About this episode

Dylan Wood and Simon Stewart discuss the impact and themes of the Mountain Bike film 'Life Cycles'.

Fifteen years ago, ‘Life Cycles’ was released and changed the perception of what a Mountain Bike film could be. Today, Simon and Dylan talk about this fantastic film, one of Simon’s personal favorites, and how it combines art, breathtaking cinematography, beautiful riding, with a story that weaves it all together with a message that’s more relevant today than when it first came out.
