The Old World

The Old World is the first dedicated European bike movie bridging the gap between mountain biking and BMX, but also between action sports movie and feature film. Four years in the making, The Old World was produced using the highest filmmaking standards in order to bring to the screen a premium sports movie. Remote fjords in Norway, magic Scottish Highlands, rough alpine mountains and metropoles like Paris were all visited by the team as they travelled for two years to capture the rich European riding landscape and its mountain biking stars.

In a unique way, The Old World portrays the various disciplines biking has to offer while telling the story of imagination and passion. Something every rider, sports fan and dreamer can relate to. Did you ever ride the contours of the passing landscapes with your hand on the passenger seat? Did you ever stare into a beautiful picture and it becomes alive in your mind? It’s this kind of imagination we all share.
