Just saw the local premier of it.
Pretty intense stuff on mountain bikes, makes me want one even more.
Anybody else seen it?
Discuss.
A group of us went down saw it at the Colorado Springs premier a few weeks back. It was good, but ROAM was better, IMO. Although, I do have to give them credit for doing such a good job on the DH portions. It’s rare for mountain bike movies to successfully capture the speed and skill required to truly DH. Seasons did a good job at this.
If you liked Seasons, you will definitely like ROAM and you should probably check out The Collective (The Collective’s first, self titled film). The New World Disorder films are good ones too with NWD 6 being a classic, NWD 7 being my favorite of the series, and NWD 8 (this year’s release) being pretty good, but not capturing me like others have in the past.

I have no real experience mountain biking, besides some trail riding when I was really young. That said, that film was intense and made me want to scope it out, I’ll have to check out some more of those films.
i have roam. haven’t seen seasons. is it mostly downhill riding and dirt jumping?
Not really. Seasons is probably the most well-rounded mountain bike flick to date. It incorporates slope style, dirt jumping, downhill, freeride, and some trail riding. They did leave out backcoutry riding, whereas ROAM hits on that… unless my memory is failing me. Honestly, for riders just getting into mountain biking, the best flick you can watch is ROAM. It seems to capture the stoke of mountain biking better than any other film.
