I just saw Universe 2 yesterday. Loved it. Here are my 2 cents:
Some of the skills demonstrated in #2 are even more
impressive than in #1. It's as if #1 is outdated because of
the improvements in the riders and equipment. For instance,
it seems much more common now for riders to pull off 6'
drops onto flat concrete. This shows up not only in muni but
also in freestyle and trials.
U2 also pays more att'n to indoor freestyle, which is a
nice add'n.
The riders who appear a lot in both movies have clearly
gotten... awesomer. It makes me wonder just how far the
sport can possibly go -- is there a ceiling?
The camerawork and artwork of #2 are even better (esp the
computer graphics in the beginning). I was wowed. I esp.
liked the helmet cam that showed the rider's face.
I preferred the music of #1.
I can't wait for #3. And can I get #1 on DVD?
