Holy F that looks good.
Well disregarding the fact that the rest of the video looks amazing...was that guy really about to do a front flip! Now I have to buy it.
sign me up
At 2:06? Yeah. Cam has 'em dialed. Wouldn't doubt if there was a combo thrown in there, too.
Front flips are commonplace now, I watched some movie last week and Cam did a front flip superman
NWD 10 maybe?
available through iTunes as well... interesting...
no blu-ray option?

I really think Anthill (formerly The collective) is the best group of riders/filmmakers/friends. They have a very special chemistry running among them, and to me, that, and having ACTUAL filmmakers in the crew is what has them one step ahead of the rest. The whole concept of riding with your friends is... well, I like it. After all, most of us go out to have a good time with our friends, enjoying what we have in common (bikes, nature, gnarly jumps, etc), and possibly discovering some other common interests...
Eat that, Kranked and NWD!!!

Yeah. Kurt Sorge also did that massive front flip in the desert.Front flips are commonplace now, I watched some movie last week and Cam did a front flip superman
Video looks absolutely sick!
Dude!!! The good stuff just never stops coming!
why no blu-ray?
Just signed up to see it here in NY.
Cost probably. Probably not as good of ROI as DVD.
I would LOVE a blu-ray copy. Hell, I'd even pony up some extra change for them to burn me a one-off. I have a 61" tv and dvd's look so-so on it.
I don't know got an email from Kidwithbike.

hahah christ.. I had a feelin' that was the case.
they are filming with one of the most expensive cameras out there. putting the video to standard def dvd is stupid.

Bar = raised again.
I love that turn that gets bombed around 1:35! Insane!
Agreed. If Life Cycles comes out standard def, that would be even worse.
1:38 is sick!
Exactly! I like the idea of a film based on the camaradarie between riders. It's refreshing to have a film that focuses on this and the beauty of the landscape we all ride in. I think this is something that a lot of other films have either lacked or overlooked completely and I think it's something that will set this film apart from all others. This sport of DH and FR that we all love... some have said that at a competitive level it is a singular sport of 1 individual against the clock - and I agree with this to a certain extent... but I must say it's the relationships you form through the sport and the friends you ride with that truely push the progression of the individual AND the sport. To see your favorite riders out there hanging out together and having a good time riding with each other - it reminds me of some of the early skate/snow boarding films of the early 90's... It's something everyone can relate to - just getting together with friends and ripping it up, trading stories, and enjoying the scenery.
The orchestral arrangements that are used instead of the usual metal/thrash/punk backing tracks are also a very refreshing and welcome deviation from the norm. The music really sets the mood for a film segment and nothing does this better than the proper orchestral piece. Imagine "Star Wars" or "Raiders of The Lost Ark" without the accompanying orchestral musical scores. In addition, the orchestral score gives the film a feel of legitimacy like that of a "regular" film you would see at the theatre.
The filming elements aren't anything new (aerial, zip line, "First person", etc.) - but the WAY they are being used in conjunction with the subject matter is refreshing.
The increased use of aerial footage in DH/FR films is something I've wanted to see for a long time. It's expensive, but the shots they generate are EPIC. From what I could tell I saw a decent mix of aerial, zip line, and "first person" footage being used - bonus for that too. The quick segment where the camera follows the 2 riders slashing berms in the dust - kind of gave things a "Days of Thunder" kind of feel. Very cool.
If I were to do a film - it would be exactly like this.

almost looked like N* there at about the 1:55 mark, probably a BC park though....cant wait to see this at Sea Otter!
Such a sweet trailer ...
And such a downer about the lack of blu-ray; using HD equipment like that then releasing standard def only is such a damned letdown

Now, that's what I wanted to say. Thanks for expressing it so clearly!
f ing cool
Thanks! I really dig a good DH film - it inspires.Ummmm, I have nothing more to add
No problem! You touched on something that I'd been thinking about for a while but hadn't really been able to put it into words myself until you mentioned it.
