Round Trip II

Los Angeles to San Bernardino. 125 miles, 15k elevation, one day. A dedication to the bonds of endurance and exploration. Using transit infrastructure to redraw the boundaries of experience, Round Trip is a cinematic tribute to the world’s built environment and the limit of mental space. Set against the mountainous backdrop of Los Angeles, Round Trip’s journey forms a tapestry of emotion and possibility. Using ever-changing terrain and the emotional state of endurance as a canvas for storytellers and creatives, Round Trip is an ongoing exploration of the untapped landscapes reachable by bike and public transit. Made in collaboration with Attaquer and Alba Optics.
