I'd have to give it to the first New World Disorder. It definatly had AWE value. No matter what you think of Bender, when I first saw him do that drop, I was speachless. Then the Cowan DJ section was really good, the Dude on the unicycle was nuts, the section with Robbie Bordon got us all building skinny stuff, and the last guy doing manuals at 70 mph was insane. Back then, it was really pushing the envelope. It's got my vote for best video. A close second was the original SHIFT however.
Thoughts...Most influencial Mountain Bike Video Thus far?

IMO Down fits right in there too......(may not be the best movie, but very influential nontheless...)
for me Down really introduced hardcore freeriding into my life.......

Chain Reaction 5 - (or really any of the series) I ride alot more than urban / park, but the innovation shown by the likes of Chase, Lenoski, and the rest never fails to inspire me - whether I'm riding park or singletrack.
My second vote would go to "Tread" - the first feature length MTB video, with H-Ball and Rey. It's nothing by today's standards, but is supercool in a retro kind of way (now - at the time, it was incredible)
The Collective is definitely the coolest though.

First of all, that is amazing in and of itself. I've seen your pics and vids, and only WISH I could ride at your level after the 15 years of riding I have been doing...not all of them FR/DH, of course.zachdank said:
I have to agree, the Wade Simmons huck over the Marz truck convinced me to get my first FRbike...he's just soooo smooooth...him and Schley. NWD3 is still my favorite of all of the movies. The Collective runs a close second.zachdank said:the first movie i had ever seen was dissorder 3. when i saw wade gap over the big black truck i knew i would be hucking my meat gnarcore.

I get a kick out of watching Bender and Simmons drop that same line - Bender with 14" (?) - Simmons with 7". Nothing against Bender, but it's crazy to watch him ragdoll down the tranny while Wade looks like he doesn't even bottom his travel.DownHillFast said:

Yeah, nothing against Bender cuz I totally respect him for his balls and his devotion to the sport but I don't think he's the most talented rider. It seems like he crashes way too often.s1ngletrack said:
Wade did make that look smooth but he hit it absolutely perfect. Wade is my favorite rider but I bet it would take him quite a few tries to hit it that smooth again.

I'm going with NWD3. The collective is a good video and definately a pleasure to watch because of the cinamatography and music. Even my non-riding buddies like to watch it, but its not as gnarcore as NWD3.
Hmmm, art wise, Collective takes it, but no one has tried to be that way with it yet so we'll see.
Influentail, after watching Double Down I took my enduro and dropped of a picnic shelter to flat with my '01 Enduro(Ouch!). So that is what got me going.
My other favorite it Ride To The Hill, the video was awesome, can't believe no one has mentioned it yet.

The Collective is my favorite mt bike movie that I've seen thus far. I just watched it with a friend who is getting into mountain biking this last weekend.
I may have to pick up Earthed, I've heard a lot of good things about it. And Bender is notorious for doing huge drops that usually end up in crashes. He probablly crashes more then most other freeriders because he is pushing the envelope on how big he can go. All of the freeriders crash, Bender just has like 2 or 3 really gnarly ones that everyone knows him for. I remember seeing him eat it gapping this drop section that ends up in him slamming onto a paved road and then that like 70 footer on Real TV a few years ago. This was before I knew there was more mtb'ing then just xc, so that kind of opened my eyes to the other side back in my bmx days.
