Chasing Dirt - MTB Movie Contest
Every summer has a story. This is your chance to tell yours on the big screen.
Steed Cycles is excited to announce the second edition of Chasing Dirt will be held on Friday, September 17th, 2027 in Vancouver, BC. Chasing Dirt is a mountain bike movie contest celebrating the creativity, passion, and riding talent found throughout British Columbia. Whether you're a solo rider with a GoPro, a group of friends chasing sunsets, or an experienced film crew producing your next masterpiece, Chasing Dirt is your opportunity to showcase your work, connect with the mountain bike community, and compete for amazing prizes.
The best riding stories aren't always told through race results, although they certainly can be. They're found in early morning laps, after-work shuttles, road trips with friends, and the unforgettable moments that make every season worth remembering.
So grab your camera, rally your crew, and start filming.
The top edits will be screened at our Chasing Dirt Première at Container Brewing on Friday, September 17th, 2027 7-10PM where the community will come together to celebrate a summer spent on two wheels. The evening will also feature guest films from local athletes, showcasing the talent and stories that make our riding community unique.
All proceeds of the event will go to Protect Our Winters Canada.
