Review of Kranked 6: Progression
BIKEmagic, a UK-based publication, has posted up a review of Kranked 6: Progression for your reading pleasure.
The bits that stand out are the ones that are a bit different from the rest. Eric Porter’s segment in the Alps is one example, a melange of high alpine singletrack, DH race style mixed in with backflips, handplants and the like. Kirt Voreis comes up with a kind of combination of North Shore and BMX street, only on big boulders. And Steve Peat and Nathan Rennie rather subvert the whole thing by not building a trail at all, but showing how to ride one all the same.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Kranked series of mountain bike flicks, be sure to drop in and check out some footage in the shop. They’re worth the price of admission and, watching some of the early editions, you can see how much the sport has changed over the past decade.
