The
Revival brings together 17 of the worlds best fixed gear riders to show the
many different styles of riding that exist within the sport.
In 2009 the sport
felt very undefined with branches of the sport shooting off in all directions. The Revival wanted to capture all of this, whether it was the bmx-influenced tricks on
the east coast or the more traditional track bike tech tricks from the west. The DVD also shows that speed is still a defining side of the sport and captures some of the fastest riders on the planet rocketing down the mountain
sides of Vancouver BC.
The most progressive fixed gear
riding ever documented from both coasts of North America. Riders from Seattle,
Vancouver, Toronto
and New York City
have unearthed the potential of these modern day machines. Hill bombs in excess of 80 km/h and tricks that
have never been captured before on film tell the story of what this movement is
all about. This ain’t your grandad’s
bicycle anymore, this is The Revival.
