This video has so much more meaning after watching the behind the scenes mock-documentary lol

Another job well done guys! Gotta embrace the greasy winter conditions

Sick edit,
I do wonder though what it is with nobody wearing gloves... ever! If you look to past VOD's more people are riding gloveless than with gloves. It may look cool but personally I think it is not the best idea.
1. Gloves are better for performance, you don't get hand slip.
2. Gloves are less harmful, when you crash you don't tear up your hands as much and you don't get all the blisters that you do when you ride gloveless.
3. Gloves are cheep, if you can afford to mountain bike you can afford a 20-40 dollar pair of gloves.

Sorry this may sound like hate or off topic but everyone is doing it and I just wonder why?

Heyo,

as the rider in the video, I prefer no gloves, as u get a lot more feedback from your bike, I don't ever have problems with hand slip, And I normally break the fall with my face not my hands Smile

Thanks man, I just thought it was all about the looks but I totally see how that would work.

@intenserider7 i've been riding downhill for about 2 years now, and i wore gloves for like the first 2 or 3 months..then, out of coincidence (ie me forgetting to) i didn't bring my gloves to a ride, and it was just awesome. i felt way more comfortable and never ever slipped a hand off the bars. ever since i ride gloveless (:

singletrailrider (Nov 27, 2011 at 7:51)

Sorry to interrupt... It`s your choice whether you use gloves or not. But where i ride are most the trails so rough that you must have gloves in case of bailing or any sort of failng.
But like I said it`s your choice and it also dependson the enviroment that you ride in.
Ride on!!

I personally always ride with gloves because of much better grip. In summer when my hadns are sweating or in rainy, mudy conditions. Also during fall/winter they keep my hands warm. And ofc gloves offer extra protection during crashes.

Nice vid btw Smile

i like hearing all bike noises in the movies. They make them more real to me.

bunkey (Nov 27, 2011 at 10:34)

I wear gloves when I'm riding shit scary fast stuff - I get sweaty palms when I'm pushing it Razz

Otherwise I do prefer gloveless with a slightly thicker and softer grip - It makes for a much more 'connected' ride and cuts my cigarette rolling time in half lol

whitebros (Nov 27, 2011 at 15:13)

personally, gloves make mtb seam less real... without gloves, you feel the bike better and it seems more like you're actually riding... same goes with glasses, full faces, etc.

but whatever you like, go for it

tinfoil (Nov 27, 2011 at 20:04)

I agree. The less clothing you wear, the more real it seems. I've recently started riding pantless and the feeling is unreal!

ckruper (Nov 27, 2011 at 20:32)

nude riding gives mountain biking that edge I've always been looking for!

gclarida (Nov 27, 2011 at 11:30)

this guys rides about as fast as i do, nor did he do anything out of the ordinary. Not VOD material in my opinion.

dexterrobson (Nov 27, 2011 at 13:03)

I probably did, the conditions were absolutely disgusting, the photo's do it more justice than the video in terms of epic grossness.It was also quite a bit steeper than it looks Smile

, but to each their own!

rookie1234 (Dec 1, 2011 at 18:41)

dexter shreds Smile

its the north shore, cold, muddy as hell, with eric and rob nagging him Wink

sick video. dexter here needs to get his new m9 and come to the coast again for some winter loam

dexterrobson (Dec 2, 2011 at 19:33)

dexter should probably get on that, though he'll probably bring the tracer over because it's fast on flat loam.

rookie1234 (Dec 3, 2011 at 12:23)

i agree with dexter on that one

nice edit. but such squekey breaks

hobblyjig (Nov 27, 2011 at 10:42)

I actually really like that I can hear when he brakes Razz

Sometimes when I'm watching these videos I wonder when/if the rider is braking. Fun to know for a change.

bobby-owen (Nov 27, 2011 at 13:54)

true. it is kind of annoying when you dont know. but they still are pretty squeky Wink

beautiful shots! was this shot on a 7d? what lens did you use?

faultlinetv (Nov 22, 2011 at 9:56)

It was shot on a Panasonic HPX170, and a 7d yes. The lenses were a 15-85mm and a 70-200mm. You can check out all the info about a specific video on our new website, http://beta.faultline.tv/portfolio/film-fall-on-cypress/ -ep
