Just finished watching it. Bloody ace.

The Brandon Semenuk but is still brilliant.

Tom van Steenbergen though, gets eaten by a bear then lives on to ride in Nepal (or wherever). Makes no sense!

Really liked that. What was the brown snow at whistler, volcanic ash of some sort?

Am I the only one that thought it was pretentious bollocks? 46mins long, with how much actual riding?!

Didn't really do it for me either. Had a few moments, but didn't escape from being one big long advert. That bit at the start of Whistler, felt sure there was going to be some hastily erected wooden shacks round the corner. Too many of the trails looked liked they'd been made with a giant beard trimmer.

liked the filming in the FEAR LESS (bear) sequence, dunno how many wire-cams, drones or god knows what they used to shoot it but the sequences with the camera running along parallel to him with trees whizzing by in between woz awsumz.

Dull as ditchwater. Loads of crap acting, excessive use of slow mo and the makers frothing at the mouth to make it look as pretty as possible while forgetting about the riding (apart from semenuk)

Bike movies have gone the way of the snowboard movie, pretentious shite with fancy camera tricks but no soul.

S'bin a long time since I've seen a MTB film (last one was Roam I think). I enjoyed this one - as mentioned, scenery was stunning

I enjoyed it. I also liked quite a bit of the music as well.

Although my son kept asking me if I could do that, I had to keep replying no, to which he then asked why, and then why, and then why (he's 6)

Very good, especially Steve Smith drifting and the brown pow. Too much slo mo though

Really enjoyed it, but thought it wasn't as good as Builder or Revel in the Chaos.

Also the new Cam Zink biography 'Reach for the Sky' is fantastic.

So no progress since Seasons then? Last film I watched, utter drivel.

Some great camera work and visuals (agree that the super slo mo was a bit overdone though). Fantastic settings. Undoubtedly talented riders.

The whole somehow less than the sum of its parts though.

One or two sections of brilliance (obviously Semenuk, but I thought the Van Steenbergen bit was better and more relateable), but overall a tiny bit underhelming as an MTB film. Still makes me want to get out and ride though.

Music was awesome. Film was total gash.

I think it contained enough slow mo to last every person in China a lifetime, it was almost hard to watch at times.
