Flashback Film Friday – SPRUNG 5 is a Mountainbike Classic

If you’re in lockdown and are losing track – it’s Friday. SPRUNG 5 is a classic mountain film flashback from 2001 that will help you stay sane.

This was the last in the Sprung Series, by living legends Alex Rankin and Milan Spasic. They took BMX and Skate style, mixed it together with MTB racing, dirtjumping and freeride to make something new and exciting. It was a million miles away from lycra XC bandits and you could say they started a whole genre of MTB movies with the rough DIY mashup style, combining random clips that were seemingly thrown together in an effortlessly smooth and cool way. Not many have done it better.
