While it is not ROAM, it is definately a fun movie. Starts out slow. Let's face it, how many of us can really enjoy mountain biking in winter (except us lucky ones in Arizona... we just can't bike in the heat of the summer). The movies covers the life of competition as well as riding with friends. Love this movie.

This, the 3rd film by The Collective, is a great one. The Collective produce the best mountain biking films I have ever seen. Their cinematography is top notch. I felt Roam (the 2nd film) did not live up to the production quality of the first. 'Seasons' however is phenomenal. Beautiful scenery and an excellent audio mix.
The real reason we buy these disks is for the riders, and the riders are as good, or better, than the production quality of the disk. These boys got skills the rest of us riders wish we had. There is a good mix of downhill, jumps, freeride, etc.
This is one you will want to add to your collection so that you could watch over and over again. Too bad there is not Blu-ray version.

I have been reluctant to pull the trigger on purchasing a mountain biking DVD. Finally after years I decided to get one. I ordered Seasons - The Collective two years ago and I do not regret it. One of the Best Mountain Bike DVDs Ever! I have watched Life Cycles, Roamed, Kranked, etc. But I always had friends show me them. I purchased this one because I had heard it was amazing. I am so glad I purchased this DVD. I have watched it tons of times with friends, family, and even just other kids at a mountain bike camp I go to. This is a Must Own DVD.

This is the first mountainbike DVD I've bought and I'm going to get the other Collective movies - this is stunning. Great blend of cinematography, music, interviews with the guys, and mountainbiking action. Love all the different camera angles. The riders are excellent, as you'd expect as they are at the top of their game. It's cool to see mountainbiking from an observer point of view too. The stunts are incredible but this movie nonetheless makes mountainbiking feel accessible; unlike watching some other sports (motorbike racing comes to mind) this is something us mortals can do, even if not to this extreme. Very inspiring - makes you want to get out and ride!

This is a great DVD. I don't bike anymore but when I used to, all those occasions when I was feeling a little lazy about going out to the hills and ride I just watched this, and at the end I just felt so pumped up that the next thing you knew about me was that I was already climbing those hills with my bike.

I saw just one scene of this video on Youtube and then decided to buy it. There is nothing to trash in it, it's just awesome. If you are into MTB but also you do enjoy video and photo shooting on your rides, this video is a must see.

This is without a doubt the best mountain biking film I have ever seen. Its so well shot, the music is great, the riders are the best in the world. Get this film, it will blow your mind.

you might want to know that the dvd comes in a recycled case, which is very nice, but it looks like recylec paper, not its cover(that looks brand new), but the internal part that holds the disc.Talking about the movie, that was honestly one of the best I've ever seen, the documentary parts, in which you get to know the bikers alternate with the riding part, in the most beautiful scenarios, with a great choice of soundtrack that makes the whole thing even more inspiring, those guys are like sick! They're crazy, and the director could capture the most amazing angles! That's absolutly breathtaking.
