Welcome back to the world of downhill mountain bike racing. A world covered in sweat, perseverance, and desire. A world filled with dreamers. A world that was dominated in 2007 by one cunning talent: Australia's Sam Hill. Many in the know thought that Hill had both the speed and mental strength to come into the 2008 World Cup Series fast and leave it devastated and undefeated. Standing in his way was a cast of athletes from around the world that were hungry, poised and ready to take the Australian down.
Featuring every round of the 2008 UCI World Cup Series as well as the World Championships and shot anywhere between the United States, Australia, Finland and Canada, the Tipping Point is the sport of downhill mountain bike racing documented. The Tipping Point is a group of characters that inspire, grow and dominate in a world they confidently claim as unique.
The Tipping Point is downhill mountain bike racing!
The Tipping Points world Premier is set in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, at the Cascades Nu Metro Cinema, April 9th, at 8 pm. It is 50.00 Rand to enter.
The Tipping Points US Premier is at the Sea Otter Classic, in Monterey, California. The Location is TBA (To be announced), but it's on April 17th at 8pm, and is $10 US to get in.

Wow this is going to be amazing.
Looks like it is going to be siiick! Although, it does look like it's just the same as the other ones he made. Fabien is still talking about the clock and your mind...heeeaarrddd iiittt.. epic teaser though. can't wait for the vid.
I like to see on DH movie. Earthed and first and between the tape seem the same to me...not that their bad movies at all
look at your name suicidedownhiller! irony.. a bit? He is the Film Boss for DH movies and biking movies in gemeral.
great spelling! I'm sorry, I forgot you can't state opinions on pinkbike, otherwise flame wars start

I wonder which new up and coming American downhiller is supposed to dominate the world this year. Good to see him hyping his fellow countrymen.
His movies are so good. I just hope he either paid a narrator or didn't do it at all. That's the only part that kills it for me!

alright time for a new theme. sounds exactly like the rest of his movies. fantastic shots, editing, and interviews, i just feel there needs to be a new perspective on the World Cup movies. anyone know what i mean?
Sorry, but I think his narration voice is so monotone and boring. His ability to tell the "dh story" is really good, however, I think he should get some one that has an exciting voice. His narration should match up with the film, and by that I mean his camera angles and interviews are the sh**, but so should his narration part. I'm not trying to bash on him, I think Clay Porter is the best race filmmaker out there. And I know I aint the only one who thinks this.

is it just me or is the first scene, when the dudes walking the bike out of the shed, realllly similar to the steve peat intro in seasons
that loooooooocksssss sooooooooooooooooooo sick i have watched f1rst probably 100 time no joke!!!!! need a new movie.
the bit with brendan in at the start was a right copy of what steve peat did in seasons wheeling his bike out.
