 Though the sounds of an even being held here would be cool, Why does an event need to be held at every riding spot to show how cool it is? Why can't they just build and ride at there own pleasure. After all they did say it was a place to unwind and get away from racing.

 Of course its not impossible.. It does not make it right though. 'Real' Mtbing is not about crowd pleasing, circus like events. You dont need a f-ing crowd and some premium hotdog sponsors to ride well and live it

 It doesnt look like he is clipped in. Look at the last 10 seconds of the film when Dan dismounts he doesnt unclip he just takes his feet off the pedals. Plus you would have to be insane to clip in on this line...F THAT!

 @ el-nombre look at the last jump Gee's bike pull him down on the lip you can tell he has just caught the lip, I'm not putting him down in anyway at all just didnt expect Dan to be the jumper that he is.

 Yeah, i realise he didn't make the last one too well but Dan didn't get it perfect either. Apart from that one, you can't really tell. But yeah i never really knew Dan was into the big stuff as much as Gee. It's no real surprise that he's pretty smooth though having ridden WC 4x for a while.

 Dan was the one that got Gee and rachel riding in the first place. Gee has been in the spotlight more but thats it. Watching this video and talking about how one jump was not landed perfectly IS nitpicking. I did not aim my comment at a single person either so you in fact are the one known as Richard..

 talk about state the obvious LOL Dan is the oldest and did start out in BMX yeah yeah we all know the story about the atherton's but thanks for the attempt at the history lesson. just to point out to you if you look at the video it was not just one I just used to most obvious to point it out to your incapable mentality. If you read my original comment all i said was that Dan was smoother which he was and second that he only just made the last jump which he did. it's typical of PB when you make a comment you always get some tool who has to put a negative spin on your comment so please do me and the rest of the site a favour and go delete yourself from life or just this site would be nice. idiot.

flag neale1978 (Jan 1, 2013 at 8:02)
 Classy stuff. You really did this one with some feeling behind it. Pointing out that Dan or Gee dident land all the jumps perfectly is slightly rubbish to say the least considering what the film as a whole is all about and so in actuality thats where any negativity began.

" run along to mammy and go get your ass wiped"

This was a special moment, thanks for that. Made me laugh a little and it really shows a thing or two.

"happy new year. WANKER"

Thank you very much, and the same to you x
