Roam will be an evolution of those skills honed over the past two seasons. Roam will help create the next standard in mountain bike and adventure sports films.
Strengths: A variety of segments focusing on a wide variety of riding styles. Amazing cinematography, lots of cable shots, great high speed footage, nice helmet cam shots. Superb sound track.
Bottom Line:
I am shocked that this isn't the most purchased video on the listing. Outstanding video, if you don't believe me check out a few of the segments on YouTube. Best footage is the Whistler segment, best sound track is the Sun Valley segment.
Similar Products Used: Have all the collective DVDs.

Strengths: Everything from the quality of the video, to the music to the riders to the narrative!

Bottom Line:

Strengths: this is an absolutly amazing video.. aww inspiering, beautiful scenery, makes you want to head to the forest..and the north shore....ROAD TRIP
Weaknesses: not many, but it is short..so I put it on shop loop, and just watch it a few times..
Bottom Line:
