A few words about the film from Radical Films….
“The Ride - the coolest human-powered adrenaline tool ever invented - the mountain bike.
The Rider - 15 individuals hell-bent on pushing the limits. They are crazy men who think they are normal. REVOLVE blasts in cinematic glory from the French Alps to the lush coast of British Columbia, incorporating Dirt Jump, Trail, Freeride, Slopestyle and Downhill.
Filmed on location in France, Switzerland, Germany, South Africa, Italy, Canada and the USA.
Featuring Jamie Goldman, Lance McDermott, Sam Pilgrim, Steve Romaniuk, James Doerfling, Rene Wildhaber, Garett Buehler, Mike Kinrade, Bobby McMullen, Sam Hill, Brendan Fairclough, and the coastal crew.”
Also, Bobby McMullen, one of the stars of Kranked Revolve will be making a special guest appearance at the SF Premier!
Bobby is one of the most courageous and inspirational people I have ever met, always positive and witty. His attitude and passion for life are infectious, making him even more amazing. Bobby may have lost his sight, but that doesn’t stop him from competing in several DH races each year, often beating people who can see!
Do you ever dream you could head out to the local park to play on a pump track, practice riding some skinnys, or take turns hitting some wall rides & jumps with your friends? Maybe you just wish there was well-made, legal singletrack within your city parks.
SF Urban Riders has been hard at work, pushing those dreams that much closer to reality.
The group has undergone a fair amount of growth and development over the last year, and along with officially becoming a non profit chapter of the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA), has selected an interim board of directors and launched a completely revamped website:
SF Urban Riders is hosting a public meeting and social this coming Wednesday, 5/27/09 from 6-8pm at Sports Basement Potrero Hill.

SF Urban Riders will be showing off their newest conceptual maps for McLaren Park trail and bike park improvements, giving a tour of the website and seeking public feedback and suggestions. This will be a BYOB event.
