In my opinion it sort of seems like a little teaser... Possibly it will be in NWD9... Other than that great choice for VOD!

redbull rampage goes to china? nwd 9? VOD for sure

nigeltheblack (Jan 30, 2008 at 9:14)

it is a really good video but i believe that pros shouldnt be given VOD for what they are paid to do... just my opinion though

kylemciver (Jan 30, 2008 at 13:54)

I really really like this stuff.

It seems like a lot of the lines shot in Utah now, and the later years of the Rampage seemed to be really manicured, so basically it was a slopestyle course with nice background. This seemed a lot wilder and natural with the riders using the terrain instead of changing it to suit their needs.

I know there was some stuff (pic of Bearclaw with a shovel), but I think the least that can be done the best. It's like ski movies, you don't want to see a tracked out face or groomed landing; you want to see the true natural state.

I loved the clip, especially the first line where the rider turns the corner, and while going down in the shade spits dirt over the edge which lights up in the sun. Just my two cents.

pedalpusher06 (Jan 29, 2008 at 19:00)

it looks great, fun, and all that good stuff but it gets to the point sometimes for me that i can only watch so much of guys just riding red dirt like that or the rampage. i dunno is it just me or do others feel the same?
not trying to put it down just sayin what im feelin.

jake-594 (Sep 28, 2008 at 12:46)

james-gordon16 (Nov 9, 2010 at 20:08)

I love how at the end he says this is only the beginning of the Gobi desert and that theres lots of potential for more shit and now almost 2 years later another vod from here haha

[Reply]

rellinger (Jan 30, 2008 at 17:28)

So many of thoes shots looked like big mountain ski lines, more then anything I've ever seen in a bike movie. That one line, along the ridge line then the big banking left turn down a chute carving turns all the way down to the bottom. Sweet!

whitetux (Jan 24, 2008 at 13:51)

AMAZING, VOD

theminsta (Nov 4, 2008 at 17:45)

I have to admit.. that was the best video I have ever seen. It was like pumping my adrenline all around my body when I saw Cam and Claw just drifting around on those steep-ass hills...

That was true freeride.

[Reply]

keenanbikes (Jan 30, 2008 at 20:02)

two amazing riders in search of new lands to ride on. I loved that dirt effect I bet if the NWD team worked over there they could have amazing trails it would make a great movie!

MTBfreak99 (Jan 30, 2008 at 14:37)
