Nothing against how you're riding, but it looks like you're bottoming out the fork A LOT on stuff that shouldn't bottom out a dh fork.

totally agree dude my fork is effed

pperini (Feb 28, 2012 at 5:11)

DerekHobdenDH116 (Feb 28, 2012 at 8:03)

I can't afford it lol I'll ride my clapped bike until I get a new one ahaha

Squatsonrocks (Feb 28, 2012 at 11:00)

Been there that sucks haha sweet edit though

Lester22291 (Feb 28, 2012 at 11:20)

opening scene with the dust coming through the berm was sick. great edit!

spaced (Feb 28, 2012 at 13:33)

@Derek does it feel like it has no damping? If yes just look for a guy with a broken boxxer and get his damper. It should be dead cheap. I sold my 2010 damper (not broken, just went ava) for 120$. A pre 2010 should be even cheaper. If you look around I bet some people would sell for as little as 50$.

On the other hand if it's the air spring in most cases it's easily fixable if you have a friend who knows that a bit.

Squatsonrocks (Feb 28, 2012 at 19:03)

Why is my comment below the threshold haha

dtroyan123 (Feb 29, 2012 at 0:02)

Good edit, just wish that some of the clips had not been sped up it was not necessary at all.

RaleighVoid (Feb 28, 2012 at 5:33)

loved the editing, song, feel, dust.

johnny-compton (Feb 28, 2012 at 6:02)

good editing and riding, but maybe a bit too much slow-mo for my liking

r-gibson (Feb 28, 2012 at 14:46)

rider89sb: none of the clips were sped up. He's just that fast!

Bjammin (Dec 23, 2011 at 15:26)

Thats Sick! a couple questions tho: what Trail is that at 1:23? and is that drop at 1:45 and all that stuff from 2:00 to 2:15 in the park? the stuff later on doesn't look like the park, but that does. (I'm not asking for locations unless its one of the trails, just to be clear)

DerekHobdenDH116 (Dec 23, 2011 at 17:16)

1:23 is Sticks and Stones at Northstar
No the drop is not in the park.

Bjammin (Dec 23, 2011 at 18:21)

Sweet Thanks! I guess I haven't ridden that part. And yeah I kinda didn't think so haha

r-gibson (Dec 23, 2011 at 18:22)

Sticks and Stones is super fun! its off of vista.

Bjammin (Dec 23, 2011 at 19:37)

yea I rode it but I went off to speed control before that part I guess

[Reply]

teamcletus (Feb 28, 2012 at 9:29)

the last part of your vid looks like it was shot in the Mt. Diablo area. I used to ride Diablo, ie: Summit trail, Rock City, Dan Cook, great riding in Nor Cal East Bay! Great video reminds me of home.

r-gibson (Feb 28, 2012 at 14:47)

Yeah! It was shot at Diablo. Pretty fun stuff!

holywha (Feb 28, 2012 at 15:51)

Orsumness (Dec 16, 2011 at 15:48)

What editing software do you use? I have a 550d and it looks a lower quality than that.....

r-gibson (Dec 16, 2011 at 15:52)

I use Final Cut and Motion 5. my video looks lower quality? or yours does?

Orsumness (Dec 17, 2011 at 0:41)

Yours looks amazing when compared to my videos. I bought a good camera to make my videos look like yours but mine aren't turning out as good (quality of the picture). Thanks for the heads up

r-gibson (Dec 17, 2011 at 13:01)

haha thanks man. what editing software do you use? i looked at your videos and it seems that you might just be exporting it wrong.

Orsumness (Dec 17, 2011 at 16:44)

I use Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0. I think that because of the low quality software, it just isn't meant to be used with good cameras rather making a slideshow of pictures of a faily trip. It's not a particularly advanced program so I might look into getting some new software. When I export it I just make it into a MPEG format so I can easily watch it on my computer but even then the quality isn't that good.........

r-gibson (Dec 17, 2011 at 18:55)

hmmmmm. does it give you an option for what quality you want to export it in?

Orsumness (Dec 18, 2011 at 14:12)

Yeah and we bump it all the way to as high as it goes. However, it also gives you the option to export staright to online, to a disc, to a personal computer (which is what I do so I can watch it), to a mobile phone or to a tape. Then it gives you more options after selecting which one of those options you want. I might have a go at uploading straight to the internet because it gives you the option of high definition....

r-gibson (Dec 19, 2011 at 19:28)

thats so weird haha. try that. lol

Orsumness (Feb 28, 2012 at 14:16)

It doesn't work

Yeah haha. It looks a lot like china camp!

TheKrausey (Feb 28, 2012 at 1:50)

I like the Diablo part. I ride there sometimes, but I feel like the DH bike it too much for most of the trails there. I need to search for DH out there.
