Anticipation Pt. 1

May 14, 2012
by Scott Secco  

Opening day at the Whistler Mountain Bike Park is just days away and the anticipation to ride is at an all time high. After a long and very snowy winter in Whistler, the first tastes of summer are finally hitting the tongue as warm weather moves in and the first Giant Glory bikes arrive. With Trail Crew putting in countless hours digging, raking, packing and repacking, the first drop down A-Line will seem like summer never left. But it did, and now it's back. #SummersBack

 Bogus.... usually I love Australia.... then it's a northern hemisphere summer, and then I hate Australia..... like meow.

 Waiting for someone to somehow claim that something on here is "dubstep" and complain.
  • 15 7
 F*ck this dubstep, can't we get some real music sometimes?
  • 6 3
 Actually, in 90% of the videos I watch at PB, I turn off the sound, and hear dubstep.
This video was played with Subscape.
  • 4 5
 I am so sick and tired of soundtracks using -insert any music genre-. It's like video-graphers have nothing better to do than pick -insert any music genre- for their edits. I've had it with -insert any music genre-. If I hear another edit using -insert any music genre- I'll snap. Whew. That feels a LOT better.

 I dont care about the music really, as long as the riding is good im happy!
  • 6 0
 Agreed, long as it's good i'm happy. I'm a bit sick of any electronic music being called dubstep, it's like a go-to word for people with no musical vocabulary.
  • 3 0
 I don't listen to electronic music at all...but I will NEVER EVER play another song over the original in the video because I have to respect the artistic choice of whoever made it. I generally don't like electronic music...but shit, it works for bike videos and it's what whoever made the video wanted.

 Why not, I do it all the time. It's entirely up to you how you watch something, you don't have to respect any choices at all.
  • 1 0
 well thats your choice. not gonna rag on it cuz thats what you want. i dunno...i guess i view the musical choice as an integral part of the final video so i like to experience that. but hey man, its whatever floats ya boat.

 Except that isn't dubstep. It's good, but it's not dubstep.

 That is dubstep... Gemini IS dubstep incarnate.

 What you hear there sir is not dubstep, or anything like it.
  • 2 3
 then what is it
  • 1 4
 That is dubstep, it's borderline, but it IS dubstep.
  • 4 0
 Gemini is more electro and house, with a tiny hint of dubstep but not really. There aint any dubstep in this vid, it's just electro. As I said above dubstep is now being used as a go-to word for people with no musical vocabulary.
  • 2 0
 Yah this isn't dubstep.
