Clay Porter Productions is proud to announce it’s latest film 3 Minute Gaps. Shortly after finishing his last film The Tipping Point in the Spring of 2009, director Clay Porter decided to abandon his one year downhill race documentary timeline, to focus on something new and better. During this time, 3 Minute Gaps was born. Shot over the course of two years, 3 Minute Gaps is a performance-based documentary about the new school generations of downhill mountain bike racers.

3MG is a truly global project traveling to Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Europe, Canada, The United States and beyond. 3MG shadows the sport’s elite to intimately illustrate the behind-the-scenes, inner workings of today’s new guard of gravity racing and will continue the Clay Porter Productions heritage, which has documented more World Cup racing than any other film crew in the history of the sport.

Leading up the film’s release, Clay Porter Productions will release a making of webisode for each featured rider in the film. These will be featured on the projects media partner, Pinkbike.com for the first 48 hours of release, then be available to all other media outlets after. “For the website launch you’ll see the Behind The Scenes webisodes for Matti Lehikoinen and Ben Reid. Additionally, we’ve cut together a special Brendan Fairclough Teaser for the website launch and film announcement” explains Porter.

3 Minute Gaps is scheduled to premier in April 2011 and will be distributed worldwide on DVD and Blue Ray Disc exclusively through WAX and available for download on iTunes in June of 2011. The film is sponsored by Fox Racing Shox, Specialized, Giant Bicycles and PinkBike.com. For more information about the film please visit www.3minutegaps.com.

 BRAP! So much style and speed. Brendan certainly has a different way about him on the bike than many other top riders. They're all fast as hell, but he does it differently. Will he be taking a WC win this year? I certainly hope so!

 no, i am not. the sarcasm can be translated by "oh shit, changing is tear-off while jumping is sick"

 Here's my postcard.. The top 20 or top 10 qualifiers at a world cup start their runs 3 minutes after the rider before left the gate. Hence, 3 Minute Gaps
