i got it for xmas

however i was very disappointed in it

the cinematgoraphy wasnt very good, the soundtrack sucked, half of the riding sucked, and the editing sucked too

all in all, bjorn was rellying on this new film concept and big budget rider line up to bring in the money

the only postive is the trails were nice and original, but that was the riders cred, not the film makers

I got it end of November.

It's pretty good. Soundtrack on its own sucks, but it flows with the movie.

Some of the riding was weak,like porters handplant and pretty much all the Voires section... but most of it was stellar.

I loved Boyko, Leech, Rennie/Peaty, Kinrade, and Romo.

peat/rennie was the only shite section imo

I've not seen the film but I've seen the bit from Innerleithen, which is a local trail:

http://www.radical-films.com/zune/Kranked6-01.mov

and having ridden it all (as an XC rider) I'm surprised to see it in Kranked. The first part is freeride-lite and the bit where you see them riding the drops is actually the last it of the XC trail. This is the biggst of them:

I'm not surprised that it doesn't look that impressive. There are much bigger jumps and more difficult parts on the DH trails. I guess they just went for the stuff that looked more scenic.

I'm also thinking they could have been more creative:

e.g. this photo (also from the XC trail):

was of this:

and you can actually see me taking this photo during the video (I'm in the middle of the run up wearing a blueish top)

you can never have too much collective, though i dont think the way collective presented itself should be classified as a style of film, its just been made the way films should be,.... properly, so 'collective rip offs' as people call them are imo, in fact not collective tryhards, but instead just a movie that doesnt work.

just my 0.02p
