Everything You Need to Know About Freehub PRESENTS Film Festival

Get ready! Freehub PRESENTS mountain biking film festival comes to Colorado Mountain Club’s Basecamp on Thursday, September 4th! We've got all the details to make sure you're geared up for an epic night. 

What is Freehub PRESENTS? 

Freehub Magazine, a leading voice in the mountain biking world, curates this annual film festival to showcase the best of the best in mountain biking films. Expect a diverse collection of short films that capture the essence of the sport: breathtaking landscapes, incredible feats of athleticism, heartwarming stories, and the pure joy of two wheels on dirt. 

When and Where? 

We'll be gathering at Colorado Mountain Basecamp (15605 W 32nd Ave, Golden, CO 80401) on Thursday, September 4th. This is an outdoor event, so bring a blanket and chairs to sit on during the screening of the films.  

Doors open at 4PM with the screening beginning after sunset at 7PM. The event will be finished by 9PM. Arrive early to grab your spot, check out the vendor village, enter giveaways, and mingle with fellow biking enthusiasts! 

How Should I Get There? 

Given the popularity of this event, we anticipate that parking will be limited. However, we've got you covered. Parking attendants will help direct you to park in the field just West of our lot. 

For those planning to ride their bikes to the festival (and we encourage you to!), we'll have a secure bike storage area on-site, so you can enjoy the films without worrying about your ride. Here is a suggested route from the City of Golden: 

What should I bring? 

Bring your tickets (you should have received them via email), seating and layers (we’ll be outside for the event), and a good attitude! This is an outdoor event in the field next to CMC's Basecamp. It's more of a natural landscape (not soft green grass you can find at city parks), so we HIGHLY RECOMMEND bringing a camp chair, Crazy Creeks, or a heavy blanket to sit on. 

Can I sign up for the clinics? 

Both the Golden Bike Shop and Commencal Clinics are full, but you can sign up for the waitlist! If someone cancels, you might be able to participate.  

What Kind of Films Can I Expect? 

Each year's lineup is a carefully selected mix, but you can generally anticipate: 

• Adrenaline-Pumping Action: Watch riders push the limits on gnarly descents, send massive jumps, and navigate technical terrain. 

• Epic Expeditions: Be transported to remote corners of the globe as riders embark on awe-inspiring journeys. 

• Deep Dives into Culture: Explore the communities, passions, and unique stories that make mountain biking so special. 

• Stunning Cinematography: These aren't just home videos! Professional filmmakers bring their A-game to capture every moment in stunning detail. 

Can I bring my own food and drink? 

Water bottles are allowed, but please support our food trucks by purchasing any other beverages and food from them directly. No outside food is allowed. 

What if I need accessible accommodations? 

Email office@cmc.org as soon as possible so that we can make sure that you’re able to enjoy the festival.
