7 Of Our Favorite Mountain Biking Movies
We had no idea mountain biking movies existed until our first Canada road trip close to ten years ago. Meanwhile, we were at a small café in Kamloops and Follow Me was playing on a wall-mounted monitor. The kids were nothing short of enthralled. Surprisingly, many of the movies from this genre are very well shot and produced. A lot of the entrenched mountain biking moms and dads are well-aware of Life Cycles and many other earlier films, but for us- this was like discovering pizza or sushi for the first time. If your history with these movies is on the short side, download one now and get started on your extended education.
