Does he win? Does he lose? Does he freak out in front of the competition and end up riding a unicycle for spare change in the Pigeon Forge, TN Walmart parking lot?


So when I wear my Rad Racing shirt someone might actually know what is is?

And you can get Rad on DVD, kinda bootleg but no other choice out there since it hasn't been officially released. It's only $10

I have always enjoyed this one. Mostly because I like the song:

Just watched it. Kinda makes you want to go on an epic self supported ride! I have always wanted to ride from *beep* to paradise. :)

Another vote for Ride the Divide from me. I've never watched anything that made me want to go ride as much as that movie did. I even planned a route from Sault Ste Marie to Toledo right after I got done watching. Unfortunately I don't have the time/money/motivation to make that ride happen.

I'm sure everyone's seen this clip. Very cool riding. :)


This one gives some really good first person perspective on what it's like to ride dirt jumps

Here's a link to a fun short film about one of my favorite World Cup DH riders:

Steve Smith: Wandering

All of it was filmed right before he won EVERYTHING at Crankworx, haha.
