Log Line: Would you risk injury or death for something you love to do?

BIKES AND BROKEN BONES is a multi-award winning documentary that captures the essence of adventure sports: the rush, the exhilaration, the drama, the great outdoors and the fun. This film documents a year in the life of underground Freestyle Motocross (FMX) riders. It's a journey into the heart and soul of FMX in Australia and generation of daredevils who literally push their bodies and bikes to breaking point. Directed by first-time filmmaker (and FMX rider) Ben Heidrich, Co-Produced by Kim Mavromatis and shot and narrated by the riders (5 central characters), the film documents their uninhibited and extremely entertaining adventures. Enjoy the ride.
