 Riding was a bit tame to begin with, but definatly picked up towards the end. The chorus in that second song is such a rip off of the same vocal melody from Tears For Fears' 'Mad World' lol.

 my friend thinks that the only difference between freeride and downhill is that u ride for style or for speed. He thinks they are both done on the same trail. does anyone want to give him a big angry paragraph on how that is not true at all? cuz i am unable to convince him, and what u guys said reminded me of that.

flag Rideslots (Dec 23, 2009 at 17:48)
 Well, freeride has bigger drops and ladders and things, but downhill is mostly trails without drops and has no or very little wooden features... And tell him to read all the comment above me!

 Thank you Brad for filming me on our trails, the video came out awesome. Brad and I have put in a lot of time on these trails over the last few years, building new trail and rebuilding older trails that other friends I built years ago. It is really awesome to have these trails on film now and the quality of filming makes it even better.

Thanks to Transition Bikes and Brad for making this video happen.
