The last two weeks, I've caught the last few minutes of Drop in on TV. It's WAY better than it used to be. I bought the Season 1 DVD collection when it came out, and just could not watch it. It was terrible. I gave it away. But this season is quite watchable.

They are on season 3 and they changed the format to be tv friendly. They also have a fairly high end cut man doing the major work. Supposedly changed a lot this season. Even released a movie of season 1 and 2 (maybe 3) but without all the social stuff, just the riding :)

i just watched dropin thismorning, sum of the stuff they did was completely insane. Most of the show was just shore stuff, at one point, one of the guys was 13 feet up on a skinny mabey 6inches wide, it was going up and he stalled out i really thought he was goin down, but instead he took his hands off the bars!!!!!!

this season is a definant(sp) must see

My buddy Ryan was on this past season, he is a ripper! They are really stepping up the production and trying to take Drop In global. I met the guys who make it at the rampage last year (2003) and they are really nice guys doing it for the love not the money. It's a great concept that hasn't quite caught on outside of CAN yet.

Ryan Schnepf? Haven't seen much of him except in season 2, and since he rides with Romaniuk then hes got the skills.

Calgary, Canada eh?
Jared got me into biking 4-5 years ago when he lived beside me, great guy actually. But I agree, the antics on season two were pretty lame. I just want to watch biking, not listen to thoughts about biking.

I like the lifestyle footage gives a reality show dealio to it. It's not meant to be a biking movie of straight footage its meant to be a biking lifestyle show and i like that about it how it shows people the lifestyle and what we love about this sport. Jared is pimp too hes funny as hell and his style is cool.
