Oh look it is possible to film an entertaining video without gratuitous cutties and brown pow or slashing moss bullshit. Nice effort from MindSpark and thanks to Rene Wildhaber for showing how its done

This is probably one of the better edits that has come about this year and right in time for xmas too. This is enjoyment of riding a bike to a tee! At least in my head it is.

Sounds like you have never tasted the glorious brown pow?

I was with Aaron and Rene when they filmed this. Rene would ride a section and Aaron and I would be in amazement with how fast he was. He would climb back up to where we were standing and tell us that he could do it faster or jump farther or do it better. It was great to watch and ride with someone of his caliber.

I've ridden a load of those trails, as have many others, but I didn't see any of that stuff he doubles up. Being that good you may as well be riding a different trail.

Found it hard to fully appreciate the excellent riding that René was doing as it cut to the next scene just as I was getting into what Rene was doing. Still enjoyed though, just would have enjoyed more if I could have seen more of what was going on.

René is a SRAM sponsored athlete, so he's got RS suspension on it. But it's still a Slash 9.
