Synopsis

‘Burning Mountains – A Vertrider Exploration in Namibia’. Follow the Vertriders on their unconventional extreme Mountain Biking trails through Namibia, a wide open land of harshness and surreal rocks. Three mountain bikers from Austria; Axel, Sylvia and Lars set out to explore the granite of the “burning mountains” of Namibia’s Brandberg massif and Spitzkoppe for rideable trails. Not knowing what to expect there the vertriders are eager to find out if their technical style of mountain biking works in as different an environment as the “burning mountains” of Namibia. Tune in for a mountain biking adventure into unknown terrain. A story of hardship and triumph and one of the steepest lines ever ridden with a mountainbike in an extremely remote and harsh environment.
