Help out mountain biking; get them both. That's what I'm planning to do. Earthed 3 for the World Cup footage and Hypnosis for the local footage...

I didnt know it was a competition???? They are both filmakers, hardley competitors. Get both, Its a bonus to have 2racer style vids to buy. Better than having only one all year isnt it? I mean you guys are riding $3 - $5000 bikes and cant cough up enough dough for two dvds that will outlast your bikes???

Yeah, they are both equally good. I think Clay's filming quality is a little bit lower than Rankin's, but he makes up for it with the interviews. I liked Synopsis because of the local footage, local riders, and focus on North America. And I like the Earthed series because it gives me a chance to see the European style courses/riding that I will probably never experience in person. I'll be purchasing both!

Synopsis was like the NWD of downhill vids IMO. Crystal clear shots, not-so-great music, and alittle more slow motion shots. I liked it alot, its the type of video you'd show a non-DH'er friend to "wow" them with our sport. However, if i were sit down at any given moment and choose a movie, it'd be of the earth series. The footage might not be as clear, but theres more DH, less 4x, and lots of exotic locations. Just my .02 cents, i'll be buying both.

I liked both, except for the fact that synopsis was digital, the pics might have been a little crisper, but when there was any panning it seemed like the digicam couldn't keep up, making the background choppy. other than that, both great vids.

I have only seen the first earthed and synopsis, and I love them both. Out of the two, I thought the rider insights that were sprinkled through Synopsis gave it a bit of an edge. I like that sort of stuff.

I plan on getting Earthed 2 and 3, as well as Hypnosis.

Hmmm, Synopsis was a piece of s*)t. The music was crap, the editing was sloppy, and the overall footage was weak. Earthed2 had some old british punk and some watered down hip-hop, precise editing(eventhough they could've helped us americans out w/ subtitles every once in a while), and the best footage we could ask for in regards to downhill racing. I guess it's all about what you like and if you don't sit in the middle of a specific demographic, then you will not be pleased one way or the other. Douchebags enjoy being douchebags and love douching. Douche, douche, douche.
