Presented by TREK Bicycles and VW, 24 Solo, follows 24 Hour Solo World Champion Chris Eatough on his quest to a 7th consecutive title. Shot in high def, this rare glimpse into the personal life of the sport’s most successful 24 Hour racer is a rollercoaster of energy and emotion. The film balances action and emotion with commentary from the biggest names in mountain biking including Gary Fisher, John Stamstad, Hans Rey, John Tomac, Alison Dunlap, Ned Overend and others cut to a powerful soundtrack crafted by the award-winning Off Road to Athens composer Haik Naltchayan. From
resounding victories in China and Wisconsin to his tumultuous training and the final race, viewers will have an unprecedented glimpse into the intense machine that is Eatough and his support crew. The film’s dramatic conclusion leaves one racer victorious and one hospitalized with severe blood poisoning.

Zo’n zalig filmpke maat. Echt ideaal om naar te kijken als ge op de rollen aan het trainen zijt. Ik vond het zelfs grappig dat ik sneller ging trappen toen Chris Eatough aan zijn inhaalmanouvre bezig was. Het heeft echter niet mogen zijn. Maar zo goed. En goed zot ook die mannen om 24 h aan één stuk op de mountainbike te zitten. Een echte aanrader.
