BEST DAY EVER cover image
Best Day Ever is an amazing documentary about a passionate group of adaptive mountain bikers, their friends, and a dedicated community of volunteers. The story centers on adaptive riders Greg Durso and Allie Bianchi as they embark on an incredible three-year journey to build the world's first-ever, fully adaptive mountain bike course in East Burke, Vermont. Over 200 volunteers show up weekly, transforming their hard work into an outstanding trail system that even includes the world's only adaptive Double Black Diamond course.

The documentary flows seamlessly and features outstanding camerawork. The thrilling close-ups of the adaptive bikers racing down the tracks are eye-opening, beautifully capturing the pure joy on their faces. Seeing how hard Greg, Allie, and the other riders work to overcome daily challenges and lead full, adventurous lives is utterly awe-inspiring.

The film also highlights the immense heart of the community. In one touching moment, Greg helps a non-disabled young man learn to ride an adaptive bike. Created by Richmond Mountain Trails, the film is directed by award-winning outdoor filmmakers Ben Knight (a former National Geographic Adventurer of the Year nominee) and Berne Broudy. Together, they expand our horizons by showing these riders flying down the trails.

This powerful film reminds us that we can accomplish amazing things, and even find a second family, when we work hard toward a common goal.

Advisory Note: Please be aware that the film contains a single instance of profanity; Greg Durso uses the "F" word once near the beginning of the movie.

I give Best Day Ever 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. By Evie K., KIDS FIRST!

Best Day Ever captures the powerful journeys of adaptive mountain bikers Greg Durso and Allie Bianchi as they conquer the rugged trails of rural Vermont. Far more than a sports documentary, the film highlights how they navigate the daily realities of disability with humor, grit, and an unbreakable sense of independence. Supported by a vibrant local riding community, Allie and Greg demonstrate how inclusive trails can dismantle ableism and foster deep connection. Their story serves as an inspiring blueprint for accessible recreation everywhere, proving that the right support and a bit of "attitude" can transform any challenge into the best day ever.
