Video: Cam McCaul and Ronnie Renner - Freeride Faceoff

 no doubt. for the title you'd be like "dude!" but it was completely underwhelming....like a lame advertisement for Tide detergent for "guys who get dirty on the trail." Lame...

 Agreed! One freeride MTBer + one freeride motocross rider + epic location + helicopter + multiple camera angles + a high budget actually = boring...?!!!!

 oh god, why did I look at the comments first. lol now I can't decide if I even wanna watch it.

 I almost shut it off til they crossed paths at 1:45. Didn't know what I was watching.

 For an advertisement it actually wasn't too bad. Could you imagine if something like this came on mainstream tv?

 I don't think it's that bad... It's just a faceoff between 2 Freeriders... Like in the western movies, they just oppose each other and draw. Allthough, I must admit it's not really their best shot...

 Yeah but they should've done a game of bike style of faceoff instead of some boring riding in slo motion with only about 30 seconds of big hits.

 True !
The picture shown at the start (Video-Title), really sums up all the duel-action in just a single snapshot...

 was a single trick thrown?

 Dat last shot tho...

 we feel you bro

 I didn't think this was the actuall edit, I though it was the trailer. Apparently not...

 They should have done something like this instead: www.youtube.com/v/KqBy1R7IMGE

 For sure! I'd never seen that video before, but I've always wondered what would happen with a moto vs. bike on a dh track.

 @SintraFreeride: THIS is awesome!

 Still... McCaul wins. I prefer going down over getting high.

 lol@dingo-dave
Was that a double entendra or is that just me?

 Just enjoy it if you think it is.

 I up-arrowed this comment!

 Sorry rendawg, the bar for even a little web edit has been set pretty high by our freeride brethren: Doerfling, Aggy, Hopkins, and DH'ers like Kovarik and CG.

A lot of us love moto just like mtb. We don't get many crossover's like this, so it was bound to be judged on a harsher scale.

Think about what happened with our movie "Where the trail ends". Arguably one of the greatest freeride films to come out in recent history, and guess what? Even segments of the target audience badmouthed it and acted like "ungrateful pricks". The riders in that film risked their lives in remote locations, and put down some of the best big mountain lines we've seen.

People simply don't take into account what even a short edit like this takes to make happen. It's judged solely on entertainment value, is this a good mindset to have? Maybe not, but that's the reality. I hope you don't get a bad idea of us MTB'ers just because a few keyboard warriors didn't appreciate this.

 Every one is hating because Ronnie's roost from his moto was 10x bigger then anything they have seen a mtb do and that's all these monkeys want to see. They simply could not process that much dirt being displaced so they revert back to primal ways and hate on things their underdeveloped brains can't process. Follow me was the greatest freeride film in recent history, and everything has gone downhill after that. Where The Trail Ends was so boring because Steven Peat did big mountain riding better 12 years ago. Ace's High monkeys

 Hmm. I respectfully disagree with your opinion regarding Follow me and WTTE. Follow me was great, but not the greatest freeride film ever imo. And WTTE boring? better big mountain riding 12 years ago? I just don't agree. lol

 I guess anyone who has a negative opinion are automatically ungrateful pricks. I don't think anyone is downing your film quality its a brilliant production but the content/concept is underwhelming. Call us all pricks if you like but you're in an industry to get consumers and unfortunately unless you can take these negative opinions on board you won't be able to produce something more appealing to wider audiences.

In no way am I and I hope no one else is discrediting the work that went into this or the brilliant camera work and production. What has been chosen and the concept, its been beautifully put together. The issue is while that's all well and good if the concept is brilliantly put together but doesn't entertain and the concept it flawed iteself it won't matter to the consumer.

We are a target audience and you have been given quite a lot of feed back, instead of getting pissed and calling everyone pricks maybe take it on board for next time.

 Recent history and greatest of all times are two totally different things.

 I don't give a hawtdawgin shizzlestick what the keyboard warriors say. This short film coupled with the music was so epic that I almost got teary-eyed

 It was cool... no need to get teary-eyed over it though, ya big baby.

 Btw, moto roost and mtn bike roost are two totally different things. You have this thing called a motor and a throttle. We have a crankset and fixed grips.

 Ha! I am a big baby though. I get teary eyed for epic bike shots. Oh, and explosions.

 @RendawgFMX - you' expect us to believe that this video was made for our benefit??? I wasn't born yesterday- that video was made entirely for commercial purposes. If you put an edit on an MTB site and give it the epic title of 'Faceoff'- then people are going to expect big things. Sorry dude, it just didn't deliver. Then to go on there and call your audience a bunch of pricks? Classy.

 well @gavlaa , I know why I drove 12 hours and busted my ass for 4 days in the cold rain digging and building jumps…. Cause I love it and had an opportunity to film a cool concept with one of the best mtb riders on earth, with some of the best film equipment made. Sorry to see that the FREE 2 minute video u watched didn't shiver your timber.. If it wasn't for sponsor support it wouldn't have happened. You must be the type that enjoys corny and brainless marketing.

 ^^ Rendawg, you really should just be grateful that what you do even gets this much exposure. There's plenty of people here who bust their ass just as much doing things no one will ever know or care about. Take the criticism on the chin, instead of alienating fellow two wheelers.

 @Rendawg - If I enjoy brainless marketing I would have loved this film- it was void of any real content yet Fox still put their name to it. Your desire to be offensive and personal with your insults makes you come across as a bit of a muppet. They say you should never meet your heroes.

 They know about life … PUNCH OUT YUPPIES AND SEND IT. …. killtrail.com

 Holy crap lol everyone should click that link.. So HARDCORE!!

 ^^^ Zimmer is right lol killtrail made my day

 @tworldsmine - maybe because most of us riders are quasi hippies at heart. I'd like to think were all kindred spirits who love the earth, love shredding dirt, and aren't some egotistical macho dudes who feel the need to inflate themselves. Ever met a hippie who wasn't down to earth? neither have I. and that's the way mountain bikers should be - the mellow surfers of the trails

 Someone might hate on the idea of Freeriders identifying with hippies, but it's totally true for me. This last year I rode a lot, spent days and days outdoors, never shaving or getting a haircut (who cares when you wear a fullface all the time?) and pretty much all my money either went to my bikes, gas for my truck, and food/beer/smokeables. Spending all day getting grimy and in touch with nature? Being in love with flying down mountains on top of a human powered machine? Sometimes not caring about laws or regulations telling you where you can roam? Sounds like a hippie to me!

you'll love this

 nice @slidways !

 thats some classic knowledge there...

 Half of it was to flat..

 Its definitely still worth a watch. It was more of an over-hyped marketing fail.
