anyone else see "force of nature" and think it was a whistler video?

michaeldorian (Feb 16, 2014 at 21:57)

I did. Link bait. Hahaha

JoshJeffrey (Feb 17, 2014 at 5:06)

I totally went on that thought.

WhistlerMountainBikePark (Feb 17, 2014 at 8:44)

JoshJeffrey (Feb 19, 2014 at 5:06)

Hi, thanks for watching everybody and the nice comments!

Just to let you know that the rider is not a pro, he dont even race, and any of the footage is posing, his style is like this always.
It took three days under the rain and snow to shoot it and some other to edit.
And no, the force of nature doesnt exist only in Whistler, we have a few in Spain too.

Keep riding! (and shooting ;-)

Really nice work! Where was that filmed? la Sierra Norte de Madrid? Looks like Bustarviejo, La Cabrera etc.

Chapon (Feb 17, 2014 at 11:39)

Yes, somewhere near there ;-)
Thanks!

I don't know what you lot are on about, i thought it was an awesome edit! Nice work ride and shoot!

mannybee (Feb 17, 2014 at 4:48)

Totally agree mate

Flanimal (Feb 17, 2014 at 5:08)

Agreed - excellent edit

mannybee (Feb 16, 2014 at 23:14)

I think this is a very good video, especially if it's their first. Reminds me of the lake district in England. Well done guys

mark3 (Feb 17, 2014 at 10:27)

great vid, the section through the woods just makes me want to ride

wolly96, that's not enduro, its just someone riding a bike they love for fun, its called mountain biking, and it does'nt matter what type bike it is or what size the f**kin wheels are

siderealwall2 (Feb 16, 2014 at 21:10)

Love it! Spainish trail riding is now on my bucketlist...

poozank (Feb 16, 2014 at 21:32)

Was that a GT commercial?

limkilde (Feb 16, 2014 at 21:57)

All pro vids are a commercal for something

poozank (Feb 17, 2014 at 8:24)

That wasn't a pro, he just really loved GT

Fuze911 (Feb 16, 2014 at 22:22)

I like everything about this. Great edit.

wheelerdrew69 (Feb 16, 2014 at 21:07)

nice

Tinga (Feb 16, 2014 at 21:21)

beautiful trails

loamaddict (Feb 16, 2014 at 22:57)

I really would like to shred this trail with this bud!!! Sweet spot! Props guys!!

bigd8006 (Feb 16, 2014 at 23:13)

I have a 2010 GT force 3.0 that I have put through the ringer. I am 6'3" and 270 and it takes everything I give her. Love this bike. Commercial or not nice vid.

DHcamcam (Feb 16, 2014 at 21:51)

That's pretty neat

FaastEddie (Feb 16, 2014 at 22:33)

I waited 60 seconds for bike riding to start in a 3 minute vid. :-/

And what's he doing at 1:30, he jumps and in mid air he fully extends his arms to lock and then retracts before landing. Like he's trying to make the move more exciting.

Leesethebeast (Feb 17, 2014 at 16:30)

I'm kinda impressed they managed to fit every sin of bike edits into one video.

MelvieD (Feb 19, 2014 at 11:18)

Yeah, where's your video?

matarratas (Feb 19, 2014 at 23:24)

You guys.... The guy is riding beautifully: pedaling hard after curves, pumping in tricky sections, whipping once in a while... he is killing it. I'll give you the usual over-use of slowmo in today's edits, however it shows some beautiful trails

Leesethebeast (Feb 20, 2014 at 13:14)

I wasn't criticizing the riding, the cinematography is quite nice as well, just some issues with the storyboard. I thought we had all agreed that occupying half your video with a dramatic intro, including a commercial of your bike, and filling the riding with too much slowmo was not entertaining.

nouser (Feb 16, 2014 at 22:41)

nice trails super

sonofthedragon (Feb 16, 2014 at 23:56)

3:54 KALI ???

MrDuck (Feb 17, 2014 at 1:41)

Good catch, absolutely!

lokke (Feb 17, 2014 at 10:16)

So nice movie, beautifull trail, just perfect. Got only one thing one my mind now..... RIDING!!!!

BobBogdanWilliams (Feb 17, 2014 at 1:33)

Love it, enough sad...

lirch1 (Feb 17, 2014 at 8:51)

awesome vid! what's the track?

kevmocal (Feb 17, 2014 at 17:11)

one of Adventure Club's; I didn't catch the title, though at the end of the video it's in white lettering in the lower left hand corner...

mentalhead (Feb 17, 2014 at 14:03)

One of the most amazing vidz I've seen in a while. Hm, I'm about to say that too often

dpodgajski (Feb 17, 2014 at 14:47)

Slowmotion owerkill.. i think it would be much nicer vid without slowmotion and with some rock music like artic monkeys, black keys etc.

WhiteTail was killer...Nature is raw....and we ride her like she needs to be...RideaBike....

highstreet (Feb 17, 2014 at 21:31)

A little to much ill-timed slo-mo for me...

nice video!

StueyStuey (Feb 17, 2014 at 13:16)

Did he get dressed in the dark??? Nice vid though.

carbonbootprint (Feb 16, 2014 at 23:03)

All of these videos are the same. Any kook with a camera can and does make one, and they are almost all interchangeable. The music is the same embarrassing nonsense, and the riding is mediocre. Next…..

I'M GOING TO EAT YOUR GUTS OUT GAAAAHHHHHHHH.

michaelbiorn (Feb 16, 2014 at 23:36)

Good lord. Do you know the amount of time and energy that goes into shooting/editing a 3min bit like this?! It's not perfect. I agree. But it was free! You're a spoiled child in a candy store. If you don't like what you see, just move on.

BobBogdanWilliams (Feb 17, 2014 at 1:34)

Amen

carbonbootprint (Apr 25, 2014 at 17:43)

You're right, Michaelbiorn. I have no idea how much time and energy go into making a cut-rate, snoozefest video like this, or the 10382982380 other videos like it on this site. I'm too busy riding my bike and ruling at life to give a shit. It's cool that people are doing something at least somewhat constructive, but dudes need to branch out and do something interesting. Find some different angles, interesting lines, ride a hardtail, feature some female or differently abled riders. The list goes on. Nothing about most of these videos is remarkable. Try harder or don't bother.

elong801 (Feb 16, 2014 at 23:19)

60 seconds of snowing/ rain.... Then watching someone pedaling.... I stopped watching after I waisted 1:30 seconds of my life.

wolly96 (Feb 16, 2014 at 23:39)

enduro is still boring to watch

RailingRuts (Feb 17, 2014 at 9:48)

Looks like someone mountain biking to me. What is this enduro you speak of?
