David Meier blends ski runs and mountain bike lines across the Austrian and Swiss Alps in Two Faced 2, including a bike ride over open water.
Two Faced 2 is David Meier’s follow-up film, and it stitches ski runs and bike lines into one trip across the Austrian and Swiss Alps. At just over eleven minutes, it rarely stays in one genre for long.
What Goes Down in Two Faced 2
Dawn breaks over the Arlberg region and the film keeps moving from there, linking terrain that has nothing in common. Meier skis across bare summer ground, hits jumps beside professional mountain bikers, and water skis through a tight Swiss gorge. He also clocks roughly 80 km/h over a lake, then pedals behind a World Cup luge athlete along an icy track. For another film built on creative riding, see how Nico Vink pushes the limits of mountain biking.
A Summer of Building and Filming
The Two Faced 2 production ran about five months, between June and October. Meier and his crew built the setups, shot the footage and handled the travel themselves, pushing past what they first thought was doable. Fans of big-landscape riding can also watch Jakob Jewett ride through New Zealand.
The film wraps up as the sun sets over Lake Constance, where Meier rides a bike out across the water.
Ski or bike, Meier’s Two Faced 2 project makes a strong case for refusing to pick one.
