Must Watch: Rider Resilience – The Film

Well worth watching.

I am sitting here at the PC feeling sorry for myself with my leg in a brace after rupturing my ACL, tearing an MCL and damaging the Meniscus after an innocuous fall on my MTB in north Wales 4 weeks ago. These stories put life in a different perspective, especially Nils story. I need to look forward to getting back on the bike next year and be positive about the future no matter how bleak things may feel today.

I saw the premiere showing of this at KMF on Friday, although missed a little as I must’ve got some dust in my eye or something.

Ride on, people. Just ride on, whenever, wherever or however you can.

The other thread about this reveals the meaning of my username.

I have only just discovered this and have made a purchase on  the website and will support however i can.

I haven’t been brave enough to watch the film yet, as I have had also bowel cancer and having a bike to ride kept me going through chemo so I do understand, I would like to be able explain this to non riders though so hopefully this initiative will help with that

Nils did a longer video interview with Andy McKenna (the guy riding and living with MS).

Well that was fabulous.  Wasn’t expecting to like it but was hooked in about 20 secs

lovely filming

lovely lovely people

excellent choice of stories

The filming especially managed to capture those routes and trails and lines that bring joy.  Whole thing just worked for me

 

Get out and ride 🙂

Despite the Quantocks being like this all day that film stayed in my head all day ♥️

fantastic that, inspiring amazing people who keep heading forward regardless of lifes shit.

and a bit teary as i met Nils on a lakes do, lovely bloke.

That is a brilliant, moving video.  I still think Nils’ article is one of the best I have read in any bike publication.
