Factory Husqvarna off-road riders Colton Haaker and Graham Jarvis star in a new documentary film called Checkpoints. The 40-minute film was produced by Motojournalism.com and Traction Rag, the creators of Fifty Years of Kicks.

Checkpoints chronicles living the off-road lifestyle as seen through the eyes of various generations. The film tells the story of five riders, ranging from 15 to 75 years old. For all his amazing bike-handling skills, it is easy to forget that Jarvis a multi-time Hard Enduro champion, is considered middle-aged by most standards–he’s 40 years old. Haaker, who just recently became the first American ever to win the Maxxis FIM SuperEnduro World Championship, is 25. The film also features Paul Rodden, 75, a veteran of more than 50 years of competition and trail riding, and Larry Murray, 65, former enduro rider. Beta-supported AMSOIL GNCC racer Jamie Baskerville, 15, represents the next generation of off-road riding and racing.

Checkpoints was filmed in August 2015 in Mattawa, Ontario, Canada, on the Voyageur Multi-Use Trail System (VMUTS). The film was funded through a Kickstarter campaign and also received backing from Ontario Tourism, Husqvarna Motorcycles, Beta Motorcycles, What a Ride, Canada Rides, TekVest, and Bytown Motorcycle Association.
