The Aussie national series lights up my winter. There's no race footage from elsewhere in the world and so it's easy to follow and the riding down under at such a high level that it's awesome to watch. I think the offset seasons are a real advantage for aussie racers (racing all year round and racing is the best training for racing, right? although I bet it's absolutely exhausting too). Good movie though, I love race footage and I love the tracks on the Aussie series!

Also, there's been this women in mountain biking debate going on lately and I've taken a lot of flak for saying this in the past... but I totally agree with what Tracey Hannah says about not riding like a girl -- guys are more powerful and active on their bikes. They are more preemptive when they ride and it makes all the difference. I love watching women ride, Women of Dirt is one of my fave movies, but there are few women who ride like guys (Jill Kintner and Darcy Turenne make the list along with Tracey Hannah). I remember seeing little Tracey win Schladming in the girl's section of Earthed 5 and thinking "holy shit she rides like Mick!"... and that's a good thing, damnit! Just figured I'd go on a rant in a comments section that very few people will ever see, hahahahaha...

You could say Australia has some of the best riders in the world, but that would be an understatement

You could say the same about UK, France, SA and Canada too, but that would also be an understatement.

Just be sure to leave out the USA.

i would like to pre-apologize for anyone from the US who takes that seriously and goes on a patriotic rant while simultaneously slamming all other countries on the planet... try and excuse their past, present, and future idiocy and ignorance

thank you for your understanding.

sincerely,
one of the few americans on this website with a sense of humor.

okay I didn't watch the whole thing. do they talk about Conner Fearon?

chris-likes-bikes (May 23, 2012 at 4:20)

Firstly, you missed out as it's definitely worth watching it. I watched it a couple of days ago when it first came out and I think they mention him briefly but he's not a major part in the film.
