It is easy to see that summer is coming here on northern hemisphere, because the traffic to our humble ski blog is decreasing. Skiers are looking forward to do summer activities, such as mountain biking. Just like many other skiers, we also go riding bikes, surfing, trekking, paddling and doing many other summer sports. As we mentioned few weeks ago, we will write about those sports during the summer, but we are not going to forget skiing even on summer time. Notice that in may countries you can ski until the mid summer. A good example is that you can do heli-skiing until the end of June in Sweden.
I worked two years in Switzerland where they have one of the best mountains for mountain biking. I lived in Basel city and I had plenty of time to do things I like. As we couldn’t go riding every evening, I used to watch a lot of ski and mountain biking films with my friend Ilkka. I watched all New World Disorder mountain biking films through many times. I really got hooked on those films. They are for sure the best mountain biking films on earth.
There are already eight New World Disorder films available and they are all great, but for some reason I prefer those first, second, third (Freewheel Burning) and fourth (Ride The Lightning) ones. May be they are just so real and not too much “Hollywood style”. In those third and fourth films you can see Bobby Root riding wheelie. Oh boy, that is something cool. The first time I saw Bobby Root riding his bike was really staggering. I had never seen anyone riding wheelie on 70 mph. Come on! It is over 110 km/h!
I remember riding my bike in Swiss mountains with speed around 80 km/h which is about 50 mph. That was fast for me on mountain bike. 20 mph more and doing a wheelie.. no, not for me. Bobby Root can do it. It is just amazing. Check out the video below and see how Bobby Root rides 70 mph with his front tire up in the air.
Just imagine what happens if you fall when riding a bike 70 mph. Bobby Root and his wheelie is just one of those great clips in the New World Disorder films. There is a lot of great riding and riders like Josh Bender, Cedric Gracia, Richie Schley, Wade Simmons, Robbie Bourdon, Carlin Dunne and John Cowan. Check out New World Disorder clips in YouTube and consider getting those films. If you’re into watching mountain biking films, New World Disorder films won’t disappoint you.
You can order New World Disorder films from Amazon.Com. Here is the latest one. Notice that Bobby Root’s wheelie is not on this film but in the first New World Disorder film which you can also find in Amazon.
