“It’s incredible this year, you know, how tight the times were. I think the tightest one was my winning run in Leogang was 0.05s apart. Those little tenths of a second here and there..I think we did the math and it was a few inches.”
The Search for Milliseconds takes viewers inside downhill phenom Jackson Goldstone's high-stakes bid to become one of the youngest riders in history to claim the UCI DH Elite overall title. After taking 19 months away from World Cup DH racing due to reconstructive knee surgery, Anthill Films followed Jackson from pre-season testing to the tense, pressure-filled moments leading into the last race of the year. The film follows Jackson and the team that supports him as they hunt for every possible edge in a sport where the smallest fractions of time can define a champion.
“Downhill mountain biking has long been equal to other more mainstream sports in terms of the background and complexity that goes into a race run. It’s been a fun opportunity to dive deep into the details and personalities that support the performance of the top athletes in the sport.”
