Lots have seen the movie. It premiered at Sea Otter and has been showing in breweries and theaters all over since then

That being said, we have yet to see it. So I'm ordering my copy!!

i'd say the other two were better... it would be really hard to top them.

Too much interviews and not enough riding! just my 2 yen. The riding portion was awesome, but just not enough of it.

I saw it and it seemed kinda short. First bike film I had seen. There was a good amount of interviews in it. Had the same feel as a lot of the more artistic surf films I watch but it seemed shorter then most of them. With that said it was still enjoyable.

I was looking to find the other two and came across them on amazon they even had a three pack with all three films for $60. I am thinking I might order that.

Good deal. Most bike films are about 30-40 mins I think.

Longer would be something like Off-Road to Athens.

I would guess it was right about an hour long.

If the interviews were of little better quality...... Unfortunately, some of the riders are not the brightest bulb.... I'm surprised that they let some of them speak. Good action though!

That's decent length, then! The others may have been around 47 mins?

I think Cranked 7 (Cackle Factor) was around 35, but I don't remember exactly.

Yeah my first thought when one of the guys was speaking was wow he has hit his head crashing one to many times. The rest of the riders did a pretty good job.

Not nearly as good as The Collective and Roam. I liked the interviews and I liked seeing the training aspect of the riders lives, but it wasn't all that.

There is one series where 5 or 6 riders are going down A-line one after another throwing crazy tricks. That was amazing, but it was only about 3 minutes of a 1 hour film. I am glad I saw it, but also glad I didn't have to pay for it.

Agreed 100% I'm not sure if this will be one we add to our collection

I figured something wasn't as good about it since there was a tangible lack of enthusiasm about it on the board!!

I did like it a lot, I haven't seen ROAM but only short parts on You Tube and it seems to be better, no matter what I hope The Collective sets a standard on cinematography on mountain biking flicks.
