 How do you not shit your pants when you don't find the pedals on a double whip until you are one foot off the ground???
That is a damn cool vid!

 WOW
I've been watching Toms work for a while and i was excited a couple months a go when he got a hold of that camera and mentioned some up and coming mountain bike work. So cool! The riders almost look like models in a storefront window slowly spinning on display. Definitely the best slo-motion video I've ever seen. Now i have some more inspiration for some DJ shots tomorrow!

Great filming keep up the good work!

 This should be a requirement for every future MTB event. Would love to see some DH sections from Saint Anne slowed down that much. That was just mesmerizing.

 I think Dlongb13 has a point, I loved seeing the fully extened Canned out Tailwhip, it's amazing to see exactly how every trick is thrown and the determination in all the riders eyes.

 Casio had an affordable camera that could do high speed recording, I had the Exilim EX-F1 for a while and it got pretty okey in 300fps and 640x480. I got a few slowmotion shoots in the middle of this video http://www.pinkbike.com/video/178654/ for those of you interested.

 Apart form having balls of steel and not having to worry about making it to work the next day its the best way to learn, watch the pros in slo mo and see how little time you have even on big shit like that!
