i like the way you included the slower riders in the vid as well. i hate race vids that only pay attention to the top guys at every race.

I actually love this video.
It isn't mind blowing or super hardcore with kids trying to do quadruple backflip 360's on a road gap or something stupid...
It's classy, it's laid back, it shows what I think is the best part of this sport.
It didn't just focus on the top 2 or 3, it was edited very nicely, definitely getting fav'd.
