Every sport has its ‘Dog Town and Z Boys’ or ‘Riding Giants.’ NOTHING’S FOR FREE: THE HISTORY OF FREERIDE MOUNTAIN BIKING is the real story of the birth and legacy of freeride mountain biking. Chronicling the blue-collar story and rise of a cult sport to a global phenomenon that put the race-driven sport of mountain biking on the map in the world of action sports and the mainstream.

It all started with a motley crew of blue-collar kids looking to be a part of something different, something people at the time couldn’t understand. And then everything changed.

From fringe sport to global phenomenon, NOTHING’S FOR FREE chronicles the birth and legacy of freeride mountain biking. The film charts a course through a three-decade journey with the pioneers, visionaries, and industry masterminds that pushed the sport to where it is today.

Outside Studios, in association with Freeride Entertainment, breaks boundaries in documentary filmmaking, taking a step beyond the talking head interview and deep into the mindset of its cast. Nothing’s for Free, features the biggest names in mountain biking from the early pioneers of adventure to modern-day internet superstars like Danny Macaskill and Brandon Semenuk.
