Default has any one watched the collective films

i've always seen these "the collective" films like Roam or Seasons but i have never watched them and i dont know anyone that has.

is it more like a documentary or is it like just full on just showing their trail rides like they do in youtube?

Ever watched a surf flick? A skateboard flick? It's like that, but for mountain biking. Not your typical ride vid, they're very well filmed and edited, have great music, and are very easy on the eye and inspiring. It's part documentary, part art, part inspiration. They show us what's possible and what we can strive towards... at least that's how I get. I get pumped up watching them and want to go and ride...

Yes, if there is one company to buy MTB films from, The Collective is the one.

I've seen The Collective, Roam, and Seasons (last night). They are great films. I think The Collective is my favorite of the three.

I've got "The Collective" and "Roam". Roam is my personal favorite. It makes me want to go ride every time I watch it. I got them both on Amazon for $27. Well worth it in my opinion.

that's whistler bike park, only the sickest, most awesome place on earth for biking. well, its the top 3 at least, but still amazing. Sadly, no bike parks right now in socal, but there are a few in the works, like Vail Lake, and somebody mentioned parks going on elsewhere as well

Very hight budget, well documented videos. I highly recomend The collective and roam. it puts mtbing and the life style in a good light. Awesome camera angles and music. Just my 2 cents.
