I cant stand when people bash riding when they have never personally been there. We all know that video does not do the course justice, and yeah we also all know that there is probably more gnarly, fast courses elsewhere BUT it doesnt change the fact that riding that would still be fun. Personally I dont think you can comment on something until you have actually ridden it. I have never been there, and I think that looks like a pretty fun course to ride. But hey what do I know, I have perfect teeth...

Did anyone else think that the music was total overkill for the type of riding.. I mean the riding was cool and technical but when I hear that kind of heavy stuff I want to be shocked a little bit more...

Its just heavy stuff with any kind of extreme sports video is a really lazy choice. Other genres take a bit more work as the base/drum beat is often less predictable and harder to time to the action but just because its easy doesn't mean that heavy stuff fits the action going on in the vid.

Thought the vid was a good edit... just seamed a bit of a mismatched vid/soundtrack combo to me. No offence ment btw

anyone notice how after riders wipe out they turn into awkward giants with no smoothness. lol Then when they get back on their bike again they are smooth and impressive once again. lol

if you think the music was heavy in this go check out Parkway Drive or Bring Me The Horizon. THAT'S heavy. this is more rock/alt.

iambike4lyf (May 25, 2009 at 6:03)

VOD = video of depression?

Taylor16 (May 27, 2009 at 11:50)

if your going to bitch then get off your ass and make a vod, shit

iambike4lyf (May 27, 2009 at 11:57)

im allowed to bitch cos that shuldnt be a VOD
i dont have a camera so cant make a vod but i know wat to expect from VODS

Taylor16 (May 27, 2009 at 22:27)

how about next time you feel like bitching you just dont say anything because your comment won't change anything.

iambike4lyf (May 28, 2009 at 2:39)

i guess you aint a fan of democracy?
check out all the other negative comments, i think who ever decides vods will see that and think more carefully next time
its a good vid in terms of riding but not the actual vid

Taylor16 (May 30, 2009 at 22:12)

no i am all for democracy. But if it was like that then there would be a perfect vod everyday now wouldnt there?

ma11 (May 25, 2009 at 8:32)
