And your first language is...?
PS I think I'd have to say The Collective or, the all time classic, Dirt.

Good call Onzadog. I have the soundtrack on vinyl

On the Line, one of the best 'make you want to get out and ride' films i've seen. You cant buy it on dvd but the filmmaker just stuck it on his site for free instead.

Its in 2 parts, bout 35 mins all in. The little 5 yr old riding is cool, as is the train jump section.

Gotta be "Tread" with Hans Rey and Greg Herbold.
The scene where they have been riding all day and are deciding what to eat is a classic which my mates and I repeated for years.
Has to be done in a Hans voice: "Good food or healthy food? Good food!" (cue enormous burgers!)

I saw that at the cinema in all it's big screen glory, and at the time thought it was the best film I'd ever seen.

Breaking Away
Although I'm still not sure why the Russian riders had bushy beards. That's the stupid Americans for you!

Good call with Tread, Re-tread wasn't as good, the bit with HB's cross-training and his baja bug follwed by the single track to the music 'Crack in the Universe' makes me want to get out and ride though. That reminds me , the sun's shining, the bike's down stairs so I'm off out now !!!!

A Sunday in Hell, seconded. Tremendous film.

Love a sunday in hell, American flyers and breaking away are both in my dvd collection.
I love the shaun Palmer bit in chainsmoke!!Makes me want to ride fast.
Tread is a classic too!
"Trials is for geeks!Hipppity hoppity off the rocks,you know....whatever! Billy could never shred man!"
"Good food or healthy food?Goooood healthy food!"My fave bit of a film has got to be Jason Mcroy on his spesh full bounce in Dirt.The bit where he's pedalling his nuts off next to the dry stone wall,that's why we all ride caught on camera!

Roam, that bit with the downhillers all racing in whistler together or the bit with the guy building the northshore and then on zoom out he's riding it, Epic!

Kranked 5I agree with all these apart from Earthed 5. Whoever chose the music for that needs to be shot, didn't like it at all and I think the music was a major part of that.

The Flying Scotsman was quite good.

Home does it for me too. I love the trials around Glasgow.
Other than that I love the Earthed series and always come back to watching them, the music can be hit or miss but the DJ section with The Fall is fantastic. Love the section in 4 (I think) with the DH'rs riding spooky wood and the freeride at GT and seeing how fast it CAN be done and one of the guys landing a table top on the back wheel and manualling around the berm into the next table top always makes me smile.
My missus thinks it's sad that I can ride all day and still come home and watch a MTB DVD! She's right of course

Best biking film I've ever seen has to be "The flying Scotsman".
Breaking away is classic, for all the wrong reasons. Good for a laugh.

Opppps - Sorry about that, not long got in from a 12 hour night shift at the time and brain was still on day shifts.
Breaking Away

Are you not confusing American Flyers with Breaking Away there, but yes i wondered why the Russian wore a skateboard helmets and had a bushy beard and massive arms, it was a kind of cross between Streetfighter and a really really Sh!t film.

not truley a bike film but i like the bit in the 1950's film version of The 39 Steps, filmed around Loch Tay where he escapes from the police and villians on his bike?
