What a great little movie. if you don't know what its about follow the link and watch the trailer. As somebody interested in the history of bikes, you must be as you're here, this film talks about the life and death of Mike Rust. A lesser known player in the origins of the mountain bike. Highly enjoyable. Lots of footage of early mountain bikes, klunkers, Gary Fisher and all that gang.

And no, I'm not associated with the film, just enjoyed it.

gil_m - completely agree, great little town, great nearby hotsprings, some of the greatest riding -love Monarch Crest- and a great bike shop. Enjoy.

Re:

Great trailer – gotta catch the film/dvd. Says all you need to know about the spirit of mountain biking.

What are the theories around Mike's disappearance?

I'm not spoiling the film - google will tell you they worked it out this year - after the film came out. check if you want to. ;-)
