Alex Chamberlin Shredding Walnut Creek Open Space

 AGREE!! if you can rip an xc bike like that than you will kill it on a dh bike

 Somebody sponsor this kid!

 don't get ahead of yourself now p-romano. just cuz someone can rip doesnt mean they need to be sponsored. There are a ton of kids out there that are fast and ride cat 1 but arent sponsored. heck im not even sponsored and i race cat 1 and have some good results

 tstep3 calm down man he means for xc probably. Alex Chamberlin rides every day and deserves an xc sponsorship.

 then the sponsors will come to him

 i wasnt mad by any means but i just dont understand how some people have a ton of sponsors, but if hes out riding everyday and racing then he doesnt need to worry about sponsors. Like what jmsxtreem said the sponsors will come to him

 I was joking guys. calm down. your the ones gettin ahead of yourselves. chamberlin rips though.

 I dont think anyone in this conversation was being serious at any moment

 Nah hes actually pinned, fuck sponsors. Everyone should just ride their bikes and have fun and not trip about anything else other than that

 yeah i saw that and wondered if a lot of people ride it? I guess so, it looked fun!

 at 2:57 theres a lip to the left and you launch over the whole rock garden. sick edit though. its right next to my house

 this is another edit same trail. www.pinkbike.com/video/196599

 i see the lip to

 Jealous much of the trail!

 Hah, norcalassassin, who uses dh bikes

 uh i ride a covert.

 But in that vid ur on a tr450 right? Btw ur convert is sick

 yes because my am bike wasnt working at the time. its overkill for parts of that trail but not all of it.

 Oh got it. And yeah agreed, you got some sexy bikes lines up by the way.

 Thanks dude, and he is tubeless on the front which saved him because he got some thorns then he got a flat on the back which he was running tubes with, so we fixed it then in the first 10 feet flatted again so used my back wheel. And yeah for sure its a lot of fun

 Thank you. And yes, that was kind of the point of this video. To show the MTB community that it's not the bike that makes you fast. Glad you enjoyed it.

 pshht, everybody knows that you're supposed to ride a downhill bike at walnut creek open space!

 why?

 The riding was good but the filming was shaky, there were a ton of unnecessary, boring scenes, random scene placement (the randoms plants about 3/4 of the way through) and some cheesy clips (the silhouette that added nothing to it.)

 i just rode in it. and i thought it was fine. the filmer is only 15. he's definitely on his way to bigger things tho

 yeah, id like to see some of your vids, then you can talk

 wait till next season and I have my filming equipment,

 Sounds filmiar....cough *(gabe)

 Jake that made no sense

 Jake is trying to say it is the videographer that produces a good film, not a $800 camera. Jake filmed an edit on a gopro and it looks better then tobie's crap slowmoed one

 doornob100, what would you have put at the slower parts of the song, the breaks? Just wondering so I could improve next time.

 theres nothing i could do to make the slowmo better on my camera alex. why do you guys spend so much time thinking of things to say about my filming though when it isnt even yours to harass or you had nothing to do with. just chill already.

 cause we want u to have the skill to produce a quality edit before u drop hundreds of dollars on a new camera. and it seems like u think the new camera will make u a god at filming. that is y we give u shit.

 well you could try saying it in a nice way thats what i mean. im cool with you telling me what i should do better but not just saying what i did wrong and being a hater

 anyways enough of this

 agreed

 Okay, sorry, my first comment was a little harsh. But as for asking for help, I would just have put some of those nature shots or the silhouette at the beginning of the video. Because he's going uphill and downhill when its still relatively light outside but then there's a random sunset shot. A little less uphill may have been better because, though it is important, its not a great video shot. Maybe a long distance, longer shot of you going up hill would have been better. Also, you should work on panning and moving the camera smoother (try using a rubber band.) Yeah, maybe a little slow mo would have added to it, just make sure its a cool shot going downhill. Mainly, experience is going to make it better.

 Yeah i totally agree about everything you said, except for the part about the slow mo, all of us want that, but none of us can figure it out, its pretty controversal

 slow mo is good for song breaks but overusing it is annoying. so learn to use it with the song.

 I would use slowmo, but my camera only records at a highest of 30fps, therefore making slowmo look very cheap and ruins the movie. And there was one long distance shot of the climbing, i felt like putting a little more climbing in than normal because I wanted the video to be different, Alex Chamberlin climbs as good as he comes down. And as for the non smooth panning, I was using a very cheapy tripod so even with a rubber band it doesn't look good. Yeah, it could be better but keep in mind all of this was filmed in one day.

 you can get a good tripod for cheap and i think its very important

 I have a good tripod but it's too heavy to carry on my back while to film this video...we had to ride pretty far to get here.
