“Embedded in the valley floor and its cliffs are shark teeth and dinosaur fossils. To the south ordinary-looking hills are a false front for the topography of the majestic Colorado National Monument. Also unseen are the hundreds of miles of mountain bike trails carved into the landscape.”

At the Tribeca Film Festival, Dave Itzkoff of The New York Times interviews Hoffman, Tremaine, and Knoxville about the origins of their film, Matt’s experimental surgeries, and what it’s like to be knocked unconscious after an enormous jump:

“The first thing I learned, whenever I’m starting to come back to consciousness, is remember to never try to remember anything. All your most impactful and devastating memories come back first. You don’t have all those great memories to balance it out. But I got knocked out in Japan, and I wake up and look over to the side. And my wife is six months pregnant. And I’m like, We’re having a baby?” Mat Hoffman.

“‘More and better designed bike lanes, that’s clearly what’s fueling this growth,’ said Wiley Norvell, a spokesman for the bicycling and pedestrian advocacy group, which has conducted an annual cycling estimate for nearly two decades.”

“Kreisa’s personal tale of ‘love at first bike’ testifies to her belief that a bike can suit different purposes throughout your life, whether it’s to keep up with older siblings, cope with not having a car, fuel a competitive nature or get some low-impact exercise,” reports Sheba R. Wheeler of The Denver Post.

“…Kreisa is spearheading several multi-agency initiatives between Public Works, Parks and Recreation and numerous organizations to help residents shift gears on how they choose to get around town.”

“As the bikers pull up to their meeting spot at the base of the Oakland hills, I overhear them say things like, ‘Well, at least it rained two days ago,’ and, ‘Hopefully we’ll get some mud.’ Apparently, the more mud, the better. It makes the ride slippery, fast and dangerous. And this is a group that can appreciate a challenge. These are self-described bike geeks from every niche of the Bay Area’s cycling scene.”
