Realm of Persistence - Free Ontario Film

by geof
Posted: Nov 4, 2009

Imprint Productions is proud to present its first film, Realm of Persistence. Including riders from all over Ontario, traveling the country for training and for fun, showing just some of the talent that Ontario has to offer the downhill biking community.

Shot on location in Toronto, Collingwood, Blue Mountain, Muskoka and Whistler, I have put together a twenty minute film (3 Parts) for all your enjoyment - for free.

This movie is about riders from Ontario who really love the sport of downhill mountain biking and what they do to participate in it. From training in the off season, traveling across the country to train in Whistler, to just riding every day at the local hill with their friends, they show true determination and love for the sport.

Part 1 - Whistler:

With me and my friends being lucky enough to get to go all over filming and riding, it was an incredible summer with filming continuing into the fall, having the movie premiere in Toronto last week was an amazing experience.

Part 2 - Collingwood / Blue Mountain:

Having fun with friends, improving and being passionate about something is what its all about.

Enjoy the movie and thanks for watching!

Part 3 - Camp Fortune Race & Muskoka:

Have a good off season everyone and see you in the spring!

That would have been oh so much better if you'd de-interlaced prior to uploading, and if you'd synced the shots to the music properly. Good riding and footage, but let down by the above mentioned.

Yeah a real shame about not de-interlacing before upload. Kinda spoils it really. I'm not sure the shots need syncing with audio though.

Get rid of the Whistler footage and focus on the Flatario footage, it looks awesome.

Yep as a former Ontarian I can say that is some good DH, but as current BC local I feel that there should have been even MORE pedalling in these XC video's!! Just razzin ya boys, great to see someone trying to promote the old(and flat)motherland...

its just too bad all that pedaling at blue is a requirement rather then an attempt to go faster

good vids though
