Krisboats Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Saw this earlier, thought i'd share. http://www.pinkbike.com/video/222841 EDIT: Found this one too and rather enjoyed it.

Ali C Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 hmmm, downhill videos don't really do it for me like they once did. I enjoy riding downhill very much, but watching it....no thanks. Actually, I do enjoy watching world cup footage, it almost seems like they have a reason to go fast then rather than going out and trying to be fast for no reason (bad wording, but I can't think of a better way of saying it). Bring back Sprung, they are the best type of DH vids ever made, they show all the fun that's to be had, all the larking about in the pits, getting drunk, falling off motorbikes. That's my type of DH vid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 See, that's why i liked the first one i linked to. If you ignore all the advertising, the song and the intro make it feel very much like a group of mates meeting up for a bit of a session.

Ali C Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 all wearing the same power ranger style clothes The impression I got from it was that they were going out to "train" rather than "ride" which is fair enough if you are racing, but I just don't like that image.

Krisboats Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 If you ignore all the advertising I've never watched sprung though so may have to try hunting it down later. Cheers dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 haha, yeah I guess I didn't consider their clothes as advertising, but you are completely right. see if you can find Sprung 3, they are all pretty old school, but that one I remember being the best.

Ali C Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 That's an example, not really showing the best stuff, but it gives a feel for the series, super fisheye, random interviews, range of musics, larking about, riding bikes.

Luke Rainbird Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 For me it was always about the streetier sections in Sprung - watched them pretty religiously as I was just getting into riding properly back then, so a bunch of friends pissing about on whatever they could find appealed to me bigtime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
