Pinkbike's Top Ten Most Viewed Videos - 2016

 Heck yes please! I thought i used to be able to do that!

 @lostlunchbox: The video player blows chuncks!!! What's more, pinkbike won't answer my request for repair to it. Good thing vitalmtb works as usual. Haha.

 I guess this is why the vids have not been working recently and never allow you to change up the quality etc (iphone 6)

 On mobile pinkbike offers an underwhelming experience...

 @lenmerderdenfer: That weird. On my lap top (and old desktop) the PB player works much better than Vital or (shudder) RedBull players. Seriously Redbull, you throw money around like confetti, pony up for a new player build already.

 @lostlunchbox: Redbull works pretty well for me. Most of the time anyway.

 @lostlunchbox: My thoughts exactly. Was watching Rampage on catchup whilst it was on live and it would either keep restarting it from the beginning or randomly cutting to the live action midway through someones run! With all their money you'd think they'd perfect their media player.

@K4m1k4z3 alongside using the spacebar to pause/play once you've started a video, coulda sworn that used to the a thing on PB like it is practically everywhere else

 "Worst case scenario I’m still happy, best case scenario, I’m damn pumped". trying to take that one with me

 Yes, this +1000. I'd love to see a proper top 20 or 30 for actual mtb edits. I'm sure I've missed out alot of good ones.

And it'd be nice to get some lists of staff favorites, highlighting videos that haven't received the attention they shouldve.

 whenever i am talking to people about how crappy 2016 was, they are like "oh what musician or actor's death makes you sad" and i am like stevie smith and kelly mcgarry

 @adrennan: Same here, but it makes me happy when some people know who they are.

 @abzillah: keep politics off pinkbike dammit. we have gone over this before.

 And #1 lead directly to an almost-death-mega crash. Guess we all have a little NASCAR in us.

How bout next year when we post our buddy's face getting smashed we tack on a clip of them landing the trick or finishing the race...or just leave the video bits to rot on the SD card?

 @Sardine: sorry but I'm comming here for the fails of the month. I like to see you all suffer!!

 I also think that when a video is less than 10 seconds, it will get extra views. I for one tend to watch those a few times right in a row... I wonder how PB counts the views?

 haha, seriously. I guess the bails video contest is getting more popular. What I don't get are the people willing to wear a Leatt brace but no chest/body protection... yeah don't worry about crushing your chest on a rock. sheeesh that's scary.

 @dtax: They're non-unique individual views. You can watch a video 10 times and it adds on.

 i was pretty shocked to not see this on the list. i assume because it wasnt in the pinkbike media player?

 Agreed! The Semenuk slopestyle video was the best video I saw this year (although the Danny Mac videos compete, but for different reasons). The Semenuk video is art by every measure - cinematography, sound, and riding.

 Thanks for posting this. I couldn't remember what it was called so I could watch it again. Definitely my favorite for 2016!

 I don't get the drama in it but his riding is incredible. Too many mtn bike videos are taking themselves way too seriously these days IMO.

 "taking themselves way too seriously these days"

How do you think they're landing all these unbelievable tricks?

 I don't watch them, I think they just leave negative images in your head for when riding.

 it reminds of how hard some people hit the ground and jump back up. i have began to enjoy a good wreck here and there. MAKES YOU FEEL ALIVE!

 Because of basic math.

 @sarahlh: hahaha thanks

 Maybe they'll allow it for next year

 Bryn seems to cheat, though. He is obviously using a hover-bike.

 we all know waki won that one. no contest.
