BMX bandits. It's just awesome.

Mondo enduro!
OR
On any Sunday.

And the "action only" extra on the Where The Trail Ends Bluray.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure!

Breaking Away in second place.

I miss Earthed. Watch The Collective regularly. My boys love BMX Bandits. Lifecycles is dull.

Why do they do this? Every film seems to have some Yank droning on and on about how spiritual yet rad their journey has been.

Not just american ones, Find's dialogue is almost bad enough to be good. Worst I've ever seen.

And yes, VAST. Red travelllllinnnnnn socks

Life cycles? Not even in the top 5.

My personal favourite is MADE, not that well known, but an amazing film.

Follow me is probably the most well rounded and vast is also excellent.

Some of clay porters early stuff is good and seasons is also a gem.

EARTHED 3

With the sound off it's kinda cool I suppose.

Earthed series FTW

Chainspotting for me! But probably in the minority. Good soundtrack too.

Never really liked cycling fims until I watched Ride the Divide recently; my sort of riding, I dream of doing a long distance ride like that.

I also love a film called What it takes not strickly a cycling film - its about Ironman racing, but it inspires me to ride none the less.

Chainspotting is ace...I was well happy when I found out it was available on DVD. Takes me back to my early riding days, we used to watch that and Sprung all the time. So much so that the VHS tapes wore out.

I love Roam, more so than the other films by the Collective. Strength in Numbers is good too. I quite enjoyed Where the Trail Ends, but agree that the narrative is irritating. Even though there is some in the Collective films, somehow it's not too annoying.

The Earthed series were great, although I don't watch them all that much.

I think over all Roam & Seasons were definitive moments for me everything else up to LifeCycles was just copies of Roam and Season IMO

LifeCycles was another definitive moment for me, it brought back the ART IMO and something different the only issue I have with it and it is the ONLY issue was maybe too much ART and not enough riding but that's subjective I suppose.

Over all,
Roam
Season
LifeCycles

Are some of the best shot video/film work I've seen full stop 😀

Sprung 2 for me, it inspired a generation of potential shredders 🙂
I also like Home and Find for their lack of americanism, and good normalism! Have I just invented a word?

A Sunday in Hell

PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I must say I hate all the slo-mo films. Especially those that slo-mo half way through a trick.

Discussed with Mrs O last night and we came up with Chlorophilla.

Belleville Rendezvous is jolly good, though.

What about 'Find'. Great film... That section with Hans Rey, macAskill and Peaty in Scotland makes me wanna drive up there right now!
Otherwise 'Seasons gets my vote on the more mainstream options.

I watched vast and thought it extremely average and non inspiring and always go back to Roam and seasons and the Collective and for a change Follow Me is very good.

Cant believe no on has mentioned Dirt with Jason Mcroy

NWD10 is my favourite.

I must get round to watching that. I really enjoyed Reveal the Path.

After Home, it was like a pipe-bomb of disappointment. How do you make a segment with Rey, Peat and Macaskill and a helicopter and make it so damn [i]dull[/i]? The bit afterwards with them all pissed at the bridge inn was more interesting.

Dirt definitely inspired me back when I started riding, and JMC is sooooo smooth it's unreal. That S-Works M2 with Rockshox Mags and riser bars he rides is THE root of the hardcore hardtail. But it's otherwise a bit rubbish.

Chainspotting did have a stunning soundtrack, especially the Space Monkeys, Black Star Liner and Garbage 'Milk' remix.
