 too many tress and switchbacks in your way of DHilling, I guess, that's why the speed was kind of slow. Unlike those world class DH event, the courses were usually wideopened designed for speed. I would considered this kind of course for all mountain bikes. If added with skinnies, log rides, etc.. it would be a perfect VOD.

 For how and what he was riding, I think he was a bit over dressed. His riding was nice a fluid, but if I could take breaks as well between sections I would almost look like I know how to ride. It was a nice video to see, but does not make me want to ride.

 Agreed
  • + 3
 I dont agree. He is filming a video wich would be broadcasted some where (like on pinkbike). He is wearing his sponsors and repersenting them and advertising for them.

All you pinkbike guys really need to learn, this guy races World Cups and 2nd at Nationals in pro and your calling him slow? Post a video and lets compare.

 well , its this kind of video that makes me wanna migrate to canada; I know lot's of people dissagree but for me this is what makes me wanna go for a ride
  • + 2
 i think thats partly why it may be vod, its just a simple fresh tight twisty trail,but it makes you feel warm and fuzzy cause its not dusty or rocky. I call it LUSH ENVY

 I've never seen a VOD fail so miserably so quickly, or at all for that matter. I guess the admins need to pay better attention to what they put up. On the bright side, this guy now has hundreds more hits he otherwise would not have gotten.

 You would have to be shown, it can't be explained. it isn't really worth the hike to be honest.

 i dont know if it was worth a VOD but its a good video and better than anything I could make. I dont like how you chopped down trees to make the trail tho...

 good vid guys! def vod potential
  • + 68
 WOW This is like the least veiwed/faved vid that got vod ever. Like I mean it's vod with only 462 views | 25 faves . Usually vids get VOD after more people have watched it. Also why IS this vod?!? There are plenty of better vids than this. I mean don't get me wrong this vid is pretty solid but not vod worthy imo. Here come the negative props.

 I think they are just randomly selected. A lot of the VOD's on here never make any sense.
  • + 19
 They definitely aren't random haha. The mods choose them I think.
  • + 36
 They sure seem random. I think that if the mods are selecting them, they should put up a statement. Something nice about why they picked it. Why they liked it, and why it is VOD, etc.

 Pretty solid video. And nice riding Simon. The angles are good but try to work on stabilizing your shots a little more, less fast jolty movement. Also cut your clips up a little shorter so hes ex. not so far away when the shot ends, or starts. Other than that. Good work guys! -ep

 Boys boys boys, Simon races at a world cup level and would smoke you on any trail. Lets think before we go on a say "worst vod ever" and "this sucks" Because I have personally seen worse Vods and this is by far not the worst. Simon, great riding buddy, good luck down under! Solid Video you guys, and Remi... agreed %100

 hands down, Simon kills it. you kids need to learn to respect good riding when you see it.
