The other day it was too cold and rainy to do anything but have a few beers and watch some TV. So I found Where the trail ends on Netflix.
I enjoy documentaries and even more so about subjects close to my heart. Although I am new to the Mountain bike world I have fallen in love with it. So When I started to watch this I was enthralled. The scenery is amazing the riding even better.
The opening sequence is sort of a music video with these amazing downhill guys hitting the trails (or lack of in some cases) in Utah. Speeding, jumping and flipping down these hills, and doing shit I only wish I had the balls to do. They decide to travel the world and find some places where the tread of Mountain bikes tires have yet to touch. In a goal very similair to the film Endless summer where the surfers search the globe for the perfect wave to tackle Darren Berrecloth, James Doerfling, Andreu Lacondeguy, Kurt Sorge and Cam Zink Try to find lines that have not even been created yet around the world in places like Argentina, China, and Tibet. The scenery is awesome the riding they do is even better.
If you are just starting out like me or an advanced rider this film is a great watch....Here is just a glimpse...
Where the Trail Ends is a film following the worlds top freeride mountain bikers as they search for untraveled terrain around the globe, ultimately shaping the future of big mountain free riding. This unparalleled story documents man's challenge of mother nature and himself showcased through a cast of colorful characters. This is the most progressive and ambitious mountain biking ever attempted resulting in an entertainment adventure unlike anything experienced before. From the IMDB page
I Could not find who to credit with the pictures (both above and below) only refer you to the Official Site But just these stills give you a taste of the areas these dudes rode...
Nothing new on the beer front went with an old standby had a bottle of Sam Adams Winter Lager. But did have a long chat with my buddy Rob who does brew his own beer, about a few things I may need (also cost effecttive items, like instead of a huge brew pot, maybe turning that old Keg I never returned into a brew pot. Anyway more to come on the brewing as we get closer to my first class on making my own beer.
Disclaimer: I am no expert in anything on this blog as it states it is a Beginners journey into Mountain Biking and Beer Brewing. These are just opinion and observation pieces through my eyes as things happen. It is my personal journal for the world to see, that is all. Anything technical I would always refer you to some sort of expert, be it a brewer, or bike shop.
