BAF ENDS ON A HIGH WITH MTB EPIC FILM ?Feature length ?WHERE THE TRAIL ENDS? 8pm Sunday 21st October 2012
The UK?s latest adventure festival is set to go out on a high. The Buxton Adventure Festival will be the second only feature length screening of ?Where the Trail Ends? (80 mins) in the UK this year, following its UK premiere at the Cycle Show on 29th September.
Red Bull Media House is proud to announce that Freeride Entertainment?s ?Where the Trail Ends? will feature centrally at the 2012 Buxton Adventure Festival, recognition of the courageous and boundary-pushing nature of the newly released mountain bike film. Where The Trail Ends takes you to the most remote locations on the planet in a mountain bike expedition unlike any other ever undertaken.
The film follows the world?s top freeride mountain bikers ? including the likes of Darren Berrecloth, Cameron Zink, Kurtis Sorge, James Doerfling and Andreu Lacondecguy ? as they search for unridden terrain around the globe in the hope of shaping the future of big mountain freeriding. This film documents man's challenge of Mother Nature and himself showcased through a cast of colorful characters. This is the most progressive and ambitious mountain biking ever attempted resulting in an entertainment adventure unlike anything experienced before.
BAF Festival Director Matt Heason says: ?We?ve been waiting for the latest Red Bull production for three years and it doesn?t disappoint. To be able to end our latest event with some of the world?s best pro mountain-bikers on the big screen is awesome.?
Need another adrenaline fix? Don?t panic. The European Outdoor Film Tour is coming to the UK for the first time ever, kicking off in Manchester on 25th November with its two hour action-packed edit of 8 of the best adventure/extreme sports films out there.
The line-up ends with a special festival edit of ?Where the Trail Ends?. And with two top quality mountaineering films; an epic Arctic expedition; mystical whitewater magic; a mega Alaskan snowboarding adventure; wingsuit proximity flying and slack-lining there really is something for everybody.
