continuity and growth of the sport in the future....
Or something like that.
Best bit at 4mins 🙂
Top night I thought... Thanks singletrack! I do agree with many of the comments on the films but they were still considerably better than anything that might have been on telly.
I did suffer a reduced attention span during the second offering however that could have been avoided had I not been"forced" to drink Stella - more ale next time please!
PSA - for anyone else who saw the Verbier (Switzerland) bits of Strength in Numbers and thought "I fancy a bit of that", these guys will deliver it big time www.bikeverbier.com. They guide on some of the very same trails shown in the film. 100% recommended.
Earlier criticisms of the films aside, it was a good night out, so ta for organising and I'd defo come to see other biking films at the Picture House.
the only good thing about 'Reveal the Path' was that one of the guys looked like Chuck Norris.
Strength in Numbers was great, enjoyed it.
It was nice to see a 5 year old who can jump a bike alot better than me.
good night, thanks singletrack
First off thanks to Chipp for bringing our film to the UK. As a creator of things you always appreciate your work getting in front of an audience. So thank you guys as well for taking time out of your busy schedules to show up and watch our films.
Our goal with Reveal the Path was to get folks thinking outside the box, outside your local trail system, outside your own country. Perhaps plant a seed that leads to climbing out of the rut some might find themselves in. We knew the “philosophy” element was much stronger in this film compared to our previous project, Ride the Divide.
Now that the film has been out there for a few months we are discovering about 50% of people really identify with the film and its message while the other half feel its not a fit for them. It’s perhaps a bit like musical tastes; some folks can’t get enough of the ‘Dub Step’ while it rubs others the wrong way. Some gravitate towards ‘Death Metal’ while others shake their heads in disgust.
As we brainstorm concepts for new projects we would love to hear what you would like to see up on the big screen. What would get you really excited in a MTB film? Feel free to email me directly with your thoughts and comments mike@revealthepath.com

Now get out there and ride your bike!
A night of highs and lows for me starting with getting the last fish supper @ the chippy then finding a £10 after leaving the hole in the wall pub @12am!
Reveal the Path was a disapointment very contrived and not well shot,the trailer was very missleading glad I did not download it!
Rather not watch friends sit in shelters waiting for the rain to stop then larking around on rickshaws for 10 mins and getting a local to do a singalong.Would have been far better to watch them suffer riding a phat bike up Alp D,huez and around the rest of the places they visited.
Strength in numbers was good but It was a repeat for me.
Well done Chipps and crew great venue shame about the beer cock up had to drink stella and larger for the rest of the evening!
See you again possibily

Sorted!!
Really looking forward to seeing it now!
postierich - I thought I recognise that rather nice v dub camper pulling onto the car park!
Interesting you felt that way about "Reveal the Path". Maybe if you were as amazing as I am, then you would relate to the people in it. Only joking, thought they were all a bit smug and unappealing. I bet the Americans love it.
DVD just arrived. I'll put my feet up and watch it later with a beer and/or whisky in hand.
Druidh will no doubt say he likes it, seeing as the prevailing STW opinion seems to be a bit 'meh'. 😛
I know my tastes often vary from the sheeple 😛
Don't worry, you'll all catch up with me at some point. Dayglo and moustaches are on their way for 2014.
