Dates have been announced for the UK cinema tour of "Lifecycles", probably the most anticipated mountain bike film ever.
The creative work of ace mountain bike photographer , Derek Frankowski, whose work regularly graces the pages of "Bike" magazine and celebrated film maker, Ryan Gibb, "Lifecycles" has been over three years in the making. Shot entirely in HD and envisaged from the very start of the project as being made to be shown on the big screen in high definition and 5.1 surround sound, "Lifecycles" follows the life of the bicycle from its creation through to its ultimate demise. The film features the cream of the crop of riding talent and couples it with some truly breathtaking locations. At a sneak industry preview of a rough cut of the film in Whistler in August, the film received a standing ovation and glowing praise with one industry insider likening it to National Geographic meets The Collective. To see what all the fuss is about, log onto www.lifecyclesfilm.com to see the extended trailer.
Check out the trailer below:
The UK tour coincides with the release of the film on DVD. Copies of the film can be pre-ordered from www.lifecyclesfilm.com and will be distributed in Europe by www.x-tremevideo.com who have generously lent their support to the tour.
For everyone who catches the tour in the cinema, they will enjoy not just "Lifecycles" but also the latest feature from Ionate Films called "VAST". Shot entirely on location in Europe spanning locations such as the Swiss Alps, the stunning Ligurian coastline, the broad spaces of Provence and the streets of Berlin, VAST presents a uniquely European take on the freeride mountain bike film genre. While the riders may not necessarily be household names, their riding speaks for itself. A perfect companion piece for Lifecycles guaranteed to make you want to get out and ride. See the trailer at www.ionatefilms.com The tour kicks off with the European Cinema Premiere in Glasgow at the GFT (www.gft.org.uk) on Thursday 11th November at 8.30pm before doing a limited tour of venues across the UK.

Orange were thinking about doing a similar thing, but they couldn't really get the same experience of man with welder, rubber malett, and a pint of ale in full HD and surround sound.
Seriously though, I'm really looking forward to this film
