STUND Episode 5 - Watch Now!

Dec 7, 2009
by Tyler Maine  
The final installment of STUND Season 2. It's been a great ride and I hope you all enjoyed watching the show. I know us boys had a blast making it. Getting out there, funding our own project, picking our favorite spots and having a rider owned production is what it's all about. It is allot to take on for Mike and myself in a summer as we still film with the biggest movies, compete in the big mountain comps and run a full time Pro rider contract. STUND comes from our own hard work and sweat with a target to hit as many viewers as we can from all over the world.

We do this by offering it for free! From the riders for the riders.

Episode 5 is what it's all about and the reward from the project. The other 4 episodes are the buildup and following to the making of this episode. "Best of the Summer" The format changes from a day to day following of the tour and riders to the classic mountain bike sections you are used to when buying a DVD.

Sit back, relax, turn up the volume and enjoy this 25 Minute episode of STUND.

Thanks to Garret and James for representing B.C. in a big way on the tour, as the new young stars of big mountain riding. Way to kill it! Better than high school hey Garret?

Lastly. Thanks to Tam and Mike, my partners in crime for free content.

Help bring back another season of STUND, speak up and post. Was it everything you expected coming back with Season 2? Would you all watch a season 3? This is your chance to give us feedback and new ideas for next year. But take it easy on us, remember we just ride!

-Steve Romaniuk.

 Guys nice work you've done! Personally, from Dropin series to Stund, haven't seen any better bike material on screen. Thank you for that. Lookin' forward to see S03 next year!

 unless you illegally watch roam or watched the nwd vids 1-9 on pinkbike earlier this year. not to mention the whats next movie. these are at least equally as good though

 Top notch, again. Love these. By the way, if your looking for an almost 40, fat, arthritic and only semi capable rider for season 3 LET ME KNOW! I am so ready to live my dream! (As long as I don't have to work too hard, try anything "Dangerous" and I get to attend the partys where the HOT girls are, thats it.) Good Job Boys, makin us Canuckleheads Proud.

 Great stuff!!!! I watched all 5 episodes and cant wait for another season. One thing that I would quite like to see more of would be helmet cam footage. A euro trip would be awesome as well but we understand that this is free and travelling is a large part of your budget I guess.

 Way to wrap it up guys!
Loved it!

Thank you for making Sundays the most awesome day of the week!

 Stund 2 are the best freeride videos I have ever seen! Music and video editing is awesome. Please go for another season dudes!! The best thing is, that Stund is for free. The Collective and Freeride Entertainment should watch your stuff and learn how to do it. ride on

 Hey guys. Speak up! STUND is Steve Romaniuk and Mike Kinrade, and we do read every post on our releases. Let us know what you think of season 2 and give us ideas, concepts or locations for season 3. Show us what you got and STUND could be rolling into your town!

 to all the guys at stund just like to say a huge thanks for the last five weeks, watching the programme made me want to go ride, i live in england but maybe for your next season you could head out over here or to some part of europe, thanks again man

 Stund 3 - Eurotrip!

 Stund is over Cry I second the Euro idea, howabout some stuff in Brittain, Cant wait for the next season, Godd job with this one, one of the most "watchable" series ever I think.

 If you go back to washington, hit up duthie hill in issaquah as it is opening april '10. Legit sanctioned freeride spot.
  • 1 0
 yeah the euro trip is a great idea, go to like winterberg and les gets and some places in britian too

 Steve hit up the ski jump in Wisconsin again...OK maybe not...where did those pictures ever go?

On a serious note, I would vote for New Zealand if funds permit.

 euurrooo!!! this season was not quite as good as the first thou! bring back super T!

 I think a stop at Northstar at Tahoe might be worth doing! 11 million bucks in bike park upgrades a few back. Definitely the mainstream hotspot in Nor Cal though. Only thing we do ask is let us nor callers know if and when you will. We will be sure to get a good showing in support of you guys! Might even have to drive up there with a brewery fresh keg of Sierra or Bud for ya guys Big Grin

 Come over to Orcas Island in Washington and ride on Mt. Constitution. Great trails, fun DH. It's a blast!

 First of all thank you guys for such a good show. It made me want to go ride my bike so much. You guys should definitely come to Quebec city to shoot for S03!

 I think you guys should come to Australia. Big Grin
  • 1 0
 you guys are forgetting this is low budget so I doubt Europe or Australia will be a go unless they start charging for the vids. Think about how much it would cost to fly multiple people, bikes, eating, lodging, vehicles, etc. Your looking at mega bucks.
  • 2 0
 Well done Romo and Kinrade.... You guys makes me wanna ride my bike everytime the new episode comes out.... Come to Indonesia and Shred with us.... please consider it, even Strait and Claw had a good time.... lol that would gives Stund a fresh place to ride ? can't wait for season 3. Will you be making a compilation DVD ? another way to raise funding.... just a thought. Stund represents good times, good friends and the fun world of mountain biking.... Thanks boys
  • 2 0
 much respect to the stund crew. definately make another season happen!!! these videos have helped me keep my sanity (laid out with a broken collar bone, 1 plate, 8 screws), reminded me how much fun BC was, and at the same time got me super pumped to get back out and ride.
  • 2 0
 Kinrade, I'm surprised that you didn't throw in some of the stunts you built in Nelson!!
I would personally like to see some NEW spots that get the mouth watering (random town, BC, France, Switzerland, Alaska, etc). Great series, really stoked my GF and I out every weekend!!

 Great feedback... We already had europe tour in the back of our head. Probably involving Chatel and France... Just need to drum up the funding from our sponsors. Costs will obviously go up! East coast and diablo or highland is some great ideas to... Keep it up.

 stund is a awesome series that shows off my favourite kind of riding! i really appreciate you putting this together and streaming it for free. i look forward to another season of the same. season 2 was a little better edited than 1, can't wait to see what season 3 looks like, if you are able to pull it together.
  • 2 0
 I think the advestising that your sponsers are getting from this show is priceless, I really hope that thay can back you guys up with a solid season 3. Awesome to see BIG MOUNTAIN riding again.
I was thinking for Season 3, perhaps you could partner up with Pinkbike and have a something similar to the old Race Face ( Ultimate Freeride Challenge contest ) where riders submit a 60 second video clip to you guys for judging and then the winners clip gets played during one of your episodes, or perhaps that person gets to come ride with you guys ( funding permitted ). This would also allow your sponsers to get thier names out there and perhaps allow prizes for some of the clips or even have categories like Best Line, Best Air, Most Creative Stunt, Breakout Performance by a Grom (13 and under),Worst Crash...etc. Plus this gets the pinkbike users involved and talking about the show.

 Vics 26... Nice feedback... Love it. We actually had this idea for season 2... But the free Mopngoose dh bike we had lined up for the winner to come ride on the show for one episode ended up getting sold for extra music licensing cash...The rider would get to keep the bike in the end as well... We would have some build up before stund ever releases holding this online pinkbike.com video submission comp. Great idea for next year to give another rider a chance in the limelight to see what they can do!

 Well done again guys! How about a trip to the east coast next season? Diablo, Highland, Seven Springs, Snowshoe... There's some great stuff on this side along with all the secret spots if you hook up with the locals. Come rip some east coast gnar!
  • 1 0
 Hey Romo/Kinrade, if you guys plan on hitting the east coast possibly head into Canada there is a pretty dope new bike park called Sugarloaf in New Brunswick, it was featured in the January 2010 issue of decline, anyways just thought id throw it out there, thanks for awicked season and hope you guys are back with another.
  • 3 0
 I saw that. Would be cool to hit that up.
  • 1 0
 Just a question:
From what I rode you guys were planning to get a download link for the season.
Is that still on the TO-DO list?
Because I have problems with buffering Pinkbike video's
And I really like to watch the season on my iPod
  • 1 0
 We will release the download links soon after this has all played out, and there may be an option for you guys to download the episodes in HD or possibly BlueRay Quality. stay tuned.

 free downloads of course?

 I love STUND! its getting me through the winter with out going stir crazy with this terribad weather i've been having. keep up the great work, and do a few flatties for me... please?
  • 1 0
 ideas eh? well, heres my two cents worth: spend the winter filming useless information (romo bike build, imba connections,bike factory tour-- [i guess you kind of did that already at transition],seeing a nice line and building it up step by step with commentary,etc...) and throw it on the bonus material for your dvd. people (and sponsors) love that shit.
nice work overall---grassroots radness!

 Amazing series!
For Season 3 it would be a great idea for you guys to come to Europe. We have lot´s of great spots here.
Keep that in mind.

Steve, your style rocks!

 Thanks for the stellar and nearly free entertainment! I like the angles in more ways than one! Ride free!

Have you herd of Les Carroz? If not check it out if you like. It is green, steep, tight and gnarly downhill single track. They are in their Third year of shredding and building. Find it here www. lescarroz.com.

 STUND is the best mountain bike web series around in my opinion , maybe even better then drop-in TV . PLEASE make another series I can't get enough of this what I call 'proper' big mountain biking

 Thanks soo much for making these stunning episodes of Stund. These are some of the best videos out their right now and better yet their free. I especially like that their isn't much dirt jumping. I am so tired of dj vids.

 Make it last twice as long because this season was what? 1h40m? Ride more, film more, go more places. We'll all enjoy that. You and us.
  • 2 0
 FROM STUND: Well you all know that cash rules, or in our case dictates how long we can make this. But the more you guys FAVE, View and comment, the better the chances are of it all happening for next year. Thanks for the support!

 I'll go do some favouriting (new word) then, I'd love to see you guys in Europe
  • 1 0
 first, best web show ive ever seen!! loved season 2, and stoked for season 3. You guys should come to the Comox Valley. Theres Mt washington bike park(where they filmed for whats next), and also forbidden Plateau and Cumberland. Cumberlands got a sick downhill trail and forbidden has lots of opportunities for building and riding.
Keep up the amazing work!

 stund 2 was great. the only HD video I can actually watch w/out my computer stuttering. Some friends of mine purchased a mongoose pinn'r and transition bottle rocket because the stund videos showed the bikes in action. I'm thinking of the scott voltage as a personal christmas gift. Hope you can bring back another season. Here's to no injuries.
  • 1 0
 Thanks for season 2, its awesome to see fresh ridin every week. I dont have to wear out my NWD or Kranked DvD's. You guys should do a cross Canada tour, poll the ins and outs of every province on PB, and do a feature with those riders. Bring some fame to game sort of speak.
  • 1 0
 Wow you guys are pumping out AWSOME videos! I see allot of hard work behind them. Props for the dedication!

For season 3: You guys should really ride the east coast (highland, diablo, and Bromont, Mont Saint-Anne) Especially Bromont they have sick trails and i'd imagine it would be allot cheaper then going to Europe. Then you could focus on the quality of the video since you have more money! And the video contest idea sounds like a great idea! I think east coast would be something to look at.

Anyway cant wait for season 3 and KEEP UP the good work!

 STUND owns. i think you guys should hit up syncline in washington and blackrock oregon next year. Ashland would be pretty sweet to.
