I've heard in song at 4:32 that !metallica! even sang his name - "soderstrom!!!" Don't you hear it?

kaijumps (Nov 11, 2012 at 9:41)

thought the exact same thing

Dmtb (Nov 11, 2012 at 9:58)

He is saying Soderstrom and then pull for you a little bit after...

skierdud89 (Nov 11, 2012 at 11:20)

It's unreal how much steeze he has. Dare I call him the Mike Aitken of FMB?

ha n here i thought i was having late night editing hallucinations!!

larryssman7 (Nov 11, 2012 at 13:32)

at 4:32 it sounds like "soderstrom has been owning you!"

rhiwfawrdirt (Nov 11, 2012 at 14:20)

i think he would have won if he put a backflip combo in

Konanemia (Nov 11, 2012 at 15:45)

00:09 from left to right: Montgomery, Pilgrim and Messere... oh wait!! its a kid that looks like Messere!

Brad-G (Nov 11, 2012 at 15:59)

that one kid actually looks exactly like pilgrim

jomne (Nov 11, 2012 at 17:09)

Brett really deserved thos forst place! Been riding like a boss the whole season! Congratz dude!

mattboltz (Nov 12, 2012 at 4:45)

i had a feeling brett was going to win, so stoked to finally see him on top of the podium!

I feel like Soderstrom is under judged alot. He always throws the best tricks and end up in 2nd or 3rd. On that note i wanna see a red bull video of a game of B.I.K.E between Soderstrom and Semenuk.

WildandFree101 (Nov 11, 2012 at 12:50)

I completely agree! What about that 360 double he pulled on that last jump? The dude throws 3 nacs and double whips like they are nothing. Ahh well...a game of B.I.K.E would be suuuuuwweeetttt. I have no idea who I would want to have win though; they are both, in my opinion, the best riders. I love their style.

Yeah, kids don't know how to rock these days.

levy666 (Nov 11, 2012 at 9:04)

True, true

shaun77r (Nov 11, 2012 at 12:00)

Great edit! ANY Metallica song pumps me up to ride way more than all of that new wave electronic dub-step sh*t. Now if it didn't just snow 2 feet last night...

If that was the final run between rheeder and soderbomb then I would disagree on the result. Other than that, pretty sick to watch even with the alright music

larryssman7 (Nov 11, 2012 at 13:36)

+10000

mtriquelme (Nov 11, 2012 at 10:08)

rheeder: "first place, my first first place" congratulations man, deserved first place

DHMTBMATT (Nov 11, 2012 at 11:54)

soderstrom = biggest lad ever

Dirty27 (Nov 12, 2012 at 5:53)

Soderstrom is Chuck Norris in a bike truth and how the hell did he end up in 3ed judges might have been a lil drunk at this one. Dude throw dub whips and 360 whips not to mention that world record for longest held nac on a bike to date. Stoked for rheeder getting his first 1st place. Game of bike would be sick but do it rheeder Vs. Brandon and Soderstrom Vs. Mike Mo and the winners battle in the final Trek vs.Specialized!

METALLICA is from SF & are the bay area thrash metal gods! get it!?

synaptonaut (Nov 11, 2012 at 21:45)

METALLICA are from LA...I don't get it.

hit-n-run (Nov 12, 2012 at 8:35)

Metallica originated in LA, but they moved to SF in order for Cliff Burton to come into the band in 1982. SF is where it really started the band.

as far as my "get it?!" comment, there were a lot of haters posting earlier that didn't know why METALLICA was chosen for the video. the bands history is predominately SF based. made sense to me.

kanioni (Nov 11, 2012 at 14:54)

Oh my some people get pissed off when they don't get their daily dose of dubstep. On the topic of riding, I still don't understand how Söderström can pull off those 3 inverts so constantly.

tendresse FL (Nov 11, 2012 at 15:43)

Soderstrom = best style ever.

russianredneck (Nov 11, 2012 at 18:09)

Messere's helmet always looks too big for his head

yeahbro (Nov 11, 2012 at 9:04)

Wish there would have been for clips of head to head footage that's what makes this contest unique and the video kinda took away from that

warganicc (Nov 11, 2012 at 11:40)

Stoked for Rheeder! more than deserved it

deadpool1 (Nov 11, 2012 at 10:18)

Yeah for sure. This footage is super raw. Looking forward to day 2. KILL IT.

YEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Big Jumps and proof that Metallica used to not suck, what more do you need?

KocioLek (Nov 11, 2012 at 9:40)

Love Music !

MericanRadness (Nov 11, 2012 at 10:10)

ALLOUT!!!!!!! Another banger, thanks!!

Soderstrom is Chuck Norris in a bike

Jaydenfarley (Nov 11, 2012 at 20:08)

METALLICA!

mcdonaldacm (Nov 12, 2012 at 8:26)

Solderstrom is so layed back!

shicksmack (Nov 13, 2012 at 19:15)

Steezy nacs from Soderstrom, great edit!

yoshuahill (Nov 13, 2012 at 18:09)

what song is ??

GenesisBiker (Nov 11, 2012 at 12:30)

oh man those invert 360s are something i will masturbate to later

bcridin101 (Nov 11, 2012 at 23:15)

I could use a cheaper / less virus filled alternative as well..

How did Andrew Taylor get his own competition? I understand he is pretty good on a bike, but that dude is a grade A jerk. I have met him, ridden with him, and seen him at the bar all in one day, and I can't believe people want him representing their companies. The contest was sick and its good to see Rheeder finally take away a win, just make it the McCaul showdown or something cause those guys are cool, and AT is a real a-hole.

Pininator (Nov 11, 2012 at 14:28)

So, he's a jerk and a real a-hole yet not one example to tell us why.......are you sure it was HIM that was the jerk/a-hole??? Maybe...just maybe...it was you??

ptguy123 (Nov 11, 2012 at 14:51)

Dude Andrew is one of the nicest guys out there. You're the asshole for saying that. I've met him too and he is just a cool guy who likes to have fun and shred. His signature no-hand-tuck is one of the most dialed in the sport and he works hard to put on this contest every year and rep it for the West coast, Bay, and mountain biking in general.
