Teton Gravity Research premieres Esperanto

  • Ron 

Esperanto is the latest action-packed mountain bike film from Teton Gravity Research –  with an added twist.

Mixing the rock stars of the sport with a cast of unknown and up-and-coming heroes, the film explores how we share our dreams through a universal two-wheeled language no matter what our native tongue may be.

Some of the names you know and those that you’ll learn include Alma Wiggberg, Andreu Lacondeguy, Blake Hansen, Brage Vestavik, Brandon Semenuk, Brooke Anderson, Cam Zink, Carson Storch, Chelsea Kimball, Darren Berrecloth, Emil Johansson, Gift Puteho, Hannah Bergemann, Johny Salido, Justin Wyper, Kurt Sorge, Kyle Strait, Lukas Skiöld, Nico Vink, Rene Arévalo, Samantha Soriano, Sophie Gregory, and Tomomi Nishikubo.

The sacred ritual of the ride might sound different all across the world – whether it’s a full-face getting pulled down to drop into a big jump line or wheeling a beat-up bike out of a mud hut to pedal to school – but it’s a universal process no matter what language we speak.

The new Bike Film, Esperanto, by award-winning director Jeremy Grant, looks to showcase what living the dream on two wheels looks like. The movie title, Esperanto, stems from a language created in 1887 by a Polish-Jewish doctor who had the idea of creating a universal second language so we could all be connected no matter our beliefs, ideologies, or residing country.

Esperanto will have its world premiere in Salt Lake City on June 16, 2022 at the Red Butte Garden Amphitheater.
