Andy-M (Oct 20, 2008 at 2:11)

That was so sick, some people don't realise today how lucky they are to have bike equipment that's moved on soo much since times like those.

Sick gap aswell!

bananowy (Oct 20, 2008 at 9:38)

exaggerating a bit, those bikes weren't that bad Wink

but still it was sick riding and the movie is a classic! I like how the guys didn't bother doing tricks and shit but just rode.

Katinas (Oct 20, 2008 at 2:12)

man this is sooo good!! this was one of the first movies i saw about freeriding a long time ago!! this is what made me do that same stuff man!! brilliant movie guys!! Thanks!!

nobrain (Oct 20, 2008 at 2:20)

yeah good back in the days I use to watched that in loop
and waiting hours to be able to watch it

I love it thank you Radek to bring us back the good old taste freeriding when it wasn't about tricks, tight pants, and BMX imitation

For me the best period of Mountain bike

Best VOD ever! This brings back so many memories. I can say that this video got me right into bikig. Kinda strange that it still gets me pumped for riding!

DHrider007 (Oct 20, 2008 at 4:08)

lol i put this vid on youtube!

[Reply]

dh07rider (Oct 20, 2008 at 4:52)

In my point of view old school riding was much better because it was necessary more from the rider than from the bike...nowadays we have advanced bikes and you do whatever you want because the bike provides it. It was much easier to find out who was a really good rider Wink

VOD? you mean VHS!?

harlieandhis250 (Oct 20, 2008 at 8:06)

Lol It's crazy to see how much things have progressed in just 8 years, like look at suspension, most everything in that vid seem'd to bottum the bikes out.

radek (Oct 20, 2008 at 11:16)

You are correct. That video WAS filmed using an analog camera! So no digital format, but I had to actually plug in the video out into an a/d converter and import it into the PC.
The future (now) is much better Smile

[Reply]

harlieandhis250 (Oct 20, 2008 at 8:07)

I think I remember that end gap from another really really oldschool video, where the guy crashes out hardcore due to a mangled singletrack. ??

this trails looks like nortshores trails builds by dangerous dan. Sick oldschool vid!!

[Reply]

lardnapkin (Oct 20, 2008 at 11:00)

This video is a classic example that it is not about the equipment but the rider. You can buy yourself a $7000 bike and still not get it.

Loved the video, road trips is where it's at We (who live in BC) are so lucky to have over a hundred world class trail within a short distance. Loved that last jump....

BIKE IT OFF

radek (Oct 20, 2008 at 11:12)

You bet and I ageree. The only thing to add, back then those bikes were pretty much the best you could get. I believe my blue bullit in that video was $5k. The future is much better where you can get a more durable kick ass bike for a couple of grand now. Still it is all about having fun, adventure, exploring and sharing it all with your buds.
