Mountainfilm on Tour Presented by Osprey Returns in 2026
And There’s One for the Mountain Bikers
Mountainfilm on Tour is back in Australia in March 2026, and this year there’s a film that mountain bikers in particular will want to see.
The touring program, presented by Osprey, brings a curated selection of short films from the Telluride Mountainfilm Festival to screens around the country. It’s a mix of adventure, environment and human stories, but for riders, one feature stands out.
There’s a Red Bull Rampage film that dives into the preparation and pressure behind one of freeride mountain biking’s most demanding competitions. Not just the big sends and desert backdrops, but the mental load, the build-up, the consequences and what it actually takes to show up on that start list.
Rampage has always been easy to watch and hard to fully understand. This film looks beyond the highlight reel and into the reality of building lines, managing fear and carrying expectation in a sport where the margin for error is tiny.
And that’s what Mountainfilm does well.
It’s not a straight-up action film tour. It’s broader than that. You’ll still get jaw-dropping riding, but you’ll also get perspective. Stories about the environment we ride in. Stories about resilience. Stories about why people choose to push themselves in wild places.
Mountainfilm started in Telluride, Colorado back in 1979 and has built a reputation around meaningful storytelling rather than just spectacle. The Australian tour keeps that same feel. It’s polished, but not overproduced. Inspiring, without being preachy.
For mountain bikers, it’s a good reminder that our sport sits inside something bigger. The landscapes we ride. The risks we take. The community around it all.
With the tour landing just before winter, it’s a solid excuse to gather the crew, sit down for a couple of hours and watch something that might just fire you up for the season ahead.
Mountainfilm on Tour screens nationwide from March 2026. If you care about bikes, mountains and the people who push both to the edge, this one’s worth pencilling in. Get your tickets here.
