- DirectorDerek FrankowskiRyan GibbStarsGraham TraceyGraham AgassizMike HopkinsStory of the bike, from its creation to its demise.
- DirectorJørgen LethStarsDavid SaundersRoger De VlaeminckMarc DemeyerThe film follows the French Paris-Roubaix spring classic, notorious for the hellish paves or cobbled roads of the north "which are no longer used for traffic but only for transporting cattle - and for cycle races". We are there from the dawn preparations and rituals on the outskirts of Paris and through the rigours of the race with special focus on a number of prominent cyclists to the final outcome on the Roubaix cycle track - followed by the filthy riders taking their showers. There is also an eye for life among the spectators and the media event as such. The film alternates among different kinds of shot with a view to establishing the most suitable view of the narrative: shots from motorcycles, which are able to convey the motion of the race and provide close ups of the riders in the style of television cycle race reporting; fixed cameras stationed at strategically important points along the route, where viewers can watch riders passing in real time and thus gain a clear overview of the distance between the leaders and the main field: and the Olympian eye of the helicopter shots.

- DirectorScott Donald MitchellStarsAngus MortonLachlan MortonWe have had the view that sports in general is losing its sense of magic and wonder in recent times - in part due to scandal and in part to the reduction of all achievements to a bunch of numbers and all title winning efforts to a scientifically predetermined plan. We wanted to do something that re-embraced that magic of old. We wanted to participate in the frontier type adventures of Lawson and Wentworth, to be pushed to our limits, in over our heads all whilst exploring a true wilderness. What began as a way for us to catch up in the off season, and merge our two worlds of cycling and photography turned into a completely unique cycling experience. We threw away the conventions we knew of road-cycling, the training bible, the diet, and the equipment. We stopped talking about other people's form and started talking about the most interesting places to go. We ignored everyone else's opinions. We picked a route we knew would be extremely challenging, would have us end up in places way off the beaten track and with people we'd normally be to afraid to approach. We told mum and dad, and then we just went and did it.
