Three mountain bikers from Colorado attempt a multi-day circumnavigation of the Huayhuash range of the Peruvian Andes on a spur-of-the-moment trip with nothing but their bikes, gear, cameras and friendship.  A gnarly crash and gun-toting locals add drama to the film by the friends who have no formal filmmaking background.  

As TheClymb review puts it, the resulting film "touches a magic bal­ance between look­ing like the dream trip of a life­time and some­thing you could do yourself."

Film Reviews: "Think you need a mas­sive film crew and a fleet of sup­port vehi­cles to make a sick moun­tain bike film? Think again. In eight days, with only the gear they could carry on their own backs, Joey Schusler and two of his bud­dies filmed Huay­huash, the most stun­ning moun­tain bike film of the year so far." Read an interview with Joey on TheClymb.com
