What OLDER DH/FR videos inspired you?
- Thread starter brungeman
- Start date
The older NWD videos, mainly Cedric Gracia's sections. He had/has an awesome style. All the Earthed are good too.
Nico's section in NWD2 was badass. Yeah and Gracia for sure.
ride to the hills, and anything sprung
Kranked 3 really got me started in the freeride scene. It still is my favorite bike movie.
NWD 1 blew my mind when it came out. I remember going out and hucking everything I could find after watching it.
Run to the Hills. hands down, best mountain bike movie ever made.
NWD5 really got me stoked to ride big bikes again. (at the time I was just riding street/park)

Sprung
Chainsmoke.
Anything that had Lopes shirtless...
Transcontinental Headliners, any Sprung, any Earthed.
NSX II or III, I can't remember which, but it had a segment of Wade riding so smooth. I have not seen a rider as smooth or fluid since. That's what got me stoked on riding on bigger bikes, no doubt.
Bragging Rights. Made me want to kick out like Cully did on every imaginable hits. It's the only video a Litespeed Machette frame was ever featured too. That means a lot.
never ever gets tired of watching that clip. epitome of smooth and grace.
I agree 100%! It's a fukking classic for me, brings me back to the good old days. Good music, Palmer during the during the Intense years, Fuzzy's backyard and Libor Karas.
Tread.
Oh yeah and i forgot about the NSX movies. The trails they built just blew my mind back then.
Transcontinental and Chainsmoke(Palmer). Only reason there is still a VCR in my house.
Too many to just list one...
here is one of two boxes full of VHS I have at home

Hey Luc,
You should have watched that video in the bottom left corner BEFORE you shattered your heel.
Live and learn man, live and learn. : )

Quicksilver w/ Kevin Bacon! 
Chain Reaction 1 (with Jay Delegro saying that Plattekill is like a hit of acid...or something like that...)
Believe it or not - I did watch it before I imploded my hoof!
As much as I wish that accident had never happened, I tend to think these kind of things makes you stronger. Since that accident I keep getting more and more stoked on riding, which I cannot say the same before the accident. I liked riding before the accident, but after the accident is when riding pretty became my "raison d'être".
Wish I had a VHS to watch these vids again - or even digitalize them.
The Alpha Project?
That's it. I was about to go into the basement and start tearing through boxes to try and find it.
niiiiiiceanything that had lopes shirtless...
Probably NWD 5 got me into the extreme mtb spirit, and then Earthed 2 that made me want to go fast!
Lessee what I got in my little box here...

there's more somewhere around here. I guess if I rode as much as I watched movies, I might achieve mediocrity!

Kranked, ALL the Collective movies....and the new NWD.
I crashed in indoor 4X practice a few weeks ago. I broke my 4th and 5th metacarapals, hamite, and scaphoid. I'm out for another 3 weeks. It was overdue though, I haven't had a big injury in a while.what's up with your hand?
I got plenty of movies - I also have hundreds of MTB DVD's
