Anthill Announces ‘Return to Earth’ World Premiere & Tour Dates

What’s the best way to way to watch a feature-length mountain bike film? In a venue with a big screen, massive speakers and hundreds of other frothing mountain bikers, that’s how.

After almost two years in the making, Return to Earth is ready to land in theatres across the globe kicking off with the world premiere on June 14 in Vancouver, B.C at the Vogue Theatre. The filmmakers, athletes, diggers, support crews and sponsors will all be there and we hope you can join us!



The premiere world tour will then fan out across North America, USA, Europe and other international destinations. Shimano will be hosting a set of Signature shows in the US alongside public and non-profit hosted premieres.

For those who can’t make the premieres, Return to Earth will be released on iTunes and Google Play on July 16. However, we encourage all the home viewers to invite the crew around and enjoy the viewing experience with friends!

Also in July, Anthill is partnering with Trailforks, Trek, Shimano and EVOC for the 30-Day Ride Challenge. All of our team at Anthill will be taking on this challenge (even though we’re ineligible for the prizes) and we’re looking forward to seeing as many riders as possible posting their rides.

See you at the show!
