iainc92 (May 13, 2009 at 0:16)

sorry but i dont think its a great vod. track looked ok, but the riders werent the best and got a bit boring.
nice edit though

freebord007 (May 13, 2009 at 0:29)

i dont this video is very good at all.. the shots were good.. but all the flashy editing such as the two different shots next to each other was really just a distraction overall...

bmxer-adam (May 13, 2009 at 2:45)

nice vid but i think there are others that deserved vod more than this but some really nice angles there and nice editing...the nothshore's looked really nice to ride aswell.

come on, not everybody on pinkbike is pro, like yourselves obviously, it was awesome editing and a fun track, deserves VOD

bmxer-adam (May 13, 2009 at 2:55)

yes it was awesome riding and a fun track and ok we might not be pro but there are better videos than this on pinkbike.

jake95 (May 13, 2009 at 2:58)

it wasn't directed at you, i do have to agree with ya tho

bmxer-adam (May 13, 2009 at 3:01)

oh right sorry Big Grin

commencal19 (May 13, 2009 at 3:23)

pretty cool editing but apart from that id say the rest was just average

timlake (May 13, 2009 at 4:01)

Is it possible to go fast on those tracks? Or do you have to go down real slow? Good edit though. Just the riding wasn't something I'd like to aspire too.

sarge101 (May 13, 2009 at 4:31)

a little bit of overkill on the editing. some of it was nice, but it was hard to watch the video, most of the time.

ncrider5 (May 13, 2009 at 5:12)

good filming, okay riding

krash8bit (May 13, 2009 at 7:10)

good idea but video was over-edited imo we should be still amazed by the riding rather then the editing skills

Tader16 (May 13, 2009 at 8:00)

crazy vod, and epic trails! I thought the editing was sick.

matty-dh (May 13, 2009 at 8:43)

good trail good tune ok riding decent editing vod! and for everyone saying it isnt the best out there..... there have been vods that were a lot worse of late

bunkey (May 13, 2009 at 9:36)

riding was a bit sucky imo. not heard crystal method for a while though so that was a bonus.

ru-the-ginger (May 13, 2009 at 10:55)

"kicking horse style" more like Dead Horse

style

editing was good though.

crazy-freerider (May 13, 2009 at 13:40)

pretty sick! i used the dictionary style intro for a vid once, its a nice touch! props on the vid!

unfknblvbl (May 13, 2009 at 15:17)

loved it man, but the music killed it imo. i watched it first with it muted and next level by showbiz & A.G. and i lined up perfect and sounded sick. just sayin. but good job man

bikesrcool6989 (May 13, 2009 at 15:30)

haha, xc racer fell asleep, what a suprise

Rattsl (May 13, 2009 at 16:39)

I didn't like it too much, some of the editing was overkill and it was too cheesy for my liking.

ratherberidin (May 13, 2009 at 20:59)

have any one of you rode kicking horse, if you have you would know the trail difficulty there. It is steep, rocky and gnarly and that one guy is CRAZY for nose manualing down that rock face. it is way better then "okay riding" also the editing was a bit much but it was kinda cool in some spots.

gnarkore (Jun 27, 2009 at 21:43)

They can ride backwards pretty fast.

stupid-deep (Jul 30, 2009 at 14:38)

jake95 technically they are pros lol they do ride for a living

almostwise (May 13, 2009 at 1:50)

Loved it. Some of those trails looked like a lot of fun. The music span me out a bit - I was listening to Vegas already...muted it to watch the vid and what comes on? Big Grin

why is this vod???

callum181093 (May 13, 2009 at 3:37)

cos its cool

JonahH1992 (May 13, 2009 at 3:49)

i know quite a few people will disagree with me but this is vod because of the editing (at times) was very good. for me everything else was pretty bad particularly because those riders had zero air style it was just bowlegged tweakse an stupid bar tweaks all the way through. only skillfull bit of riding was the endos.

callum181093 (May 13, 2009 at 3:51)

well said

Gritstone (May 13, 2009 at 3:56)

Ok the riding was half, The editing kinda old school. But the Shots and bikepark it has to be said, were pretty cool! Nice VOD

Riding looks like so much fun! I want to go to kicking horse. Great edit, great VOD!

[Reply]

woolin (May 13, 2009 at 5:59)

Makes me want to ride there. That's the point of VOD right.

[Reply]

leprechaun11 (May 13, 2009 at 6:06)

i almost went riding there. now i really want to go! the vod was fantastic. the riding, the editing, the filming, fantastic! tup

[Reply]

coldsmoke420 (May 13, 2009 at 6:29)

That was the coolest bit of editing I've seen. What editing software was used? Props for making a unique vid.
Good VOD!

goldenizen (May 13, 2009 at 8:07)

Thanks. Quite a mixed bag of responses. I used Sony Vegas Platinum.

shondo (May 13, 2009 at 9:42)

Good video. Fun edits. These negative ass-hats on Pinkbike have no idea how steep or exposed some of those trail segments are at KHMR. Gawd....these posers talk a lot of shyt-smack from behind a keyboard.....
Any how,
well done. A+.

coldsmoke420 (May 13, 2009 at 21:09)

Thanks for the info. I've been using Pinnacle and I'm not that happy with it. Golden rocks, I can't wait for the trails to clear. I might take a stab at 7 this weekend.

twistedmistersartz (May 13, 2009 at 7:10)

Sweet vid and awesome edit job. You had me at "I want you to trip like I do". I love riding to crystal method!!! and for those confused, I like listening to crystal method when I ride, not doing crystal meth while I ride.

valtra (May 13, 2009 at 15:17)

Do you have their new album yet? I got it the day it came out and it has some sweet riding tracks.

twistedmistersartz (May 13, 2009 at 15:57)

No haven't gotten it yet but I'll get on it!!!

luckynugget (Aug 8, 2009 at 13:11)

whats wrong with meth while you ride?

twistedmistersartz (Aug 9, 2009 at 17:24)

because by the time you are 16 you will have sold your nice bike and you will be riding down the street at 2am on some old beater with a flash light duct taped to your handle bars looking for something to steal. And that is the truth!!!

littleclint (May 13, 2009 at 8:36)

i dont like it total shit not vod worthy at all

[Reply]

goldenizen (May 13, 2009 at 8:51)

I appreciate the comments, good and bad. Criticism keeps art honest.
Just a reminder though: the riders are not professional athletes. They are a couple bike patrollers I asked to help me showcase Kicking Horse Bike Park. They have jobs, mortgages, and for one of them 2 kids. They are not endlessly trying to create the latest trick to sell to sponsors. They are a couple fellas who love to ride their bikes whenever they get a chance. Like most of us.

shondo (May 13, 2009 at 9:43)

Fukking Preach!! Testify.

greg01 (May 13, 2009 at 14:50)

Great VID...the editing was very cool, and the riding was true. It takes alot of guts to ride those trails..

A Transition something and a Norco something

I was just wondering if that one was a Giant Reign.
It looked similar!

If it's not a DH bike, KHBP will eat it for breakfast.

TravisC (May 13, 2009 at 9:17)

Half you girls whine about editing or style, bet you couldent make it to the bottom of that mountain with out crying about sore hands and flattened arches? How many vids do you see come out of Golden any ways?

shondo (May 13, 2009 at 9:47)

Man,....exactly. That mountain is a MoNstER, and half of these kids have never seen anything as steep and severe as that hill at KHMR.
Arm pump? Finger burn? Knee quiver? You betcha.

omg this video is soo oldschool- the editing , the music, dare i say it- the riding- pencil tweaks, t ups, stoppies. could have been vod like 5 years ago.

citizensnips (May 13, 2009 at 11:36)

KHMR rules the roost!! Anyone here who is dissing these guys, should get out and ride. I have ridden all these trails in the vid, and i can testify that it is some of the steepest gnarliest terrain i have ever ridden. Second to Mount 7. Great showcase of a great bike park, cant wait for this season, gonna be epic!! Time travel to Blaster to Pioneer. BYah
