Today, we release Long Live Chainsaw into the wild. After huge success raising over $100,000 for the Stevie Smith Legacy Foundation, the feature documentary is now FREE to watch on Red Bull TV. You can still donate to the foundation here.
We’d like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you that has streamed, downloaded or watched the film at tour events so far; we’re eternally grateful for the support and know that Stevie would be beyond stoked. The Stevie Smith Legacy Foundation will continue to use the funds to inspire and support the next generation of elite Canadian gravity riders.
“I was so excited to have the opportunity to share Steve’s story…and honoured that Anthill wanted to do it. Seeing his (our) life on the “big screen” was surreal…and very emotional! Every time I went to a viewing of Long Live Chainsaw, I was amazed at the audience reaction…they would cheer, hoot & holler, and silently cry. It was a bit of an emotional roller coaster, but I was happy to be able to give people a peek into his life and how he got to where he did. Anthill gave me the best present ever…thank you.”
Long Live Chainsaw reveals the true story of the meteoric rise, untimely death and long-lasting legacy of Canadian downhill mountain bike legend, Stevie Smith. From humble beginnings being raised by a devoted single mom, Stevie's unwavering belief not only propelled him to become the best in the world but inspired everyone he touched to believe in their own impossible dreams.
The movie was only made possible by a global, collaborative effort from Stevie’s family, friends, fellow athletes, and brands—to every filmmaker and photographer that ever worked with him. We are so thankful to have the opportunity to work with so many talented people to help share Stevie’s story with the world.
