1,500 frames per second. I thought they were talking about bicycle production in Taiwan.

They are not amateurs - Taiwan is 1700 frames per second.

COY - comment of the year!!

going from slightly dated statistics but apparently worldwide we make 4-5 bikes a second, not quite 1,500 but still pretty impressive!

Its miller time pinkbike.

Well that comment pretty much wins the internets for today!

Not with my I9's though

@kubaner: Use your tires bruh

Given that flopping spoke, its a great way to bring your wheel out of true as well.

cravks (Sep 21, 2016 at 4:41)

My toughts exactly. I'll give it a try!

That's a Millers - not really real beer...

ivankvkharkiv (Sep 21, 2016 at 6:01)

Next time I drink beer I'll open it only in such way....))))

kurtz433 (Sep 21, 2016 at 8:52)

@Rubberelli: I'd love to see 1500fps focusing on a rider's mtb wheelset through a rock garden. I'm sure the spoke flex is pretty crazy too.

Rubberelli (Sep 21, 2016 at 12:05)

@kurtz433: I would like to.see that as well! Given that carbon doesnt flex and carbon and AL wheels don't feel too radically diffrent from one another, I would guess not too much flexing. But who the hell knows except these guys with 1500fps cameras.

Back in 07 I shot some test footage at around 1200fps for archery tuning and I can say that the playback of this footage looks like it was shot closer to 120fps or else the playback speed is cranked-up. If we were actually watching playback at the native 1500fps you would see all kinds of crazy stuff and a single jump might actually take closer to 1min to view a whole 3 seconds of live action.

prenderville (Sep 21, 2016 at 14:01)

I think I'm among that special bunch of people which actually understood this comment fully

Skurploosh (Sep 21, 2016 at 19:28)

Im guessing they shot it at 1500fps, but they just tweeked it at various speeds in the final cut

ezwheels (Sep 21, 2016 at 21:43)

@Skurploosh: yeah so...that's what I was suggesting... when I suggested they might have cranked-up the playback speed. Typical motion picture shot and played back at a native fps for our brains to not wig-out on is closer to 24fps; an event like a 3 sec jump, with a radical-ass tail whip, shot at 1500 fps and played back at regular speed would take about 187.5 exceedingly unflattering and painfully boring seconds to view.

....i'll turn off my nerd cap now.

dietersanchez (Sep 26, 2016 at 15:37)

My DSLR (or SLT, rather) records at 60fps and I don't see much difference, which is why I call shennanigans and agree with you, looks more like 120fps or 240 even, at least for a second or two. Rocks bouncing and spoke wobbling looks more like shutter speed tweak with 120fps

If you guys could loan this cam to Rupert and Brandon that would be great thanks.

the fps in this video can cure cancer

felicello (Sep 21, 2016 at 4:02)

do I see a 9gager here?

hardyk (Sep 21, 2016 at 8:25)

@flexdeluxe: yes

leopaul FL (Sep 23, 2016 at 7:41)

i knew i'd find one here

2wheelzgood (Sep 20, 2016 at 16:19)

did his bottle of beer just finish on that wheel?

cuban-b (Sep 20, 2016 at 22:08)

i don't think my internet is fast enough to see how slow this is.

nikoniko (Sep 20, 2016 at 17:22)

hahhahahahh I totally misunderstood 1500 frames per second, I was expecting to see a factory mass producing bike frames! hahahhahah Super cool video!

Samfrikinhowe (Sep 20, 2016 at 19:42)

what a surprise its pretty good but ultimately anything more than 60 is unnecessary

gordonmacintosh (Sep 28, 2016 at 7:46)

The colour grading/detail is f*cking insanely sharp! Hellz yeah to the editior!

I love passing that sign. It means I'm either getting close to an awesome weekend at Squampton or Whistler. Or both sometimes.

DaFam4mDena (Sep 20, 2016 at 19:36)

A minute five is five seconds too long

davidsimons (Sep 21, 2016 at 3:12)

What does it look like? 1500 frames per secomd? Dunno, the Giant factory on a busy day maybe?

Firmann94 (Sep 21, 2016 at 5:00)

Slowmo + my bad internet signal. It's done

Firmann94 (Sep 21, 2016 at 7:14)

This slowmo + my bad internet signal, it's done !!!

No slomo only raw yeew

Marcusthefarkus (Sep 20, 2016 at 17:03)

I've wanted something to end so badly

kinlodesigns (Sep 20, 2016 at 19:03)

Raw > slow mo

ibishreddin (Sep 20, 2016 at 19:48)

Too much slomo

outside750 (Sep 20, 2016 at 19:00)

tuck those knees on your whips.....

fercho25 (Sep 20, 2016 at 17:32)

note to whoever filmed this the fact that you own a very expensive high fps camera does not means you dont have to properly frame a shot.

dhkl (Sep 20, 2016 at 16:09)

I actually found that quite disappointing. I wish they had edited it so we could see better how the bike flexes. Or correct whip technique. The spoke twang was alright, I guess.

rallyimprezive (Sep 20, 2016 at 16:34)

I agree with ya. I'd have loved to see more shots of the suspension working, the frame flexing, and certainly, like you said, slow-mo of a complete whip, from takeoff to landing.

davemays (Sep 20, 2016 at 16:05)

Skidding on trails isn't cool

That whip though, is very very cool

Grutten (Sep 20, 2016 at 16:48)

Depends on if you help build the trails and repair them or not.
