Back in Black and White: New Cut of Emil Johansson’s Groundbreaking ‘Esperanto’ Segment


Esperanto was among the finest mountain bike movies of the summer time — and we’re nonetheless getting extra of it, virtually 5 months after its authentic launch.

Sometimes an edit is so good, it’s value visiting twice. Or, as within the case of this TGR edit of Emil Johansson, there’s a lot superior footage that didn’t make it into the complete movie, it’s value going again, digging by way of it, and making a further black-and-white minimize.

That’s the story behind this newest launch from Teton Gravity Research (TGR).

Last spring the motion sports activities movie manufacturing firm launched Esperanto. The mountain biking movie explored the concept that a sport can transcend language limitations. It performed with the idea of mountain biking being a common language. It’s one thing that folks can share a ardour for, and bond over, with out sharing a cultural background.

One of the raddest segments from the movie was Johansson’s. The Swedish slopestyle rider flies off of big jumps, stomps massive drops off of picket options, and performs aerial methods that appear inconceivable. There was a lot footage from the section that didn’t make it into the complete movie, that director Jeremy Grant determined to return and make one other edit. (Lucky us!)

This groundbreaking section of driving is only a style of what Esperanto delivered to the desk. Check out the complete movie on TGR’s web site.

Runtime: 4 minutes
