Such a powerhouse of a film showcasing the incredible impact of adaptive cycling, trails and community. I could watch this film all over again immediately. One certainly not to be missed!Frit Tam
Best Day Ever is a film about community, freedom, friendship and the power of possibility. Inspired by the over 200 volunteers who put in nearly 6000 hours building the world's first fully adaptive trail network, it follows the stories of Greg Durso and Allie Bianchi, both adaptive mountain bikers. This isn't a hero story, and it's not about the difficulty of living with a disability. Best Day Ever tells a powerful and emotional tale about community and the power of inclusive recreation. At the Driving Range trails in Bolton, Vermont, the community created opportunity for Greg and Allie and other adaptive riders. When everyone was able to ride together, it dismantled the preconceptions and prejudices a lot of us didn’t realize we had. The Best Day Ever documentary raises awareness and reshapes how people view and connect with athletes with disabilities. We're leveraging it to change the culture of recreation by building more inclusive trails where everyone can ride together, and by providing adaptive sports equipment so more people with disabilities can get out on the trails.
