Back and forth, forward and back. Mastery on the bike comes from constant repetition. Whether it’s your hundredth time down a trail or you’re about to drop into a new one for the first time, steady, well-rehearsed motions are what will get you through. So ride fast and send it deep, because the Slayer is built for those who charge.
Almost every element of this video is near perfection: filming, drone operating, editing, color grading, shot compostition, the music choice... Rocky Mountain, the riders, and the film crew, you guys elevated the bars so so much!
Me Too!!!! I wish I could have the talent of your in your pinky, and the talent from Thomas's middle finger, and I would be an unstoppable beast!!! LOL
@Germanmike: Agree, probably a shit film, just watch Repo Man instead! It's is still the best ever. "I know a life of crime has led me to this sorry fate, and yet, I blame society. Society made me what I am."
I work as a cam assistant on commercials and I am WETTING MYSELF at the progression of film making in our sport. The amount of time/planning/effort this must have taken is mighty impressive. big props Harrison and Liam!
@RockyMountainBicycles: It's a sad day when Rocky doesn't produce a DH bike! What has this world come to? Hell, you don't need to change it, it works great as it is, just make an all black frame (circa my '16 Unltd) and keep it available. You don't even have to make that many. And bring back the damn Flow DJ! Just a few simple steel tubes torched together, you already have the geometry, just make a few frames available to keep us loyalists happy! I promise they'll sell. You can even carry them over year to year if they don't.
Watch first time and get blown away. Then, second time mute soundtrack and listen with "Holy Diver" - Dio and really really get blown away!!! Props Rocky, major props.
"Designed for: All Mountain" - I'm confused. Didn't that use to mean meaty trail bike circa 140-150mm? This looks like freeride to me. Or what would the new freeride be??
Forgot best promo I ever seen, best bike video sequence period - lacking nothing (added bonus just like 'Follow Me' Vanderham riding trails not sending jumps)
this teaser vid gave me the best bike boner i have ever had. all 4 inches. ugh. everything was PERFECT. killer editing, video work, music, riding...everything.....................................................(_(_====D
Cool vid. Seems a lot like the GT Traitors video though where it appeared that the marketing team thought of a "cool" name for the video and then had to come up with goofy description to try and make it seem relevant.
Pretty lame that their no option for air shock but two of them ride one ...i can say that I much prefer air over a coil and wish it would of been at least one option
well that's where I've been going wrong then. i thought it was a few hours every Saturday or Sunday in between life duties.

Absolutely crap length, needed to be at least 40 minutes long, scaling factor 10% of overall score
So sick, reminded me of Follow me and old Silvia editing.
Awesome.
Awesome vid and bike though
Just think at least one model should of cane with a x2 since anyone on your team is gonna ride one anyway
Old one looks faster
