 Cool video, but the tempo of the song didn't fit the riding at all, I would have chosen a more chillaxxeeed song. Looks such a fun quarry though! all there is at our quarry is bigass cliffs.

 I thought the song worked quite well, I think its hard to say because some parts of the song are quite fast and bassy which suit the energetic riding and others are more chilled and do fit the video quite well. Im just stating my opinion, not trying to argue Smile

 I really enjoyed the video, however I reckon the standard of riding let the video down. There were some great shots in there, just could've done with better riding to finish the job. Great video all the same!

 defo, just needs to work on being in the air- like every jump he seemed to tuck his back wheel up! I think it may have been to do with having the seat a bit high though..

 In my opinion, he just didn't seem natural on the bike. The pedaling out of corners, the lacking commitment to get the bike down.. but maybe this is just how I view mountain biking.

 hmm now you mention it he did seem a little lacking in viggor (did i spell that right?). but mabye thats just him lacking experience. if you have not done something allot you will be more cautios. (did i spell cautious right?)

 or maybe its just because the track is flat and you have to work hard to get alot out of it.. you really have to work to make the track work its peddally and flat and it takes some doing to keep the flow up which is great if ur into xc. it rewards a rider that can keep flow and corner well. its not a DH track or a DH video! what do you expect? as far as cross country goes its not bad at all. here look at Rowan Sorrell ride it

before you criticise you have to learn the right to! i take it no one commenting here is on Rowans level? or are you gonna criticise his riding too?

 You're right, I'm not going to criticize their riding as they look natural on the bike and don't make the corners look awkward. Like I said above, 'maybe this is just how I view mountain biking'.

Oh, and I do believe I have earned the right to.

 Lee quarry is a hard place to pedal and get speed pal... even for those jumps.. I have seen this guy at Caersws killing all the big jumps there soo, you can't fault the guy for jumping.. every guy has there own riding style, I am an Instructor n I bet a million I could pick out loads of mistakes you make...
