Great DVDs!! I still watch them often (they're always on my iPhone). The cinematography and editing are phenomenal!

I also like the NWD (New World Disorder) videos from Freeride Entertainment, as well.

They're pretty much the best money can buy for FR videos. Great riders, beautiful scenery, cool stuff.

If you like DH racing, we've been watching the Earthed series, and they are good also, but not like the Collective & Roam.

[FONT=Arial]I by no means own every MTB movie, but I will say these two are the best from several standpoints. The locations and riders are amazing, and by far the cinematography beats anything I’ve seen.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]They are almost musts for your collection no matter how small.[/FONT]

I just pulled this clip from the Roam DVD and it has to be one of my all time favorites to get me amped up to go riding. If it doesn't pump you up, then you either don't ride or you're in a coma.

Click the pic to watch. Enjoy.

Bikes don't kill bunnies

I like Roam and the Collective. The Whistler sequence in Roam is hot, and I love the Romaniuk and Hunter segment in the Collective. Out of the NWD series, I think I like 5 the best but that's probably because of the opening sequence AC/DC cover band, and then the first segment with Cedric haulin arse.

These are no replacement for having a legit copy of the vid to really enjoy, but they are a good way to see what they are like before you lay down the $. These links were posted on the emptybeer forums a couple of days ago.

ROAM- http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...arch&plindex=2
NWD 6- http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...arch&plindex=0
NWD 3- http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...arch&plindex=1
NWD 7- http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...arch&plindex=2
The Collective Berecloth,Romaniuk,Hunter - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgPdadlWGeA

Bitchen way to kill the time when you can't get out and ride. My 22 month old daughter likes watching "bikes" with her Daddy and it's funnier than heck to watch her get down and dance to some of the soundtracks.

Default DVD's...

The hubby and I both love Roam and The Collective for the above stated reasons. I also enjoy Kranked 5- good mix of freeride, urban/trials, singletracks with beautiful cinematography and killer soundtrack.
