Rediculous article. If anything, the reason I stumbled on this article was because the movie hightened my interest in mountain biking.

I remember thinking during the whole movie that the image of mountain biking was being harmed so bad that it was even harder to take than watching the dude cut his arm off.

The only thing I thought was a little strange was the wasted energy doing half wheelies on the road. Other than that, the biking was pretty much just transportation, hardly ‘mt biking’ and really who cares about the image. It’s a good movie — though some of the shots with the chicks were a bit unrealistic.

Reality is stranger than fiction!!

Where does cutting off a limb with a blunt blade fit in your biking commandments? I got a mountain bike to ride to work so I can burn 300+ calories every day & I have fenders, bell, kick stand etc. on my mountain bike.

If they had shown a poser with a fancy bike in biking shorts, wearing all biking gear, it would have come across as a very bad thing to do… instead, it was portrayed as an excellent device to get one from point A to B in style.

im sorry but who ever wrote this article is a damn nutcase, idiot, monkey whatever you want to call them what the hell does it matter whether or not he rode with gloves, wore a helmet, or wore a backpack to YOUR dislike. By you writing this article, you can go to any movie and criticize if a kid gets on a skateboard, bike, rollerbades etc “Oh wait, no no no, you see what he’s wearing NOPE that could never happen no person wears knee pads that are that big” i mean really come on this is in no way harming the image of anything, and if you truly believe it is go watch some other movies and waste the time in your day to write another article about how you feel personally cause someone did the wrong thing or “dissed” your sport, and you bring up that page and you write them one strongly worded letter about how you didnt like it. I cant believe anyone would even consider putting this on the internet

Why was this article written?

You’re picking apart a trailer for a movie you have not seen for its inaccurate portrayal of your brand of helmet wearing, soft-tail riding smaller backpack wearing mountainbiker that should be offended by this trailer.
