wesley_r Posted December 2, 2011 Share I must agree with Cptmayhem and Capricorn - the movie was way too short, and it ended abruptly. It was also "ride ride ride" as cpt mentioned - I felt they could have changed the pace up a bit, perhaps with bigger breaks between segments. As the film started the pace was welcomed, but as it kept going I longed for a break in pace - as awesome as the riding was, it actually became monotonous for a while. Still, well worth a watch.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 5, 2011 Share DUDE! Not cool. We need your feedback! You should have Flintstoned it to the jol, bro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted December 5, 2011 Share I agree with you guys. Was a cool night out, but it's getting a bit same old. IMO these guys need a new angle. Most of the riding showcased here is so far beyond the average bloke (me!) and it's cool to watch but only so many times then it's "the same" just slightly different. How about what Sinematella is doing with 360 Life. Tell the story. Follow a guy or two in their prep for the Mega then cover them doing it. The joy, the anger...the blood sweat and tears. That way they can showcase some killer riding, plus some AM and race stuff that a lot more people can associate with. I'm a big fan of beautiful shots and killer angles, but again, the bar's been set - that is now a pre-requisite. Not a nice to have anymore.

Iwan Kemp Posted December 5, 2011 Share As for the rawness - I definitely agree with you there... But it just didn't carry over to the screen as it did in the shorts. The shorts were all "small time riders riding big time stuff" and just having fun - what it's meant to be. The film, however, is just ride ride ride ride, oh, a train. Ride ride ride. Finish.

patches Posted December 5, 2011 Share Friday night was awesome! Sure the film was short compared to the usuals... But the awesome previews made up for it. Seriously... with previews like that, it's almost like the Banff film festival! Besides Semenuk's segment was out-of-this-world! Oh, plus I won the Scott helmet they were giving away Edited December 5, 2011 by patches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, plus I won the Scott helmet they were giving away And that wouldn't have had any effect on the screening, hey Patches? Semenuk was (and always is) outstanding.And yes, the previews were FANTASTIC! As was the riding. But the film itself? Meh. As I said before... The riding was SU fkn PERB. But would I buy the flick? No. Would I watch it again? Maybe. Do I have the same approach to Follow Me / LifeCycles? No. Those flicks were pure entertainment, and had more of a movie-style feel to them. I felt immersed in the movie, whereas here, I felt I was just watching a bunch of uber-talented riders shredding a few trails. No "heart" to it.
