Just saw this video from Nick F and had to share it. Yes it is a joke, but a funny one none the less.

 This clip is gay , the noise is gay, The Guy is gay and no it isn't funny. I guess gay guys must find it funny !
  • 21 5
 ya i didnt find this very funny
  • 3 1
 Yea it's right under a major highway I don't know what he expected the noise to be like.
Other than that hell of funny, really shows "hipsters" whats up lol .
  • 3 2
 he's pretty good at whips!
  • 6 5
 xetalx sure knows what is gay and what gay guys like. Haha burn.
  • 6 1
 Im fairly sure nickf intended this to make fun of hipsters...
  • 7 5
 Hey xetalx don't cry...it's ok...it's alright to wear your little sister's jeans. Wipe those tears away with your wrist bands.
  • 2 1

 I will never get that 2:58 of my life back and I'm dumber because I watched that.
  • 9 2
 Damn NickF getting ripped on! Where is the fun side of anything anymore!? My bikes ORANGE; it's a sunset color, like a sunset! HAHAHAHA
  • 7 3
 kind of entertaining. it could have done without the random bits, bloopers if you wanna call them that. and a better place for getting the dialog...too much background noise. I'm pretty sure the point of this vid was to make the guy look like as much of a tool as possible and to make fun of people that act like him but take themselves seriously.
  • 5 2
 xlt your observations are impeccable ...

 just had to help out those who couldn't quite get it Wink

 HAHA. Hardly. Thanks for explaining what the video was about though. I'm sure no one picked that up. Dumbass

 no problem Big Grin

 Loosen up! That was a funny take on the poser culture that has a firm foothold in the industry! Anyone who didn't see the humor probably takes themselves too seriously.

Well done on the video! And for the haters-stop complaining and go ride your bike (in your sisters jeans)!

 I like the part where he, said and we use to all hang out, I feel like that, back in the day, it was more about chillin and havin, fun. not going huge, and killing yourself, all tho, I must say, i really like the huge trick and big double flips, so much, would be cool to keep the chill old style but, have the nar tricks,
  • 15 9
 freestyle ? sloperide ? ha ha totally retarded....just ride your shit !!!!

 I want my 2 min and 58 sec back. u ummmm u is right why would he make a video like that. I can understand if he was ripping it up but he's not. The air a weak he just rides around what a let down. Why would pinkbike but this on their home page?

 Nick F, you just wasted 2:58 of my life! I was just about to click on a link to read about some dumb bullsh*t for 10minutes, but instead I watched this. And I don't know if anyone else noticed, but what's with the audio? I mean, audio, background noise, I couldn't hear you, audio. Noise! I'm so pissed that I just punched my computer screen. You owe me 3 minutes and a computer screen. No wait, you owe me at least 5 more minutes for commenting on wasting 3 minutes. I know where you work.

 I'm pushing a new genre. Slope-street. It involves riding a DH bike off loading docks and down stairs. Get the camera ready.

 wouldn't the correct term be platform-style? we need Ron for this one...

 it would be good if i could hear what he was saying

 I personally love satirical videos like these. Obviously this one has some problems, (Background noise etcetera.) but the point is funny and valid.

If you like this sort of thing, watch these:

 I like the Vid, the Riding and that 80ties Clothing-Style. Crappy Sound, but that Trail is awesome. We all should spend alot more time in Winter to build Trails like that under every Highway-Bridge in the World to have nice Summerjam-Joyrides, regardless where you travel!!!

 Just because some people, like myself, don't find this funny doesn't mean we take "slopestyle" or whatever too seriously. It didn't make me laugh and I couldn't hear half the things he was saying. We have just as much right to say we don't like it as you do to say you thought it was awesome so calm down.
  • 7 2
 wtf did i just watch

 What Slopestyle means is a rider uses the momentum gained from the slpoes(up or down)to create and complete some stylish tricks skillfully and precisely.
  • 6 4
 Its all about lifestyle. The Sounds, MGMT, stupid colors, and your sisters jeans!
  • 2 3

 Hahahaha, mmmmmm purpcush
  • 7 7
 i couldn't listen to the audio since i'm at work and "looking busy" but from what i'm reading, the guy is a tool... and not the good kind (like the band).
  • 6 8
 tools not that good
  • 11 2
 ur not that good.
  • 2 5
 ummm okey
  • 6 3
 tools pretty damn good man.
  • 1 3
 they're touring now! anyone see Blood Into Wine?
  • 3 5
 Tool pretty much sucks, just like all the other new bands that sound the same.

My thoughts: johngushue.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/07/13/god_listens_to_slayer.jpg
