Koncom apríla 2003 sa 27-ročný Aron Ralston vydal do utahského kaňonu Blue John zliezať steny a odpočinúť si tak od mestského života. Nikomu o svojich horolezeckých plánoch nepovedal. Keď mu balvan prišpendlil predlaktie ku skalnej stene, nikto nevedel, kde ho hľadať. Ralston so sebou mal len svoju výbavu, vodu, trochu jedla a lacný multifunkčný, ale predovšetkým tupý nôž. Najskôr skúšal pomocou horolezeckého vybavenia kameň rozbiť alebo nazdvihnúť, ale bez úspechu. Tretí deň sa mu minulo jedlo a voda. Bez šance na záchranu nahral na videokameru odkaz rodine, na stenu kaňonu vyryl svoje meno, dátum narodenia, dátum predpokladanej smrti a potom sa pokúsil o posledný zúfalý čin. Snímka je natočená podľa skutočnej udalosti.

Viewed at a distance, the world of mountain biking is a disjointed network of seemingly similar but disconnected communities. Freeride. Downhill. Big Mountain. All Mountain. Dirt Jump. Slopestyle.

Nevlastní bratia Jakub a David spoločne s kamarátom Sašom trávia väčšinu času vo svete sociálnych sietí. Vzťahy pre neho predstavujú chaty s virtuálnymi dievčatmi, ktoré nikdy nevideli, obživu - falošná módna šou, v ktorej sa predstiera niečo, čo nie je a najväčším životným problémom – vybitý mobil alebo nefunkčná wifi. Na nátlak rodičov sú donútení vydať sa pod vedením Davidovej pôvabnej „macochy“ Terezy na dvestokilometrový cyklovýlet. S prekvapením zisťujú, že tam vonku je skutočný svet, v ktorom život znamená viac, než status na facebooku, naozajstné dievčatá vyzerajú lepšie, než kreslené akčné hrdinky virtuálnych hier a k láske patrí tiež sex.

Long before the mountain bike entered our global consciousness, the cycling enthusiasts of Northern California's Marin County rode modified pre-WWII bicycles down the slopes of Mount Tamalpais. They developed their bikes through rigorous field-testing, often risking life and limb to do so. Some of these cyclists were Category-1 road racers looking for a new way to train during the off-season. Others were simply fun-loving hippies looking for a new way to commune with nature. Their early bikes were scavenged from dumpsters and junkyards. It was from these humble beginnings that a multi-billion dollar industry, a form of recreation for the masses, and an Olympic event, were born. These hefty steeds were affectionately known as Klunkerz.
