Woven throughout the depths of the woods, and the heights of the mountain are a network of super fun, fast, flowing trails. 'Into the Trees' is a short film showing the Altura Trail in its best light. A trail that flies you 1600ft above Keswick and always brings a smile to your face.

Amazing video, it really brought all the feelings that I had when I rode that trail! I think it should be vod!

Many of the shots were shown through two perspectives... It seemed a bit repetitive at first... and yet, it was a refreshing and neat way of doing things that you do not see so often! Props... very well done. It makes me want to make a trip all the way from Cali to ride it... and thats what mtb videos are supposed to do... Props!

This is a brilliant film, it is rare that I watch a film over and over again, just love the sound track and I'm definately gonna get up there to ride that trail, looks awesome, dug out my old mbr's to read the review. really made me wanna get my wheels on that trail. Looking at the bike set ups more gravity led types than xc'ers. Best film in ages great job Smile

This is exactly the way a video has to be filmed, if you want to make a brilliant video. The music also fits together with it. Altogether a great video
