awesome soundtrack | | Weaknesses: | chris holmes needs a shirt | | Similar Products Used: | kranked 2, north shore extreme 3 | | Bike Setup: | kona chute, Z3-qr-20, mammoths with kujo's | | Bottom Line: | slick video, i love watching it, i watch it once a week. The best thing is to watch it before you go riding, you get all stoked and do stupid stuff, it's so fun. The only part i hate about this video is the part on chris holmes, its to long and he needs to put a shirt on, i am not saying he isn't a good rider, but it is to long. This is a cool video, go out and buy it, or get NSX 3, it is even sicker. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

none | | Bottom Line: | The stunts/riding in this film are so risky that they are difficult to watch. These riders must all be frequent fliers at the local ER. The only problem with watching this film is that it has reduced my local tough trails to romper room status. The filming/sound is low budget. These guys should get some better cameras and produce a higher quality documentation of what they do. Some good slow motion shots would be great. If you want to see some amazing gut wrenching stunts and bone crushing falls, this video is a must buy highly recommend this | | Overall Rating: |

More polished & profesional than NSX.
Even more of the wild trails. More footage of Kira ( she mightn't be QUITE as far over the edge as Wade or Richey, but she's MUCH cuter). | | Weaknesses: |
More staged than NSX, for me at least the unicycle segment was too long. | | Similar Products Used: |
NSX
Chainsmoke
etc | | Bottom Line: | Like NSX, it just makes us deparved, I mean deprived, people NOT in Vancouver jealous, the incredible scenery & riding REALLY makes me want to save up (and get another year or two of serious trial training under my belt) and get over there to ride those trails. I take my hat (helmet?) off to you guys, and hope to ride with some of you one day. NB. As for it being only available to locals, anyone who can get on the web can get it through KOTS ( I did ). | | Overall Rating: |

All i need to say is that i've watched it thrity+ times, know every stunt before it happens, know the lyrics of the whole soundtrack, (love the harpoons -beef), and could even recite the limited dialogue ('there goes the mango). One trip down ladies only, pink starfish or worse and only then do you really appreciate how demanding and insane the trails are. | | Bottom Line: | five screamin chilli peppers - to go with my tacos (as in rims) | | Overall Rating: |

This is BY FAR the best bike vid. ever! Seriously, you are being mean to yourself by not buying this, even if you aren't ever going to ride stuff like this, watching it still gets you pumped to ride. After all the videos it took a Canadian to get it right! Long live CANADA! | | Overall Rating: |

This videos a classic! Quite an improvement over NSX vol1, wicked riding, great trails, the best real MTB video so far. Let's hope it causes other video makers to up the ante. Hmm, judging by the rest of the reviews this video only seems to be available in Canada, well to all of you in other countries who can't get it, HA HA! | | Overall Rating: |

This video Kicks. We constantly watch this video at the shop, and it gets everyone just pumped about riding. Hey cymbol, this is real riding, not just sponsored riders that ride down sand hills like in kranked. Leave sandboxes to the first graders. This is real riders on the most insane terrain in the mountain bike world most of the guys in this vidoe should be sponsored, I say more technical feats in this video than in all other videos combined, Long live the BC west coast | | Overall Rating: |

Huge improvement over the first NSX1 (but really the filming and music
couldn't get much worse). The elevated boardwalk scenes get tired, I mean
lets face it you can ride a sidewalk if its 6 inches or 10 feet in the
air, but the rest of the video styles. I've ridden most of the trails
in the video and the camera work really doesn't show how sick some of
the drops are.
It sounds to me like Cymbol doesn't have big enough nuts to ride anywhere
but to the nearest starbucks.
Hey rocket boy are you getting a cut from every copy sold. I think you
missed a spot when you were licking Diggers boots. | | Overall Rating: |

This is a garbage video with a super low budget soundtrack.
You need to get some real riders that just don't chuck themselves of every cliff that they see.
Try to compare the joeys in this video to superstars like Wade in Kranked.
Now thats real riding oposed to throwing yourself of a stupid cliff with an uphill landing.

Oh so sweet. The riders are amazing and the trails are incredible. I like the low budget feel to the vids - makes you feel as if you were there (I wish I was). I feel this one was better than the first. Good to see some of the riders names. I agree with rocket boy - a stamp for digger! | | Overall Rating: |

This video is got to be the sweetest video around. It is just nuts. The teeter toter 10 foot trops, steeps and logs are the knarliast stuff I have ever seen. The video is about 40 minutes long and has night riding, snow riding, and just plain extreme riding. It has everthing in it. If you cant get it down in the states then just come up to good old vancouver and get it because it is just sweet!!!! THe guys who ride the trails are nuts. Thank you very much!!Better than NSX number 1. | | Overall Rating: |

For a low budget video this kick a@#!!!! and the best part is you don't have to watch endless setup shots of sand riding in Kamloops!!!!!!!Digger should have a monument made to him (or atleast have a postal stamp with his likness on it).I know that the riding here in Vancouver has been getting some attention lately, but there is a reason for that. Digger has spent as much time on building and maintaining trails on the Shore as most people do in their professional career jobs (I'm not kidding). The riding here has to be seen to be believed, even though this vid' kick's, it still dosn't show you how knarly it is in real life.A challenge to ALL riders in the WORLD, and people in the cycling industry!!!
contact Digger and come here to see it for your self, I promise it will be the best experience of you'r life!!!! Please support Digger and his mind blowing vid's
Later!!!!!!!!! | | Overall Rating: |

This video is the best that I have ever seen.
It is so hard to do the trails justice, but this vedeo does it.
The best thing about it is that the whole video is unstaged, just out for a weekend ride.
I was blown away by the technical abilities of the riders!
I cant wait for number three if he makes one.

This video kicks ass! I really liked the first one but this one is even better. Alot more of the stunts are clean. The camera work is more refined (I didn't like the choppy sequences in the first one). The skills that these artists of the Shore display is amazing to say the least. I was in total awe watching the way they handled their bikes. This is a definite must have in your video library. To all the artists of the Shore, OUTSTANDING!! And to Digger Productions, keep cranking 'em out! | | Overall Rating: |

This new video isn't actually out yet, but digger has been getting it set up for some time now and he says it should be out within the next month.
If you've seen volume 1, and you liked it, this one is gonna knock you right over!!! I've heard of some of the stuff that's in it and it's way gnarlier than kranked , and it's purely shore riding which kicks even more ass, it's supposed to be 55 minutes long which is double volume one or kranked, the only problem is that it's gonna cost more but it's gonna be so worth it, I can't wait for it to come out! | | Overall Rating: |
