http://www.vimeo.com/2333560The long awaited Break the Cycle DVD has just been released! For those of you who don’t know, Break the Cycle film is a super chilled-out action sports documentary showing how ten of Irelands best downhill mountain bike riders use their bikes to break the cycle of every day life.
Break the Cycle gives an insight into the life of these Irish downhill mountainbikers, while also showing off the amazing scenery and trails Ireland has to offer. We have also teamed up with bands from Ireland and beyond to provide an amazing soundtrack, from the punk rock sounds of ‘Rigger’ to the chilled out vibes of ‘The Frames’.
The DVD is available for sale internationally directly through Break the Cycle web site, and should also be available at all good bike shops. If your local store doesn’t have it in stock ask them to get it in! X-treme video have took on European distribution so if you’re looking to stock BTC in your shop get on to them asap!

It was a long time coming, but Break the Cycle premier finally happened. The event started off with the RedBull reception at the Movie House cinema, on Dublin Road, Belfast. The night really did have a premier feel with most dressed up for the event.
After a stressful couple of hours setting up and orgainising I could finally sit down and enjoy the film along with everyone else. There were over 320 people in attendance, a wide mix of people from the biking community, and some just along to join in the fun.
The after party took place at AM:PM, and although quite a small venue I think most people had an amazing night. Check out the pics below courtesy of Marian Lamb from Cycling Ulster…
