 I have noticed the strange phenomenon where fast and hard charging sports like skateboarding, MX etc use punk and metal as a soundtrack, people don't usually complain in the comments section that the music doesn't fit the clip. Hmmm... Why could this be...

 Looks like a killer place to ride, i like some electronic music, but i don't think that song was the best choice for this edit, sorry to be that guy.

 Suzanne Vega- Tom's Diner - the 'We should have left it well alone' remix. Good vid tho.
  • 4 1
 More like the 'I Wish I Hadn't Done So Much Redbull and Meth' remix. But, yeah...the riding was rad.

 Last time I did some meth and drank a RedBull, I didnt feel like that.. I woke up in the forest, but with no bike...

 Good location.
Good music.
Good photography.
Not so good video clip speed...

How much of all the videos we see are edited with the same or normal riding speed?...

 Are you complaining about the slo-mo or the clips being sped up? It all looked fairly normal to me... didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

 personally i did not enjoy the music, but the vid itself was sweet Big Grin

 Finding a song that everybody will like is nearly impossible...we came up with as there was a good flow fitting the riding well. We need suggestions for our new season ender...Drop your ideas if you want!

 Quite liked the song actually. Electro works pretty well for DH clips, have a look at I-F, Adult, Dexter, Vitalic. 'Human wreck' by Adult would have gone pretty well with this footy I think..

 Considering a normal riding speed, I can't even see a tree that is passing 20cm from the end of my handlebar. Filming a dowhniller at a normal speed it would be hard to tell if the colour observed was on a shirt or helmet.

 Come on. It is just a song. It does not say anything concrete, nor binding about the video, or reality of making it. There can be milion suggestions of music for the video and they will not change if it is good, or bad. Sometimes I don't even listen to the music, just watch and play my own. I already know that assessing a video, or any decisions, on the basis of background music can become highly risky. It helps, but it is not everything. I like the video, but to share an opinion about the trail, the builder would have to invite me to ride it. I am also quite sure that I wouldn't look so perfectly as the rider, so it's all a bit of art. I like the whole idea and dynamics, but there has to be a considerable dose of trust for the producers before judging and certainly time, will and opportunity to watch it. Afterall any video may become a VOD only after checking it out many times.

 From seeing this guy ride in person.. It's not very sped up. If you ride Bromont a lot you know how fast the locals really are up there. Every trail is full charge mode the whole way down.

 Dude a song can make or break a vid for me if its bad music I generally dont finish watching it you telling me youd watch a shred vid with Bieber or miley playing in your ear? Because I wouldn't

 Of course that I can´t say anything about music, location, riding style or any other subjective thing.
I was talking about the too much speed up of the final edition.

I still thinking about how many videos we see have been too much accelerated... Sure that sometimes it´s more important to edit something spectacular than 100% realistic. And I´m afraid that these one has been too much speed up. But, where is the limit?

 well... besides everything... i still don't know exact title, anybody help ?

 For those who wanted to know the name of the song: Dirty Impact vs Royal XTC - Tom's Diner (DJs From Mars Club Remix)

 thanks for not using slo-mo. I cant stand edits where people feel the need to slow down every turn. you did a killer job.

 did not read any of the other comments

started to watch it and thought - googles on -> check / music -> hmm, not my favorite soundtrack / then riding kicked in -> excellent, i dont care about the music and somehow it did fit the clip (my personal opinion)

bring on more of these videos - less slow motion and more fast riding -> yeah! ...and then i don´t care about the music ;-)

 Personally I think the music choice is not super relevant in the overall scheme of things but I happened to enjoy the song. I'm so sick of hearing metal and punk or whatever else people gravitate to. I thought the song meshed really well with what was happening in the video.

 Great video! Bromont FTW. Watching this makes me want to get back out there. Too bad the season is over.

 I would like Eye of the tiger sing by a gospel choir for your next edit. Oh yeah just forgot, If John can wear a pink Gstring that be nice too. Sick vid, Bromont looks great, actually better than ever!

 Great riding. Makes me want to go to Quebec again, this time with a bike. Music fit perfect in my opinion. Took me a few lines to figure out which old song they had remixed. Great looking bike also.
