TGR’s latest action-packed mountain bike film: Esperanto - VIDEO
Esperanto is TGR’s latest action-packed mountain bike film that combines the sport’s rock stars with relative unknowns and up-and-comers. The ritual of the ride is unique across the world but the process is universal no matter the language spoken.
As TGR puts it:
“As we view this visual tapestry featuring next-level riding in unusual locations all across the globe, we hear a voice speaking a language we’ve never heard: There are more than 7,000 languages spoken on Earth. In 1887 a Polish-Jewish doctor named L.L. Zamenhof created a new one, a universal second language based on a combination of existing widely-spoken European languages. Its goal is to help bring people together from different ideologies, beliefs, and nations and ultimately to help end war. The language was called Esperanto. Translated into English it means ‘one who hopes.’ Today, Esperanto might remain elusive, but the dream of a shared language Spoken Worldwide still flourishes. You just have to know where to look for it.”
The athlete list is long and includes: 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.
Esperanto is screening across the world and for us, Nelson locals it is playing at the Nelson Civic Theatre on June 23rd. Check out the full schedule and reserve a ticket here.
