 You don't like repetitive noises for 6 minutes?
  • 24 12
 yeah i don't usually complain about the music but my god, that felt like a weevil digging into my brain.
  • 10 9
 Please just make that noise stop

 Completely agree, he had a lot of good stuff to say alongside great riding but you had to suffer the soundtrack to hear it and boy did that grate on the ears... like nails on a blackboard isn’t far off.

 @milanboez thanks! Its hard to find descent music so glad you enjoyed it. If your looking for work, im hiring a music consultant if your interested?

 I was gonna say basically the same thing. Great camera work and awesome shots, but then...that noise. Oi....

 @Scrobb: So sick man, music works well

 Am I the only one who liked the song? Better than that punk/metal garbage surrounding every other video.

 Fact: No song will ever be perfect enough for a Pinkbike audience.

 @Scrobb: for sure music taste is totally subjective and you'll never please everyone. Finding the right track for an edit is always difficult, especially if copyright is a concern. I'm not sure my guitar skills qualify me as an artist I'm afraid. If you want filming and editing help though I'll be on the next flight to NZ!

 @Scrobb: thanks for the offer, I already have employment though Wink but on the flip side, if you’re looking for a good piece that would have fit this well and may be useful for the future... Ocean by John Butler is a saweeet track by a great artist from down under!

 Where's that gap jump? Kinda looked like the outlet at Wanaka
  • 1 0
 I think it's up the road towards Glenorchy in the burned patch

 Never-mind, watched it again and you're probably right

 @Joshsmiht: It's in Wanaka
  • 1 0
 It's the outlet. I think it was put in for the Drop In boys, but the old run in and landing were super sketchy. The next move was a cliff drop to scree slope down to the lake.

 "...For some the i know aren't too bad I just get it over and done with"
Conor, I like you and you seem like a nice dude but gfto man, the gap looked huge and the landing is narrow as hell. As someone who pisses his pants on a 5m double I don't appreciate that kind of sarcasm ! Wink

 Anyone knows the redbull tv broadcasting time? It says 2pm for SaoPaulo/Brazil/TimeZone. Just want to make sure it is correct. Any other person from another region can confirm what time the app says?

 @EckNZ: You'll only let people in with the right skills? That shit will get you called a Nazi over here.

 Man forget about Rampage - he could be the first Joyride competitor on a DH bike with that bag of tricks

 Dayem, what a banger video... knocked it out of the park guys... definitely on my shortlist of videos for VOY! Goodluck Connor... you were a fricken trooper last year!

 Hope he doesn't try to show off any of those flipity, dipity tricks at Rampage. That's no place to show off your "skills". Just keep it big and boring alright.

 So what's better, Wanaka/Queenstown or Whistler? It looks like Whistler might still have a better overall trail network.
