VOD! Great work! Top notch production. Very professional and the audio quality of the natural surroundings was insanely good.

This was one of the best put together videos ive seen in awhile. Usually i just want to see riding but this was a perfect combination of riding and scenery. VOD for sure!

Just to clarify, I apologise concerning any comments that seem like they are from an complete moron or a troll from someone trying to clever. I am a victim of a string of unfunny prapes from my 'friends'. Its especially annoying when the are on quality vids like this one.

Can't believe I'm the first to comment on this one. Truly epic shots, magnificent scenery, pro editing and great riding. Almost a miniature mountainbike-version of 'Art of flight', and that means a lot! Great job guys!

well said.Straight to the fave list.

I was so stoked when I saw a mike hopkins video! especially a 7 minute long one! Then I realized there was only about 1 minute of riding. Props for the cinematics, they were excellent. Props for the riding, it was top notch. If only they were mixed rather than a movie of primarily cinematics with only a little riding. My 2c

I think it shows exactly what I understand as an essence of mountain biking. Exploring new places, exploring youreself and meeting new peoples. What a video guys! Kudos, hats off, arigato and dziekuje! Smile

Did he break the legs of his fork after he crashed at Rampage? Before the crash he runs the fork with white legs and after that he has black ones but the crowns are remain the same as before.
