    Mecca in the Making The Story of Chattanooga Mountain Biking

    • Series Page

    Lookout Mountain, which tops out at 2,388 feet of elevation, stands tall as the dominant landmark on Chattanooga’s skyline. It also stands out as the place where mountain biking took hold in this part of Tennessee—a key launch point from which the city began its decades-long efforts to shed the image of a dirty industrial town and moved toward a brighter, cleaner, more active future.

    In “Mecca in the Making,” Chattanooga’s mountain biking history is explored alongside critical partnerships that formed between riders and local officials. The result is a modern, bustling outdoor town with more than 100 miles of singletrack near the city center.

    Filmmaker: Garrett Henderson-Black
