All proceeds from donations will go to Silver Stallion Bicycle and Coffee Works, the nonprofit featured in the film. Donations of $10 or more will qualify you for a free drink at the bar (ID required for alcoholic purchases).
We will start the film shortly after 7 PM with a run time of about 40 minutes.
Film Synopsis:
“IN THE DIRT” is a documentary film about a group of passionate Native American cyclists who attempt to bring the sport of mountain biking to the Navajo Nation, where no bike shops exist. In 2018, retired pro cyclist Scott Nydam and his family moved to Gallup, New Mexico, to pursue a healthcare job for his wife. Soon after their arrival, Scott began meeting passionate mountain bikers across the 28,000-mile expanse of the Navajo Nation who loved the bike and wanted to bring the sport to their communities. The only problem is no bike shops existed. Through a grassroots native-led effort, this group of dedicated cyclists and their families have overcome countless odds to build a cycling culture that today has become the fastest-growing recreational sport on the Navajo Nation.
