BTCEB celebrates community, culture and cinema

Freehub PRESENTS: A Mountain Bike Film Festival

Freehub PRESENTS, brought to you by Arkansas Tourism, is a collection of films from not only some of the best filmmakers and riders but also new up-and-comers, all given the proper big screen experience. The 2026 MTB film festival includes the short films Sweet San Francisco by Clay Porter, Where There’s a Will by Pierre-Luc Arseneau, I Have It All by Robin Sansom, Bike Short by Kevin McDevitt, Monochrome by Peartree Productions, Without A Doubt by Darcy Hennessey and Brandon Watts, and Return to Something by Alex Chapin.

BTCEB hosted a viewing of the MTB film festival at The New Parkway Theater in Oakland’s Uptown district on the evening of Wednesday, September 23, 2026. Thanks to the sold-out crowd of the MTB community who joined us to watch the films, share food and drinks, and hang out afterward — many even discussing plot ideas for their own MTB short films. Will one of them end up in a future edition of Freehub PRESENTS?

During an intermission, BTCEB raffled off prizes from White Industries, SRAM/RockShox, Freehub Mag, Leatt, Vittoria tires, and Enduro Bearings using donations made to CAMTB’s Ibis Dreambike Giveaway as entries. Thanks to Michael Anzalone from CAMTB for helping us select raffle winners from the list of Dreambike Giveaway donors using a random number generator, and thanks to David Wilcox for collecting the raffle prizes. The raffle made for an exciting intermission and offered another way for donors to win prizes from their Dreambike Giveaway donations. CAMTB registered donations of more than $2,000 associated with BTCEB during our movie night event: just over a third of the total BTCEB-associated donations of $5,855. Thanks to everyone who donated!
