'Follow Me'

P-Jay

Anyone got their copy yet?

I can't wait, I like a good MTB film me!

Bit peeved, pre-ordered a copy months ago, only DVD was available, then as soon as it's out theirs Bluray!!

E-mailed Anthill, they passed me onto Pink Bike who swapped my order for me, top service!! But looks like it'll be another 2 week now :-(

Very disappointed with the Sam Hill section, I had high hopes for that. Good but i think NWD10 was better.

Some great moments though. The gap jump to wall ride on the Kamloops section was feckin nuts.

Where's he going... OH!

The Sam Hill bit was ruined by the weather, which was a shame, I guess some of the other riders would have been up for some stupid snow riding action but you can't expect that of the real athletes I reckon. And Gee Atherton's bit was just, well, completely dull IMO. Mainly it suffered from the lack of an ending, it just runs out. Not a bad film by any means though, just not very memorable.

wow... didnt know it was out yet

fredy

how does it compare to their other films?

Dan Dare

I've watched it a couple of times now, it's only 45 mins long but worth a watch, makes me realise just how slow I go on the trails though I liked the Killaflaw track from the last section, I downloaded it on iTunes, I'll play it in the car next time I'm on the way to Llandegla to psych me up!

Soul Boy

Seeing it at the Prince Charles cinema on Weds evening, double bill with Seasons

Ha ha, still looking forward to it, but of my haste to switch my order to bluray it's going to be another month...

It's only a film, and short rainy one by the sounds of it.

Honestly? It doesn't at all IMO, the best bits are about on a par with most of the bits in the others but it feels a lot more staged, and there's a bit of filler in it. And it's very short to boot. To me it felt really unfinished, like it'd been rushed to the market. It's not bad at all but they've set the bar high and they didn't get close this time.

Did the same in Glasgow, it was ace. And hopefully more like it to come.

fredy

I see, i would love to get one, is there a 'best one'? I would espicially be interested in any footage of BC.

Northwind

Not sure if there's a best. Think I preferred seasons myself but the first 3 are all good. Seasons has some absolute top quality bits and also, it's incredibly long

Oh and also available from Itunes for £1.89 8) Just get it. Get it get it.

Spot on. I was so excited for Follow Me but it defiantly had something missing. But saying that no one makes MTB videos even close to these guys so it is still worth a watch. Seasons is defiantly my favourite.

Also, if anyone hasn't seen the 2008 Red Bull Rampage, watch it, it's amazing. Probably even better than anything the collective/anthill have done imo

joshtp

Seasons was the best £1.89 i ever spent. its total y amazing.
i cant wait to see follow me, but i cant work out how to hack itunes to let me download it.

fredy

cheers for that itunes tip. good film. Shame about the quality though. WIll get the next one on dvd instead.

giantculler

the film is amazing, bike art.

chedabob

Loved it It kills me that I'm still about 2 years away from being able to afford a Downhill bike though

ponch

Watched it at Prince Charles last night. Excellent. hard to compare it to Seasons and ROAM, especially after only one viewing. it's defo up there though. The final NZ scene is unreal.

SDK2007

Loving the last section with Gee and Steve S - awesome riding skills.

peterpolo

saw this at the belmont in aberdeen last night.

Follow me then Seasons.

both were pretty awesome.

paul.skibum

I really liked all the sections, some unreal riding but it is pretty short and does kinda just end. Loved seeing my ski resort on film in the summer (Silver Star) I've skied over those berms and jumps so often, always wondered what they looked like in the loam.

NZ was good but should have been better, North Shore was short due to weather - they obviously got more filming after Sam Hill had decamped as there is much more of Vanderham (who for me is one of the best all round riders about).

fredy

i love it, the cinematography is really good and stops it being another boring biking film. Wasn't too impressed by the last part, i didn't think it was up to thier standards. It would be nice to see some trials again, the prague section in roam is brilliant.

bennett_346

Ho do i go about downloading said Seasons on UK iTunes? Cheers

cat_with_no_tail

I think they're showing Follow me at BikeRadar Live on the big screen (along with all the other most popular films like this), looking forward to seeing that if they are.

Chalky76

it's good, but i rate Seasons more

hoochylala

I watched this the other day. Never seen any of the other 'big' mtbing films like Seasons etc... so wasn't sure what to expect. I can honestly say I was blown away. The quality of the riding on show was amazing - it really does put my bimble in the hills into perspective

Looks like i will be buying the other mtb films in due course if they are anything like this.

FunkMaster007

I am waiting for my Bluray copy

to download Seasons on iTunes you need to search under "TV Shows"....
