Genesis………………. The Beginning.

From the beginning of the Drop In Tour of 2003 there was a plan in place to do a movie. We couldn’t shoot 10 – 15 hours of footage per episode without using more than the 24 minutes needed for the show. We needed to give the fans of Drop In, who didn’t like the lifestyle aspects of it, something that hit hard.

We gave Milkman the go ahead to start work collecting his favorite shots for the movie that would cater to the more hardcore within the Mountain Bike industry.
He wanted to call it Genesis.

The name signifies Milkman’s first Freeride Mountain Bike flik. We asked him how that could be since he had created Idun’s promo videos – The Monkeystyle videos. He insisted that this was to be his first official crack at editing footage of some of the best in the world ripping trails, gapping roads, hucking cliffs, as well as his specialty which has been street riding.
The total package is Mountain Biking.

Milkman spent two months painstakingly sifting through all of the 150+ hours of raw footage to find the moments that make this film drip with style. He did the whole film while sitting on a beat up old mattress on the floor of his Vancouver apartment with his computer on a milk crate. When I saw him working like this it made my back hurt.

The ‘movie stars’ of this zero budget blockbuster are Chris Donahue, Steve Romaniuk, Dylan Tremblay, Super T, Dangerous Dan, Jared Jespersen and more.

Bonus features on the DVD include Rampage ’03, Doug Fink’s section, Steve Romaniuk rides the famous Rose Hill trail, scrap footage, and more.

Milkman captures where the roots of mountain biking, where it is at, and where it is about to go!
