Not for me. Riding was fine and the location was good, but the cinematography and editing weren't quite on par for a VOD.

riding was great, trails looked sick, but the filming and editing doesnt make it a worthy VOD in my opinion

riding was exemplary, but yeah, the filming was modest and the ending was corny and cliche. DO NOT end with a sunset, please.

to be honest, if his video wasnt vod nobody would comment on it like this...it would just be one of the usual edits that we have nothing againgst. although i dont really think its quite good enough for vod...i still believe it is unfair that the people and editor of this vid should recieve this much critcism, they didnt chooso it to be vod themselves so dont have a go at them.

well i dont think it deserves all the really bad critisism and i think most of the people that did critisise it did it before the first minute, which i agree, was pretty poor on the scale of Video Of Day but the rest was amazing and finally a british VOD for a change

schweetcutuk -you see, that's the thing; this video feels like any other video, which renders it equal to an ameteur film and in doing so, it opens bellows of pandora's criticism. as a director, filmographer, photographer, w/e, by posting this, you relinquish an opinion and you expose yourself to open criticism. however the capability of each rider pushes it past the pinnacle of expectation. so yeah, while they may not have chosen this to be VOD, they did chose to have an enslot of opinionated criticism.

I don't think this should be Vod. there are wayyy better vids out there. If you have not seen the trasition blindside vid go on my profile and look under my favourit vids. Then you will see what a vod looks like...if you don't like onffspring then I don't suggest it...tup

BETTER TRAILS???? BETTER TRAILS??????? Mate, those have got to be some of the best trails i have seen! The riding was exemplary guys, just a shame that us normal people cant afford to spend over a grand on a camera. I love that a proper film made by people out riding for fun is VOD, instead of being over produced and over priced. Let the riding qualify it as a VOD, not the aesthetics.
