ZERO
traction is a 67 minute cyclocross film set to release this fall.
Zt was shot entirely in high definition over four days in December of 2007
at the Cyclocross National Championships in Kansas City.
Zt gives you the real feel of what it is like to experience hard-core cyclocross racing in extreme weather conditions including driving snow, mud, ice and frozen mud.

You’ll also see interviews from Steve Tilford, Ned Overend and elite men’s champion Tim Johnson. The film features action from 30 races cut to high energy music culminating with the exciting elite women's and men's championships.
Zt is a Roll Your Own Films production produced by Keith Walberg with additional support from Trek Bicycles and KLM Marketing.
