Strengths: No blaring music video type trick reels, this is true and good instruction from pros. One of the coolest parts is in the extras: "Bike Set up" Not only does this teach you how to ride, but it shows a full build, step by step.
Weaknesses: could have had more on choosing a bike and what all the components are and differing quality levels.
Bottom Line:
Great vid, most of the parts are on youtube (search for [MTB] Fundamentals)
Strengths: A great tool for learning more about how to make the most of the trails uses pro riders who know how to get the job done split into sections
Weaknesses: Could have been improved by using a couple of slowmo sections
Bottom Line:
A must watch DVD and great to see Legends such as Mr S Peat giving advice on how to improve your riding and TF tuning explaining setup and what "wont put you in hospital"
