If only it was endless

The song was way better than I was expecting after reading some of these comments.

It's on repeat on all the French radio stations, it's utter gash. Couldn't watch the video.

BHolcomb88 (Mar 14, 2014 at 14:21)

First off who listens to radio anymore? And secondly it's not nearly as popular in the States.

Sick riding looks so much more impressive on a single crown bike!!! But a shame about the shit song.

Just put some other song on in the background, makes the video so much better.

the "shit song" obviously meant something if it was chosen by the creator of the piece. instead of demonstrating your ignorance, simply enjoy the creation as it was intended by the audio-visual maestro concerned

Well that escalated quickly. They've got a point though what you hear just doesnt seem to 'fit' what you see, that song just doesn't work with these videos I think

Everyone has different tastes in music and that means not everyone is going to like the song choice. You can't make everyone happy and all you can do is try and find a song that you like and think will fit and start editing to it...

The editor of the video really should have contacted jacobsawyer to ensure that the music was good enough for him. Strange world we live in when the opinion of jacobsawyer is not seen as all mighty.

Don't wanna be criticized don't post a video, that song sucks. Dude rips tho! And thank you to the creator of the video we all appreciate your hard work along with the rider

The-dirt-farmer (Mar 12, 2014 at 22:01)

It's been used a lot lately, which is annoying. Instead of playing a song that everyone's heard, I like it when the video showcases a hidden gem of a song.

tstep3 (Mar 13, 2014 at 1:17)

The good ole E-Cig commercial song haha

southshorepirate FL (Mar 13, 2014 at 7:56)

Some people need to expand their musical horizons….

drewstinky (Mar 13, 2014 at 9:15)

what?! its a shit chart dance music song, how can that have been specifically "chosen by the creator of the piece". Its just laziness, there's plenty more lesser known electronic/house tracks out there which would have worked better because they would sound completely new to the viewer, just takes a bit of research. This whole string of comments, which is drawing attention away from the quality of the riding and camera work, could have been avoided also.

counterpoint FL (Mar 13, 2014 at 9:20)

One of the coolest songs set to trail riding I've heard in a long time. I think it fits perfectly.

rightthen (Mar 13, 2014 at 13:44)

Why is Canada so pro Avici?

Have they not had the pleasure of being tortured by his pop-dance-country stylings yet?

jmeko (Mar 13, 2014 at 16:49)

Hard to "enjoy the creation as in was intended" when the indented music blows and doesn't fit the video at all.

AlexGustavsson (Mar 16, 2014 at 6:24)

Come to sweden and you will hear this fucker everywhere...

This guy shreds harder on a single crown trail bike than most people on full 203mm dh rigs!!

Bdusty1 (Mar 12, 2014 at 16:55)

Hell yeah, you see him hit those root rut holes, haha bam bam bang.

nation (Mar 12, 2014 at 18:36)

I wouldn't call a Scapegoat a trail bike per say, but overall, I agree

nation (Mar 12, 2014 at 18:38)

***EDIT to my above comment, somehow thought I was on VOD. My bad***

Jodaro (Mar 12, 2014 at 15:31)

So how is he channeling Bender? Sweet riding though.

Bdusty1 (Mar 12, 2014 at 16:54)

My thought exactly! Thought he was gonna be huckin some shit, o well , fu sick vid anyway!

fucktheman (Mar 12, 2014 at 17:26)

right there with ya guys, cool edit but not to benderesk

rbsnyder333 (Mar 12, 2014 at 17:59)

yeah thought the same when i saw the caption to the pic (before i watched the video)... since when does a 15 foot drop get you a Bender reference?

BMunkeeX (Mar 13, 2014 at 9:04)

I don't see you doing a 15ft drop to flat on a enduro bike???

rbsnyder333 (Mar 17, 2014 at 10:11)

Touché. I'm not negating his riding abilities, he's effing dirty. Maybe just disappointed that freeride gets lost in the midst of enduro and dh, making smaller drops worthy of that kind of praise.

dingo-dave (Mar 18, 2014 at 13:26)

Do you know for a fact that it was 15' to flat? Looks to me like there was a landing there. That would be small by Bender' standards... even on a trail bike. Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed the trail riding.

Jonathan shreds super hard. He is also on of the more humble guys you will meet. Respect!

professorstannis (Mar 12, 2014 at 16:49)

Those trails look super fun and the edit was great. Cable Cam was very well done, too. Although, so many mirrored shots in one edit make my OCD hurt... Not intended to be negative, just a peculiar observation.

highstreet (Mar 12, 2014 at 17:59)

I knew someone would spot that but for the sake of flow in the video it was necessary.

professorstannis (Mar 12, 2014 at 19:04)

It's easy to spot little things like that sometimes but it should be easier for us all to notice when someone puts a lot of time and effort into a project. This is one of those cases. My comment was poking more fun at myself than anybody. To the people whining about the music, intro, or anything else--make your own edit and enjoy the same comments...

GalbraithBham (Mar 12, 2014 at 17:38)

each one of those trails are super fun! haven't hit that rock drop/step-down though, not for me thanks im gettin to old for that shit haha

jesseoverlin (Mar 13, 2014 at 7:47)

Shoulda kept that Phantogram song from the beginning rollin! I was bummed when it switched.

rapit2theredline (Mar 12, 2014 at 15:47)

just goes to show how much trail/endure bikes can really take.

briceps (Mar 13, 2014 at 16:02)

This trail is all time. I just moved from the west side over to the east side of WA and this video makes me miss it over there so bad.

shangran (Mar 12, 2014 at 15:51)

This guy shreds

JACOBrf (Mar 12, 2014 at 19:24)

nice video kid! your my hero. we miss you out at the park.

jimrider07 (Mar 13, 2014 at 3:26)

Great edit and great riding The last drop is so beautiful !

gooded (Mar 12, 2014 at 16:27)

Awesome video. Sick riding. On a side note though. Too bad evil lost Phil Kmetz this season. Soo fast.

mountguitars (Mar 12, 2014 at 16:39)

loving the single crown action. but the title of this article and choice of song? hehe.

5chmaus FL (Mar 12, 2014 at 22:48)

chaserider (Mar 13, 2014 at 0:05)

barbarosza (Mar 13, 2014 at 0:53)

Mtownshredder (Mar 13, 2014 at 20:04)

This Terrain and trail looks Godly! would love to ride that!

Silliker269 (Mar 12, 2014 at 15:51)

Wait a second , was that country ? ALso Bender wouldnt even bother with that , too small

Kristo (Mar 12, 2014 at 16:14)

Whats-Next (Mar 12, 2014 at 16:26)

Very cool riding and that bike was sweet

jeffinater224 (Mar 12, 2014 at 17:15)

Was that a #enduro bike? Lol jk sick riding! Silky smooth!

tackytraks (Mar 12, 2014 at 17:26)

Not a fan of the intro/editing and unoriginal music. other than that, Shweeet shots!

ilovecatsandbikes FL (Mar 12, 2014 at 23:35)

very nice movie !! 5* from me

Number21 (Mar 13, 2014 at 11:43)

poor fern... you run over a fern! nobody thinks to ferns

jonnytoast (Mar 13, 2014 at 12:36)

sweet riding! I love the intro.

johnnyddddd (Mar 12, 2014 at 17:21)

WWU!! Sweet stuff man!

amnda (Mar 12, 2014 at 18:04)

Sick!

parallaxid (Mar 12, 2014 at 15:34)

i am sure he asked the people who build the trails if it was cool the film there.....right....?

Shadylurker (Mar 12, 2014 at 15:47)

Did he get a permit and fill out the proper paperwork?!

mddigger (Mar 12, 2014 at 21:05)

That trail looks mint

ericbs (Mar 12, 2014 at 22:10)

BENDER?

Below threshold threads are hidden

nikifor88 FL (Mar 13, 2014 at 1:46)

i know that negative opinions get negative props but hell, iill survuve that somehow. i didnt like this video at all. in few moments rider did something impressive but whole thing was boring, some clips too long, first song was totally unnecessary and badly cut and so on and so on. moreover i was hoping for something rad due to bender refferences, and what i got was worse than most stuff from movies for your mondays, im suprised it is on main page and people are so into this movie. now bring it on

jergus (Mar 13, 2014 at 5:21)

But rides is awesome

BMunkeeX (Mar 13, 2014 at 9:10)

@nikifor88 I saw videos you made and you have no place to talk. You should go build a trail and stick to riding it instead of commenting on videos that feature a better rider, and better video work then what your capable of.

nikifor88 FL (Mar 13, 2014 at 15:44)

hhhahahahaha please, great job comparing old amateur gopro videos with professional production with dslr, sliders, cablecams, tripods and who knows what else. this is enough to not give a damn about your opinion, so whatever.

scary1 (Mar 12, 2014 at 16:22)

Bring on the WC race videos.
You guys have lost the meaning of "shred"

Whoolyocto (Mar 12, 2014 at 19:49)

Don't know who you are @scary1, but Jonathan shreds super hard. If you rode with him you would likely be hard pressed to keep up with him/even come close to his composure/style. Plus he's a rad guy!
