Ultra-endurance bike pack racing. Film has a nice variety of shots, a good pace and, of course, the unique Mr Leveika.Simon Taylor
The peoples hero! Justinas is a spectacular athlete and the story here is well told.Hannah Maia
Set against the backdrop of Justinas’s attempt at the Triple Crown, we dive into his motivation, backstory, and infectious attitude for life. With one goal in mind, “kicking ass”. He aims to race the Tour Divide, Colorado Trail, and Arizona Trail in one calendar year. Often seen as the holy grail of bikepacking races, the Triple Crown is a badge of honour for even the hardiest of bike riders.
Sustainability Notes:
"Justinas covers thousands of miles by bike, self-supported, carrying everything he needs. That kind of stripped-back, low-impact movement is at the heart of the story. This film inspires people to cycle.
Production crews were small, max 2, usually 1 person. All races in the USA were covered by local cinematographers to avoid flights. Lots of archive utilised and Justinas self filmed most of the key moments. "
