Holy sh*t that was mind blowing... by far the most moving and well filmed mountain bike movie of all time. If you have not seen it you have been deprived.
I'll second that statement...simply unreal and unlike any MTB movie I've ever seen.drinkwat said:Holy sh*t that was mind blowing... by far the most moving and well filmed mountain bike movie of all time. If you have not seen it you have been deprived.

Damm, been waiting over a month on my pre-order from pink bikes, they still haven't charged my cc yet. I guess they as flakey as the people who post stuff in their classifieddrinkwat said:Order mine from kicker films... got it yersterday.

I was waiting for this, so...I reactivated my account and did a search. Life Cycles shows up in standard and HD version, I click on purchase and it proceeds to download:thumbsup: Wait about 2 hours ( stupid slow internet ) and Bingo!!

It's a bit hard to describe, really. I don't know if you've ever seen the BBC series Planet Earth, but it's a lot like that... but with bikes and not animals. It's got a LOT more cinematics than most movies. Most bike movies are non-stop biking action, whether downhill, dirt jump, etc. LC slows the pace WAY down. It doesn't even show the names of the riders during their segments. It starts out slowly with a truck leaving the bustling city and heading up into the mountains of the north shore area, I believe. But even that slow intro is pleasing to the eye, since it is so well-filmed. It goes through the bike building process for a few minutes, which is pretty cool. Later in the movie, it goes through all the elements and conditions a bike is put through. Great time-lapses and more insanely good filming. The dust segment is incredible. No idea how they got those shots as well as they did. The last segment is all in black and white, and is one of the best I've ever seen.kdiff said:It looks cool from the trailer but can anyone elaborate a little bit more on the film please?
I've read that even non-mtb folks will enjoy it but that seems a bit vague. I'm really interested in getting it but I feel like I still don't quite have a grasp on the film. Thanks!
Thank you. That gives me a better idea.charging_rhinos said:It's a bit hard to describe, really.

There isn't as much total riding as in other bike shows (probably only about 50-60% riding at most), but every single shot is as good as the shots in the trailer. It's visually just stunning. It's a great ambassador movie for those that aren't already into the sport, too. My wife isn't into the NWD or Collective movies, but she really liked this one and how it glorifies riding your bike, rather than how awesome a pro is and how broseph he is when chillin' in the van after the sesh. In that respect, it reminds me a lot of what the movie Step Into Liquid does for surfing. If you want non-stop thrash and huck fests in the same style that most bike movies have, it isn't here. This one is focused a lot more on things like how beautiful a singletrack can be, even when you're absolutely ripping it up... at 50mph... in slow-motion... with ferns and waterfalls in the background.
