go-4-it (Jun 14, 2009 at 12:33)

I total agree with aron123!!! a bit of urban, xc, bmx, just to change it up would be great!! :~)

[Reply]

go-4-it (Jun 14, 2009 at 12:30)

nice vid. got a bit repetitious, but over all, good riding, good trails, good bikes, good song = VOD

[Reply]

george8 (Jun 14, 2009 at 12:58)

the riding doesnt look that spectacular but i understand it takes skill, but my point is that i got bored about halfway through because there isnt enough action, just people riding a dh track with little/no jumps

[Reply]

KonaManDan (Jun 14, 2009 at 12:59)

Oh My God he's riding an F5. Not something you see everyday..

tackytraks (Jun 14, 2009 at 14:21)

gdawg (Jun 14, 2009 at 20:44)

I thought it was an old school RMX.

tackytraks (Jun 14, 2009 at 20:45)

YoungStar (Jun 14, 2009 at 17:46)

Man mike shots and the colours, fantastic. Really though a bit repetative don't you think. Botom line is good video but a little to repetative for my liking to be a VOD.
