What's your favorite section from a mountain bike video?
I feel like I can pretty easily narrow down my bmx favorites to a top 5 or so but mtn bike sections are a lot harder for me to pick out. Some goodies that come to my mind: Athertons in Earthed 1, Michael Ronning I think from Chainsmoke, and Darren Miller from Clappin Yo Dome.
Discuss?
The Whistler section from seasons, Mike Hopkins seggy in Life Cycles.

Hammer time and NWD 2, thanks for not making me feel like such a dinosaur! Glad other people have even heard of these slightly older titles (or way older with Hammer Time).

Truth be told: I was 14 when Hammer Time came out. I had to buy it three times. Once because I lost it, but the other two because I wore out the tape. It completely blew my little grom brain apart.

Shit me, there's definitely a few.
The 2007 Champery sections from Earthed 5 and F1RST, along with the Sam Hill segs in both.
Brendan's section in 3MG is top banana.
The Iron Horse section from Earthed 2 as well.
In fact, Ben Reid at Llangollen in Speed Kings too...

Was wade's part in Shift to Kickstart My Heart? That whole video was pretty damn rad, I can't believe I forgot about that. There's some bangers in there but Wade ending it was the best.

The section in Chainsmoke 2 where Todd Snider has got his Intense drifting fully sideways to the Deftones' Headup going on 11 is pure celluloid Nirvana.
Wade Simmons section in NWD3.
Coastal Crew's section in Kranked 8 for pure riding awesomeness.
The NWD greatest hits DVD is pretty entertaining BTW.

Id have to say the whistler seggy in the seasons, and the BC seggy in roam are my absolute favorites. I liked the punta san carlos seg in follow me as well.

I rewatched Life Cycles the other night and I can't believe that no one else has mentioned the changing of the seasons segment where he (I'm not sure who the rider is.) rides that awesome bar drag trail and gets chased down by the changing seasons.

Holy Crap. Yes, yes I do. Thank you for pointing that out instead of letting me look like an idiot. I'll edit that. I guess the seasonal aspect of the scene blinded me.

Sam Hill: Hypnosis
Sam Hill: Earthed Five (every shot of him, but if I had to pick one segment I'd choose the scene where he crushes it and then hits the tree on the grown over trails at Mt. Sainte Anne or Bromont or wherever that is. That scene might as well be a riding tutorial)
Earthed Two Madcatz in Socal
Earthed One Madcatz in Bromont
P.S. if you chose anything from the NWD series that came out after 2003, you' are definitely on the kill list. Ditto if you picked any of the Collective or Anthill series. Hate hate hate hate hate.
