The best captured moments of freeriding., September 16, 2004
This review is from: The Collective (DVD)
When watching mountain biking movies, you assume they will be showing crazy descents, big air, crashes, all to a rocking sound track. This movie has all this, but it also has a whole lot more. This is not only the visions of downhilling, but also the thoughts, feelings and spirit involved.
What catches you first is the film shot. Bar none, the best footage ever shot. Sharp, clean, and artistic, just like the riders. You can tell a lot of work went into shooting and editing this movie. It is just beautiful, and with the sound sound track, it just captures you and gets you involved with the film. It does have it's rocking moments, but what gets you are the mellow, soulful soundtrack in between.
Lastly, the riders narration brings you that much closer to the film. They express their feelings, what they are going through, what they have planned and why.
I could watch this film a thousand times and never be bored. The beautiful scenery, the fantastic cinematography, creativity, and all the work behind it, makes this the best mountain bike film I have enjoyed to date.

Well rounded video, October 6, 2005
This review is from: The Collective (DVD)
A very nice collection of 8 different terrains using excellent camera angles, long cuts of video, and good match of music. DVD put together very well with various chapters behind the scenes, interviews, and awesome crash footage. I very much recommend this video for anyone who enjoys off road, air/freestyle, and/or urban trials.

the spirit of freeride mountainbiking, August 18, 2004
This review is from: The Collective (DVD)
well there are so many mountainbike videos out there but In my opinion none of them were able to really catch the spirit of freeride- mountainbiking. but this time it's different. the collective is the most stylish bike film ever with an incredible camera work, absolutely great music, beautiful riding-spots and in my opinion the first bike film ever that was able to bring the spirit of freeriding to the screen. I had tears in my eyes when I saw this film the first time ! If you're looking for a really good mountainbike film then buy THE COLLECTIVE !
