We’ve looked out the best feature-length MTB films that you can either watch for free, buy or rent online to help keep you from losing your mind during lockdown.

Gamble

What do you get when Steel City Media and Creative Concept come together with the best downhill talent outside the tape? Gamble, that’s what. With custom-built lines, or just plain flat out riding on some of our favourites, Gamble has to be seen to be believed.

Bruni’s Gamble line would feature as one of the stages at the Madeira round of the Enduro World Series.

Featuring the likes of Steve Peat, Loic Bruni, Sam Blenkinsop, Connor Fearon, Brook MacDonald and many more.

Deathgrip

Deathgrip did a lot of slam the island of Madeira as a riding destination into our collective conscious. The creative result of Brendan Fairclough and Clay Porter coming together to ride some of the most spectacular scenery in planet Earth.

If Brendog and Ratboy hammering Schladming doesn’t get you fired up, we can’t help you.

Wheel Love

Proof positive that you don’t need to go far from home to have fun on your bike. Filmed in the shadow of the Peak District while the leaves and bracken were orange, Wheel Love is all about home turf.

Featuring the full 50to01 crew of Bryceland, Loosedog, Nerukar, Evans, Cofano and Sambo.

Forwards Sideways

Wheel Love with all the dials turned up to eleven gives you Forwards Sideways. The crash reel from this film alone is a six minute edit in itself.

Watch the 50to01 lads up their game big time.

Tea and Biscuits

The latest in British bike violence. Misspent Summers and Tommy C collaborated to bring you a very British riding film, with the odd overseas riding spot.

No trails were harmed in the making of Tea & Biscuits.

A Slice of British Pie

Dirt Magazine and Tom Caldwell came together in what can be best described as a feature length film of UK riders pushing the limits until they crash, which they do.

Regional rivalry goes through the roof as North, South, East and West compete to be the loosest on track.

A Bigger Slice of British Pie

Take a winning formula and add some extra loose riders to the existing list and you get a larger slice of British bicycle violence.

Less regional rivalry but more limits being pushed.

The Biggest Slice of British Pie

All good things must come to and end, but the British Pie series wasn’t going to go out without a bang. That bang came literally courtesy of a Stormer APC that’s usually used to take down helicopters. Phil Atwill would use it to upset Ratboy’s picnic…

I Just Want to Ride

A complete change of tack now…

Lael Wilcox is one of the leading ultra-endurance riders out there, and I Just Want to Ride follows her journey from on the Tour Divide route and the challenges that riders face as they try to reach the Mexican border.

Return to Earth

Featuring some serious talent, mostly from North America with a few notable exceptions, Anthill Films’ Return to Earth is a look into how riding a bike can help us immerse ourselves in the present.

Vision

Wideopenmag alumni and all-round pinner Vero Sandler, with a little help from Adidas and Five Ten, came up with a line of her own at Revolution Bike Park and heads out with some very fast riders to some of the best riding spots out there.

Not Bad

Thirty days of bike nonsense in New Zealand doesn’t sound bad at all, does it? A full mixed back of natives and riders from far flung places converge to make yet another Anthill classic.

Features Andrew Shandro, Rene Wildhaber, Brook MacDonald, Ryan Howard, Brett Rheeder, Cam McCaul and Brandon Semenuk.

Not2Bad

The follow up to Not Bad traded the lush greenery of New Zealand for the sun and dust of southern Spain. The cast from Not Bad return to Spain and are joined by some very fast siblings in the form of Dan, Gee and Rachel Atherton, as well Casey Brown.

Alright Butt

Featuring the likes of Leigh Johnson, Manon Carpenter, Joe Smith, Nikki Whiles and plenty more, Alright Butt is a film dedicated to showing off what Wales can offer in terms of trails and riders.

Blood Road

Rebecca Rusch is, like Lael Wilcox, one of the leading ultra-endurance athletes out there and is affectionately know as the Queen of Pain.

Her father, an F4 Phantom pilot in Vietnam, was shot down over Laos and the video follows Rebecca and her riding partner Huyen Nguyen as they tackle the 1200-mile Ho Chi Minh trail to find the crash site.

Won’t Back Down

The legend that is Steve Peat just released his film with Clay Porter and John Lawlor for free. You can now watch Wan’t Back Down for no pounds and no pence, and see how Sheffield Steel himself got to where he is today.

WON’T BACK DOWN: The Steve Peat Story FULL FILM from Clay Porter on Vimeo.

3 Minute Gaps

Hark back to when feature length films about downhill were rare and barely any team had a World Cup weekend edit… Clay Porter’s 3 Minute Gaps might well be the longest in the tooth of all the videos here, but it stands up as an absolute classic.
