Anthill Films has just released a trailer for the Bike Parks segment of their highly anticipated upcoming film, "Follow Me". The premier is just one more reason to get yourself to Sea Otter.

Here is a quick look behind the scenes of the shoots we did for the Bike Parks segment in "Follow Me". This is a teaser for the complete making of series, which will be included in the "Follow Me" DVD.
Riders: Brandon Semenuk, Brendan Fairclough, Cam McCaul, Darren Berrecloth, Kurt Sorge, Matt Hunter, Thomas Vanderham and Geoff Gulevich.
Anthill Films has been pushing hard over the past year, amassing reel after reel of unique footage and bringing together some of the world's top riders. The concept for the new film is set to draw on the popularity of the "Seasons" Whistler segment, with more than one rider in almost every frame of riding.
Sterling Lorence grabbed this shot on Silver Star's Pipe Dream.
While it may be a bit of a stretch to suggest that "no one rides alone", one can certainly appreciate the visual appeal of two or more of the world's top riders crushing a berm that anyone can ride for the price of a lift ticket.
Cinematographer Darren McCullough snapped this shot at Sun Peaks.
The locations of the BC Bike Parks shoots were as follows: Silver Star Bike Park, which is located above the sleepy town of Vernon; Sun Peaks, a similarly situated park above the riding epicenter that is Kamloops; Vancouver Island's lift access hotspot and the host mountain of the Berrecloth Invitational, Mount Washington; and finally, the most infamous, famous, and for sale of them all, Whistler.

Bike Parks are truly the ultimate destination to showcase multiples. Multiple riders that is, and just because it's called bike porn doesn't mean that pun was called for. Ridemonkey would like to apologize. Thanks to Anthill for the great trailer!
