Tread The Movie 

I remember Tread and Re Tread. Thanks Hans Rey!

Just wait til you figure out; this film makes a strange loop. A most excellent adventure, Mr Rey. ❤

This is so cool. I was literally joking with my dad yesterday about how you can find anything on RU-vid. My dad did a basement remodel several years ago an got rid of all our VHS tapes. Tread was among them. I was so into mountain biking in the early 90's. Lived it really. I still love biking but those years 88-95 or so where such a great time to be a mountain biker.

In 2000 I saw this video for the first time at friend’s house. Thanks to you and Greg Herbold this is what started my love affair with mountain bikes. It wasn’t until 2003 I got my first real mountain bike (titanium grey colored Trek 6000) that I saved up for all summer. 20+ years later, the bikes changed, the trails have changed, and the gear is better but this is still the ultimate road trip that I’ve been trying to copy all these years. I’ve ridden in some really cool places and next year am planning an Epic Colorado mountain trip over the continental divided looking to capture that awesome vibe in this movie.

Totally love this video. I remember when Greg Herbold would stop by a hobbyshop where I worked part time and he would give me stuff from Rock Shox and Onza when he was in town. I always helped him find his rc car parts cause the shop (Sheldon's Hobbies in San Jose, Ca.) had almost every part available for his cars he owned. It was pretty cool seeing him go behind the counter and just pick out his parts like he worked there. Super cool cat Greg was and probably is today.

My favourite MTB film, many thanks for the amazing memories and motivation.

Thanks Han this incredible

So glad to have this inspiring piece back under my eyes to enjoy! What a gem, how it takes me back to the late 90's my prime inspirational days! This is a historical document. Thanks Hans Rey!

The 90's were awesome for mountain biking. I worked in a bike shop at the time. It seemed like every week something new was being developed. Some of it was great, some of it was terrible.

Haven't seen this in years. The Member Berries are freakin real.

Legend !

I think I still have this on VHS. First time I saw pro riders on video was this one.

I loved this movie! And I love all these comments! Yes to everything! Disk wheels! Skin suits! Piranha necklaces! Epic hair! Yeti team colours! Aluminium! Dave's Chain Device! Manitou rear suspension! Hippity hoppity over the rocks! This was the age of legends and heroes. This is where it all got real. Thanks for sharing. I've been dying to hear the insano opera song again.

Thankyou for uploading this.

Hans ray the savior ! With the no voice over version aswell !

Thank you so much for posting this! I used to own the tape and have no idea where it is…

Thanks for sharing this. Watched countless times with friends before we'd ride. You and Greg inspired many rides during my teenage years! Thank you.

1993 : - Tomac goes down Kaprun in a Black Suit - Gary got the „Attitude“ - A Ponytailed Pioneer from Switzerland didn’t need no roads . - 11 year old me just wanted a Mag21 und Tioga Wheeldiscs . Good Times ! Danke an Hans Rey und alle Pioniere !

Milt’s Diner is still here!

Dude, how many advertisements? Nobody begrudges you monetizing this great film but it destroys the viewing experience.

Cool movie ...

Brilliant, thanks Hans. Lost my VHS of this when my parents moved house. You said you'd be uploading at some point when you were in Newcastle a few years ago. Cheers 🍻

So happy I’m able to watch this movie again. This was the first time I saw a mountain bike adventure and instantly I knew it was going to be my favorite sport lifestyle. Since then I never stopped riding. I was able to get my first ride with Hans last year at the Sedona bike fest. What a thrilling experience.

i think i still have my #noFear skull cap somewhere in a closet. :)

Well now I don’t have to worry about trying to get the scratched dvd 📀 to work.

Have a framed original movie poster on the wall of my bedroom.

This was a great movie. Creative open. I miss the Oak Creek guys! Watn?

34:45 that hurts badly, in Lycra without protection. Good ol times, when the phrase was: „Nur die Harten kommen in Garten“. „Only the strong survive“

I bought this movie when it came out, shortly after I moved to Seattle, and watched it SO MANY times. My girlfriend and I went to NORBA nationals when it was in Spokane and were lucky enough to see Hans Rey ride, and he even signed her shirt, which she didn’t stop grinning about for what seemed like weeks. Thanks for posting this movie, can’t wait to rewatch it after all this time!

Omg!! Bring back my youth.. thanks for sharing this mr Rey!! Love it

ITS BUNNY RABBIT HANSY (lol that’s off Hammertime)

I watched this more times than I can count. Then I would go ride. (The music sounds different.)

yeh, i have the directors cut on VHS somewhere, Introduction to Hans, "the one with the accent and funny haircut"

This was my favourite bike movie growing up by far... I think I wore out the VHS copy I had...

@35:50 The bars were so narrow then the cable barrel adjuster of one brake lever was close to the other brake lever.

Most inspirational MTB video in all of cycling history....

I think I still have this movie! This is what got me so pumped on Mountain biking!

Yeeees! I've still got this on vhs but no vhs player.im sending z link to everyone i know who's never seen it

Man, Milt's looks different now. That slickrock section at around 5 minutes in - where is that?

Got my VHS copy in the cupboard still, not seen it for years!!! Awesome to have it RU-vid 👍🏻🤟🏻

Tread! Beautiful!!

I bought this at nineties on VHS and have loved this movie since I first saw it. My MTB is ’99 Super-V.

Thanks for that one ....i bought it in VHS 25 or 26 years agi......i was still one of your fan 😊😊😊

🔥KING REY🔥

Still have my VHS. No working VCR around though.

Great movie

First !

does anyone know where the second scene in the forest is filmed?

Hell Yeah!

Great Hans Rey and H-Ball!!!! love from Spain

59:36 I know exactly where this is, Plan d'Aiguille, Chamonix, they won't let you take bikes up there any more. A bit later it looks like you're about to ride down the Aiguille Du Midi arete which I'd bet my house you didn't ride as its guaranteed death if you lose traction and you can't ride down from there anyway, it's just unpisted snow and ice with 100m deep crevasses waiting to swallow you up.

Yes!!! Loved watching this as I grew up.

Thanks for sharing. I bought this VHS and still have it when it came out. I just don’t have a VHS player anymore. 😂.

I got into mountain biking in ... 1992, never seen the movie before 😂🤘 Thanks for uploading.

This was the most basic and best intro to a movie ever. Always wanted to do a knock off

nice!

Esse filme mudou minha vida nos anos 90! Obrigado por postá-lo, Hans! Agradecimentos do Brasil 🇧🇷

MTB Nostalgia Heaven.

*The* movie for all us vintage bikers that were alive and riding in the nineties. ❤

Auger N Hippety hop, hop the rock - conquer the object!

Would be great to see Hans and HB reunite for another one!

The very golds times MTB 💚👍🥲😂😂😂🙌

Good times 🤟🚴‍♀️💨

Thank you Hans, love it.

The first time I rode Poison Spider Mesa - right when that aerial shot ended at the beginning of Tread, I locked up my front tire - the bike went left and I went right - THANK GOD - and although all was well, I should have been wearing my brown shorts that day. LOL Total inspiration from Hans and Greg! I I wore my VHS copy out. Thank you, Hans!

Epic. Love seeing these guys ripping down Portal in Moab! And helicopter shots!I remember my Cannondale I had in 1993...Think of all the revolutionary bike advances since then! Tubeless, Dropper Posts, Disc Brakes, Carbon Fiber, Suspension, 27.5 & 29" Wheels, etc. Love to see Hans young!

Always loved this movie! Got in to mountain biking in the mid 90’s and used this one to boost morale of my squad.

OMG. V brakes, 26" wheels, hardtail and no drop post. It's amazing they can get 5 yards from the car!

got as far as 9.08 the cheesy dire straights sound track is unbearble
