During the Kokanee Crankworx Festival on July 19th, the GLC overlooking the Whistler bike park will host the world premiere event. The new film features 12 of your favourite riders that made the trip to the Freeride HQ in Nelson BC to edit their all time segment covering a decade of riding and filmmaking. Never before have the stars of NWD come together to choose their favourite shots, talk openly about the origins of freeriding and share some of the funny moments and behind the scenes out-takes from creating the game changing series of films.
Frorider and MTB Hall Of Famer Wade Simmons.
"The NWD series dropped the hammer on progression, so hard, that most of the riding still holds it's own years later. I've always thought NWD captured the true "all or nothing" lifestyle of freeriding." Aaron Chase
Chase in the hotseat, Westerlund behind the lens.
"Filming for the NWD series was a highlight of my career, watching all of the footage at the Freeride headquarters got me really excited to show fans the history and progression of the sport that I'm proud to be a part of." Jeff Lenosky
| The pure goal of this film is to fire up the riding community by putting all of our best shots from 10 years into one film, chosen & directed by the riders themselves. - Derek Westerlund |

Still some wikid action and riders of all those years, but Wade, Ritchie, Robbie B, and all the other big mountain riders that made these films showing us what was possible, totally inspiring.
I enjoy dirt jumping mtb at times but feel over saturated by it all, and I used to DJ too, some great riding and sequences for sure, but I love or connect more with big mountain or racing sequences, I could watch Wade, Ritchie and Robbie B Steve Rom, AC and the other big mountain freeride guys all day.
Brian Lopes and company with Cedric in British Columbia gorge "Have You Seen It" segment was great entertainment with the Yeti kidnapping the riders etc haha, The extra's of NWD 8! NWD did awesome extra's, almost enjoy extra's as much if not more than films.
Cheers NWD for not short changing us on supporting your DVDs, always felt like getting real value buying the DVD, long live the DVD in HD, BR or 3D...
But for me Wade rulz forever that Zocchi truck jump will forever be the best biggest and baddest & Ritchie Slayer and Wade together unforgettable sequences.
I'm buying this one as soon as its out, be great to see them all mashed together AWESOME..
