Absolutely. While the shots are fairly good, the thing that makes this video is amazing editing. Top notch.

too much slomo, in my opinion the video is ok, but riding not good enough for VOD and some obvious errors in the editing are noticeable

woodygebhardt (Apr 14, 2009 at 0:12)

does the cliche panning to the right or left alot but i wouldnt say its too bad of a video. fav worthy i guess

jonathangross (Apr 14, 2009 at 3:43)

Too much SlowMotions.. Song doesn't fit, Normal day riding, Not Vod Worth.

Good camera, good editing... doesn't meant that it should get Vod...

bbakus (Apr 14, 2009 at 6:40)

agree in 100%. It is nice because it makes you feel better 'cause that song is beautiful, but hey! There are many better videos like nothing serious by roodawa bikers (it's only example) etc.

Matt-W (Apr 14, 2009 at 10:33)

its ok, but cliche filming style and low quality riding lets it down.

Tejj (Apr 14, 2009 at 11:34)

everything about that video put me to sleep

dray (Apr 14, 2009 at 12:33)

complain much... thats all people do on pb. Im sick of it because no one can agree with a good pod or vod. someone has to bitch about it, no one will ever learn to just suck it up and deal with it!

jamesbigjumps (Apr 14, 2009 at 13:50)

dont think its a very good VOD tbh

ladd88 (Apr 14, 2009 at 14:37)

the song is so boring but a very nice vid

jessei44 (Apr 14, 2009 at 15:18)

yo man
sign up for this
http://sessions.searchpluswin.com/?cmd=sb-register&rb=415751 />k what it is... its a web site like google right, its even powered by google you use it exactly how you would use google. so lets say you search on google every couple searchs(i don't know how many) you will get points you can use these points to put towards like snowboard gear (as in really rad t-shirts, and
and some gnar stickers) its pretty sick and its all for free. just set it to your home page

melonhead1145 (Apr 14, 2009 at 15:32)

while the riding isnt anything special and the video is of the same parts of a track over and over, and the video drags on a bit, i think it is VOD worthy because of the editing is amazing, and the song fits so well with the editing

so26forlife (Apr 14, 2009 at 19:17)

all ya sessions is the shit

bunkey (Apr 16, 2009 at 8:21)

Riding and camera work was pretty mediocre tbh, the music isnt really shred worthy, and the editing was way too predictable imo. its nice, but not really the right technique for a bike film - gets boring tbh. Style of filming/editing/music would much better suit a Romantic Comedy than a mountain biking film, especially dh/freeride imo.

so26forlife (Apr 16, 2009 at 19:27)

u trying to say that dh and freeride is pussie
its a lot harder than dirt jumping

bunkey (Apr 17, 2009 at 12:41)

no mate, im saying that its too soft for dh. why the f*ck would i bash my own sport?

so26forlife (Apr 17, 2009 at 17:26)

ok srry i didn't no that u also downhilled

bunkey (Apr 17, 2009 at 17:35)

check profiles before making assumptions.

so26forlife (Apr 19, 2009 at 10:05)

ya i guess its just that most of the people on PB dirt jump

cyrix (Apr 21, 2009 at 2:36)

People here have no respect for artistic vision in videos. They just want some classic rock/metal track layed over some DJ stuff. It's obvious a lot of heart and insight was put forth when he made this video, as opposed to a bunch of horribly cropped clips set to some Rise Against. This ranked up there with the last section of F1RST as far as being able to portray some emotion and thought.

so26forlife (Apr 21, 2009 at 7:41)

razorimages (Apr 14, 2009 at 4:56)

Hi everyone,
i'm the maker of this video (though my friend Nobrain uploaded it)

First of all i would like to thank you all for your comments, and would like to say i did not intend to be VOD...

On word for those of you who find this video boring : you're quite right. This was made with my photographer's eyes (i'm not a real videographer actually) and i wanted to make something more "poetric" (i.e. boring maybe!) than full of actions.
That's my point.

I totally understand you may find this boring, but i've tried to make something different than the classic punk/hip hop/metal MTB videos.
Clay Porter is moving the same way as i am (with waaaay more talent than me). I think MTB movies must meet skateboard movies.

Thank you all.

b0zero (Apr 14, 2009 at 7:05)

It isn't boring at all mate. Only the dumb as*es that can't ride and watch only pros can find it boring.
It's ok for me and definetly deserves VOD!

rosspecialized (Apr 14, 2009 at 12:29)

dude i dont only watch pros, i just like watching a video that gets me in the mood for riding... unlike this one

woodygebhardt (Apr 16, 2009 at 21:31)

i prefer to watch usergenerated movies that get pod over clips from famous movies anyways

Preston671 (Apr 16, 2009 at 21:36)

You mean VOD?

woodygebhardt (Apr 16, 2009 at 21:45)

f*ck, yes i do

BUGEYrider (Apr 14, 2009 at 5:28)

ça manque un oeu de gaz et le trip french poetic lover c'est un peu mort depuis le passage de CG Smile

mais bon c'est une quand même une bien belle vod française alors...
Bravo!

kqmtb2006 (Apr 14, 2009 at 15:26)

cool video but the im kind of tired with what seems like a lot of VODs with all this vignetting going on. the flashes got kind of annoying too but overall cool video the riding looked fun just maybe a little repetitive to watch

[Reply]

bradical666 (Apr 14, 2009 at 9:39)

1. song sucked, not a song that you would ride to
2. riding sucked, slow, skidding corners
3. good editing
4. fancy camera

this is not a VOD!!!!!
just cause the camera's nice doesnt mean that its a vod!
learn to ride!

crewmember (Apr 14, 2009 at 9:51)

i agree
the editing was the only good part of the whole vid

steve3265 (Apr 14, 2009 at 12:15)

first to bradical666, its quite obvious he can ride and just because the jumps arent big doesnt mean they arent good to ride, its flowy its meant to be smooth not big and tricky.
second this is a great vid and i hope i find another one like this soon

[Reply]

bentupbiker (Apr 5, 2009 at 17:24)

definitely VOD but put some more thought into the flashes next time around.

[Reply]

freeridenthusiast (Apr 14, 2009 at 11:00)

i agree with incorporating aspects of skate films, i understand what you guys were going for, something from aphex twin or plaid, maybe even radiohead, i think would work pretty well, they all have a ton of music and it varies greatly.

[Reply]

dropinonanorco (Apr 14, 2009 at 15:18)

It wasnt all about going huge and getting crazy it was about the funt stuff of riding when getting hurt it as a minimal low...I sit here in a cast relaizing that sinlgetrack is really where I have the most fun riding , just being real flowy and getting into the riding. Just me though..sick vid guys good editing and timing well deseved VOD

[Reply]

MudSweatAndGears (Apr 14, 2009 at 0:14)

Not Vod. Too much of the slow-mo action and image to black flashing which spoiled the action. It's my opinion and I know you'll disagree.
Some nice looking flowy singletrack riding otherwise.

[Reply]

sam-stuff (Apr 14, 2009 at 13:09)

LOL at "kona-kid" up the top, ""thats sick! whats the song btw?"" wtf?? how can you say its sick if you havnt even watched the whole video. it says the song at the end Big Grin

lol

NateBiker10 (Apr 14, 2009 at 5:01)

great editing. but not very good riding. ide give it a 7 out of 10.

[Reply]

redfordtrails (Apr 14, 2009 at 20:48)

I see the points of people not liking it and not wanting to see it as VOD. BUT I havn't seen an edit like this yet in the sport. So it interested me and the trails looked uber fun.

[Reply]

thekickingmule (Apr 14, 2009 at 3:04)

Would probably have looked better if there was more riding in it at full speed. Watching people ride around one corner gets tiresome. Also, looks like that would be much more fun on a hardtail IMO

poutine (Apr 14, 2009 at 16:24)

sweet quality but i think the editing could be better. i dont say I could do better i just think that the quality of the image and this song could have a better editing to fit togheter !

4chords (Apr 14, 2009 at 5:17)

1st of all....Who gives a f*ck if there not big jumps that is not the point moron, and so what if you could do it on your hard tail...its not like he said the jumps he was doing were huge.
2nd... Nobody cares if you dont like the music. He chose what he thought suited the movie the best. Slow motion creative angles= soft slow quiet music. Shit its not that hard to understand.
3rd...What the f*ck is with your last comments? Chances are everybody agrees with me that you are an annoying tool. You just write stupid useless comments.
