 Only a specialized punk would prefer this over Soderstrom's. However, still good to see Sherminator rides..

 The second song, i found it just a week ago and raved to my friends how it would be featured in a VOD or sweet PB edit soon.
Is anyone else feeling like PB videos are jacking your tunes?

 Totally and vice versa! seems like all the new music i put on my ipod I hear on pinkbike first

 before I've been able to stay a few months ahead of the PB videos, but now it seems only a matter of weeks if not days before the majority of my newest playlist has been used up

 Happens to me all the friggin time. But then again like stated above, Ive also found some pretty kick ass tunes through mtb vids.

 that cant be all shot with just gopros was it? the backgrounds were too in focus and most of the angles weren't even that wide.

flag moloch (Jul 22, 2012 at 8:29)
 the use of go pros wasn't mandatory. so i'm sure they used other cameras

flag trickn0l0gy (Jul 22, 2012 at 9:59)
 nope. they used RED cam equipement. that's quite the difference! some of the angles have a quality that a simple gopro will never reach.

 The video is absolutely felicitous, but the santigold song "desperate youth" for a bikevideo is decadent.
