Nice work!!! Definite VOD! I liked the combination of the different disciplines of our sport (street, dirt, freeride, dh).
Every aspect of our sport is great! Smile

accept for yours lol

owengd97b (Jan 28, 2009 at 12:12)

i know im gonna get loads of neg props but i actually think that the song and the fact you couldnt hear anything other than it made it sorta boring. my opinion though. you all seem to like it enough.

remrem (Jan 28, 2009 at 13:24)

needs more chayse marshall

Tejj (Jan 28, 2009 at 14:57)

i know what you mean.... i liked most things about the video, but i like to hear the biking a bit too, but awsome riding and video anyhow.
and the song was good untill he started singing, and then sounded like a dance beat, is anyone goan throw in some classic rock and roll into a video or what.?

dezim (Jan 28, 2009 at 17:40)

wow that was sick to say the least

freeflyforlife (Jan 28, 2009 at 18:07)

richstmanaliv100 (Jan 28, 2009 at 21:48)

riding...10/10
editing...10/10
music...epic fail
turn off the sound and add your own music....then youve got a great VOD

norconelson (Jan 28, 2009 at 22:11)
