Ain’t dead. Drones are for lazy people

@WAKIdesigns: Also trees are pretty tight here for drones.

remrem (Dec 11, 2019 at 17:25)

@WAKIdesigns: cables aren’t for the lazy that is for sure.

wonder why RM are doing so much marketing for the slayer in the lead up to the field test review?

uberstein (Dec 11, 2019 at 11:46)

because why wouldn't you?

kiddlivid (Dec 11, 2019 at 13:22)

I was thinking that... Although it was up against a yeti

Maybe it was a snap decision by the marketing team.

tibetaneskimo (Dec 11, 2019 at 15:53)

Pretty sure it's just marketing. They had a huge marketing campaign planned for the Slayer from the beginning. And I fell for it. Just got my full metal Slayer.

dirtyburger (Dec 11, 2019 at 16:42)

I'd say they are setting their bikes apart... from the rest.

jaydawg69 FL (Dec 11, 2019 at 10:01)

Mt. Prevost.... where you go if you want to learn how to go fast. Bruni was spotted there last weekend.

gnarnaimo FL (Dec 11, 2019 at 19:53)

Or to learn to be humbled..or both.

A few years back in the BC Junior series I was the 4th rider on the list and Remi was 5th, my whole goal that day was not to get passed given the 30 second gap between riders. I had one of my best results of the season that day 5th place overall... and still got past. If I remember correctly he had a nearly 20 second gap on second place. The man is unbelievably fast.

chubby5000 (Dec 11, 2019 at 8:33)

Wow that was not too shabby at all. My mouth literally opened up at the last drop.

dorkbike (Dec 11, 2019 at 10:26)

Add this to the "I wish I could ride like that" list. When does one know when their level of riding permits a full face helmet or not?

islandforlife (Dec 11, 2019 at 10:49)

When they make a tiny mistake and hit a tree with their face at full clip... crazy that he's not wearing a fully for this! Too many close calls and I wear a chin bar for all my descents now. No reason for me not to.

medievalbiking (Dec 11, 2019 at 20:23)

I shudder to think how some of my face to rock crashes would've turned out without a full face... at least the dentists would have more slayer money...

zyoungson (Dec 11, 2019 at 23:02)

@islandforlife: Smoking your face on a tree is not a 'tiny' mistake.

islandforlife (Dec 12, 2019 at 8:27)

@zyoungson: Exactly...

sledMXer FL (Dec 11, 2019 at 10:43)

I want to know when the Rocky Mountain team is going to start riding the Slayer for racing! Seems legit to me! Instinct BC is no slouch either!

dhgirly (Dec 11, 2019 at 8:06)

Watched it 3 times consecutively...it was just that much fun to watch!

jyemen (Dec 11, 2019 at 19:44)

Ooh baby I like it raw, ya baby I like it raw

rjrx (Dec 11, 2019 at 9:43)

Hell yeah...stoked on that.

ukeandbike (Dec 11, 2019 at 9:52)

The audio in that edit is awesome!

Garethccc (Dec 13, 2019 at 4:13)

Couldn't watch it because of the heinously overamplified tire noise. Awesome riding from Remi as usual though.

yzedf (Dec 11, 2019 at 8:24)

Savage hit

IsaacO (Dec 11, 2019 at 9:48)

Some sure Photo of the Year contenders there

nitrousjunky (Dec 11, 2019 at 10:27)

Pinned!!!

MTBCamerongoldy (Dec 11, 2019 at 10:41)

most edits are boring this i could actually watch

genericmk (Dec 11, 2019 at 12:07)

Sweet!

BrutalSyl (Dec 11, 2019 at 12:08)

NIce ! the sound of the tires... mmmmmm

Endurip (Dec 11, 2019 at 12:26)

Wow, great ridden!

stephane98 (Dec 11, 2019 at 21:20)

I thought he grew up in quebec.

remrem (Dec 12, 2019 at 20:34)

Not this Remi. Vancouver Island born and bred

odbrider (Dec 12, 2019 at 6:08)

WOW!!! PURE SOUND OF SPEEEEED.....REMI SHREDS!!!

olddude (Dec 12, 2019 at 19:12)

I didn’t hear slayer. Me so dissapointed.

vesania (Dec 11, 2019 at 23:16)

so freaking fast!

nikifor88 FL (Dec 11, 2019 at 8:22)

nice edit but its not raw

gnarnaimo FL (Dec 11, 2019 at 20:02)

Omg, would just be like, so much better if you could hear the drone propellers and cable equipment operating, right!?

nikifor88 FL (Dec 12, 2019 at 4:29) (Below Threshold)

raw is raw, this isnt that

ConnorP15 (Dec 11, 2019 at 17:02)

the "raw" sounds in these have really not been great. Please don't ruin Vanderham's with the iffy audio.

Not really a fan of this “raw” sound design. It doesn’t sound very realistic. The first half of this video especially has some weird things going on. The second half is better, but it still seems weird to me how the overpowering tire sound is always so loud while the freewheel ticking fades in and out as the rider passes the camera.

islandforlife (Dec 11, 2019 at 10:47)

Sounds like they mixed sound from an on-board or body-mic and a camera positioned mic. Pretty standard... worked well, as usual.

PeterWojnar (Dec 11, 2019 at 10:55)

It's not expressly raw, but it's rooted in recorded audio. You can't get true raw audio while shooting a cable cam or a drone shot—all you'd hear are loud propellors or cable noise. The best you can do is re-build the audio for a shot out of sound recorded during different takes of the same trail section. Keith's sound design is exceptionally well done on this one—enjoy it most with headphones on.

Joegrant (Dec 11, 2019 at 15:27)

@PeterWojnar:, @islandforlife

The sound design is impressive for sure. I find some of the choices that were made quite interesting. For example, fading the freewheel ticking will keeping the tires loud throughout, or lowering the pitch for slow mo, but keeping the speed constant (you can hear this by the freewheel ticks). That’s what I was getting at with “realistic”.

foxwooddigital (Dec 12, 2019 at 8:41)

The sound design was spot on for me and really added to the raw feeling in my opinion, even if it wasn’t “raw raw”. Anything that Liam and Harrison produce is going to be top notch work and this is no exception. Huge fan of both the original cut for the Slayer launch video and this one with Remi. Amazing work all around!
