Life Cycles Breaks New Ground in Action Sports Films
Why all the negative comments guys. It's understandable if you don't like Life Cycles but what you have to understand is it's movies like Life Cycles that helps mountain biking gain mainstream exceptance. Which ultimately could lead to bigger sponsors and more bikeparks. You my not like Life Cycles but it is good for all of us when a mountain bike movie does good at something like this. I noticed on their facebook that ESPN had a little write up about them.

Life Cycles Breaks New Ground in Action Sports Films
The Collective Won Best Cinematography and Roam won Best Director at X Dance but no Mountain Bike film has ever won Best Film and Life Cycles won all 3 of those awards with one movie. Follow Me was also at X Dance also but I didn't see them walking away with any awards so I guess the rest of the Action Sport world disagrees with rmueller and thinks Life Cycles is better. Props to Life Cycles for gaining respect for mountain bikers from the rest of the action sports community. I do like The Collective films but Life Cycles has done something those couldn't.

Life Cycles - More Tour Dates! (and DVD Update)
Do you want the know what boring is. "Follow Me", I stopped watching the movie half way through cause it was the same old s*%t getting repeated over and over again. You are talking about Life Cycles having a B&W section well from what I gather at least their's made sense why it's B&W. In Follow Me what was up with the B&W and leaving their T-shirts colored? Being a "film guy" you should know that's been lame since about 1999 to 2000. The only section worth anything is NZ in that movie. Action sport films in general have gotten stale, I haven't been able to make it through a ski film in about 3 years now. Give it up buddy, you don't have a leg a stand on. It's ok to say you don't like something but to accuse the rest of us as not being in the know. Get off your high horse buddy, your only 19 you pretty much know Jack. PS get your facts straight. It only took them 2 years the shot the movie and another 8 months in post production. The other time was spent doing other things and fund raising.

Life Cycles - More Tour Dates! (and DVD Update)
commentpolice, it's ok to be wrong sometimes. I notice from your other responses that you like to throw out numbers so I got some for you. I've talked with a hell of a lot of people on this especially since you two started talking about how bad the movie is and this is what I got. About 98% of people think the movie is amazing. The only reason it's not a 100 is because of the comments you two are making. I guess the majority of people are wrong in this case and you are right because you're some kind of expert cause you did some editing in your younger years and now you say to go to some kind of film school? One of my most trusted friends currently works in LA and has worked on some of the biggest films, including Inception. He saw Life Cycles in Vegas and couldn't believe the quality and how powerful the movie was, especially since these guys are "first time filmmakers." He said it was one of the most impressive things he's seen in a long time. Just because you've taken a few film classes doesn't make you an expert and by saying the rest of us don't know anything. I can see why Liam is calling you an idiot, it's because you act like you know everything and accusing everyone else of being idiots because they like this movie.

Hey Buds we get that you don't like the movie. Let it go man and lets let the rest of us make the decision for ourselves if we think it's good or bad. I had a couple buddies who saw it in Vegas and they were utterly blown away by it. They said the visuals are like nothing else out there and they said it's different from what the expected going in but overall they liked what they saw. Currently I am going to go with them on this one until I see it for myself.

Red Bull Illume - MTB shooters in the top 50!
That shot of Hunter in the Aspens is pretty sweet. I love how you can't tell where he's coming from and where he's going. Super graphical shot. Hopefully they do well.

That's large on in charge son! That's probably gotta be the biggest 360 drop ever done on a mountain bike. I still think Claws 360 at crankworx 4 to 5 years ago was crazier. Just because it required so much speed and the ground was hard. I've ridden out in Virgin before the soil is pretty soft there so the consequence is low. When I was at Whistler last year I look at the gap Claw 3'd an I have to say that was just plain gnarly.

I can't even wrap my head around what it going on with the guy and the waterfall? How did he even get where he is?
