Full Cycle: A World Odyssey

Around the world in nearly two hours is an appropriate description of this new video, featuring cyclists taking on some of the most unusual and breathtaking trails on the globe.  The set, an obvious labor of love for creators Mark Schulze and Patty Mooney, will appeal to cyclists, travel buffs, and thrill seekers.

Mark Schulze and Patty Mooney can knock you out with a real sense of “wow,” including highlights of trials champ Ot Pi doin’ his thang at the Parthenon and a treacherous helmet-cam descent into a volcano.

Full Cycle: A World Odyssey is the Endless Summer of mountain bike videos as Mark Schulze and Patty Mooney criss-cross the globe in search of, not the perfect wave, but the perfect trail.  At the heart of Full Cycle is a freewheeling love story seemingly straight out of a Hollywood screenplay.  Yes, Mark and Patty really did get married on their mountain bikes.  Full Cycle’s itinerary spans the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Greece, Switzerland, Britain, Tahiti, Australia and India.  Highlights include a ride in the Hollywood Hills with actor James Hong and his family, Spanish World Trials Champion Ot Pi in a stunning demonstration on his stunt bicycle amongst the ruins of Athens, an underwater “mountain bike dive” and a bike ride inside a volcano.

Fascinated by the idea of mountain biking through some rough but exotic terrain?  Full Cycle: A World Odyssey takes video viewers to nine great destinations that emphasize biking, with an overview of local sites and their histories.  Mark Schulze and Patty Mooney, a husband-and-wife team, narrate this chronicle of their adventures.  The two-part video features superb views, from deep in the Grand Canyon to the trails of the Matterhorn to scuba biking in Costa Rica.  Also included are stops in Greece, Great Britain, Tahiti, Canada, India and Australia.

A husband and wife mountain-biking pair give viewers a glimpse of some of the world’s most challenging and beautiful mountain-biking trails.

I would hereby like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on the work achieved and on the perfect quality of the final product.

…An enjoyable glimpse of various tourist spots around the globe.

[This show] features several “world’s firsts”: first Westerners to travel (and bicycle) through the Himalayas of North Sikkim, India; first to ride a mountain bike 60 feet under the Pacific Ocean, and in a semi-active volcano in Costa Rica; first to document nine-times world’s champion bicycle trials rider, Ot Pi, performing stunts near and around historical landmarks in Athens, Greece. 

Schulze and Mooney came back with more than spectacular scenery, of which there is an abundance here.  They manage, too, to convey the joy they experience in getting out on two wheels on an open trail.  They’ve created an Endless Summer for the mountain-biking crowd. 

Don’t miss the underwater scuba biker and the daring jump from a 15-foot building.  Selling Points: The combination of the popular mountain-bike sport and beautiful scenery makes this title a natural choice for travelers and riders.

Sparkling footage of city landmarks, historical ruins, natural rock formations, bodies of water, and flora and fauna…  A tempting introduction to exotic locales for biking enthusiasts.

Avid mountain bikers will turn green with envy when they watch this two-tape set.  Husband-and-wife bike team Mark Schulze and Patty Mooney ride their bikes around the world, followed by a crack video team that captures breathtaking images of bikers riding remote trails in nine countries, from Canada to Switzerland to Australia.  Full Cycle is a potential rental and sell-through item for retailers near mountain-bike centers; these enthusiasts are avid and ravenous.
