i wouldn't say VOD sorry. trail seemed a little boring

+ 60

dirtjumper571 (Apr 8, 2009 at 0:28)

same as above i wouldnt quite say VOD but there was some alrite riding in there, they kind of over did it on the slow mo i think lol. could have been better...

demonbiker48 (Apr 8, 2009 at 0:32)

+1

but great video

DAMZ (Apr 8, 2009 at 2:07)

tld make rastafarian race outfit! nice!

MattyCatchy (Apr 8, 2009 at 2:14)

I thought it was good. Over use of slowmo is what I think let it down. Not bad though.

Giant-Rider-Sam (Apr 8, 2009 at 2:17)

SlowMo overkill in my opinion...to much use of it !
Song was kinda gay aswell tbh...

Not as lame as yesterdays VOD though...

Only good thing was the fairly decent riding.

timlake (Apr 8, 2009 at 3:06)

nice vid. Not a brilliant VOD however.
The music just reminded me of GTA: San Andreas.

fooox (Apr 8, 2009 at 3:16)

Noone gonna comment on the bike?? O.K. i will: Funking sweet polkadot paint job!!!

feltstraightshot07 (Apr 8, 2009 at 4:40)

Coooool Barracuda

tobygoodger (Apr 8, 2009 at 7:09)

poor VOd in my oppinion, no veriety in shots or track, music wasnt great either, good riding though.

dranoel (Apr 8, 2009 at 7:37)

It was not that bad. I actually enjoyed watching it, the riding and the filming were good and the track seemed nice. The editting was not that good, it would be better with less slowmotion and maybe a different song.

runwithscissor09 (Apr 8, 2009 at 7:40)

Sorry too much slow motion guys. When I was editing in slow motion in HD you could easily see the dirt getting cut and the wind he made. Too bad there isn't 720p resolution on here

and gnarly song

Giant-Rider-Sam (Apr 8, 2009 at 11:46)

are you really that naiive? Rolleyes

hoernig (Apr 8, 2009 at 11:50)

Everyone likes a bit of slo-mo but that was just wayyy to much.. also the trail was kinda boring. I don't think this deserved VOD

a-line (Apr 8, 2009 at 12:07)

The trail didn't look fun at all.

Tejj (Apr 8, 2009 at 14:40)

it was an ok veideo.
but its about time someone put some classic rock in a video...great tune, Heart is amazing

vertex112 (Apr 8, 2009 at 15:36)

Music doesn't go with the video at all...

guywhowantsabike (Apr 8, 2009 at 16:00)

i think it was a great VOD because he was wearing the same pants as me.

giantgloryrider13 (Apr 8, 2009 at 18:44)

well someone is a fast lil barricuda Wink

vpfreeride25 (Apr 8, 2009 at 20:48)

it may be just me but it didnt seem like he was riding that fast either, could have been the slow mo though.

giantgloryrider13 (Apr 9, 2009 at 13:59)

true true lol Razz

bikounet (Apr 18, 2009 at 4:23)

Is this vid in port angeles?

[Reply]

norcofreeridderr (Apr 6, 2009 at 21:42)

Nice cut Andy. That last little section where he almost got bucked looks pretty gnarly!

shondo (Apr 8, 2009 at 7:07)

That course looks pretty tuff. the altered aspect ratio makes it hard to see how step some of the gnar is.
good effort.

nickf (Apr 6, 2009 at 21:48)

loving the way the aspect makes the rider look massive
some of the camera shots were nice though and the riding as good but sorry not vod

Kokentoe (Apr 8, 2009 at 1:54)

Agreed. I guess they're running out of good videos to be selected for VOD.

Coburn (Apr 8, 2009 at 2:35)

ya don't listen to these guys. It was a quality vid. honestly, not super stylistic but good pacing and riding. nice work.

[Reply]

Redchilli1984 (Apr 8, 2009 at 2:55)

Sorry but Vod? Maybe the same guys that voted this VOD, picked the winner of that Redbull video ed competition a while back, the winning Vid of that was a load of sh*t too.

telmoberg (Apr 8, 2009 at 5:12)

i don't think so :/

milanboy1986 (Apr 8, 2009 at 5:22)

it's true that this song is in GTA SA

telmoberg (Apr 8, 2009 at 5:35)

if it is sorry but i don't remember Smile

torrecrazydownhiller (Apr 8, 2009 at 6:48)

Erm no way VOD... and why the big travel bike on a such a smooth track?

[Reply]

lewy182 (Apr 8, 2009 at 5:55)

why american downhill vods lately there not proper downhill
theres no point in putting a full sus down them would be much better and faster on a hardtail

CaptainBLT (Apr 9, 2009 at 13:18)

I would love to see you ride a hardtail down that trail. Faster? I doubt it. Finishing the trail would be an accomplishment. Besides, this video, including the slow mo, etc is still shorter than the fastest time of the weekend.

Don't judge trails just by watching a video.

lewy182 (Apr 10, 2009 at 2:48)

it is a hardtail track tbh if you compare it to places in scotland pal. finishing it would be an accomplishment would it? shut up dont be so full of yourself. theres to many flat and smooth sections thats why u could get faster on a hardtail, and i think i can tell whats slow mo i didnt think u were that slow.

CaptainBLT (Apr 10, 2009 at 21:18)

I'm not full of myself dude, I have no illusions about my ability to ride this track. There are flat and smooth sections, but the majority of the track would not be faster on a hardtail.

My point was not that you couldn't tell what is/isn't slow mo. It's that you're seeing only about half of the track. So just relax and enjoy the video.

runwithscissor09 (Apr 11, 2009 at 0:23)

You guys need to see it in better quality so you can see what it's actually like without it being smooshed together. There is about 4 places where a hardtail would be sort of cool, but still not faster.

It is steep. It's the pro category race course
