there better be a chris akrigg section or ima be pissed
earthed 5, god damn!!
- Thread starter dhkid
- Start date
E5 rocks. The music and editing is diffrent, but good. Matter of taste anyway.
The Champey section says alot about how demanding these tracks are. For those of you that's ridden the track, knows what I mean. It brings your confidense straigth down to ground level. I've never feelt so poor on my bike ever before, haha.
Enjoy the Earthed series, they're all superb.

Had to get used to the music, but it's kind of nice that'Rankin doesn't use the cliche music. Besides that, what can we say... it's sweet!
It said "In Stock", so I ordered a copy...this online store has good quick service too.

Best Earthed yet!
Sam Hill Section-Almost every big right turn Sam puts his inside (rt) foot down, whilst he never puts a foot down while turning left! He seems to turn way better to the left as well, I guess because he is left foot forward?

we have a few in our shop.. i got a copy, awesome movie, pretty damn long w/ all the extra's goes on foreeevvveerr.. music not as wierd as earthed 4, good stuff i think.
At long last, I finally got to see it this evening (still awaiting my copy, though)...worth waiting for without a doubt. I like the part where they were interviewing the guy that set the Champery course up and the subsequent interviews with riders. It's amazing how that one section made everybody seem "normal".
I ordered one too. Awesome!!!
Yeah, it seemed shorter to me for sure. I was a little bummed to see the lack of a hardtail section and less dirt jumping than usual. It is a really good film, but when I watched it the first time I thought my disc was messing up with the editing right at the beginning of each section. Hill kills it
Just got my 20 pesos copy hehe.
Well the music is not as good as earthed 2 (my fauvorite earthed so far) but Adam Bryton segment is very sick, and the part where he uses that steep section of hill as a berm is insane. The second section with the two brithish juniors and Bernat Guardia are bit boring.
The extras are very good mostly Maribor.
No too much cedric, kovarik and nico vink for my taste. I wanted to see more vouilloz riding too.

earthed 3 was WAY better.
not enough slow motion in earthed 5.
It doesn't seem to have the fun attitude of the other films imo. Amazing riding and cool angles/ interviews, especially Sam Hill after Champery... The music not exactly a bro-down but it works and suits most of the tracks or riders styles. All in all an excellent vid.
The only real "beef" I have with the movie is the editing with some of the interviews...drop the level of the music when you want us to hear what some of these guys are saying. It's hard enough to follow their dialect as-is.
Better yet...sub-titles.
I guess you can't ask for too much since the season ended just about 2-3 months ago. I'm sure the Clay Porter release will have some Nico footage. It had better!!!

I enjoyed the World Cup footage by far, didn't think Bryceland/Cunningham needed 2 parts but whatever. I liked most of the music, but I agree...when the riders are talking turn down the music or just don't show them talking at all.
I just watched Earthed 5 for the first time and man, it gives you an insight into what an animal Sam Hill is! Great Flick!!!
Read his interview in Dirt, talks about how calculating he is, sounds sorta like Vouliouz
Great riding only to be marred by nothing short of horrendous music as usual.....how the F*CK does that crap go with aggressive riding at all??? If Alex Rankin were in front of me I'd kick him in the balls for that.
i could not possibly agree with you any less. Of course musical preference, like ones taste in food, clothes, women (or men), and beer is of a personal nature. some like their riding with screaming and some don't, clearly Rankin prefers the latter.
I loved the soundtrack. it lets the riding 'speak' for itself.
that would probably explain why some Americans have been commenting on it for a few weeks now
It involved plenty of screaming and piss-poor "singing". He obviously prefers total crap. The movies are universally more enjoyable when played on mute.
Who watches these flicks for the music anyway? I'm too busy watching action to even realize what my ears are hearing. Keep in mind that Dirt is based out of the UK, where they are a little more diverse in their musical tastes (or lack thereof at times).
pretty crazy how sam hill doesn't ever turn his bars.....he either just goes dead straight no matter how gnar the line required, or he leans......insane
we were watching it again last night, the music fits with the riding and editing perfectly, it's top notch......but I digress, sam, there's one track, or a lot of them I guess, but in his whole segment at this race, in every clip, I'm pretty sure he didn't pedal once until the last clip where he was coming across the finish line, incredible really.....
probably maribor... that track was awesome
about 10 feet of pedaling out of the gate, 10 feet after the rock garden, and 10 feet at the finish
that course was all about "flow" and speed
Man, I'm behind the curve. I gotta get Earthed 5, ASAP!! I have Earthed 1 thru 4, love them all.
hey tim,
sam's quebec part is split between trails at bromont and st. anne... the first half of his segment is all st. anne and the trails look rad. road trip this summer ?
Yeah a few years ago a guy snapped his chain out of the gate and took third
completely different course.
oh, sorry
Seems Earthed 5 is gonna be the last in the series. Kinda like how Sprung 5 was the last in that series. So i suppose we can expect something slightly differnet from Rankin next time.
Damn, well hopefully I'll get to see some coverage somewhere. Plus I'll be there so it's not all bad I guess. I like the way he covers the world cups, it's great to see the events that we otherwise wouldn't ever see. I rememeber when I used to be able to watch the world cup on RDS (local sports station) not anymore
If Eurosport brings back WC action, chances are you will once again be able to see them on RDS.Damn, well hopefully I'll get to see some coverage somewhere.
