No music, just the sound of bikes and joy, along with straight up sick riding. Perfect.

I definitely can appreciate the raw footage, but personally I have always thought of song choice as a super interesting and important detail that can really improve (or ruin) a video. I’d be sad to see to big a move away from music in edits. (Also I love to steal great songs for my bike/ski playlists from these videos and scraping noises won’t cut it)

@bike-lair: Still Young by Cat Empire (used in unREAL*) gets me excited to go ride my bike every time i hear it.

Similarly, if i'm fortunate to have a snow holiday lined up, i like to listen to a playlist heavily borrowed from The Art Of Flight. Especially if i'm listening to it in the gym trying to up my fitness/leg strength ready for a week of riding.

*The Cat Empire segment is my all-time favourite clip of mountain biking. Really captures the sensation of just hammering a trail for fun (or what i imagine hammering a trail at that speed feels like, since i don't get anywhere close). Something about it grabs me mkre than anything else i've seen.

@bike-lair: music is stoopid, good bike riding doesn't need an accompaniment.

Except for the crashing(which I do very well) my Santa Cruz doesn't do those things. I must have bought the wrong one or mine is defective. I'm gonna call customer service.

You just need to rig it up with a free coaster, clearly! That turns it into a jib machine (just kidding, though what he does with a free coaster is pretty awesome).

Really great! Glad to see Josh and Craig putting out some stuff while I know they're busy with building out 50to01 as a bigger brand/entity.

Seems that Ratboy has just dropped off the face of the earth, though. Not sure the move to Cannondale was really a great one for him. That being said, Max/3dumb has remained active since moving to Cannondale... but not so much Bryceland.

Bryceland is too busy worrying spreading anti vax nonsense. Unfollow that dummy.

Maybe you should subscribe to 50to01 TV?? Josh is in so many of their recent videos. Most recently on Dec. 7th. Definitely not "dropped off the face of the earth."

A ton of skill there but............ We need an unofficial jib championship to crown a real winner. My money will be on a someone from the UK.
