A Film by Nicole Hahn
Join Missy Giove, Marla Streb, Jacquie Phelan, and other brave women in their
natural environment: the dirt.
Some of them, like Missy and Marla, take on the pro downhill mountain biking
circuit - flying down steep, gnarly trails at 50+ mph on tricked out, custom
bikes. When they're not racing, they endure the tedium of travel, training,
hanging out...
Meanwhile, the sport's earliest champion, Jacquie Phelan, teaches frightened
novices new tricks, while a wise mechanic advises "it's not about the uphills
and downhills, it's all about the transitions" - a philosophy these athletes
apply to racing and life equally.
HardiHood reveals the emotions of the stars-and unknowns-who are the sport.
