"Just a nice little booter here , nice little kicker here" well shit if the Claw says it's just a nice lil booter than I'm pretty sure I can nail it. OHHH sh!t he didn't say that little meant 60 foot gap with 20 foot tall kickers.

NWD and Kranked were the main choices earlier on, so good. But this, this is next level. Red Bull is the best sponsor/company out there by far.
While you feel that action sports owes so much to Red Bull, I am more likely to say that the world of action sports has created huge opportunity for Red Bull.
It's good business. They see opportunity to invest and profit, and in the end, it helps sports expand. It's all good, but it's just business.
I remember a world before Red Bull, when everything was sponsored by other large corporations like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, McDonalds... the money is always out
there for good ideas regardless of which corporation seizes the opportunity for profit. In the case of extreme sports, Red Bull has managed to dominate, that's why you aren't seeing "support on the level of Red Bull's". Market dominance. Monster is certainly trying to get their share as well, but don't have the same resources... but they might someday, if they invest wisely and profit well. If Monster had been created first, the roles would likely be reversed.
When I first posted, most of the posts before mine were throwing all the praise at Red Bull for the movie, and I felt like that sucked... that's like giving the
publisher all the credit for the brilliance of an author, or giving a record label all the credit for a musical artist's songwriting skills. Nothing more, nothing less.
And I have to agree with the ones who give credit to Red Bull Media House for not making it look all nice and shiny.
While I don't think that this alone is the essence of MTB (at least not to me, and its debatable), it might well be just about the best portrait of this aspect I've ever seen.
It's about a lot more than only getting on your bike and just go straight ahead, and I'm freakin amazed this trailer got to capture it!
After the first short trailers that came out, I suspected it would be really polished and some kind of 'unnatural'. Just showing what those guys can do (which is straight unreal,no doubt) but not capturing the whole thing and the process of getting to the point where it all works out.
Particularly with RB Media House doing the production, like you said, they would have all the resources and skills in the world to just make it look effortless and perfect, but I'm happy the apparently chose to do otherwise.
And that's not to downplay it because lets be honest, without sponsor funding, bad ass movies like this don't get made. I just think that the Redbull connection that people are making isn't correct. It's not all the same people making and producing these films.
Still, by putting that much of their resources into this product, it's probably safe to say that they'd have enough influence to have the movie go into the direction or style they want it to be.
So I agree with you guys completely, RB seems to be doing one heck of a job of pushing the right people to get some amazing things out of them, which is inspiring to say the least!
Can't wait for the whole thing!

In the "answers" section on the Polaroid Web site, the company says that shaking photos, which once helped them to dry, is not necessary since the modern version of Polaroid film dries behind a clear plastic window.
The image "never touches air, so shaking or waving has no effect," the company said on its site. "In fact, shaking or waving can actually damage the image. Rapid movement during development can cause portions of the film to separate prematurely, or can cause 'blobs' in the picture."
A Polaroid spokesman added: "Almost everybody does it, thinking that shaking accelerates the development process, but if you shake it too vigorously you could distort the image. A casual shake typically doesn't affect it."

I guarantee this won't live up to the hype? Remember strength in numbers? That was probably the most over-hyped movie, and it wasn't really that good, and now everyone has forgotten about it. I bet this goes the same way. Bring back the older videos like NWD etc.
That said, I tend to enjoy watching stuff that I enjoy riding, it's each to their own really. I just haven't seen anything in this film that's really that new...
but than again I cant wait for the next ride....
