    Duration Product Used:
    1 Year
    Strengths:
    Utterly brilliant idea - take a handful of the UK's best riders and a film crew, then film them doing their stuff. All the riders do some wicked riding, but top marks go to the trials supremos Ashton and Hawyes. Great camera work, too.
    Weaknesses:
    The ridiculous dream sequence.
    Similar Products Used:
    Dirty Tricks & Cunning Stunts, Getta Grip, Dirt, Tread, Retread
    Bottom Line:The best MTB video I've seen bar none. Showcases some of our best riders doing some of the sickest riding you'll see, shot with style and a soundtrack with attitude. If you ride MTBs you need to see this video.

    Duration Product Used:
    6 months
    Strengths:
    Wow what can I say? Stunning music and even more stunning antics from that man Titley. All my favourite riders doing what they do best. My favourite bit is where warner does this hoooj jump out of a bomb hole on his ATX-990 and gets well big air. Good trials from the Martins too.
    Weaknesses:
    Although the bird is fit, there is no need to have that bit where they are supposed to be asleep. I reckon its the producers just trying to show off what they can do.
    Similar Products Used:
    Mudcows, Burning Calves, Pulp Traction, mountain bike Britain 1 + 2, MBUK Dirt, MBR Crashes, Full Power Trip
    Bike Setup:
    VCR hooked into TV...
    Bottom Line:Absolutely stunning music and cool stunts etc.. if you are a proper biker buy this vid.

    Bottom Line:A stunning vid. Beautifully shot, well edited and with a cool soundtrack, this has to be *the* definitive UK MTB video. All the riders show off their awesome talents Martyn Ashton steals the show, hands down.

    Bottom Line:

    Well, after watching the newer Chilli release Dirty Tricks and Cunning Stunts (and loving it) we went out and bought Chainspotting - what can I say? Just as good (better in ways!). Again, great riding, great soundtrack and great stacks (Martyn: Aw, my f$%#ing chain broke! - classic!).The combination of Warner, Hawes, Ashton, Titley, Peat et al should never EVER be allowed again! (I don't think society could take it!)But remember kids - don't do this at home, do it at a friends place!5 steaming hot jalapenos - want to give more for Titley's antics!

    Bottom Line:

    This video is awesome, cool riders doing cool tricks with even cooler music in the background. If you are a true mountainbiker you must go and see this video because if you haven't seen it then you don't know what mountainbuking is all about

    Date Reviewed: February 28, 1999
    Bottom Line:

    chainspotting is easily the best mountain bike video.I've seen The soundtrack is excellent -Black star liner, Orbital, Death in Vegas, Garbage, etc..
    The camera work is also generally of a much better standard than many other mtb vids. It is really good to see the emphasis on the English mountain biking scene instead of the same old American stuff.
