This is by the most incredible vid on pinkbike. It really shows that anything can be shredded on just about anything, and let's be honest, this looks a heluva lot more fun than ripping that same course on an 8" bike would be. VOD!

cascadiacollective (Sep 24, 2012 at 19:13)

Thank you so much! It would seriously mean just about everything to me if this got VOD. We worked pretty damn hard on making this edit happen and Lucas and I alike would be ecstatic if it got to VOD status! Thanks so much for the support!

I've always believed short travel is way more fun. Thank you for emphasizing my point with this video you fuckin rip man.

Great riding, great trail. Better than most vods. Keep up the good work!

Definite VOD if it didn't already make it?
Awesome riding! Great trails and the sound of the tires on dirt was superb.

I can't decide if the videographer's constant hoots of encouragement add to the video or take away from it but the riding is stellar.

Love that he was riding a short travel ripper - don't agree with the argument that DH bikes don't have a purpose but I don't think that was the point of the video (a link on that debate brought me here).

Well done!

Cascadia, you mind deleting that post? We don't want or need PB randoms out here.

cascadiacollective (Sep 16, 2012 at 21:00)

Yeah did it. No problem! Totally understandable!

Lucky to have such sick trials!!! I have no trials near me that are a even a quarter as good as this one. All I do is ride Tarmac Frown

cascadiacollective (Oct 5, 2012 at 20:02)

That is super unfortunate man! Try to make a trip out to the NW or Whistler sometime!

fade-to-black (Oct 7, 2012 at 0:39)

however i do get to vist whistler for 5 weeks every summer. so i mountain bike every day to make for all the other days of crap biking.

cascadiacollective (Oct 7, 2012 at 22:16)

cascadiacollective (Sep 19, 2012 at 15:16)

Thanks! I tried to make something a bit less forced and a lot more organic this time around. Really mellow flat color corrects and very minimal slow mo! Turned out good if you ask me!

OrionW (Sep 24, 2012 at 9:56)

yup, it turned out good.
