Stephanie Dietze and Lutz Eichholz unicycle down a 3011m high mountain in the dolomites. The backdrop is epic and seeing someone descend such steep slopes on a single wheel is pretty incredible.
If you haven't seen Life Cycles before go watch it now. From beginning to end this is one of the best full length mountain bike movies to date, gives the collective series (Anthill Films) a run for their money. Filming and editing are on point and riding is sick too.
Life Elevated
What a Utah adventure. I'm liking everything but the song here. Life Elevated on Pinkbike

Power Hour - Paul Genovese/Matt Dennis
Here's one of the nicer dirt jump edits I've seen in a while. The crazy part is it was only filmed in an hour. Too many tricks thrown down to name them, so watch it for your self. Editing is on point, music's not bad, and I'm loving the mountains in the background. Check this one out.
This edit has it all, dirt jumps, steep chutes, some huge kickers in the woods, even a little speed boating. Really well put together and the jump park he rides is near perfect. It starts out a little slow, but gets good about a minute in.

VCA RACE RUN
While the VCA race course is far from anything you'd find on the world cup circuit, it's a crazy ride through the streets of Valparaiso, Chile. The guy in the video did not win the race, but still deserves credit for riding the course and capturing it on film for all of us to watch. This one's pretty sick, check it out.

Anthony Messere: 2 Edits
Anthony Messere is about fifteen in both of these edits, but he's riding at such a high level. Last summer, Anthony competed in his first ever Crankworx in Whistler, B.C. against the world's top professional riders, placing third at only 15 years old. It's insane how good this kid has gotten and how fast he's done it. It takes a passion for riding that is never quenched, a thirst to ride everyday, and he has it. And I guess a bit of skill, anyways very impressive overall. The first edit is filmed and edited by Nic Genovese, who does an excellent job.
This second edit is some extra footage tossed together for a quick edit, some of the tricks are pretty big and the riding quality as a whole is very high. Anthony is definitely someone to watch out for on the competition scene next year, anyways check this 12 shot edit out.
Mark Matthews' Freeride Line
Chromag rider Mark Matthews finally gets to ride his masterpiece. After building this trail for 18 months, its finally looking polished and chromag hooked him up with a sweet edit. Check this one out, he's going pretty big, ripping through the forest.
Aaron Larocque's produced his first film What's Next with essentially no budget, and with very little help. He was also nice enough to give it away for free, and you can watch the entire thing online:http://www.pinkbike.com/video/102556/. With any full length movie, comes an abundance of footage, here's some of it in the What's Next? crash reel...
Follow Me: Steve Smith and Brandon Semenuk
One of my favorite segments of all time. Brandon Semenuk and Steve Smith absolutely kill it on the dirt jumps and the downhill trails. Great song, great vibes, and one of my favorite cable came shots ever at about 2:20. As usual Anthill Films couldn't have done it any better. The whole movie, Follow Me, is a banger and you should check it out [http://www.anthillfilms.com/followme]. Anyways, enjoy this edit cause its fuckin' sick.
Coastal Crew Ep.1 - Saturday
Here's the first of I think ten webisodes that Coastal Crew put out starting about 2 years ago. It's a bit of a trailer for the entire series, but its very good. The Coastal Crew is world class filming and they are currently collaborating on their new film, From The Inside Out, with Anthill films. Anyways, great edit with good music and sick riding, enjoy.
Danny Macaskill: Industrial Revolutions
Danny Macaskill went viral on youtube a few years back, and while that video was pretty cool, this one is on a whole different level. Cut Media did a great job capturing the crazy amount of skills Danny's got as a rider. Spoiler alert: the last shot is of a backflip to flat from 15ish feet. Check it out, its a good watch.
Strength in Numbers High Speed Shot
Brendan Semenuk slays all that lies in from of him. Here you can relive 5 seconds of his life in about two minutes. This is a shot from Anthill films new film Strength in Numbers, I'll post the full trailer later, and so you can check that out. After their last movie, follow me, this has a lot to live up to, but I'm sure it will be sick.

ANTICIPATION Pt. 2
The mecca of mountain biking, Whistler Mountain Bike Park in Whistler, BC opens today, and while the snow is still on the ground after a long season of skiing, four dudes are out their shredding A-line. Crisp filming, flowy and fast riding.
