 Really like this footage. No music, no slo-mo roost, no jacked-up announcers, just raw rock smashing with the occasional fail.

 No music, no slo-mo roost, no jacked-up announcers, just raw rock smashing was great, but the camera swinging for every rider is amateur and makes for poor viewing

 @KidShaleen: Other RAW vids follow the rider and then cut to capture the next rider, but this vid swings the camera back to the top, creating an effect like being on a boat on a choppy sea. I assume it was just laziness not to edit the recording. I want RAW riding, not raw production.

 I keep seeing the term "awkward" used to describe these trails which is really strange to me, but I guess there are mountain bikers who haven't ever intentionally sought out hundred year old trails that were built with no intention of being ridden by bicycles. This looks normal and fun to me, similar to trails on Tam like Temelpa, Upper Miller, Wheeler, Zig Zag, etc. that I started riding on.

 I feel like awkward is just a synonym for difficult when people don't want to just admit it is difficult, myself included Wink

 No one rides empress, everyone rides the bypass. Who's laughing now? Saw ALN and RM team on Seymour this summer, they must have been sessioning the old school techy tech. Seriously though if you tried to run an enduro down empress or lower ladies I would say your crazy.

 I really like how the pros look like they're riding the way most of us mortals feel like we're riding on tech - slowly and without flow.

 Anybody else think the Canyon team look uncomfortable on the tech on the first part of the video? Everybody else seems to have looked a lot more comfortable on that section.
