I recently discovered 3 biking videos on iTunes and wondered if anyone else knows of any other videos for download. I'm talking legit vids BTW!

Vids I bought from iTunes:
Vast
Virtuous
And the real surprise, Seasons!

They were all around £2 each and I've just bought an AV lead for my iPhone so I can watch them on the Tv :)

    As legit free-to-views, you could check out You Like This, or Finally, or the Mojo Trail Diaries- all free to view and downloadable. Finally's very racey, the Mojo Diaries are just fab- better quality than some expensive DVDs (naming no Finds). I was going to recommend the one with Danny Macaskill and Rowan Sorrell but tbh there's not been a bad one, some are mellow, some are SUPERGNAR, some have The Beard. But well worth it.

    There's a polish one called Ultimate 3 which is very good, it was on Vimeo, and it had a download link.

    That's one I listed in the first post. It's on iTunes for £1.89 so I got it from there. That way I know it's legit.

    Will check out the others though :)

    Sure is :) It's a bit more at £6.99 but you get the sd version for the phone and a downloadable HD version for the pc

    According to iTunes, the HD version is only available on iPad or Apple TV. What a crock of shit.

    Oh, and not a MTB film, but The Flying Scotsman (http://itunes.apple.com/gb/movie/the-flying-scotsman/id285508097) is available. It was on iPlayer recently. Inspirational movie.

    I rented The Tipping Point which said the same thing, and it's in SD.

    Really good movie btw. Follows Sam Hill through his 2008 season, with interviews with a dozen other riders.

    Just watching Tipping point! Really good but the difference in sound level between the music and interviews is really annoying :(

    Watched follow me and loved it!!! Really made me want to get out and push my limits a bit more, lol

    I thought it was pretty pish. Beautifully filmed, one or two good riding sequences, endless pretentious voiceovers, an awful lot of a bike in the back of a truck, and more slow motion than the Matrix.

    And it's £9.99 on iTunes!!! Seasons was only £1.89. Think I'll give that one a miss. I did get "follow me" and thought that was pretty good though

    We saw Seasons and Follow Me as a double bill and Follow Me came out badly but I think if I'd seen it by itself I'd have been more impressed.

    But Life Cycles and Vast as a double bill really showed Life Cycles up- some bike films are about riders, some are about racing, some are about just riding. But Life Cycles seemed to be about making an art college project that just happened to have bikes in. Those season change wipes, my word, were they done in Windows Movie Maker?

    Still, it all pales compared to the enormous crapness of Find.

    Well i wasn't impressed with life cycles :(
    It's beautifully filmed but just didn't make me want to rush out on my bike like the others did
