Man this park is just amazing! Was there on Saturday... these trails in the video are freakin' good but there are tons of other lines for the non pro too and they all have the same kind of flow. The crew is super nice and the shuttle drivers are the guys from the coastal crew... you don't get that anywhere else! Semenuk, Peat and R-dog were also around for a few lap. Really cool to see them rip effortlessly.
Living in canada we cant ride a lot in the winter so we are a bit slower at the start of the year but once we get up to speed we do better. also he raced kids that were pretty much all older than him.
As far as legit results magnus has finished no worse then 5th in the junior Expert a category above the one he should be racing in, he did one super D in California but that is no DH race. He actually won Pro at a local race against a top 40 world cup racer.
No doubt, the riding in this video is sick.....but there were parts of that video where the play back is sped up, right? There are parts where they are doing no-handers and pedaling, that looks about 25-40% faster than I am capable of moving.... and certianly parts where they appear to be going about 50 mph through the woods.
I doubt two very talented riders like them would feel the need to speed it up. I mean it's a park video not a dh race video. Maybe it's just your browser or camera distortion.
Why yes. Everyone's cased a jump before. But seen as how you've been so kind to pull that out it was three years ago. And incase you couldn't see that those jumps weren't made for dh bikes, well, they aren't made for dh bikes.
Yea, I would understand if this were a live recording of a dj performance, but it's obviously a rush job on a computer. When you mix a track, you need to test it out on a variety of sound systems to make sure the mix is right. Having good studio monitors reduces this need because they have a flat response. The mix might sound good on your speakers, but unbalanced on others. This is pretty standard stuff, I'm just trying to help out. I think it's a good mash up, but sonically, the vocals are sitting too far in front of the main track.
Ah, if it was for a movie it may have been mixed in surround sound. Sometimes they don't bother re-mixing for stereo and just bounce it down as is, resulting in it sounding off on a L+R system.
(Sick music choice also).
Oh, and sick vid too. Can't wait to get out there, those trails look gorgeous, and these boys sure do fly!
