Weekend Schwag Grab: win a pair of tickets to a premiere screening of Strength in Numbers!

You and a friend could be watching Anthill Films' latest gem at a screening near* you!...

Heads up, Friday people! The sun may be shining and you're probably thinking of sloping off early for an evening ride in the sun. But focus! No, not on work, you fool. On this competition to win a pair of tickets to see Strength in Numbers, the new MTB flick from Anthill Films.

What's that about then? We'll let Anthill Films tell you. "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. A sport of individuals, equally defined by their many differences, as the common threads that bind. And while our story doesn't follow a straight line, we all end up in the same place. Tire to ground, foot to pedal, hand to bar – communities drawn together by trails of dirt.

"A new action sport documentary, Strength in Numbers is a rally call to connect all mountain bikers, regardless of location or language or discipline. The film captures a true way of life, from the world's best pros to those who are just learning to love the sport. Shot over two years in some of mountain biking's most iconic locations, Anthill's signature style combines compelling stories with core action to create a shared experience that unites all riders. Come join us!". Here's the offical trailer to whet your appetite:

We had a watch of the film last night while the free online preview was running last night, and by golly it's a beautiful thing with some extraordinary footage and great characters. Even if you're not an MTBer it's well worth a watch, and we've got a pair of tix to give away for any one of the following screenings:

Mountain biking?- that's going up the hairpins of the Alpe D'Huez, right?
