factory47 are proud to announce that Life Behind Bars Pedal To Medal is now available to American and Canadian audiences. The two hour feature length documentary that followed Khalen Young, Jared Graves, Luke Madill, Jamie Gray and Glenn Codega leading up to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games has been an absolute hit in Australia. Although the film has Australian content, it’s a generic look at what it takes to get the highest level in the sport, the Olympic
Games. Inspirational and motivational are the words being used to describe this epic, never before seen project that will no doubt go down as a cult film in BMX racing. Want to know how to get to the Olympics? Life Behind Bars Pedal To Medal is a how to and how not to achieve the Olympic dream. Narrated by Nitro Circus Live Announcer Bruce Robson, Olympic Photography provided by BMX Mania’s own Jerry Landrum and sound tracked by over 20 independent music artists.
With the evolution of professional BMX racing, there may not be a film made like this ever again. Raw, honest, no holds barred the feature riders open up to not only the competitive environment, but their personal lives in this tell all documentary.
We have been unable to secure US distributors so currently the only place to purchase the film is via phirebird.com, shipping from Australia to all US and Canadian postal addresses. Own a part of history; purchase Life Behind Bars Pedal To Medal, the only film to document the first ever BMX racing teams to compete at the Olympic level.
