The video is awesome, but I kind of miss how much more personal they seemed last season. They don't do any dialog to set up the shots or anything now. Don't get me wrong. Sick Video! Amazing riding! Great shots! But I miss the personal touch that season 2 had.

i miss the length they had too. season 1 had 30 min or so episodes. now they are bearly 10 min..

Go watch Dr Phill then. Lotsa sharing of feelings there. Lotsa talking.. It's a MOUNTAIN BIKING VIDEO! About RIDING! Jeez

nouser (Oct 17, 2011 at 18:17)

the riders in these videos are some of the luckiest people alive. awesome video, stund never disappoints in my opinion.

rbreish (Oct 17, 2011 at 18:38)

Now thats awesome! I cant believe they were riding down those hillclimbs!! I would barely have the guts to ride up them on my moto, let alone bomb down them on my dh. Shredding the Gnar for sure!

I'm glad all you got from this banger vid was a desire for sausages

TomOK (Oct 17, 2011 at 7:54)

BIG SAUSAGES.

Pininator (Oct 17, 2011 at 21:25)

Major sausage-fest taking place here.

nouser (Oct 17, 2011 at 17:43)

So cool to see Byron Grey in there. What a flashback to the old Drop-in days. I found a cure for the episode seeming too short. Watch it 3 times. There you go, 30 minutes of first-rate shredding. Awesome guys, thanks. Oh yeah, Eminence front, great to hear some old music in there!

I like these episodes and the riding and filming is good to watch but to be honest I miss the banter of the first series and the insane gaps of the later series. I appreciate the constraints and the shift in focus but I do miss wondering what crazy gap and drop I would be watching in the next episode. Not knocking the awesome big mountain riding, just saying. I guess it is because it is hard to appreciate from the episodes just how gnarly the riding is.

dannyboy2240 (Oct 17, 2011 at 15:15)

i agree. i also wish they'd include some more POV shots from those big mountain lines! they make you appreciate the speed and skill of the riders!

AVann6 (Oct 17, 2011 at 1:25)

Another fun video! Can't wait till next week

Shorter video than I'm used to though. I was kinda surprised when the credits rolled so quickly.

ScandiumRider (Oct 17, 2011 at 9:31)

Sweet! Mondays mornings are awesome now. I actually bought the Ooh La La EP Chop The Mutha Down off of iTunes for the STUND intro song Yeah People! Not only are these videos getting me stoked on riding, they're introducing me to new music. Double sweet!

deadlymailman (Oct 17, 2011 at 20:49)

I always love how they show us at the end of the episode that even though some of the best riders are still human and make some dumb mistakes and falls sometimes

suicidedownhiller (Oct 17, 2011 at 10:29)

Great video! Looked like if they had some more time there they could have set up some huge drop lines in that terrain. Hopefully they'll have a utah episode to keep me happy

I wanna see some HUGE shit go down like season 1 and 2. This was epic though, only because of how much fun that kind of riding is!

stund (Oct 17, 2011 at 10:41)

Yo dude, No Utah episode unfortunately this year. All that time in the heli from episode 2 ate up the $$$. Heading to Kamloops today to find some air time though.

suicidedownhiller (Oct 17, 2011 at 11:01)

Aww that sucks. All though kamloops is just as good. This episode made me want to go ride more than the others, I love that style of fast, wide open lines. Looks like a great time!

stund (Oct 17, 2011 at 11:37)

Cheers!

kilgore-trout (Oct 19, 2011 at 0:01)

how is it that romo tears it up on the boot'r?! I'm sure it's spec'd out perfectly and tuned just for him but I ride that bike and it feels like crap, incredibly hard to ride really fast and its back end is all over the place and unpredictable... there's a reason you don't see a lot of people riding them.

superficialt (Oct 17, 2011 at 2:53)

As usual, awesome video. Better than most stuff you have to pay for...

remllamas (Oct 17, 2011 at 14:21)

i dont wear spandex.i have two all mt bikes both 6 inches up tvael bikes and thay are both under 29 lbs.nomad and reignx to be specific.i pedal up the mountains and pedal down technical trails. hiking a bike or shuttling are not my kind of mt biking.

gnarbar (Oct 17, 2011 at 17:59)

leonardlimfs (Oct 17, 2011 at 18:12)

jimbsport FL (Oct 17, 2011 at 10:02)

konarrider2007 (Oct 17, 2011 at 12:37)

Finally some bigger airs but where are all the senders? Its lookin alot like the last season drop in with all the trail riding and tricks... (Minus the big lines in here and williams lake)

bikermark (Oct 17, 2011 at 8:30)

Maybe a dumb question but here goes. How much brake do these guys use coming down those steeps? I think I saw one locked up back tire going into one of the drops.

N0t0ri0us (Oct 22, 2011 at 21:42)

Rear is locked all the way down

Shmig (Oct 17, 2011 at 16:12)

Played Junior Hockey in Invermere and spent the 90's snowboarding Panorama. The whole area in awesome- total nature, I gotta bring the DH bike next time I am in town.

Da-Moose FL (Oct 17, 2011 at 0:30)

raph11 (Oct 17, 2011 at 12:39)

Woaw :O these guys ride down this mountain like I would maybe on skis, with 2m deep snow...

skippy888 (Oct 17, 2011 at 17:44)

That shot at 8:10 looks so awesome. Great vid. Not sure what style you call this vid but overall A++.

krankin FL (Oct 17, 2011 at 19:33)

FLY1NGF1SH (Oct 17, 2011 at 8:02)

Jackk251 (Oct 17, 2011 at 12:19)

MostlyMentalShuttles (Oct 17, 2011 at 12:32)

angrynipples (Oct 17, 2011 at 18:23)

I am really getting sick of that intro song...

605endurbro (Oct 18, 2011 at 9:55)

If this isn't a comeback for true freeriding then I don't know what is.

BikeBrewery (Oct 23, 2011 at 12:48)

Yeeeoooo! Nice vid boys.

remllamas (Oct 17, 2011 at 8:36)

that is not real mtbiking! that is not crazy! real mtbiking is riding up in the mountain not hiking up or shuttling up in the mountain.this video is just rolling fast down the mountain with the bike.downhillers get a pair of legs and pedal up ! you dont need a dh bike on that trail. all mt bikes can climb up that trail.

stund (Oct 17, 2011 at 9:17)

We will give you a bike if you can pedal up those faces! The hikes were really long but i don't think people want to watch an hour of hike a bike. I'm guessing they would rather watch riding.

dougies (Oct 17, 2011 at 9:21)

lighten up

no-ah (Oct 17, 2011 at 10:07)

come on guys... lets not feed the troll. hahaha

fullbug (Oct 17, 2011 at 10:21)

everybody knows climbing's the business front half of that mullet & dh is the back end party of it.

fullbug (Oct 17, 2011 at 10:30)

@stund- who made the call on the Who track? nice fit.

stund (Oct 17, 2011 at 10:42)

We were all listening to it and imagining riding to it. Just seem to fit.

cglasford (Oct 17, 2011 at 11:28)

@ remllamas- Sorry bud but you're not riding those lines on an All M bike. Shoot they should give you an All M and a lift to the top just to film you try it!

jakeaylward (Oct 17, 2011 at 11:33)

@stund how many episodes have you got lined up for us?

stund (Oct 17, 2011 at 11:36)

It really depends on how this all goes. So far we are confirmed for 2 more.

jakeaylward (Oct 17, 2011 at 12:14)

ah ok cool

racerfacer FL (Oct 17, 2011 at 12:43)

@remlammas, I see where you are coming from. I find it really lame when people shuttle something that can be ridden on a XC hardtail. However, the STUND crew are sending some big mountain lines that require the confidence of a big bike, and we get stoked when we see them flash some big lines like that.

Since I don't have the balls to flash huge lines like that or send some hucks, my personal style is to ride up to the top on my Marin Attack Trail and enjoy the ride down.

paulfreakinneumann (Oct 17, 2011 at 13:12)

Get a grip remlammas.. I don't think their ballz would fit in the spandex your wearing around town drinkin double decaf skim soya lattes.. They look like mountains to me.. Andale! Nice work again boyz.. Chingon!

hillatoppa (Oct 17, 2011 at 16:26)

What are some of you guys smoking??!!

This is freakin awesome!!! Everyone's whinging about "give me huck this, romo go huck that, aw it's too short..." pffffffft! The riding, the sick trails and just the sheer quality of this footage is wayyyy too good to bitch about

Can't wait for next episode guys, awesome stuff!

Kitejumping (Oct 17, 2011 at 16:52)

While steep trails can be ridden trials style, after about 30 ft of pedal punches you get tired and realize how much more efficient it is just to walk/climb, at least that is what I found when I biked Mt. Elbert in CO. Its fun to ride the technical climbing sections, but not feasible for 5,000 ft of elevation gain. Also, awesome video!
