“I think he found where the trail ends!” Passender als diesen Kommentar unter dem Youtube-Video kann man den Inhalt dieses sehenswerten 15-minütigen Clips von Matt Hunter und Anthill Films kaum ausdrücken. Komplett mit den Action Cams von Sony gefilmt, begleitet der Film den kanadischen Freerider und seine Entourage aus Redakteuren, Fotografen und Scouts auf einen nicht gerade unbeschwerlichen Trip durch Afghanistan, um dort die Trails des Landes zu entdecken. Dass man in Afghanistan bestens Singletrails fahren kann, dass es aber auch vom Sonnenbrand bis zum Schneesturm nicht weit ist, wird im Film dokumentiert – schöner Film einer spannenden Reise!
Mountain bikers are constantly exploring the world around them, looking for new trails to discover. But as our world shrinks, unridden trail networks are harder and harder to find. In “Forgotten Dirt”, Matt Hunter and a small team of riders travel to the remote Wakhan Corridor in Afghanistan on a world first mountain bike expedition to explore trails that are thousands of years old. Ironically, their search for new trails leads to some of the oldest trails on earth.

“It was an incomparable experience to ride the Wakhan. At first glance it may seem trivial to travel across the world, gambling with health and safety, just to go on a bike ride. But the experience of this trip outweighed those factors tenfold. We took a big bite on this adventure; it was more than we could chew alone. As riders, we couldn’t have done it without the help of the Afghans who were with us. In this way, we were a team. We came to ride, but we also witnessed how people can live without anything that we consider normal.” – Matt Hunter
