Transition 2 is the story of a bunch of North American cyclo-crossers going to Belgium to race during the holidays. For 10 days in the winter of '05/'06, filmmaker Sam Smith followed the likes of Brandon Dwight, Lyne Bessette, Ryan Trebon, Barry Wicks, Jonathan Page, Jeremy Powers, and Erik Tonkin through every aspect of the Belgian cross experience. He also shows what it's like for up and comers in the sport like Troy Wells, Jesse Anthony, Brady Kappius, Alex Howes, Bjorn Selander, and Danny Summerhill. I wanted to show what goes on over there as simply and honestly as I could while I made sure to keep it entertaining, says Smith.

The holiday week between Christmas and New Year is chock-full of GVA, Superprestige, and World Cup series races, making it possible for a rider to do a big race every day if they so choose. This makes it prime time for foreign racers to take a trip to Belgium and get the most bang for their buck. They race with the best in the world for a week straight in the harsh and unforgiving heartland of cyclo-cross.

The movie is not only about the racing, but everything that goes along with making the trip. Scenes from the Euro Cross Camp at the U.S.A. Cycling House in Izegem, Belgium as well as scenes at mechanic, Michel Bajorek's home add personality to the movie. Transition 2 is a 90 minute look into the hard, exciting, and often funny world of cyclocross.
