Set against the rugged Scottish backdrop, ALTER EGO follows endurance mountain biker Kyle Beattie as he rides the fine line between control and chaos. Blending high-speed freeride with a dark, cinematic edge, the film explores the quiet intensity that fuels a rider’s obsession.
Shot entirely on local trails near Inverness, ALTER EGO is a portrait of passion, landscape, and love for the outdoors. The film is a celebration of Scotland’s rugged terrain and the people who live to move through it and the locals that have made this place a hub for adventure.
