Kristi and Luke recount the devastating experience of life-altering injuries that led to physical limitations that forced them to confront how the parts of their lives spent outdoors would change forever. Through their journeys, the documentary illuminates the barriers to aMTB-from the exorbitant cost of custom-built, specialized bikes to the frustrating lack of accessible trails and community knowledge. Ultimately, the film showcases how organizations are breaking down these walls, providing the critical equipment and community support needed so more athletes can experience the joy and healing of outdoor adventure. Adapt(ive) shows that mountain biking is more than just a sport; it is a catalyst that offers freedom and the ability to reclaim a long-lost piece of oneself. Written by
