One day while channel surfing the TV, I watched a short segment showing two MTBers doing XC type DH in Europe. These guys were so smooth, it was magic.
I would like to buy a DVD showing more of the same super smooth riding. Just from the little I saw, I started riding better.
What DVDs do you recommend?

What MTB DVD to Buy?
I want a 6" travel 20lb MTB. I found the 20lb MTB, but only good for riders under 87 pounds.

The Collective. By far the best MTB DVD out there.

I share the...er...Collective opinion.
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.

Thanks all for the info. I'll buy "The Collective" this week. And thanks to you guys, I know the money and time will be well spent.

Anybody know if the guys that did "The Collective" are going to do another film? I know I would buy it in a heartbeat if they did.

Yeah, I just picked up Collective a month or so ago, and it's far better than any of the others I've seen/have. Like gonz said, I think the camera work is what really distinguishes it.

I ordered both The Collective & Earthed today. Now I can't wait for them to come.
Or maybe I can wait. I cracked the frame on my XC bike, and now have to wait to get a new one sent to me. (It was covered under warrenty.) I really like the bike (Weyless XP Pro), but they don't have that frame any more. So I'm still working out the deatils of what new frames they have to offer.I want a 6" travel 20lb MTB.
