New Mountain Biking Film to Screen Locally, Benefitting Fort Worth Trailbuilders

by Bernie

I don’t think I’m going to be watching any Tommy Lee Jones movies any time soon. Instead, I think I’m going to go see a film that has a more positive local impact.

The Fort Worth Mountain Bikers’ Association is having a benefit screening of Seasons, an action-packed new mountain biking film from The Collective, Saturday June 7th (which I’m guessing technically means 12:00 a.m. Sunday morning, June 8 ) at Rave Motion Pictures in Hurst.

Seasons is a film that follows 7 of the world’s top mountain bikers through the course of 4 seasons of one year, exploring what it means to make a full-time job out of a sport you’re passionate about. Tickets are $10, and the proceeds will go directly into club activities including building and maintenance of new mountain biking trails. If you’ve enjoyed the new challenges of the trails at Marion Sansom Park, then FWMBA deserves your support.

It’s also a rare opportunity to see this film on the big screen, where I guarantee you the action sequences will have greater impact. This is the only screening in Texas, so don’t miss it. Don’t wait for your buddy to buy the DVD… it won’t be as good.
