[Video] Rob Warner tries to return to the world championships in "The Way Back"

In September 2022, Rob Warner signed up to take part in the Downhill Mountain Bike World Cup. It was his life for almost three decades.

After a turbulent career in racing, he became a sports commentator.

In a raw and unsolicited way, it was the beginning of a new era of broadcasting. Through his unparalleled knowledge, enthusiasm and love of downhill, he became the voice of mountain biking.

Fourteen happy years followed, with the sport growing almost as fast as Warner's ego, until, at the end of 2022, the unthinkable happened.

Robert Warner was no longer "The Voice".

To say he reacted badly is an understatement. He no longer knew who he was or why he existed. There was only one way to get over it. To hit rock bottom and start again.

In this heartfelt documentary, Canadian director Nick Van Berkel gets access to all areas, documenting Rob as he has never been seen before. From his most vulnerable state to the beginning of his struggle, this is a film that is sure to leave a tear in your eye.

Can he find

The Way Back?

Thanks to Giant Bicycles for letting me make this movie and to the fantastic Nick Van Berkel for bringing an idea to life
