MTB Films

Oldskool_Paul

Afternoon,

Of riding (and work) with a broken collar bone at the moment and I'm getting really bored of sh!te daytime TV and messing on the internet!

Any recommendations for decent MTB dvds that I can get my hands on? I like all sorts of riding so anything with good riding will do the job.

Help a brother out before I go crazy

Cheers

The New World Disorder films are great too, I prefer them to earthed as they are more 'film' orientated rather than event coverage.

Anybody seen Klunkerz? Dirt mag give it a good review, think that's a definate purchase

The Trailer for the Collective - Seasons looked wicked...

cheeky bugger :P

just been reading that thread actually!

So was it the Meta you crashed?

It was my '08 Five that I crashed. First big ride on it as well so was proper annoyed to then spend a fortnight unable to ride it. You must be kicking yourself! lol

Dam the over-excitement of new bikes!

Glad I'm not alone in crashing a brand new bike lol

Yeah it was the 3rd right on my new Meta, only went for a casual friday afternoon blast. Had a couple of runs down the red DH line on Cannock Chase which went nice and smooth then binned it on a steep section I'd not ridden before but didn't look too out of the ordinary!

Anyway ordered a copy of Klunkerz because it sounds really interesting (loved the Dogtown skate film and got a feeling this has a similar vibe) and also the Hans Rey story coz he's one of my heros and has influenced me ever since I started riding back in '92, and the DVD was cheap

Those'll keep me going abit but keep the suggestions coming! My next hospital appointemt is the 9th April but then I've probably got another few weeks before I can ride again, gotta keep the enthusiasm up!

Here's a story to make you feel better - I used to work with a chap who was trying to make it on the DH Pro scene. He was due to go to the Alps with a potential sponsor. Went for a Warm up ride the weekend before at CwmCarn and binned it right near the top on his first run without even really trying - one of those classic zero-concentration, maximum fuck-up moments! He managed to break his wrist and dislocate his shoulder - thus canceling the trip. Doh!

Oldskool_Paul

Ouch, that's rotten luck! What happened next, did he get his ride in the end?

zero303

Dunno, he went to work for someone else soon after and never seen him since...

Oldskool_Paul

that's a shame, you win some, you lose some I suppose.

Anyway, went to my lbs yesterday and walked out with the Earthed box set and my other 2 dvds arrived today too. Watched Earthed 1 & 2 and Hans Rey's dvd so now I'm buzzing and even more p!ssed I can't ride Hospital next wednesday, hopefully the doc will tell me it won't be long til I can go play again.

Watched 'Klunkerz' today. I'd say if you're a mountain biker then you need to watch this film Watch this and I guarantee you'll never be bothered about riding the 'right' bike again. Reminds me of why I got into it in the first place as much of a cliche that might sound

Getting out in the hills and having fun, that's what it's all about

Disorderly conduct is another all time favourite of mine.
