Strengths:
Awesome video! A break from the typical high-budget freeride video. Music is not the best, but at least it doesnt make you want to throw up. If youre from colorado get this video. Much of the action is in colorado. The length is very long, much longer than the Circus.
Weaknesses:
None
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
Surly Instigator
Bottom Line:
If you are into downhill mountain biking and appreciate small budget films, get this one.

Strengths:
Covers downhill racing
Weaknesses:
Bad soundtrack Sketchy camera work Freeriding shown is lame
Similar Products Used:
The Circus, NSX I-IV, Kranked I-III, Ride to the Hills, Sprung 4,.....
Bottom Line:
If you're looking for an inspirational DH vid, The Circus is much better - better music, better camera work, more interesting locations. The soundtrack on this sucks, too - kind of "Deliverance" meets garage band. Really irritating, doesn't complement the visual.
The freeriding is also lame compared to videos dedicated to the discipline, so including it is a total waste of time.
Overall, I wasn't very pleased with this flick.
