My wife watches these stupid friends re-runs non stop and I cant take it anymore. Please recommend a riding DVD so that I can put an end to this nonsense.

For reference, I have "Quick & Dirty" and "Kranked 5" and like them both....

Thanks!

Collective and Roam are both very well done and have a high re-watch value.

New World Disorder II has an awesome section with Nico Voillouz (sp?) in it. The Collective is good. Manifesto is so-so.

The "extras" section of Roam has a track called "Singletrack" that is awesome. The music and shots fit very well and make me want to ride. I watch it on the train, then hit the Forest Park trails on the way to work.

I just bought roam and the collective, they are definetly different than the chain reaction movies I've watched in the past. The photography is amazing, actually amazing is sort of an understatement.

All the Kranked series is awesome, the Red Bull Rampage Box Set is great, Drop In series on DVD is good too, because you can watch one episode at a time, Earthed (1,2 and 3), and I liked Hella Greasy a lot. But of course, ROAM and the Collective are probably my favs right now.

Earthed I, II and III. Great filming, great music.

i just snagged Earthed 2 the other week. the riding and filming blew me away. the music left something to be desired. so i mute and put on my own soundtrack. OH and its almost 90 minutes long. FTW!

My wife, like myself, grew up listing to a lot of punk, so she loves the Earthed series - awesome to watch riding to the Damned or WC races to the Jam!

I grew up (mid 80's) on the punk rock/hardcore scene in Boston, however the wife grew up in Miami dancing to Salsa and Merenge...

murphy's law baby! remember toxic narcotic? :love:
For better or worse, Murphy's Law is still together...playing in Albany on 10/27...I saw Toxic Narcotic in Providence in the mid 90's.....meeeh....

Just watched Earthed I again last night and I thought the Rezillo's "Top of the Pops" worked really well with the World Champ MTX scenes.

roam was over hyped badly i was pissed when it was done.. pick up a copy of mountain bike uk its got a free copy of anti-gravity...great vid
I didn't really like Anti-gravity. Seemed like Earthed 3 in slow-mo.

My reccomendations are the Earthed series, the Collective and Roam. And NWD 2 holds a special spot in my heart, also.
