The Kranked series are the best of the breed. There is a bit of humor in them but the riding, music, and scenery is unsurpassed. Ive watched them all at least 5 times each and they never get boring. Kranked 3 & 4 (Search for the Holy Trail) are must haves.

good all-around mntn biking dvd, except a bit short

This is a good collection of different mountain biking clips from 2000. For the time, a lot of it was probably pretty ground-breaking (excuse the pun).

Styles include: single track (fast and steep!), free riding/downhill, dirt jumping, stunts, big air (lots of 15-20 and up), and some fairly insane "jig" (e.g. urban) riding (This guy Ryan Leech is amazing).

North American locations include SoCal, Tahoe, North Shore, and Durango. Then there is some really wild and untamed riding in South America and Turkey, probably my favorite segments due to the hairiness of the trails and how the guys ride completely balls-out. The trick riding/jumping in a Turkish village almost has to be seen to be believed.

My only beef is that this DVD is too short! I think it only has about 40 minutes of footage. Could have used at least 20-30 minutes more, but what is there is of high quality. For the price ($9), it is probably worth it, but it definitely leaves you wanting more when the credits roll.

Best I've seen

Kranked III has the best mix of kick ass footage and soundtrack Ive seen to date. If you want to buy one DVD, this is the one.

Kranked review

On: 2001-12-09

I loved the views of this dvd. It was my first mtn. biking dvd purchase, although I have seen some others, I must say I enjoyed the footage of this one the best. A good investment to start your mtn. biking library.
