The China Segment from 'Where The Trail Ends' - Video

Aug 29, 2017 at 17:21
by Pinkbike Staff  

Five years after the film's release, Darren Berrcloth, Kurt Sorge, and James Doerfling's section from China still features some of the heaviest riding of all time.

Where The Trail Ends is available for purchase on iTunes for just a few more days. It will be taken off sale by the end of the day on August 31st. If you haven't seen it, it's totally worth the $2.99 to own the film.

 I have heard whispers of a time before the 29er DH bike, but didn't think they were True. Tell me, what was is it like? Was it magnificent?

 It is true, all the myths and legends you have heard are all true. A golden age of bikes, some say it was the best era to have existed. If you listen to the whispers, and if you look hard enough, you might see the mythical riders brave enough to sport a wheel size smaller than 27.5

 For real, they were the best times. People seemed less obsessed with gear and just rode their bike........ Wait nvm, people still bitched

 I've watched this movie....I don't know how many times - at least 100, but everytime I do, I just want to go ride. Moving to BC from Ontario in a week, and absolutely can't wait!

 Damn that gave me flashbacks, I think i was 14 when I saw this movie. I thought it was so cool that I grabbed my bmx bike and rode to a nearby construction site and started riding down the big dirt mounds they had made, trying to roost up the loose dirt. Those were good days.

 This was such a great movie and will always be a little special for me. I was working for a tattoo magazine at the time and saw this when they were promoting in theaters. I met the director and we chatted a bit after the movie, and I eventually got to interview some of the guys and the director himself (some more). I was able to put together a multiple page article on the movie in the magazine.

 That was only 5 years ago? Those bikes seem ancient, the technology into bikes seemed to take for ever to evolve and now it's exploded. Riding is still on track tho!

 Yes but I think the filming took a solid two years or more to film and edit. I remember when this came out the bikes were out of date. So it's more like 7/8 year old bikes.

 Even the price is promoting 29 inch wheels. I think they should drop it to $2.66 for old times sake.

 Great freeride lines in a country where mt. biking is still unknown. It's not like there are very many trail-builders out there.

 I can pinpoint the moment I wanted to start mountain biking, and hence buying a mountain bike... It was watching this around my mates house a couple of years ago. This film was the sole reason I started riding

 Watched that movie once. No plans on watching it ever again. And when I watched it, all I could think of was the idea of a radical movie, called "Where the trail IS". Cuz, you know, I like trails...

 This film is why I have a dh bike.
