Life Cycles Mountain Bike Movie

Movie Review: Life Cycles – A Mountain Bike Film by Stance Films

Life Cycles Mountain Bike MovieMountain biking films are quickly becoming big productions. With every start of the season, we are seeing more larger than life riding gracing the screens of our TV’s making us wish we could ride with skills we don’t have.

The latest to hit the TV of the Bike198 offices is the Blu-ray version of Life Cycles. Life Cycles takes a look at mountain biking and the life of a bike in a very unique way that I haven’t seen with other videos. While there is still some amazing riding from some of the best pros in the industry, Life Cycles also takes a look at the land and the sensation a bike creates in our lives over time.

With a dramatic start showing us the inside of major manufacturing facilities in the bike industry, Life Cycles turns to majestic landscapes that morph with the seasons as riders shred the dirt. In one of our favorite scenes, Cam McCaul and Brandon Semenuk session dirt jumps hidden in a hayfield. The riders float in and out of the crops without even being able to see the takeoffs and landings.

If we have one complaint about Life Cycles…it would be that there is too much slow motion. While we like to see exactly how the riders are moving, some full speed shots mixed in with the slow speed would give a better reference on how fast the pros really ride. However, the unique angles and artistry that you get with Life Cycles gives you a birds eye view into each riders unique style like we really haven’t seen in any other film. If you are into photography or video, you will really appreciate the amount of time and effort put into this film to get every scene exactly perfect.

Life Cycles mixes some of the best cinematography and imagery in any mountain bike film and mixes that with the raw emotion that comes with the bond between man and machine. When you add that to the clarity of Blu-ray…this movie is a must have in the video collection of any mountain biker.
