fade to black muthaf*cka!!! it fit the video perfectly, well done PB filmers!! (of course it's semenuk and soderstrom when kirk hammet starts shredding) so many whips...
^plus teeth that hold the chain on*. So bummed watching martin crash after such an amazing run, i hear he broke his leg, you could tell it was serious watching it. Hope he heals up soon and comes back strong, he was really the only guy who could have beaten semenuk.
Who knew it would only one of the biggest MTB events of the year to make Metallica entertaining.
I think the video summed up the feelings of watching it perfectly.
I'm a massive Semenuk fan and I'm still freaking out about his run (guilty), but Soderstrom was on his way to excellence there! Flip whip out of him, triple whip and opposite 360, I would have loved to see the score! This video made you feel for him, heal up buddy! You deserve another win soon!
Watching it live, you could definitely see the that Semenuk was getting concerned specially after that triple whip. i was so stoked when Soderstrom came into the last hit, and when he went down i basically felt like crying. haha he had it in the bag no questions asked. im truly glad that Semenuk set the bar so high though, cause Martin shredded that last run. he was robbed again.
Both runs were awesome. I think Soderstrom should have taken it if he didn't crash cause he really went all out on that run.
What I don't understand is Semenuk crashed on his first run pretty much in the same spot and he got a score... why didn't they give a score for Soderstrom?
Martin could have had it and you could tell by the look on Brandon's face he knew it and didn't want to win that way. Props to all the guys, great show! Heal up fast Martin!
Just pause at 6:39-6:41 if you want to see his broken leg, it looks pretty tweaked, his foot is touching his other leg and you can see the bend...hope he gets well soon
not only does it capture the difficulty of the runs and the essence of the event but also the fine line between standing on the podium or haaving people standing over you on the ground. stoked to see brandon win but martin has gained so much respect from me
Great job trail designers and builders, great job riders, great job fans (didn't really come across in the broadcast, but this was probably the most excited crowd I have seen at crankworx). So good to see Semenuk, Soderstrum, Pilgrim 1,2,3 - those 3 guys have been the top 3 riders for the past few years in my mind, and I love seeing the best fighting it out for the top spot. Excellent job all round, I really enjoyed it (except for the stupid commercials, hearing "we'll be right back" when you're at the event is so freakin annoying")
Awesome video PB!
Watched it a couple of times and all I can say is, Brandon Semenuk is clearly the winner here. It was a clean run, but the 96 score is too high. Maybe a 94 would be realistic. Too bad for Soderstrom, he tried his best -- pushed his way over the limit and now he broke his leg. That triple whip was insane though. I hope he heals up fast. Redbull Joyride 2013 was epic!
Deja vü for soderstrom, that last feature must be cursed for him, didn't he crash on a 360 double whip attempt last year as well? Damn I wish he landed it, but you could tell semenuk was on his way to the winning run after seeing him after his first run crash. Massive props to all the riders this year!
Was the course a little toned down this year compared to the last few years? It seemed a little less gnarly this year watching it on video. Seemed like the biggest features weren't quite as big as years passed. Was this actually the case? And if so was it done on purpose so the riders could focus more on throwing their best tricks?
This is such a wicked edit. From the porn star dirty sounding, 'AwwwwYeahhhh' at the beginning, to the Metallica starting up. Then non-stop crashes for the first bit, and then the crazy runs of Semenuk, Martin, and the others. Had to put it back to the start before seeing Martin's run, light a J, and watch that crazy shite again. Awesome to see Semenuk finally put a complete run together. But.... Soderstrom's run would have been the most amazing run ever put together in Whistler. Ever. So rough to watch him crash that hard after such an amazing run. Triple-whips FTW!!!
Semenuk asked and Martin answered man! its to bad he went down though, that was a winning run he had going!
Best wished to Martins recovery...
Props to Messere. One day that kid is going to be the best.
Super RAd Edit, Fade To Black was and amazing choice for a song!!!!!! Healing Vibes To Martin way to go for it Dude, you guys are are freaking warriors!!!!! Congrats to Semenuk well deserve Win!!!!!
GOODNESS! pause at 6:39 if you want to see Martin's broken leg, he is bent over and something just doesnt line up...wait till you see it!..Hope he heals up quick he is one of my favorites.
it also says he went down on a superman whip and hit his chest on the bars. we know thats wrong as it was a 360 doble for a start. think this report is from a rubbish source
super sick runs from semenuk and söderström, hopefully martin will be back for claws. but that corkflip barspin from thelander was my favorite trick of the day

poor edit once again proof PB really cares about the local boy when it comes to Joyride. Bummed for Martin no coverage of his second place run but tons of his final run that ends his season. was a well put together edit, just would like to see a bit more coverage for all the riders not just 1. Metallica shreds no more dub step! keep it rock and roll!
so many whips...
What I don't understand is Semenuk crashed on his first run pretty much in the same spot and he got a score... why didn't they give a score for Soderstrom?
Taking nothing away from Semenuk's run, Soderstrom's run was.....bananas
Is his legg really broken ?
P.S. Can anyone tell what's the name of the 2nd song?
