 For the benefit of further educating the younger crowd... pinkbike, please get in touch with Race Face and put up the finalists of all the Ultimate Freeride Challenges, specifically the one-armed hucker and the dude riding on cables. This is a great start, though Wink

 Thank you sooo much pinkbike for this. I remember when this was THE show for me on extreme sports tv back in the days. Have probably seen it 10 times, but I really belive I'll enjoy it most now. I really wanted to ride any of the bikes or trails they had but nothing compared to the freakin bus with flames that would take you to new epic trail every day. Actually, I still want that one Big Grin

 This is what turned me from BMX to DJ then Dh Razz back on 413 extreme channel Big Grin

I WANNT BE ON DROP IN!!! This show made my life seriously, Id run back home from school just to watch this and then try to shred my K2 Sesh BMX like a Djer. Ahhhh the good ol days, life flies by too quick, Huck it, Ride it, Whip it! Wink

 Glad you guys are still stoked on the show! I'll be posting more seasons right away. Subscribe and stay tuned. I'll keep everyone updated. There's a small chance we can bring the show back with new seasons!!!!

 Post new zealand season!! Spangler was a beast there

 Thanks Tim for producing such an awesome series. As shown by the comments here, it was extremely influential to the mountain bike community.
So many big name riders (mostly as they were just becoming known) were in the series or made guest appearances it's hard to count. I'm sure the exposure they got on Drop In helped many get noticed by far more fans and potential sponsors than they would have otherwise.
Best mountain bike series ever!
  • 1 0
 New seasons sound great Tim!! ....fingers crossed for that! Can Drop-In S1 be purchased anywhere? It's the only season I'm missing.
  • 2 0
 @Zalevsky Spangler was a beast for getting right back up from that badass nasty splatter crash he had there.
  • 8 0
 I'm just happy there's still fans and interest! If we can show a broadcaster there's a lot of interest then we can put a plan together, choose the riders and get season 6 going! watch, share, and subscribe!

 Awesome! Haven't seen season 1 in ages, this came out right around when I was getting into riding! Thanks a ton for posting, would love to see a new season!

 Awesome. This series was the reason why I bought a 50 pound freeride bike in 2002.
  • 2 0
 Kona Stinky with Super Monsters?

That was actually 55 lbs...

And I know that because a guy I rode with named Satan Lee (I don't know his real first name, he could honestly be Satan though) had that same freaking setup back around that time period!!!

 RM7DH with Shivers. I didn't get super monsters for it until last year...

 woohoo- word has it that the mainstream freeride movement was birthed right there on that very bus. I happened to be camping at Capilano campground in Vancouver when they were there back almost 15 years ago, I never forgot the favour that was entrusted to me from them guys. Thanks

 What kind of favour?.....

 Drop In TV gets full credit for the reason why I ride a bike today. Got me into it and kept me into it. Big Salute to the Drop In Crew!

 Wow, sure feel like an OG when you see yourself in throwback thursday stuff that's over 10 years old.

 OG! Lone wolf was a young'n in that loops seggy. I remember when Darren went down on that road gap, I have footage of that laying around somewhere still. One of the gnarlest crashes Ive ever witnessed. I Still vividly remember the sound of him landing on the road….

 crazyness.. That fall was just un freakin real. I remember when i saw that episode back when I was like 12, dropped my jaw. Watch season 1 again today and I have even more of an appreciation for riding listenin to what some of these guys say, and go through. MADS respect and Love for you guys. Standing O!

 Hell yeah, these guys were my heros when I started riding. I remember when they came to fernie for this season, Im pretty sure I was 9 haha.

 I would like to start crowd sourcing for a documentary I will produce entitled "Where in the World is Dylan Tremblay?". The Film will feature interviews with contemporary professional mountain bikers and industry leaders and will track Dylan's inevitable descent into obscurity. Kind of like Searching for Sugarman... but with mountain biking.
  • 1 0
 I've run into him in Parksville a few years ago at the skatepark there. I think he's still bummin around the island somewhere!
  • 5 0
 Make a new season... Would be cool to compare how things have evolved through the years.

 Life behind bars !
  • 3 1
 Touché, but bring back the old guys. Dylan, super t, and the like. Live to see where they are with their riding, if at all.

 It would just be horrible dubstep and slow motion shots of berms being "railed".
This old stuff is much better.

 I'm working on maybe bringing the show back to life! Easiest way to get it infront of a real broadcaster is show the size of following. this would be through YouTube subscriptions and likes on the Drop In facebook page www.facebook.com/dropintv

 I still remember Darren Butler's crash in Kamloops getting coverage in the Calgary Herald newspaper before the episode aired. It blew my mind that guys were doing that on bikes.

 Good skillz PB!!! Gutted season 6 never happened. best Mtb series ever!! My fave had to be season 4 in NZ with the NZ guy on the Santa Cruz having 'issues' with everyone. Loved that dude, complex cat but top rider Smile
Or was my fave season 3 with a young C Mac and all those north shore skinnies??
  • 2 0
 knobby tires on street, big burly DH rigs, 24" rears and a whole lotta Bomber action up front.

Those were the days.

I remember running outside after episode one, grabbing my bike and heading to the first bleachers I could find to practice some trisl moves like Denny.... on my XC bike! Smile

 Two weeks ago I got the chance to meet and have lunch with the now 'retired' Dylan Tremblay. It was super neat to ask all the questions I have been pressed to ask since I watched the show many years back. Then... Today as I was driving around town I see the old Drop In bus in someones back yard!!!! It still looks exactly the same!!

 The most anticipated TV programme of my childhood! From the times when internet was not as easily accessible as today, from the times when it all began, the spark arouse and changed into a fire that's now burning inside me... thanks!

 This show probably did so much for mountain biking by makin tons of new riders. Drop In was the reason i wanted to move to bc as a kid, and now i live in kelowna. would be so sick to see it brought back, would also be really good for the sport

 Been watching these episodes all morning, had never seen drop in before! So cool , wish i woulda known about this series , maybe i would be better lol na, but thanks PB for puttin this up an makin my halloween morning badass!!!!!!!

 I am so glad to see this up on pb.I have the dvd collection and my kids love watching Tyler, Dylan, Steve and all the other greats. This brings lots of great memories of the days we rode Vedder mt with all the gang. Very happy to hear the possibility of a comeback. ... Cheers Derek

 I don't remember the exact season and episode, but there was one story that makes me laugh whenever I recall it. One of the guests to the crew, that rode a hardtail freeride bike with rear hydraulic rim brake was put into a large washing machine. They filmed it when he looked outside through the round window being rolled slowly inside the machine.
  • 1 0
 So awesome to see the bikes and tech from that day! Man am i glad I'm still riding. The Claw is classic in the Van Island episode! He looks so baked with his bandana and REALLY baggy jeans thrown 3's and seat gabs long before anyone else. No wonder Big D and the Freeride Entertainment crew have done so much together! The jumps look so loose too man those guys have that shit totally dialled now!
