Synopsis
Momentum is a film about Thomas Boury’s FKT attempt at the GTMC, a mountain bike route crossing the Massif Central in France. The route is 1400 km and has about 27.000 meters of elevation gain. Thomas decided to tackle it on a rigid and singlespeed mountain bike. He wanted to share the beautiful route with his father so asked him to drive Ryan around in order to make a film and share it with the rest of us. The result is a rather intimate tale of a father watching his son go through a very rough ordeal. The track suffered from diluvial rains and storms a few days prior to the attempt, it was a feast of steep and rocky singletrack with plenty of fallen trees along the way.
