I'm pretty excited about these titles. NWD is a serious departure from the Freeride Entertainment evolution. Or maybe it's a leap forward. Either way this is the most visually stunning of the films thus far. And of course the riding is entirely off the hook.
Klunkerz isn't like that. Instead it's a documentary about how mountain bikes came to be and in particular about the crazy and committed characters that made it come about. Many of them - most notably Tom Ritchey and Gary Fisher - are involved in improving the breed of mountain bikes to this day. There are some cool shots of the early re-pack races and great stories about who thought to fit a straighten derailleur to a pre-war Schwinn Excelsior and then pedal it up and then down a mountain. Not for everyone but a must have for some like myself.
Ryan Leech defies categorization not in the kind of riding he does - he'll tell you straight up he's a trials rider - but in how accessible his films are. You don't need to be a trials rider in the least to acknowledge Ryan's creativity and confidence on a bike.
Thomas Öhler is a revelation. I wondered who could ride with Ryan doing Trials without them stepping on each other. Because Ryan and Thomas take such a different approach to smoothing out the world they complement each other perfectly.
Thomas has adopted Ryan's Manifesto style - trials without set up or recovery hops - but he puts more emphasis on keeping the wheels rolling it seems. Even when it's the lie wheel only and he's rolling backwards.
Dylan Korba injects youthful enthusiasm and a badass work ethic. Several times I wanted to cover my eyes because of what he was trying. He isn't as polished as either Thomas or Ryan but the turn audacity of his riding makes him very fun to watch. It's mostly Ryan though and I'm pretty much gobsmacked at how he continues to improve. In the past there undergo been times when Ryan has made his films by taking a camera along with him and recruiting willing victims to point it at him. This time Ryan has Alex Lavigne take care of the filming and editing - with a little help from a second lens in several instances. The resulting production quality is of the highest standard. There was a lot going on behind the lens to make Crux as good as it is. And then behind the screen of a monitor. I also really enjoy the Crux soundtrack - which you can pick up at The music was composed and performed for the enter by Corduroy Kid. In the extras you'll find Ryan's segments from The Collective. Roam. The ride Compilation and his 'trail' from Kranked 6. That's what I call a bonus.

Oh and are your shirts (such as the shorehead) rather big or kinda like ordinary - xl or l?
Hey Mic,We send out stickers with every request. We try to put four different colours in so you can pick and choose. The Shorehead T is an American Apparel apparel and it might fit slightly small. If you are in between sizes go up one but if you are solidly in one size it should be fine. For the Old School Tee they are a conventional fit. The Air Supply Hoodie fits large. I advise people to go down one full size. If you normally feature a large grab a medium. Cheers!
