Some people seem to overlook is 3focus. Its fast paced, has awesome music (imo) and never fails to get me stoked for riding. I also fall into the Life Cycles haters camp. I very much appreciate the film and recognise the incredible effort but it mostly fails to make a connection with me. I enjoy aspects such as the factory setting and dh bike repairs, as well as some awe inspiring cinematography but other sections I find frustrating. I think the pace becomes tiresome, and this could be avoided if not for the fact there is little story to engage with. Watching a film like 3 minute gaps, the interviews are far more intriguing than the Life Cycles voice over.
