Our new movie, Ten, follows our racers and crew alike through the best week of their lives as we celebrate their dedication and hard work. Ten is a feature-length film that celebrates our culture by telling the story of the race both on the dirt and behind the scenes. Sit back, grab a beer, and enjoy—you're going to like this one.
I am a mountain biker I eat pain for breakfast my grip is onto death and gravity is my bitch. throughout the daily grind as the clock grunts and sputters in its creeping lethargy my mind races ahead to the trail that's where the roots and rocks wait to rattle and shake my bones back to life to stir my blood and lungs
I am a mountain biker cables and sinew merge with blood and aluminium my pounding heart is the relentless groove that spills across this blur of greenery
My wheels - on the trail A foot on each pedal and mind - in the middle surfing through centrifugal force turning the wheel that turns the tide
I am a mountain biker and I eat pain for breakfast
He is a mountain biker? Behold his bulging physique the rippling muscles of a panther propel his silhouette across the horizon through the mossy trees over the stumps and jagged rocks careening past streams, cliffs and beasts and shadows
Spandex! Sweat! Flesh and metal collide in a joyful symphony of speed! The gravel flies beneath his wheels Bones chatter, muscles burn mud splatters, wheels turn He is a mountain biker
She is a mountain biker Her eyes shine with an earthly fire eyes bright with electrolytes the horizon crashes beneath her shocks perched like a falcon she swoops and dives through splendor
We are mountain bikers We dream to ride We ride to dream We know that a triumphant smiling face is best anointed with blood, sweat, mud and washed down with a nice cold beer
We know that every revolution begins with a firmly planted foot We know that without the pain the ride would be meaningless the sky less blue and the air less sweet You are a mountain biker, you know who you are You've come this far, give yourselves a mighty roar Let them see you howl and soar!
I was pretty nervous but excited on the start line on day one. But after that guy recited that poem with such enthusiasm I was so ready to ride. I'm glad they included it in the video.
I am a mountain biker
I eat pain for breakfast
my grip is onto death and gravity is my bitch.
throughout the daily grind as the clock grunts and sputters
in its creeping lethargy my mind races ahead to the trail
that's where the roots and rocks wait
to rattle and shake my bones back to life
to stir my blood and lungs
I am a mountain biker
cables and sinew merge
with blood and aluminium
my pounding heart is the relentless groove
that spills across this blur of greenery
My wheels - on the trail
A foot on each pedal
and mind - in the middle
surfing through centrifugal force
turning the wheel that turns the tide
I am a mountain biker
and I eat pain for breakfast
He is a mountain biker?
Behold his bulging physique
the rippling muscles of a panther
propel his silhouette across the horizon
through the mossy trees
over the stumps and jagged rocks
careening past streams,
cliffs and beasts and shadows
Spandex! Sweat! Flesh and metal collide
in a joyful symphony of speed!
The gravel flies beneath his wheels
Bones chatter, muscles burn
mud splatters, wheels turn
He is a mountain biker
She is a mountain biker
Her eyes shine with an earthly fire
eyes bright with electrolytes
the horizon crashes beneath her shocks
perched like a falcon
she swoops and dives through splendor
We are mountain bikers
We dream to ride
We ride to dream
We know that a triumphant smiling face
is best anointed with blood, sweat, mud
and washed down with a nice cold beer
We know that every revolution
begins with a firmly planted foot
We know that without the pain
the ride would be meaningless
the sky less blue and the air less sweet
You are a mountain biker, you know who you are
You've come this far, give yourselves a mighty roar
Let them see you howl and soar!
It's me riding at 6:48
