Love a good film or documentary, so as I have recently taken mountain biking up I was wondering if anyone has any good reccomendations for or links to MTB blogs or docs etc..

Thanks

For skills,
fluidride like a pro and dirt school are the best

for riding,
roam and the collective and the 'ride the divide'

Think you need to watch them again

I did the cinema night last year Follow Me Vast & Lifecycles. Didn't think to much of Vast or may have been Lifecycles.

Hey scully - welcome to the world of mtb - its wickedly good fun in all its shapes and forms are you after films and docs or useful websites as you mentioned docs? What's been said so far is spot on!

IMBIKEMAG is good on youtube
for techniques\skills

Always see people better than you, always see people worse. And I never watch crash films. Need all my brain focused on steve peat mode!

Karve to be honest although I am a bit of a film buff you just cant beat a good documentary, I watched ride the divide before I even got into biking and enjoyed it,

For example:

Surfing - Riding Giants
Art - Exit through the gift shop
Religion - Zeitgeist
Bodybuilding - Pumping Iron
MTB - ????????

Just wondering if there is that definitive mountain biking or cycling doc that I need to add to my watched list.

The other links posted are great too as I was also looking for blogs / vlogs or youtube channels for general tips / skills etc.. so thanks to all for the posts.

For some basic skills, stw did a 4 part series a while ago, heres the link to jedi (off here) demonstrating drops

You can find the other 3 parts from there.

Dirty tricks and cunning skills is ace for learning new techniques- just need to see past the cheap camera footage but it's got proper substance.

Wouldn't say it was proper mad trail cam footage but more a training aid.
