"Follow me" HD movie | A treat, and lots of tricks for mountain bike lovers

Mountain bike lovers, you're gonna love this!

We just watched the official "Follow me" teaser, partly filmed in Whistler, British Columbia.  The world "première" will be happening in Monterey, California, on April 16th. This HD film is another production of Anthill Films, a company based in British Columbia.



This other video is the "making of". Quite amazing to see what's involved behind the scenes too!



It will be interesting to see which one's voted the best by the mountain bikers' community.
For the past two years the full feature film (presented below) "What's Next?", made by Aaron LaRocque, as well from British Columbia, was the most voted on. Should we call it "all bets are off"?
