 Maybe a little too much in the way of swoopy cinematography and not enough focus on the rider/bike shredding the terrain? It seems like every time he was about to pop off something sweet, camera angle changed.

The end was much better on the roots and such. Not trying to be ugly, doing my best for constructive consumer feedback!

 Agree.....

 Completely agree it was very hard to watch with all the Steadycam shots and tracking shots. If there were a few more still shots I think the edit would be a lot better. I really liked the music definitely something different and enjoyable.

 It's not a bike video. It's a video about a bike.

 Cool video and some unique filming but if your looking for something a bit more raw and want to see the endorphin really stretch it's legs, I refer you to this video.. www.pinkbike.com/video/385426

 VOD. Most definitely! It looks like you were having a ton of fun filming...the shot at 00:47 was gorgeous...amazing bush too!

 I don't know about VOD. I always love seeing PNW riding, and it was a nice enough vid, but it had too much of a Sunday stroll vibe for me. I wanna see someone getting' loose!

 I agree to all of the above.

 The new 27.5 Warden is selling a shit ton...

 Yes that is the 26" version. The new one has internal routing. Love my endo 26er!

 I believe that was the 26er. I smile every day that I ride mine! Very capable and fun bike. The new 2015 Endorphin is 27.5 - with 10mm less rear travel. I hope that it's as fun as the 2012-2014 Endorphin 26ers. The edit was OK - love the scenery and mood.

 Go Squamish! I recognized a lot of the local trails in that edit. Makes me miss my Endo. Not that I don't love the new steed, but the old boy brought some extra cajones to every situation!

 this had a bit of a "next, have you up and coming action sports photographer friend make an edit. Dont forget to include lots of nature shots and a shot of you putting your goggles on" feel to it

 Motion Sickness should never be experienced while watching a video about a bike.

 I can't film anything close to as good as this... But, that said I think the infamous endo deserves more of an opportunity to showcase its powers of awesomeness. Props for a solid edit nonetheless.

 It seems like people really have fun on their Endorphins.. really makes me want to get one. One of my favorite vids on PB is this one from a few years ago. They seem to work best in muddy, beautiful BC woods haha Razz www.pinkbike.com/video/189516

 Nice riding! (left the sound off after watching Remi's edit with only bike noises)

Can we get PB to elucidate their use of the term PNW? I don't know if the majority of PB users are assumed to be ignorant Americans, incapable of differentiating between the PNW and SW BC, or if they're using a WiKi article to define the region? I've seen the WiKipedia page on the Pacific Northwest, and disagree with its contention that the Pacific Northwest refers to the area from Oregon in the South to BC and Alaska in the North and the Rocky Mountains in the East. First off, the Rockies and Idaho/ and even Western Wyoming are hardly 'Pacific'. If we're talking about the continent, then Alaska and, say the Northern part of BC probably qualify, but Oregon and Washington? Hardly. The definition that seems to make the most sense to me, as it is usually used by those I hear use the term, is to refer to the Northwestern part of the US that abuts the Pacific Ocean. This might include the northern part of Oregon and all of Washington between the ocean and the Cascade Mountains. I've heard of the area of Washington and Oregon East of the Cascades referred to as the 'Inland Northwest'. Canadians I know don't refer to any part of the lower mainland as PNW. Clarification please!

 I live in Western Washington and I've most people I know call the Pacific Northwest the west side of Oregon/Washington/BC. At least that's how I've always heard it. Eastern WA/OR don't count, or I don't know anyone who does.

 Its as though the rider has a tree fetish at the beginning, but i agree, too much cinematography, not enough focus on the rider!

 It sounds like the guardians of the galaxy soundtrack.

On a separate note....isnt the Endorphin a 26 inch?
