Clay Porter is a truly great director and cinematographer. He captures some amazing shots of insane riding skills. Biking in It's rawest form.

Overused slomos of roosting turns spoil what could have otherwise been an epic movie. Given the calibre of riders in this movie it's a shame that style over substance seems to be the order of the day. What a waste! Nico Vink, Sam Reynolds and of course Brendog's fail to shine as their bike handling skills are lost in a never ending series of slomo roost shots! Highlights are midway through when Brendog hooks up with Bryceland to shred Schmalding and fortunately for brief moments their excitement and personalities shine through as you hear snippets of their banter on the way down. Also a great section with Semenuk at the end however campared to recent films like Unreal or Rad Company this really fails to hit the mark

I suppose if mountain biking is your life, you might find this interesting. The footage was pretty amazing, and the skill level is too. But, that is all there is. It is over an hour of adolescent idol worship.
