We had about 130 people at the 4 pm show and a sold-out show at 7 pm.
We raised a really nice amount of money for COTA and the Bend Endurance Academy (numbers to come soon!) and it was summed up nicely by one fan who said, “This is what biking in Bend is all about — good friends, a cool atmosphere and a really fun party!”
Thanks to all the filmmakers who submitted films!
For many reasons, we do not sell copies of the festival in part or as a whole. All filmmakers retain the rights to their submissions and some choose to share the content online while others do not.
Check the Films and Presentations page for links to online videos and credits for 2010’s submissions.
Will Churchill won the BMX bike from Bend Cyclery at the 4pm show!
The house was packed with 470 people for the 7 pm show.

- Freeriding
- Tandems
- Mocumentaries

Both shows will be 90% the same, there might be some extra content for the 21+ over show, but both shows will feature great raffle prizes from our amazing sponsors and supporters, rowdy crowds and lots of friends.
Bike parking will be available in 5 parking spaces directly in front of the Tower. Bring your own lock!
Beer will be served at the 7pm show only. Please DO NOT bring your own alcohol!

All the bike parking was full, the tickets were sold out and the line was all the way down the street!
We had an excellently rowdy crowd in attendance for our first show and the feedback has all been encouraging.
The Local Programming featured over 15 shorts and ran exactly 1h 30min. With Intermission, COTA Awards, the Raffle and then New World Disorder 9 : Never Enough from NWD Films we ran about 25 minutes longer than we hoped.
But the best news is we raised enough money to donate $1,250 to each of our benefit organizations!

The official mascot may be a Bear on a Bike but the unofficial mascots are just as crazy! They’ve been attending some local Bike Events lately en route to the Tower Theater on May 29.

We’re pleased to announce we will be serving Silver Moon’s Epic Trail Ale at the Tower Theater for your maximum drinking pleasure.

Epic Trail Ale is also available in 22oz. bottles to take with you on your next outing!
