Has anyone seen it yet? I downloaded it off of iTunes this morning and I am very impressed. Best NWD of the series.
Nwd 10
- Thread starter Bigdroptoflat
- Start date
Agreed. Best one by far.
Amazing filming and riders.

watching it now from Itunes.
i wish it had the extra features like the dvd probably has

Not to mention there was no attempt at a lousy side-plot like years past. The riding and filming pretty much spoke for itself.
Yea that "death race" that they showed once or twice thru-out the movie was pretty bad. But I am going to download it soon. I wish they would do this with more DH films. Paying 40 dollars for a movie is not cool.
itunes, or payed down loads is the way to go in sooo many ways
Seriously? The best so far? For me it looked like they put all their creativeness into the hellbarge and took less care about the rest. Some parts were really weak like the Watts part that was basicaly a drop and a a single dirtjump(WTF the guy got mad skills and all we get is his training track?). Gees wasn't as impressive and it was filmed in much less places (basicaly half of it in highland and half of it in Utah) with some extra parts. I'm quite dissapointed with this one though I liked some parts (Voreis, Barge, Mccaul) though I think the 9th NWD and the 8th kranked were much better.
Also - why so many heli shots? It's soooo 2003.

Agreed. I enjoyed it, great cinematography, but was not blown away. For me Vories stole the show. As usual, I found myself wishing for more trail riding and a bit less dirt jumping. Call me sentimental, but I would have been happy to see an old school ripper segment featuring some of the classic guys like Wade/Richie, just since it was the last movie. I thought the whole thing peaked around NWD 5/6...but that is probably because that is when they moved more and more toward slopestyle and DJ after that.

I thought it was pretty cool - I dug the piece with Chase where they had the "floating" fun box...
Really? I thought it was ****.
Different folks I guess...

Mixed bag for me. WAY too much dirt jumping IMO. If I want to see that I'll watch a BMX video. When they jump it just looks better... Saying that, I'm also bummed they didn't get some footage of all the past stars like Watson, Schley, Simmons, Vanderham ect. If it's the last one, why not?
Every ones a critic eh?
I did like it though. I'm really looking forward to "Follow me" and "Life cycle" now!

the soundtrack is awesome
Loved it with the exception of Gee's part. Looked pretty half assed, the rest was great.
Actualy I had nothing about DJing as there was really less than most of us think (unless we call doing big gaps and drops with tricks djing but that just silly). I think if the Chase part was longer it'd be pretty cool as he has mad skills. I don't know feel the same sentiment for the old nwd's having rewatched some of them recently.
the beginning was good till the first dirt jumpers were shown. music was good. but think what they could have done with this probably big budget. i'm still dreaming of a "thats it thats all" with bikes...
I'm still super angry at myself for not seeing it in the cinema. About nwd - I doubt they'll have the same amount of money and as long as they are doing it yearly like the NWD team does the time pressure kinda limits them. I really hope the Anthill guys will come up with sth great.
kirt vories stole the show. other than that, not enuff pinning IMHO
It was the last one,
All of you guys complaining about too much dirt jumping don't seem to get the big picture. If you can make a movie that fits all or most aspects of gravity influenced mountain biking then doesn't that make for a well rounded film that is going to please most people? Of course the people that don't like dirt jumping aren't going to think its a good movie if there is alot of dirt jumping in it or vice versa with freeriding and downhill but aren't you being a little closed minded then?
Being someone that does most of the types of riding represented in this film I really enjoyed the mixture of riding styles.

Anybody else have any thoughts about the quality through itunes?? I downloaded it and it seems like the quality is only as good as most internet downloads, and it seems the vocals are usually off a bit with the sound.
I actually enjoyed nwd10.. I'm surprised nobody commented on Berrecloth's segment.. I thought he stepped his game up, backflips, some of the sickest turndowns I've seen on 26" wheels, and his signature 360s off massive drops.. I gotta watch Voreis's segment again.. I was distracted. Hell Barge segment was awesome.. Gee's segment was a cool, but a bit disappointing, mainly due to the trails he was riding not being all the exciting to watch.
hm red camera + lots of heli shots + the hell barge smells like a lot of money...
That's what I was thinking when I was watching it
Though I must say I rewatched half of it and I think I still like it, I simply expected more as I was promiced more and apparently the more part was the barge and heli shots (which I don't really like because in some cases it gave you the feeling of being far away from what's going on the screen - ie. Gee's segment).good points, but in my experience the more one tries to please everyone, the weaker the product. just imagine if a gravity vid maker decides to try to appeal to all cyclists and adds XC, road, cyclocross, velodrome, keirin. pretty soon you find your audience is tiny, except for novelty viewing.
I think the best stuff is done by those who do what they love, regardless of how many people may buy the DVD. people dig quality more than they dig broad-based appeal, I think. the sellability of race-only videos shows there's no need to go broad-spectrum.
for as long as I can remember Derek Westerlund's worked his movies like high-budget big mountain skiing / snowboarding movies... helicopters, fireworks, big debut celebration. he has a big enough budget in mind that he can try to please a lot of different disciplines.
personally I like niche movies. I'd rather watch a pure freeride/slopestyle and a pure DH/4x separately, instead of something that gives each niche a half-arsed treatment.
Novice question, but how did you find it on i tunes. Did you all just do a search? I tried that and nothing came up. Thanks.
its under tv shows

check under the video for link
Kurt Sorge is a guy who doesn't get enought credit in this sport. His segment had a little of everything with a serious emphasis on some big mountain gnar. He always seems to fly under the radar in vids but his part really stood out to me. The kid is sick. Well done.
Damn good closure to the NWD series
I agree. That huge front flip he did was sick! As was the no footed can off that massive drop.
