Huayhuash
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."
