Wonderful Aaron! I love the Neil Young!

Ont26Rider (Feb 13, 2013 at 11:13)

Agreed love the Neil Young, its a change from some of the music you here again and again.

robtett (Feb 17, 2013 at 7:43)

haha agreed aswell! never thought Neil Young would work in a biking video but it deffinitely did here!

I don't know if it was the overdose of girl-scout cookies earlier but this video... it has spoken to me and changed my life.

Great cinematography. I love the tight crop and the pace of the edit. Its inspired me to get my 'real' camera out instead of the iPhone!

What camera do you use for video? There seems to be a nice dynamic range to the footage.

Robsta (Feb 13, 2013 at 15:17)

Uses a Panasonic AF100 as far as I know mate.

curnsie (Feb 13, 2013 at 23:37)

Thanks for that.

henryfitzgerald (Feb 14, 2013 at 22:52)

How did you get the panning shots if it was self filmed

mindspark (Feb 15, 2013 at 10:44)

Yes, I'm using an Af100 on this. The panning shots were animated in final cut within the tight crop of the video.

curnsie (Feb 15, 2013 at 14:40)

thanks

Nice edit, what type of backpack do you have for all that camera gear and tripod?

mindspark (Feb 25, 2013 at 13:28)

I'm using the Evoc CP35L Backpack

that's a really good self film, I didn't realize it was completely self filmed until after I watched the vid and then read it, great job!!

Would be better if he was riding 26". I've ridden my 29er once this season and realized that it's way to cumbersome in legit sections. Going to be up for sale now.

mtbrider02 (Feb 17, 2013 at 15:01)

ive always thought that the 29er would be a hard bike to maneuver in techy sections, especially turns, but ive never rode a legit 29er so kept my mouth shut Smile

powerline (Feb 18, 2013 at 0:06)

iv come to the conclusion that a 27.5 would make the best all mountain bike for me . hopefully ill buy one in the future

kyleeiji (Feb 22, 2013 at 15:37)

29ers are dope!! it just takes more than one ride to get used to...

powerline (Feb 22, 2013 at 21:02)

I assume he rode it more than once ....just not this season.....

apcastagno (Feb 23, 2013 at 15:36)

I bought it a couple years ago and rode it for a full summer and thought I liked it a lot, went back to 26 and was killing it, way faster in every way for all mountain riding.

you riding with a lip of chew in? or just your tongue in your cheek?

trimakas (Feb 21, 2013 at 14:59)

Ha!

mindspark (Feb 25, 2013 at 13:29)

never realized I did that until shooting myself. Definitely tongue-in-cheek while riding!

DiamondbackBuddy209 (Feb 13, 2013 at 5:12)

Ah man! That was such a good idea to get the pans! Can always appreciate a self-shot video.

mindspark (Feb 25, 2013 at 13:29)

Thanks!

GBVideography (Feb 13, 2013 at 9:00)

Nice work! Smart idea to crop it tight to let you get some tilts in there without losing quality.

mindspark (Mar 12, 2013 at 21:15)

Nubbie-123 (Mar 13, 2013 at 7:26)
