 @kevin-mcdand, finnrambo , i swear if you post another stupid comment like that i am going to find out where you live and slap the autism right out of you. The original song is by AVICCI not Adele, or pretty lights,(unless i am wrong someone with proper knoledge correct me) plus Adele is a far better signer that any of these recent pop "stars" out there, give her some respect, her songs are very good, just overused. And dont go everywhere calling people fat, that just makes you a intolerable douche bag.

ANYWAYS, thats some fast riding!! looks like a sick course!!!!

 I just had to get involved... remix is by Pretty Lights and also it is lame compared to the original which he released around 2006. If anyones wondering the whole basis of the song is from an Etta James sample taken from her song "Something's Got A Hold On Me".

 Finally Moving by Pretty Lights isnt the original either its a sample from
Judy Clay and William Bell song called private number and this came out in 1968 before both bends formed
nothing in the music we have today is origonal www.whosampled.com/sample/view/48784/Pretty%20Lights-Finally%20Moving_Judy%20Clay%20and%20William%20Bell-Private%20Number here is a link just to prove it

 DHr4life, I am that person with proper knowledge.

Finally moving is from Pretty Lights record Taking Up Your Precious Time which was released in 2006 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taking_Up_Your_Precious_Time)

As for the Avicii song: "Avicii's most notable song has been the single "Levels" which was released officially 28 Oct 2011"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levels_

I'm assuming that because you were unable to look it up yourself, youre probably not too good with numbers either so I'll help you out with the math.

2011 - 2006 = 5

As we can see, the Pretty Lights song was released about 5 years before Aviciis song. I dont thing Pretty Lights has time travel capabilities so the only logical answer is that he made his song before Avicii ripped it off.

Hell, even the remix in this video was released a few years before Levels.

now go listen to Pretty Lights cause he makes good music

flag BuckNasty44904 (Aug 26, 2012 at 9:34)
 I thought it was just me. A helmet cam needs to be pointed roughly toward the spot where the rider is looking, not down at the ground or up at the horizon. Rare for a GoPro sponsored athlete to have the angle wrong. Usually their setups are pretty spot-on.

 You can add me as well , you can forget that the music sucked, but man my neck......, we all love redbull (as a sponsor) but that's not what i wanted to see , I want to see the TRACK !!!!! ( +10°?) . but other than that great riding!

flag ErikDH8 (Aug 26, 2012 at 11:02)
 I use the chest mount, seems to get the best angle and you get to see the handlebars. Should be a sweet race, the course looks fun

flag groghunter (Aug 26, 2012 at 13:09)
 I have a horrible time getting the right angle when I shoot with the GoPro, haven't figured out the magic yet, though the the 960 setting definitely helps. Only mount i can get consistently right is the handlebar, but then the footage just looks like you put the gopro in a paint mixer, then kicked it down the hill.

flag paulwatt (Aug 26, 2012 at 14:05)
 if you shoot at the 960 setting, you can pick a 16x9 frame out of the 4x3 image, and you'll nail the angle, and have the ability to change the angle through the shot if you want.

 Sorry but I'm not a fan of this course.... It doesn't have enough technical sections and seems to be an all berm/jump trail.... Don't get me wrong it's still a rough course for 90% of us including me but this is the world champs....

flag Y0sh1 (Aug 26, 2012 at 18:20)
 Agreed. It's pretty much the opposite of Champery. Sure, on tracks like this and say, South Africa, you've still gotta absolutely pin it and have incredible flow to finish on the top step but I'd rather see them shred vertical walls of roots, rocks and whatnot for Worlds.

flag applewhat (Aug 26, 2012 at 19:19)
 This track certainly seems less technical than the rest of the world cup offerings, but it also looks like one of the most enjoyable to shred! This is probably one of the few I would actually have the confidence to mob down..

 Actually, its got a shed-load more steepness - the top of Leogang is really steep (though not as bad as Champery or Val di Sole). Plus they seem to have gone around some of the rooty sections at the bottom, which is a real shame as those are (or were) properly nuts. Scariest bit of the entire course though is all the electric cattle fencing on either side of the track - it is live and f$&k me does it hurt when you touch it :-D !!

 I'd rather see a race in ideal conditions than slop. In my humble opinion, it shows the general skills and fitness of the riders better and the riders go faster and more readily take it to the edge. I'm just not a fan of watching elite pro after elite pro sliding on their ass through slop. Danny Hart last year was of course an exception, but look at most of the other top guys that day--sliding on their asses!
