Good review of Mountain biking skills

While race oriented, this DVD is a good review of all the techniques necessary to advance in the sport of mountain biking. Watched in order the clips build on each other and show you how to do each technique. Yet each clip is independently selectable.
There are also sections on bike building and maintainance.
This DVD is produced in England so American viewers may find some of the language unusual but understandable.
I like the video and it passes the basic test in that after watching you want to get the bike out and practice.

Don't expect too much...

I'm one of those riders who is Intermediate/Advanced... and this DVD came on both a magazine recommendation and a friends' recommendation. I watched it. While it's cool to see some of the things, I yawned at the end, frustrated that I could already do 95% of what was described in the video. I was hoping to up my skills/techniques a bit, so it didn't help me there. one thing I *was* looking for was detailed guidance on riding a long-distance manual. That portion lasted for maybe a minute, and didn't tell me anything I didn't know. Fortunately, I also sponsor a school-based mountian bike club, so I will be able to use this for my students in the club, but for even the Intermediate rider, I'd say you're better suited to hang out with riders a little better than you and watch and learn them. Heck, offer to buy them a beer afterwards if they give you a "how to" ride... you'll make new friends, have a better time, and maybe even save a few bucks.

Light on specifics

This DVD provides lots of material illustrating many different mountain biking activities and techniques; however, it gives very little in the way of specific instructions. It's better for showing what's possible than for explaining how to perform the various skills. As such, it's probably better for riders who have lots of time to experiment than for those wanting something more along the lines of a lesson.

mountain bike DVD

Arrived in excellent condition, in the time frame promised. Very good DVD, not really for the beginner, though. DVD extras were worth the price, bike maintenance and adjustment.
