A friend of mine is doing a fundraiser for his local bike club and wants to show one or two riding movies (like full, feature length movies).

Suggestions on new stuff, or your favorites?

where the trails are
I just saw "won't back down", the story of Steve Peat's career. It was awesome. Great story that I think can relate to anybody, not just fans of bike porn.

If he has a high quality projector "Where the trail ends" has amazing footage quality on the blu ray version. Life cycles is also good for people who are not part of the scene.

Life Cycles sucks, that will have people walking out.

Yeah Seasons is my all time fav, Life Cycles has three seconds of riding to every seven seconds of arty crap.

I've seen nothing worthwhile since the Earthed movies. Everything is way too artsy or too much of a documentary. Bring back the days of nothing but riding and no slow-mo.

Arrival is prob my fav of the latest movies that are out... Yeah agreed, "Where the trail ends" sucks as a movie, quality is great, but that's about it..

you'd think with the size of a budget and equipment capabilities that comes with red bull that the end result would have been better. it was a cool concept, just fell short on what it delivered.

I was expecting "The Art of Flight" for MTB when i saw the intro, but got NWD12, with less hucks to flat.

I thought notbad was good. The headcam stuff at the bikepark was awesome

Plus, short for the less bike-inclined.

Thanks guys. I enjoyed Life Cycles but I agree, it may not hold peoples' interest.

Appreciate the suggestions - I sent 'em along!
