A tutorial documentary on mountain biking by Ryan Leech.
A professional rider shows how to perform advanced moves on a bicycle.
This is the video bible of trials biking. I was told to watch it until my eyes bleed. Needless to say (but saying anyway), it's very detailed and descriptive. Ryan Leech demonstrates his moves on fabricated obstacles specifically designed for this purpose on a blank white set. The moves are then shown outdoors in real areas where the moves can be performed. The video and audio are both immaculate to aid the learning process. If you want to learn this style of biking, this is the video. I'm rating it best.
A British tutorial documentary on mountain biking directed by Adam Kaleta, starring Martyn Ashton, Martin Hawyes and Hans Rey.
A trio of UK mountain bikers act out a chase scene on bicycles and then explain how to perform the moves that they used.
On tutorial films like this, I tend to evaluate the content over the production. That being said, the production on the copy that I saw was poor at best. The audio was extremely muffled and the video was a little blurry. The actual "how to" section was great. The instructors gave good advice and used humor to break up the serious learning. It was also nice to see guys doing moves like I want to learn on bicycles that look so much like my own. Modern films of this sort tend to feature guys on overly specialized bicycles performing moves that are far beyond the abilities of a hobbyist like myself. I'm rating this awesome.
