Maximus (5) and Miles (8) Bratton recently crushed their very first triathlon! Sure there were a few lows including multiple bike crashes, resulting tears, and the bee that flew directly into Maximus' mouth but there were also a few highs like popsicle bribes, a sense of pride, endless high fives and a super proud dad. Check out Human Powered Movement's latest Short Film "My First Tri" plus an exclusive sit down and thought provoking interview with these high-performance athletes themselves and a quick visual recap of this multisport escapade.

Behind the Scene's of HPM's Short Film - "Backyard Bikepacking"

10/9/2023

 
Author: Adam Bratton
​Read Time: 4 mins - Short Film: 5 mins
Picture
Exactly one year ago, I had just completed a 650+ mile solo bikepacking trip through a hurricane from Charlotte, NC to my hometown of Montoursville, PA. Reactions to that adventure from the HPM community varied. Many were inspired to knock out their own multi-day beatdowns while others responded along the lines of “Yeah, I could never do that”. This Journal and Short Film aim to address the latter and provide inspiration to get you started on your own adventure, in your own way. Join me as I take my boys, ages 5 and 7, on their first bikepacking trip … in our backyard.

(For the record: Yes, you 100% can do more than you think. Stop making excuses, set a goal, and work feverishly to achieve it!)

As fate would have it, adjusting on the fly is exactly what everyone had to do at Human Powered Movement’s South Fork Sampler Adventure Race this past weekend, and it was amazing!

Christi Moot is a highly successful business woman, a non-stop world traveling adventurer, and a straight up bad-ass single mom of a young up-and-coming ripper, Rowen (age 7). Christi's been a friend of HPM for years and clearly leads by example! We were (barely) able to track her down for a few minutes between her busy schedule to ask a few questions and learn how she continues to win at life!
