Green River, Utah is a modern day ghost town, its quiet streets and empty buildings swallowed up by the desert stretching out in all directions; nothing is “near” to here. It just so happens that this desert holds the mother lode for freeriding terrain. And while only a handful of riders have the vision, skill and nerves to ride in this foreboding landscape, what they accomplish here constantly reshapes the face of mountain biking as we know it.

You know Kenny if you own what you are putting on youtube you can make money from it. It may not be as much as the dvd is bringing but they still get paid for this.
I'll probably get neg proped for this, but I don't really like Ryan Howard's opinion about freeride. I feel like hes always trying to make it seem all big and scary and dangerous. It certainly is, and I completely agree with him, I certainly would hurt myself trying to do that stuff, but I feel like he doesn't need to always be talking about that whenever he's interviewed. I just feel like hes trying to prove something that we all already know. Ya know?
Whatever man, R-dogg is a f*cking boss!! They put enough filler commentary segments into bike movies these days anyway, what else would you like him to say? "I had a great night sleep last night and I ate 2 bowls of captain crunch this morning..."
2 things that don't get old : big mountain freeriding and Rage Against the Machine. Unlike slow-mo's of people doing cutties in berms with dirt chucked on for effect to some kind of dubstep that sounds like optimus prime falling down the stairs carrying a keyboard.
Bulls On Parade was on Steve Pea'ts segment in Seasons. Seems like the Anthill/Collective guys like to put Rise Against and Rage Against The Machine in their movies and I can't blame them.
I know I sound bitter and twisted when I say this but don't release a movie, let a bunch of people buy it then hand it out free in parts. I can truly say I am not buying another anthill film until I've watched it all free online first. Bad move making the consumer feel stupid for buying your film.
I hope the next time they make a movie they don't just make it available on iTunes... I paid for and downloaded the full HD movie only to find out that because I'm not an 'iFreak' I can't play the movie on my Windows based machine... Con !!
Contacted the company and I was offered a little sympathy but that was it, no solution, no refund, no Fukc all !!
Although Aggy's hugely involved in it, he's not really pushing the freeride scene like he said, as such. Vanderham on the other hand was doing exactly this 10yrs ago in Virgin. He was an originator.
