If you have seen the Semenuk's "Life behind the bars 3" you will recognize that the road gap at 1:12 in this video is the same that the crazy dude takes semenuk's bike and jump!

Trying to imagine being the guy on the trail (in Santa Cruz?) who just happened to run into these 4 guys with those 4 bikes while filming this spot.

Aluminum's spelling makes so much more sense when ausies say it.

He uses the same clip twice! 2:18 and 3:07!!! First trip up I've ever seen Larock do. He IS human!

Aluminium* not aluminum.

logcabm77 (Jun 10, 2012 at 5:40) (Below Threshold) show comment

actually, its spelled differently depending on what part of the world you are from...in america...it actually is "Aluminum"

bolloksitsmeee (Jun 10, 2012 at 8:38)

Actually, American scientists even say it like the rest of the world. Its the the 'normal' american people that have no clue to to say it correctly. There is a youtube video on it somewhere.

foshizz (Jun 10, 2012 at 15:03)

My comment was meant to be a simple observation. It really dose not matter that much.

chrisinleedsuk (Jun 10, 2012 at 23:58)

doorknob100 (Jun 11, 2012 at 17:20)

I like how @foshizz points out a flaw in American pronunciation and everyone insults him while agreeing with him. Hmmm... not that big of a deal.

Bikelover079 (Jun 2, 2012 at 12:24)

by the end of the video, my bike was in truck and was already wearing my kit, so pumped 2 ride and such a sick looking bike!

Snowboardah (Jun 12, 2012 at 6:39)

Am i the only one that thinks bikes are getting way too expensive? It seems like its making it harder and harder for people to get into downhill. The only new budget friendly downhill bike I know of is the Status II, And i haven't even seen anyone riding it. Im not saying I dont like the demo, that thing is my dream bike, but its my DREAM bike because its so god damn expensive!

bikeaddict123 (Jun 10, 2012 at 3:07)

strange because the first thing i noticed when i got on a carbon v10 was how stiff and snappy it was through the corners... sam doesn't comment on that at all?

kris-g (Jun 15, 2012 at 16:01)

thats because thats a v10, not a demo......

bikeaddict123 (Jun 15, 2012 at 16:13)

carbon is stiffer though, i would have thought that would be noticeable on any carbon frame?

simonsilver (Jun 10, 2012 at 10:58)

Are you for real PinkBike? Like maybe you are unaware or something, but this it one of 2 trails in SC that AREN'T OVER RIDDEN AND POACHED BY OUT OF TOWNERS, way to show where the trail starts and ends! Thanks so much!

bvd453 (Jun 10, 2012 at 15:04)

Is this the same kid featured in a video in (almost) the same spot and then slapped the trail name on the video. Good job, bud.

simonsilver (Jun 10, 2012 at 15:29)
