Skills for Thrills

Year: 2011 AdventureDocumentary Runtime: 38 min

Overview

A one-on-one riding masterclass with Fabien Barel. When it comes to flat-out, calculated riding, few impress like Barel. Every component on his bikes is carefully chosen, every riding input finely tuned to extract speed from the trail. That precision translates into invaluable lessons for any rider. MBUK tech editor Rob Weaver joined Fabien in Nice for filming and was blown away: “Riding with Fabien really opens your eyes to what’s possible on a mountain bike. His calculated approach to speed and deep understanding of technique are astounding. The way he breaks down skills and explains exactly what’s happening—or what needs to—makes it easy to learn, whatever your style of riding.” Packed with over an hour of wisdom, this masterclass covers everything from bike set-up and equipment to advanced trail-shredding techniques that’ll leave your riding buddies wide-eyed and trail centre regulars shouting, “Oi! No professionals!”

Along the Smugglers' Trail

Pierluca Rossi's Lungo La Pista Dei Contrabbandieri (1990) is an adventure documentary about a mountain bike crossing of the 700 km between the towns of Tamarasset and Djanet in the southern Algerian Sahara, from the Hoggar mountain range to the Tassili n'Ajjer. This crossing, supported by a 4x4 truck and a motorcycle, and never before undertaken by bicycle, emphasizes the rediscovered dimension of slowness, similar to the caravans of the Tuareg, in contrast to the unnatural speed of mechanized desert travel in the 1990s, which was considered the norm at the time due to the distorted image provided by the Paris-Dakar Rally and other similar events.

Atmospheric River Rats

Inspired by British mountain bike movies like "A Slice of British Pie", "Tea and Biscuits" and 50to01 vids, we set out to make a mountain bike movie in our town Bellingham, Washington. The key difference being that we wanted to avoid filming only "pro" riders and instead wanted to capture a diverse range of skill levels. The winter of 2021/22 was especially wet in Bellingham with the "atmospheric river" bringing in especially foul conditions. Most self respecting mountain bikers would have hung up their helmet for the season but many of our local river rats continued on with their trail building and riding. Despite mud, grit, snow, hail and torrential rain our local riders were still out there. Capturing these creatures in their natural habitat was our goal. We proudly present to "Atmospheric River Rats" a Bellingham community mountain bike movie.

New World Disorder 1

The start of a legacy. The first of the New World Disorder series which stopped at the 10th film. The movie was one of only a few documenting the mountain bike disciplines of free riding, trails and downhill. The filming is incredible for the time while the music is hard rock of the late 90's. Added bonuses include the most impressive unicyclist you'll ever have seen and a pair of mountain boardera. Also included is fourwheel mountain biking with Trevair sending it big and Stacy Kohut seding it stylie. The most iconic part of this film is the "Jah Drop" that Josh Bender attempts. The Jah Drop is a 55ft. cliff located in Kamloops, Canada.
