Huge shout out to Clay Porter and Chris Seager for slaving away on this masterpiece, all for the love of mountain biking! Another shout out to everyone that helped Kyle J and Jeff Herb along the way, FiveTen Shoes, Colege Cyclery, Clif Bar, GoPro, the SwanPound inc, and all the friends and family that came together to make this happen.
Look at all those obsolete 26'ers and those outdated bikes! Those punks, don't they know their bikes will have no resale value! Besides why ride a downhill bike when you can get a do-it-all trail bike!
Fest, mother fuckers.
@NiklasRausch: You know semenuk is good buds with a lot of these fest guys, right? Ran into him at CGP the weekend before Cruzfest, he was pretty psyched on going to it. Asked if he'd be doing the other Fest events and he said maybe but he has other projects he wants to work on, but the other guys don't treat him like he's not one of their own. Only you commenters on Pinkbike do. There are actually other slopestyle riders who do nothing BUT dirt jumps and slopestyle, but nobody ever says anything about them. Semenuk throws down on just about everything with two wheels, but people have to be snarky and comment about him in a fashion similar to yours. End rant, that shit is real dumb.
@anchoricex: Dude, I'm sorry, didn't want to attack you ore Semenuk this way.. I'm watched him riding the last 10 years and it makes me nervous if I push the playbutton to see a new edit the first -and also the second time. Was surprised to see him in this video, in a positive way for sure! I would love to see him and also some of the others at any Fest. So, you interpret my words the worst case, but yes, wasn't smart writing a comment which can be provocative and pushing the thing you talked about Maybe my imagination comes from reading all the other stuff like that.. . Think it was the first and the last one, next time I will explain my words in more detail. Saw him riding live two times but hadn't the luck to meet him face to face, I guess he's a nice guy and I have a lot of respect for what he do. Have the impression he's a perfectionist and keep things more serious than anyone else, that's impressive too and also the reason I believe he unfortunately will not come around to Belgium. Because for me he is the man who pushed the sport in the direction like it is an Olympic discipline, being an pure athlete and full focused on the competitions. There is nothing wrong with, it's simply different. On the other hand Lacondeguy going the way of having fun, nothing else. Don't care about judges (Rampage excluded maybe ). That's a strong contrast. So, I was at Loosefest last year and the whole thing seems to be a party, far far away from competitions, perfectionism and (don't missunderstood) expensive movie productions. That point has nothing to do with the size of the jumps, we all know he can throw a lot of crazy stuff. In my imaginations he's a bit of an concentrated "untouchable guy". But hey, Brandon, if you read this, please take the plane to Europe and come around from 19.-24. July, for you I will take some more tasty beers with me. I don't know you but hope to see you riding some more times and if I'll see you, I will come over with the tasty beer I talked about . Would be a big pleasure for me to see you all guys riding the FestLine in Malmedy. Unexpected but definitely the best event I'll watched this year. To repeat the sense of my reply.. I'm sorry (for my English too), didn't want to attack anyone, guys like you, Brandon and Andreu doing a lot for our sport and I really hope we'll see us in Belgium.
No they are not! Mine serves as my "do it all bike". And with the Pinion gearbox set up we are doing, the range is going to be perfect for climbing it.
Brandon is next level in the style department...unreal how small he makes those jumps look, even compared to the other guys.
Bring on the downvotes...it was great muted....
Clay porter is a God. I don't know where I'd even start with the making of this- the best in the world all turn up at the sickest set of jumps going and it's your job to capture it? No pressure! I think my mind would implode. Can't imagine how long he's spent in front of a monitor to pull this together and the top comment is 'finally' !!!! ????
Aggys little wrist drop on the whips is one of the things that makes it look so stylie. Almost like he is just revving it to the limiter on a dirtbike... Gotta try and copy that, looks sick
Bah. Bunch of old guys.
kidding. Enjoyment. Can't believe sometimes that you can get a DH bike up to that much speed to clear those things.
Next time, more Kyle Strait please. Flow like water, he does.
So Metal! Loving the retro graphics on Andreu's Kawie. Reminds me of my KX125 I had when I was 15. The Fest vibe is rad. These dudes rip for no other reason than the love of being on 2 wheels with their homies and pushing the sport
I love watching anyone send a mountain bike... but I find it much more riveting when the terrain illuminates what a gravity sled can tackle, that a motorbike cannot.
That is why i think i prefer my mountain bike over my motorcross bike. Different feeling on the gravity bike and something surreal about not having the engine. Not that i do not love a motorcross bike, just diferent.
Was loving the 3 show, than semenuk went up with his combo back flipper, than at the last moment......the fronty........HOLY f*ck YEA! FEST RULES......... :0
AWESOME AGAIN!! From the Fest Crew, love watching these guys. Some names I ain't heard before too, great use of slo-mo' too. Good to see Brandon joining in, anyone who can hit those jumps is more than welcome in my eye's; MORE PLEASE!!
How these guys hold down their regular 9-5 with this going on is amazing. Looks dangerous if you ask me. Heaven help them if their employers OR mothers see this.
