DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>A film by Darcy Hennessey Turenne<br /><br />In the past 20 years, the sport of mountain biking has transformed from being a fringe activity in the outer reaches of the outdoor community, to a wildly popular sport with hundreds of millions of participants globally. From Nepal, to Macedonia, to Indonesia, it&rsquo;s virtually impossible to find a place in the world that does not have a core following of mountain bikers.<br /><br />But it didn&rsquo;t have to be this way. In fact, in the early 90&rsquo;s when our story takes place, most of the mountain bike industry was happily stuck in an insular bubble of race-centric exclusivity. Mountain biking was setting itself up to be just another action sports fad.<br /><br />And then the moment happened.<br /><br />This film is the origin story of a small movement of mountain bikers who rose up, challenged the status quo, and changed the sport in ways that can be seen in every aspect of mountain biking today.<br /><br />From technology, to media, to fashion, to the creation of a multi-billion dollar industry, this small, dedicated crew of adventure seekers from the backwoods of British Columbia, Canada, were quietly and unknowingly carving their path in history.<br />The momentum they created from pushing themselves and their bicycles harder, steeper, and faster sent a wave into the action sports world that still has not slowed to this day.<br /><br />This film is about the tipping point when freeride mountain biking became a global sports phenomenon, and the people who were passionate enough to make it happen in the face of industry adversity, injury, and heartache.<br /><br />This is a story that has never been told, told by the people who lived it firsthand.<br />This is the story of the moment that changed everything.<br /><br />Featuring the biggest names in mountain biking:<br /><br />WADE SIMMONS / RICHIE SCHLEY / BRETT TIPPIE / CHRIS LAWRENCE / CHRISTIAN BEGIN / BJORN ENGA / GREG STUMP / DANGEROUS DAN COWAN / ELLADEE BROWN / THOMAS VANDERHAM / DAVE SWETLAND / GRAHAM AGASSIZ / THE DIGGER / and many more&hellip;<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thisisthemomentmovie.com">www.thisisthemomentmovie.com</a></p>=0D=0A=
