At the head of a trail you’ve never ridden, a friend turns with a knowing look and says “Just Follow Me“.  We’ve all heard it and depending on who says it, it makes a pretty big difference for what lies ahead.  Whether it’s good idea or not, we almost always drop in.  Now riding alone is great, but let’s face it, we all ride harder,go faster, take more risks and have more fun when we’re riding with our friends.  In every experience from sending giant stepdowns to high speed trail, it’s always better to share the ride.

The filmmakers who brought you the Collective, Roam and Seasons present a new mountain bike film, Follow Me. Shot in high definition, Follow Me takes the viewer inside the action, capturing the unique perspectives and imagery the Anthill Films crew is famous for. Follow Me gets back to basics and reminds us why we all love to ride bikes. Breaking from the traditional format of single rider segments, the film documents what happens when the worlds best downhillers, freeriders and slopestylers ride together on some of the best trails on the planet. Follow Me is a portrait of modern mountain bike lifestyle and culture think back-yard sessions, ripping local trails, training bike parks, epic road trips and heli drops its all about having fun your bike. Follow Me will change the way you see mountain bike films and get you stoked to get off the couch and ride!

Riders: Sam Hill, Gee Atherton, Darren Berrecloth, Ben Boyko, Brendan Fairclough, Geoff Gulevich, Matt Hunter, Cam McCaul, Brandon Semenuk, Steve Smith, Kurt Sorge, Thomas Vanderham
