Skoze Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Best way to spend an hour Amazes me how so much of that is still pretty beasty even by today's standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsieurMonkey Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I like their bikes, instead of people saying "My bike weighs 1.3lbs." They're just riding something that must weigh probably twice if not more what the average bike weighs in at today. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rathergoodpie Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 AWESOME. Been thinking about buying this on DVD. Just love the bits with Ashton & Hawyes - you can just tell that the riding vibe is all about them pissing about trying new stuff. Such a feel good vid! I wanna go and ride now!

aener Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Can't believe how much has changed in such a relatively short time. As Adam said, I don't really "get it" - I'm too new-school a rider for it - but it's very interesting seeing what it all came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rathergoodpie Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Also, it's depressing that Ashton is only 22 in this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Some weeeird effects in that. Fairly cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Love watching it, just makes me wanna build up an old Giant ATX 890 with some Z1 bombers and hit some of my old trails! EDIT: Whoa, now I'm seriously happy. Had a search on Youtube just now and someone has uploaded the classic MBUK vid Dirt with Jason McRoy in really good quality. I've still got the original vid along with the crappy Get a Grip but no longer have a VCR to play them on so this has cheered me up no end!!

Brettoll Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Just listening to the soundtrack brings back amazing memories. I know, the soundtrack was immense on this video. I always remember the bit in Satan by Orbital where Ashton stacks it off the wall, that song is just classic electro/dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Only one tune lets it down in my opinion, and that's whatevers playing during the Kitch section near the beginning - always used to skip that part, but just muted it for today. Best line, I reckon, is "Wake up on a day, doesn't matter what day, and you're mum asks what you're doing at the weekend and you say 'whens the weekend?'". Pretty much sums up what I wanted from riding back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Think I've still got my old fake dcd with a massive groove in it from chain wear, and ive got the cd single of sugar daddy which is burned on a dance cd I've currently got in the car, along with my dust junkies album. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
