Soundtrack on both videos were horrible. They would have been sick if the music was different and suited the video better.

Or if the footage hadn't been ripped out of ten different movies/edits.

yeah its sad to see awesome footage ruined with a really crappy soundtrack, especially on the first vid as I remember I got super stoked watching some of that footage in the original videos they came from

I was really talking about the first vid - the music just doesn't work with the footage... also, yeah i'm not the biggest fan of Pennywise but that doesn't mean im a kid hating on good music and listening to beiber crap.. i'm just more into Queens of the Stone Age, Audioslave, RATM etc... but then, pinkbike seems to rape anyone with an opinion eh?

I really respect Anthony as a rider, but to me his tricks look like Benny Phillips. He trys them way too hard instead of letting it flow. Just my opinion, but props to Anthony for getting so many sponsers. Best luck to him.

let me preface this by saying i could never dream of doin half of what he does on a bike, but personally i couldnt agree more with you. messere just looks stiff to me if that makes sense. especially on his tuck no handers. he always lands smooth and pulls everything. but i would rather watch semenuk ride anyday cuz literally everything he pulls just looks alot smoother therfore sicker. perfect example i think its in follow me or whatever movie where him n steve smith shred, personnal prefence i guess

@nickhanson i can see what your saying but comparing him to benny philips is a little bit much, Anthony does have pretty good style and flow. Plus he is still young and has lots of time to build on his skills, flow, style ect.

That "team" is stacked, Semenuk, Gwin, and Cam McCaul, both McCauls, Agassiz, the Coastal Crew, and Peat. Looks like Smith is going after the mountain bike market.

Anyone ever seen Mike Hopkins in anything other than a green tee? Unreal team tho.

I think he wore an orange tee in a small part of his segment on from the inside out

spyk27 u would prob have that shitty dubstep music....to bad pennywise is one of the sickest punk bands around and with that riding style hard and fast how can u not pick a sweet punk rock song like that, people need to get out of the dub step world and listen to music that has real instruments, sick videos
