Movie tickets are still available via the GoProMountain Games Elements Mountain Bike event! All levels of bikers are able to participate in this virtual ride on your favorite trail with family and friends. INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN A MOUNTAIN BIKE COMPETITION BEFORE THE MOVIE? But beyond that, Teton Gravity Research’s latest film celebrates how the bicycle is more than just a mode of transportation – it’s a vehicle for the human spirit. On the surface, Accomplice takes you to mind blowing locations across the globe with the world’s top riders. From the producers of UnReal and the director of Where The Trail Ends comes Accomplice, an homage to all the crazy adventures and crazier comrades that result from our finest sidekick. However you met your first bicycle, it was the pedal strokes that came afterward that hooked you onto something intangible. Or perhaps you saved paycheck after paycheck to finally purchase one. It’s a moment time-stamped in our brains. Steve: If you are really passionate about what you do, you will get there.MOVIE NIGHT AT THE AMP: Teton Gravity Research: ACCOMPLICE Shay: What advice would you give to people wanting to work in the industry?

Steve: My education opened my eyes to all kinds of creativity and taught me how to write effectively. Shay: How has your previous education or work experience helped you in your current job?
We made some money commercial fishing in Alaska, bought 16mm cameras, and made our first movie, which generated a lot of buzz in the industry. We saw the Warren Miller film when it came out and thought we could make something a lot more progressive and relevant to the youth culture. We were sponsored by Rossignol at the time and were getting photos published in Powder Magazine as extreme skiers. Steve: My brother and I were actually skiing as athletes for Warren Miller. Shay: How did you get your start in the industry, who or what opened up more opportunities for you? Steve: I moved from the East Coast to Jackson Hole after college and built my career based around the premise of being able to ride powder and travel the world for the rest of my life. Shay: How has snowboarding changed your life? Steve: I love the ocean, mountains, snowboarding, surfing, skiing, books, the Grateful Dead, Jazz, eclectic food, sleeping outside and boats Shay: Tell us a little bit about yourself Job Title: Founder, Teton Gravity ResearchĬurrently I am: Getting ready for TGR’s annual film tour for the 2010/2011 Winter Season
