                          RE: DETOUR MEDIA GROUP, INC.
                          ----------------------------


Dear Sir or Madam:

         We have acted as counsel to Detour Media Group, Inc., a Colorado
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with its filing of a registration
statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") being filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"), relating to an offering of up to 500,000 shares of common stock,
par value $.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), to consultants to the Company
or any parent or subsidiary of the Company upon the exercise of options granted
by the Company under the Consulting Agreement, dated May 23, 2001, entered into
by the Company and Hyperion Holdings, L.L.C. (the "Plan").

         In our capacity as counsel to the Company, we have examined originals
or copies, satisfactory to us, of the Company's (i) Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, (ii) By-laws, as amended and (iii) resolutions of the
Company's board of directors relating to the Plan. We have also reviewed such
other matters of law and examined and relied upon all such corporate records,
agreements, certificates and other documents as we have deemed relevant and
necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In such examination,
we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the original
documents of all documents submitted to us as copies or facsimiles. As to any
facts material to such opinion, we have, to the extent that relevant facts were
not independently established by us, relied on certificates of public officials
and certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company.





                  Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion
that the shares of the Company's Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the
exercise of options granted under the Plan, when issued pursuant to the
provisions of the Plan, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

         We hereby consent to the use of our name under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement and
to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In
giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of
persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder or
Item 509 of Regulation S-B promulgated under the Act.



                                        Very truly yours,


                                        /s/JENKENS & GILCHRIST PARKER CHAPIN LLP
