Video: Semenuk, Lacondeguy, Zink, Bergemann, Bas and More Go Big in the Official Trailer for Accomplice
It’s a moment time-stamped in our brains. Maybe it was a birthday gift. Or perhaps you saved paycheck after paycheck to finally purchase one. However you met your first bicycle, it was the pedal strokes that came afterward that hooked you onto something intangible. Adventure. Connection. Freedom. From the producers of UnReal and the director of Where The Trail Ends comes Accomplice, an homage to all the crazy adventures and crazier comrades that result from our finest sidekick. On the surface, Accomplice takes you to mind blowing locations across the globe with the world’s top riders. But beyond that, Teton Gravity Research’s latest film celebrates how the bicycle is more than just a mode of transportation - it’s a vehicle for the human spirit.
Check out more about Teton Gravity Research's newest mountain bike film, including updates on the Tour here.
The Accomplice tour launches July 8th, bringing TGR's latest mountain bike film to our biggest screens ever as the TGR tour heads to drive-in theaters around the globe.
Rally the crew, load up the car and get hyped to watch Accomplice on 100-foot wide screens as we blend the old school vibe of drive-in theaters with TGR’s award winning production quality. Add your car horns to the mix as you get stoked for biking while watching the best riders in the world - you’ve got a whole new viewing experience we can’t wait to share with you all.
We realize that not everywhere has a drive-in theatre. Rest assured - we are planning to add additional locations in the coming weeks as more drive-in theaters open, traditional theaters get approved to reopen, and we create our own pop-up drive-in experiences to share this film on the big screen in as many places as possible.
In locations we are not able to host a tour stop, we will be adding virtual events, where you will be able to watch the film with a Sierra Nevada in hand while still experiencing some of the key elements from our tour, including prize giveaways from our partners, an ability to watch with your friends, and even athlete and production team Q&As. If you do not see your location on the current tour list, please sign up for updates at this link.
Teton Gravity Research is hyped to share Accomplice with you!

Am I the only one that, while not denying a single gram of unreal talent from these guys, its not a massive fan of massive Crankworks or Rampage stunts style edits? I always feel a little disconnected when watching these, as if I'm looking at CGI (this alone speaks for what they are doing...). In the end I get a "wow, that's cool!" and that's it.
I get much more engaged and entertained by British Slice of Pie style things, or some of Nukeproof's promos
2011 GoPro, that´s almost VHS quality
Frst mountainbike was a Panasonic MC 5500... whoah!

So many films now just showing moody athlete shots and trying to create this atmosphere of guys riding bikes off ridiculous stuff as something "deep".
Mountain biking still taking itself too seriously. But hey, that's what sells now!
Good morning, I watched your latest mtb trailer and it came to my attention that you guys where only focusing on North American athletes, and all of them happened to be Caucasian. I am aware that there is not that many or any color riders in North America, however there’s Mexico’s Johnny Salido, Asian, good South African and South American riders that you guys could’ve include in this movie. I am not trying to attack you all in any way I’m simply suggesting that the people who are fans and customers of you would like to see more inclusion that just a bunch of privileged white kids. I would deeply appreciate if you guys take in consideration this message in future projects and not just segregate it for the ones who already dominate the scene.
Biking is not about being politically correct!
And this film isn't being politically incorrect either!
I'm sure race wasn't even on the radar when Teton was planning this movie!
They just put together the Arguably BEST freeride riders, which happen to be white for the most part as well as a really dope rider from a darker ethnicity.
It's just the same as Basketball teams that are all made up of African-Americans .... Those NBA teams are put together based on there skills .... Not based on making sure not to offend anyone irrelevant. The all Black NBA teams are put together for a reason. That reason arguably being there skill level is above those of other athletes!!
People aren't all racist, so please don't act that way!
Who's to say that the head of this Teton Gravity movie project isn't a African-American dude or lady ....
If you open your eyes, you'll realize that different sports attract different ethnicities, so yes, biking happens to be a sport that is heavily ingrained in Caucasian peoples culture.
SOOOOO yes most of the best Freeride riders happen to be of the corresponding color.
Also the best NBA players happen to be African-Americans (IMHO). Just how cultures are .... Can't try to change peoples cultures can we now!
Anyway .... This IS NOT YouTube, this is pinkbike ....
Keep it appropriate and don't post biased non-factual things again please.
So I ask several questions...1. What riders of color are there out there who ride at this level now?
2. what if black people actually don't like/want to Mtn bike? 3. Are POC being "Oppressed from Mtn biking" or do they simply not care about it as much as other races do?
it just seems that comments about "inclusion" like this seem more about virtue signaling than about actual answers.
Heck I'll wade into it even further. I'd be all for women to compete in RBR as soon as they start 360 dropping and back-flipping stuff. This has less to do with color and gender than it does with skill and desire I think.
1: Ding Zai Gang and He Jun Yuan from China, Isaac Paddock from South Africa and Johnny Salido from Mexico. They are AT LEAST at the same level of most of the in this movie AT LEAST! 2: I don’t that black people in general don’t like mtb, it’s wrong to generalize and just assume that they all don’t like it just because they are black. It’s like me saying all white Americans don’t burritos when probably all they’ve had is tacos. 3: They are definitely not being oppressed from it, we are just not being well represented, I listed at least 4 riders that can be part of projects like this and although they are at the same level not a single one of them is there. And by the way women stated their own version of rampage last year before the actual rampage happened. Of course it wasn’t at the same level in any way but they are staring just like we need to start being inclusive with other nationalities and ethnicities.
