4.0 out of 5 stars great for getting past the beginning stages, June 8, 2007

This review is from: Performance Mountain Biking (DVD)

If you've managed to get comfortable riding your bike on that local trail and you're interested in improving on your handling skills then this will undoubtedly prove to be a great resource. If you've read Ned's book then you'll find the content is similar. I'd recommend one or the other but not both.

I gave it only four stars because I bought it hoping for coverage of more advanced skills. I wish the page at Amazon had been more descriptive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Technical Skills from a Champion Rider, January 4, 2008

This review is from: Performance Mountain Biking (DVD)

I'm not a professional mountain biker. Mostly do it just for fun. I was amazed at the things Ned was able to demonstrate in the video. Many trails, and areas that I used to walk my bike through, I am now able to ride through after practicing a few of the techniques in the video. It's amazing just to watch him execute some of these techniques.

If you are a beginning to intermediate rider you could really benefit from watching this.

I primarily commute with my mountain bike and often use the down Low Glow Down Low Glow Lighting Kit - Two Tubes-Envy(green)Down Low Glow Lighting Kit - Single Tube - Envy(green)Down Low Glow Lighting Kit - Two Tubes - Plush(red) It is rugged enought for moutain biking too. I've used it on a few late evening rides.

Related moutain biking dvds worth checking out: Wildflower Mountain Biking for Women & Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance. Although the wildflower is primarily made by women for women, i think it has useful tips for men too. The zinn dvd I refer to all the time. I'm not one to spend my life reading manuals so i refer to that one all the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting started and moving past beginner, July 31, 2007

I got this DVD at the same time as I got Fundamentals Mountain Bike Technique DVD .

Ned's DVD was superior in that it was structured more like a clinic with ideas clearly explained. Nothing too flashy just really good advice and skill teaching.

Extras include trail-side maintenance and setting up your suspension.
