Produced by Red Bull Media House and Anthill Films, ANYTIME is a non-narrative, immersive film that reveals the athleticism and collective consciousness of the world’s best female and male freeride mountain bikers.
– From the vibrant environments of the Chilean Andes to the Swiss Alps, through the deserts and forests of North America, the film follows fifteen women and men from around the globe as they push the boundaries of freeride mountain biking and redefine what’s possible on two wheels. Experiential cinematography and MTB action seamlessly intertwine with moments of fear, fun, and fate.
– Hannah Bergemann, featuring in the Big Water, Utah segment of the film, saw this project as an important momentum in pushing forward the female development of the sport.
– “The women’s side of the sport has evolved so much, just in the last years. We are sending massive lines in a series of events now. It’s been incredible to see women participating in huge events like Crankworx slopestyle and later this year we will be in Red Bull Rampage. We’ve also seen more of the participation of women in major films like ANYTIME which is amazing.”
– As the 18th edition of Red Bull Rampage takes place this October, a new chapter to its lore will be added by expanding the field with eight of the best female freeriders joining the men to make history in freeride mountain biking.
– ANYTIME features a selection of riders that have secured an invitation to join the inaugural female Red Bull Rampage line-up, including Vaea Verbeeck, Kiwi Robin Goomes, Cami Nogueira, Casey Brown and Vinny Armstrong.
– While ANYTIME takes the viewer on a journey across some of the most beautiful and challenging mountain biking terrains, some explored for the very first time, it also represents the beginning of a freeride movement.
– The overall progression of female freeriding in the sport – both with the strong representation of female riders in ANYTIME and this year’s historic moment at Red Bull Rampage means that the sport is entering a whole new era.
– As Hannah Bergemann puts it: “I feel like we will look back in a few years and it will seem like a pretty big chapter in the sports history just because it is sort of the first time that women are doing these things.”
