Forgotten dirt: director's cut
Mountain bikers are constantly exploring the world around them, looking for new trails to discover. But as our world shrinks, unridden trail networks are harder and harder to find. In "Forgotten Dirt", Matt Hunter and a small team of riders travel to the remote Wakhan Corridor in Afghanistan on a world first mountain bike expedition to explore trails that are thousands of years old. Ironically, their search for new trails leads to some of the oldest trails on earth.
This edit was created specifically for the Banff Mountain Film Festival and was screened in over 195 theatres worldwide for an estimated audience of 100,000 people. In 2013 we travelled with professional mountain biker Matt Hunter and a small team to the remote Wakhan Corridor in Afghanistan to explore trails that had never been ridden before. But as it turns out, the journey to reach those trails was the real adventure.
