I just got mine last night and was all stoked to sit back, crack a few beers, and enjoy the show. It was so painful to watch I couldn't even drink beer……never had that happen before. I admit I'm an old fuddy duddy who's not really in to watching DJ-fests, but I like to think I'm pretty open minded regarding mountain biking in general and can appreciate all aspects of riding…..I have many different mountain bike videos in my TV room and my favorite one (other than The Collective flicks, of course) is probably Stripped. Problem is, from what I recall, there really weren't that many aspects of mountain biking shown in this film. Lot's of variations of triple lindy's and such on dirt jumps, but not much else that I can recall. I give total props to the dudes who can throw their crazy tricks off jumps, but over an hour of variations of that gets pretty painful for me to watch. Only two sections I really recall were Voreis and Bourdo. Voreis segment at Blackrock was pretty cool but what is it with all trails needing to be perfectly buffed out versions of A-Line in different locations? I love Whistler as much as the next guy, but I'd like to actually have a reason for the suspension on my bike.
Bourdo's section was by far my favorite in the film. Again, I am an old codger but what ever happened to some good ol' North Shore segments?
Anyway, I feel like my money was just stolen from me……I will never watch that movie again. First dude to PM me with his/her address get's my viewed once movie mailed to his/her address on me.
PM'd! haha
