A real blockbuster: “Bike Hard”

Tom Oehler, “Red Bull” athlete and two-time world record holder, is a bike ambassador for the destination Davos Klosters. In the bike film “Bike Hard”, he shows how playfully you can hammer single trails with the right riding technique.

“Hey Tom, are you ready for 700 kilometres of single trails? Well, then Yippie-Ya-Yay, motherf***!”, a well-known Hollywood voice booms out of the loudspeakers at the beginning of the film “Bike Hard”. Challenge accepted. In the next three minutes, Tom Oehler shows all his skills on the bike: wheelies and manuals on a blocked trail without losing flow, a rapid bunny hop over the trail gate or courageous jumps over rocks. Later in the film, Tom Oehler even presents the trail crew Davos with an unexpected shortcut. Whatever the case, one thing is clear: the single trails in Davos Klosters have probably never been so playful.

High alpine, flowing, blocked or leisurely in the valley: Tom Oehler rocks the single trails in Davos Klosters.

Brave jumps over rocks, elegantly opening a beer bottle with his rear wheel as he passes by or a rapid bunny hop over the trail gate: Tom Oehler shows off his riding skills in “Bike Hard”.

The single tracks in Davos Klosters have probably never been ridden as playfully as by Tom Oehler.

A touch of Hollywood

Incidentally, the film title is an allusion to the Hollywood blockbuster series “Die Hard”. And with the same dubbing voice as in the cult film. The voice belongs to Manfred Lehmann. The German dubbing artist has already voiced numerous film stars, including Bruce Willis, Gérard Depardieu and Kurt Russell.

Local top athletes in supporting roles

But it's not just the voice that sounds familiar: if you look closely in “Bike Hard”, you will also recognise top local sportswomen from Davos Klosters in supporting roles. For example, Tom Oehler meets downhill skiing world champion Jasmine Flury on the way and elegantly opens a bottle of Davos craft beer for her with his rear wheel as he rides past. And on a mountain ascent, trail runner Jasmin Nunige pushes Tom Oehler a little way up the hill. True to the “Sports Unlimited” claim of the destination Davos Klosters.

High jump world record and hurdles on a bike

Alongside professional mountain biker Sina Frei, Tom Oehler is a bike ambassador for the destination Davos Klosters. What many people don't know: In addition to several international titles, Tom Oehler is also listed twice in the Guinness Book of Records. In 2009, he set the high jump world record on a bike at 2895 metres. In 2013, Tom Oehler was crowned the fastest trial biker over 400 metres hurdles in 44.62 seconds. He beat Olympic champion Felix Sanchez from the Dominican Republic. But that's not all: in winter, he showed in a reel on Instagram that you can also bike on snow on Pischa, including a dizzying ridge descent. One thing is certain: Tom Oehler is always good for a surprise. The sequel to “Bike Hard” was filmed on the Alps Epic Trails Davos and will premiere in spring 2024.
