Clay Porter and John Lawlor have started to release these mini-trailers for their upcoming race film entitled "3 Minute Gaps". The first three feature Ben Reid, Matti Lehikoinen and everyone's favorite whip master, Brendan Fairclough.
---

"For two years the crew of 3 MINUTE GAPS have followed the world’s best mountain bike racers around the globe documenting them as they trained, prepared, rode, ate, traveled, raced, celebrated, commiserated, and made sacrifices simply because of the weight of ambition to be the fastest. There is no truer, more accurate and intimate depiction of the hallowed worlds of the very best World Cup rider's than 3 MINUTE GAPS.

Filmed in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, USA, and every round of the 2009 and 2010 World Cup Series and World Championships.

Director Clay Porter has traveled the world capturing a story of triumph and struggle.

From multiple World Champions to future World Champions - including Gee Atherton, Sam Hill, Aaron Gwin, Sam Blenkinsop, Brendan Fairclough, Greg Minnaar, Andrew Neethling, Danny Hart, Matti Lehikoinen, Ben Reid, and Josh Bryceland - this film chronicles the new breed of racers who are re-shaping modern downhill racing, and indeed, riding.

This movie is more than a Post-It note stuck on a page of mountain bike history, it is a leather bound pop-up book printed on sheets of polished stone with a crystal ball for the contents. For years to come this movie will still be referenced in conversations and discussions about when riding was re-imagined."

Can't wait. 2010 was a sad year with no Porter film to scratch my racing bug!

I hate it. These movies don't make the winter easier. They make it harder. I watch them all and now I feel like an ADD kid without medication. Though to be honest it lookes super good and I can't wait ;)

I hope Clay has been banned from talking on it. His camera work is epic but his talking makes me hate all his movies. They are the least viewed of all my biking dvds.

This just looks ridiculously good. I can't wait. After all the hype, Follow Me and Life Cycles were a let down (IMO), but I know Clay won't disappoint. Website and pre-videos look awesome. Discovered a new band as well...Wolf Gang sounds great!

here's to hoping 2 full seasons means we'll get a minimum of 180 minutes of quality footage for our $.
