7:00 Ritual Mountain Bike Film Tour

The Gem & Mt. Abram Bike Park are excited to bring the Ritual Mountain Bike Film Tour to The Gem on Thursday, Sept. 19th at 6:45pm. Mountain bike enthusiasts, please join us for this special evening!

Since humankind invented the wheel, we’ve been determined to take it to new heights, push it to the limit, and revel in the experience. Ritual is a big screen celebration of the indomitable human spirit that defines the sport of mountain biking with unforgettable film-going experiences. The film series highlights incredible athletes, creative filmmakers, engaging storylines and stunning cinematography; bringing riders together in mountain biking’s greatest cities and venues – like The Gem and Mt. Abram in the Bethel area!

We are super stoked to have Pivot Cycles athlete and videographer, Brice Shirbach, join us for the evening. He will discuss his film project, Underexposed, that he is working on in the Bethel area from Sept. 17th – 22nd. Underexposed highlights mountain bike areas around the world and the Bethel, ME area is up next for being featured in his film series! Filming will take place at Mt. Abram, Inland Woods and Trails and around the town of Bethel. The video will premiere sometime in late April 2025.

Mt. Abram will host a raffle whose proceeds will help fund this project. Please support this event!
