Fest Series: Black Sage Highlights - Video

 Shocked by the lack of protections!!!! Where are the neckbraces, the back protections ? As pros on top of the sport i really wish they could show the (good) example... one day maybe, a crash will be lethal and then all the # will come up and everything.... please not again... for this reason, they shoukd take EVERY safety measure possible to minimize that risk: and it begins with wearing all protections.

 I too got half way and was bored but hey no one says you have to watch it all Frequently find mtb is way more fun to do than watch which is the way round i like it, watch bmx , skate, moto for stokes ride mtb for jokes

 I'm sure you guys are big enough to handle some feedback so here goes - I think these vids need some thought. The action is RAD but as vids they are weirdly a bit dull. No context or narrative structure to help the viewer.

1) introduce the location theme, and riders,
2) introduce some drama, working to get the course ready, trials and tribulations of getting the event running etc, mucking about beforehand etc. Show riders guinea pigging the course / working out how to ride it.
3) show the rad action now it has some context.
4) close out of everyone finishing up.

Easy to do as 1,2 and 4 could be done with 2 minute snippets of interviews or graphics but would make the vid stand up on its own better than the smogasboard of big jump stuff from start to end.

The notes are great but no one reads those...

“The first rendition of Black Sage by the Fest Series was hosted by Kyle Jameson & Carson Storch east of Bend, OR at the Oregon Dirt Park. etc etc.”

Get that into scripted into the video somehow and that’s a good start.

Just some thoughts as it’s by far some the raddest riding we get to see but I think the showcasing of it could be better
