Movie Review - New World Disorder 6 - Unchained

This is a good movie, but not a great movie. This is from 2005. It has a lot of big air in it - which doesn't interest me. But it often has multiple takes showing a rider crashing a few times before making a trick. There are some great crashes, not huge damage to the riders, but where you can see where he messed up a line and should have bailed. But he tried to hold it together. Unsuccessfully. We've all been there.



There's a nice section of Lenosky (sic) riding in Paris and New York with some nice tricks and some nice misses. You can see where he uses some of his usual style: bar spins, riding backwards.



There's a bunch of Red Bull Rampage -style riding, which doesn't interest me.



There's a lot of Whistler bike park, which is only a little interesting and there's plenty of North Shore, which I really like.



I'd watch this again.



It was a Netflix rental. I think it's new to Netflix. Which is great, since I've seen their entire catalog of mtn bike movies.

More Comments on the Garmin 405

I have, like, 3 problems with the HRM on my Garmin Forerunner 405:

1. It doesn't work with the equipment at my gym. So, I wear my Polar HRM when I'm at the gym and my Garmin on the trail. Ugh. That alone, means it won't be my only HRM. So, now I'm talking about multiple devices.
2. The strap is rough. The fabric is rough and I've got a little wear mark on my skin where the length adjustment is. I don't want it to mark me. My pelt will be worth less.
3. It's the old fashioned, molderd plastic that's just not as comfortable as the fabric Polar belts.

On the plus side, I haven't had any issue with it making a connection.

Anyway, since I use the HRM as a training tool and the GPS as a gadget, maybe I should have gone with the Polar.
