Set right out his back door, ALTER EGO is a short film that blurs the line between art and action. It follows UK 24hr endurance mountain bike champion Kyle Beattie as he leaves the stopwatch at home to explore a pure, unfiltered connection between rider and landscape. Shot entirely on Kyle’s home trails in Inverness, the film combines raw, fast riding with dark, cinematic visuals and an original soundscape built from natural elements. More than just a shredit, it’s a portrait of passion, rhythm, and the wildness that defines Scotland’s terrain and its people.
