    Favorite bike DVD's?

    I didn't see much on a search. Any mandatory videos to consider?

    The Collective
    Its like The Continuum of bike vids.

    Roam is the sequel, its good but not as strong.


    The Earthed videos (1-4) are awesome but thats coming from a guy who races DH. They are basically World Cup DH and 4x racing interspersed with racers riding trails and flowy, rythym section dj footage. Best soundtracks in the biz IMHO. Very british too, which is always good for laughs.

    Elemental is a new one that is my new favorite. Its like a Collective/Earthed mash up. Great soundtrack.

    CKD is good.

    Look for my post on the Stund web series you can download them all.

    Havn't seen Stripped yet, but Tam Ford did a amazing job on the Stund stuff and I hear good things about Stripped.

    The original North Shore Extreme flicks are a classic.

    If you can only own one, make it "The Collective".

    Disclaimer: I have yet to see Elemental, which sounds very promising.

    That sounds like what I'm looking for. I also went to the Stund topic and only the last video is still active. Can someone get me to a working link? Must...see...more!

    I like the gravity racer videos way more than the freeride/vibe videos.

    Favorites:

    Earthed
    Earthed 2
    Earthed 3
    Synopsis
    Hypnosis
    Sprung 5

    Also have the Collective which I like in every way aside from the emo music in Matt Hunter & Steve Romaniuk's sections, and any song by the band Slackstring.

    I tend to favour the race flicks as well, so the Earthed series is a fav of mine. Earthed 2 and 3 are probably the best of the 4 in my opinion. Great soundtracks as well.

    Clay Porter's film are really good as well and his new one 'between the tape' looks like it could be a bit of a change in production from hypnosis and synopsis.

    Here's the teaser.

    That's funny. The only movie I know of these is Rad. Showing my age to some of these young pups I guess...younger than some, older than most.

    Rad changed my life.

    The riding in Kranked 6 is unreal, but the soundtrack was hurting. Oddly enough I just read that it won "best original score" at X Dance, the action sports film fest - Sundance spinoff. I have a feeling it was the only original score, or they wanted to give it to someone else besides Jack Johnson or something.

    Oh yeah, American Flyers is required watching for anyone who has ridden a road bike in Colorado.
