Forward and Best Day Ever Double Feature Screening

Director Nic Collar

Run Time: 66 Minutes

Born 45 days before his two triplets and living with cerebral palsy, Clay never let disability limit his experience. Shaped by their “super-mom” Joanne, who refused to let disability mean exclusion, the boys were raised to believe adventure and belonging were non-negotiable.

Now Clay and his twin brother Tanner are taking on their biggest pursuits yet- backcountry skiing and big-wave surfing. Joined by a vibrant cast of world-class adaptive athletes, they set out to defy expectations and redefine what inclusion in the outdoors truly means.

What begins as a personal journey evolves into a larger movement- a story of connection, belonging, and possibility, proving that outdoor adventure is truly for everyone, regardless of ability.

Key sponsors: Destination BC, Toyota, Pacific Sands, Skeena Cat Skiing and more.

The Best Day Ever documentary follows adaptive mountain bikers Greg Durso and Allie Bianchi as they tackle the daily challenges of disability—and find joy, connection, and belonging in Vermont's mountain biking community.

Set in the Green Mountains, this is a story of grit, independence, and what’s possible when community and creativity come together. At its heart is the world’s first fully adaptive trail network—built to prove that everyone belongs outside.

Visually stunning and emotionally powerful, Best Day Ever challenges perceptions of disability and celebrates community.

We’re raising funds to expand adaptive trails and equipment access—because for a wheelchair user, a mountain bike isn’t just fun. It’s freedom.
