Silvia - Matt Miles

Matt Miles went missing from mountain biking for a while and his presence in Kamloops was greatly missed. Complimentary to the epic weather we are having this year, Matt is making an epic comeback on both sides of the camera as one of Kamloops' most prominent riders. This is Matt Miles ripping the Rio, totally Raw.

turning on the mic for this video was awesome. you could here every chatter on the trail as the wheels go by. felt like the rider was one with the trail. awesome edit, smooth trail and awesome riding. definitely VOD!

That was shit, riding and shots very good but really either have music or dont it was really annoying and distracting in the background then

tom666 (May 12, 2011 at 9:30)

I thought it was very good. The rider was very fast and smooth and the trail was cool too and I liked the noise of him going past the camera. The music was a bit annoying though.

boostmaster (May 12, 2011 at 9:47)

@mountguitars when would you shoot with the mic turned off?

MiloXC3 (May 12, 2011 at 10:06)

Obviously VOD. Amazing riding and trails, and the filming was even better! Pre-ride videos don't get much better than this, so I'm gonna go out and shred. Smile

freebord007 (May 12, 2011 at 10:09)

YES! a video focused on the riding and not some stupid emo song!!

JHewitt (May 12, 2011 at 11:02)

awesome video, was the rider wearing a mic too? because in some shots it sounded louder than youd expect from how far the camera was... it makes the ground seem solid as hell. Love the trail so much, every video I see of Kamloops makes it seem ever sicker. It would be so cool to have that amount of open space around where I live... Rolleyes

Love this trail! and he was ripping! too bad he was on a kona...

kaizerness (May 12, 2011 at 11:36)

Sooo fucking epic !

sean-dh (May 12, 2011 at 12:04)

The trail and riding were unbelievable ! Would love to ride there. Using the music like that was original and cool glad it was muted to hear the bike ripping that trail up! Yeahbro I hope that kona comment is a joke because it doesnt matter in the slightest.

tom666 (May 12, 2011 at 12:08)

well, just for sex appeal I would rather see somebody on a santa cruz or trek or sommit' but the fact it's a kona doesn't bother me or efeect how good the video is.

OliScale (May 12, 2011 at 12:49)

is this the trail matt hunter rides in seasons?

falvey221 (May 12, 2011 at 14:39)

timfrancis (May 13, 2011 at 4:49)

Yeah quality edit, great riding! The sound levels don't sound properly balanced between trail noise/music though? kinda distracted me a little...

timfrancis (May 13, 2011 at 4:53)

Damn I love that trail though, would love a crack at it one day!

The Raw footage and minimalist editing is really refreshing. I like the stuff you guys are doing! Keep it up!

Yeah. Its almost hard to believe its Raw footage. It looks really good.

drcw84 (May 12, 2011 at 0:52)

Is he riding a kona bass???? initially thought it was a singlespeed entourage but the tubing is straight not curvy...... singlespeed + full suss = fun

olaffons (May 12, 2011 at 3:24)

Yes he's riding a Kona Bass and I'll even tell U more,it's Aggy's bike. I don't now if he borrowed it from him or bought it,but it,s the same bike Aggy rode on Whitestyle event:
www.pinkbike.com/photo/6255049

I personally use a Bass and in my opinion it's the best bike for jumps and technical singletracks without big hits U could ever purchase. It's light,stable and really feels like a hardtail,maybe bit longer than the standard DJ HT,but still...

Another impressive video from Silvia... Great job,keep it up!!

timfrancis (Jan 28, 2012 at 1:47)

good spot. he was absolutely killing that trail! had to do a bike check too. funny how most riders would want 160/180mm... when 100/120 mm is a lot more fun for that stuff ;-)

[Reply]

ryanreishripper (May 12, 2011 at 18:02)

so fun riding in hail! Done it onece, love it, you dont get wet, the coolness keeps you from sweating, and the greounds doesnt get soaked unless you ride for long enough to the point it all melts. Sick as fuck trail! I wanna shred that!

[Reply]

urbancamel (May 15, 2011 at 12:23)

Super flowey trail. I love how you can hear the sound of the bike pinning it down the trail, I like how that's not covered up by the music, more bike films should be like this. Good job.

[Reply]

Sean115 (May 12, 2011 at 21:24)

that filming was really cool. Definitely unique camera work. This vid worked well for me. I liked the ambient music in the background mixed with the true sound. sick riding too. best vod in a while.

[Reply]

Imyme91 (May 12, 2011 at 8:43)

yeah the sound is superb, kind of on par with that scene in life cycles when he's fixing up that Scott in the workshop, the noises make it so satisfying to watch!

[Reply]

tinfoil (May 12, 2011 at 20:45)

This may sound weird, but I feel like to do Rio justice you should be riding fast enough that you both look and feel at least a little out of control. This riding was a little too clean for me on this trail, but maybe that's just the part of me that realizes Matt can kick my ass any day talking. Oh well, sick video regardless.

[Reply]

bkreinhart (May 12, 2011 at 16:58)

this is unreal. I love the camera movements.. so much different and more interesting than the more basic shots we've become acustomed to. Going to give this effect a try on my next shoot. I love this!
