Strength In Numbers Competition – Who can ride the furthest?
Not only is “Strength in Numbers”, the eagerly awaited new mountain bike film from Anthill Films, the guys behind The Collective series of films, Follow Me and From the Inside Out; but it accurately captures what make Ride Sheffield work well. The more mountain bikers we represent, the stronger we are….
Because we have not been able to go digging this weekend, it seemed a shame to let the tickets go to waste, so we have a slightly different competition for you to win a pair of tickets. We want to you to show your strength in numbers by showing how far you can ride off-road this weekend.
All you need to do is send us some proof of your ride, ideally some kind of link to your route on Strava, Endomondo, MapMyRide etc, though if you would like to be creative with photos and maps then that is ok with us.
You need to send in your entry by midnight on sunday to be entered. Winners will be notified on monday. Tickets will be available in the box office of the Showroom on Tuesday.
Dont be afraid to enter a short ish ride. Conditions are a bit ugly this weekend, so you might still be in with a chance!
More info on the film can be found below…
“Strength in Numbers” is a new mountain bike documentary that explores mountain bike culture through the experiences of the world’s best riders. Anthill Films have created a film, which will change the way the world sees mountain biking, both on and off the screen. Presented by Shimano and Trek, Strength in Numbers combines progressive action and beautiful cinematography with compelling stories to show how the many different sides of mountain biking are all connected. The filmmakers, who brought you ‘The Collective’, ‘Roam’, ‘Seasons’ and ‘Follow Me’, traveled the globe to find communities that represented the many sides of the sport, with film shoots in British Columbia, Nepal, Scotland, Austria, Switzerland, California, Utah and the Whistler Mountain Bike Park.
Strength in Numbers features a diverse selection of riders with some of the biggest names in the sport, including: Andrew Shandro, Brandon Semenuk, Cam McCaul, Gee Atherton, Graham Agassiz, Matt Hunter, Rene Wildhaber, Thomas Vanderham and Wade Simmons. The cast consists of a mix of established pros, up and comers and local riders, with Anthony Messere, Adam Billinghurst, Rachel Atherton, Ryan Howard and Steve Smith also appearing in the film. “It’s been a long time coming and I can’t wait to see what the Anthill boys have put together”, says world cup downhill champion Gee Atherton. “For me, as a rider, it’s exciting to be part of something like this – it’s a chance to help progress and grow our sport.”
To coincide with the release of the film on DVD, Blu Ray and iTunes on a limited cinema release of the film is planned for the UK. A number of dates have already been confirmed with more expected to follow.
