Luxury of Dirt Featuring Katie Holden - Video

 Katie is one of the most positive people on bikes, she's always stoked! Not sure why the hate on here, Katie is a shredder.. this video totally reminds me of the chill down days at rampage when there's a weather delay!

 needs more killer, less filler

 This almost felt like a tourism commercial. I half expected it to end with "Welcome to Utah"

 Lame. I am sure that chick is super nice and super rad, but the vid was lack lustre.... Put that shit on Pinterest.

 ^ don't hate on the above posts...Ladies, seriously...
If you want to be taken seriously, then ride and film seriously. This was more like a commercial for a Lifetime movie.

 Hippy nonsense. Next time use Slayer for more radness.

 she's Holden out on us...

 Nice little intro. But was pretty keen to see some riding. It's not very often you hear anything from female free riders and then when something does come out there's no actual footage of her riding. Disappointing.

 What the hell is luxury of dirt anyway.....

 For as much über-closeup, super shallow depth of field shots of guys lighting butane stoves, pouring coffee, opening their garages, alarm clocks going off, walking down a hallway, cracking an egg, driving to a trail, putting on a helmet and goggles and then getting to listen to an over compressed mic picking up every pant of air passing by their nose hairs as they climb and all of it washed out with copious amounts of color fade, I don’t think this video was too off the mark. It was an observant take on what a ton of the guys’ edits are becoming - a couple minutes of getting ready for a ride followed by a ride. (This was only a minute!) They’re trying to be poetic too, just in a different way than what’s in this edit.
Must it also be said that the bit of riding she did is probably way beyond what most of the guys watching it would do?
Stay appreciative of the periphery Holden - there are plenty that aren’t.

 So.... when is the full video coming out?

 "you exist for this moment" uhhh.. wtf? Katie's super rad but that video did not showcase her awesome riding, just some poetry and some shots of mountains and guacamole. Also I'm pretty sure we exist just cause we exist.

 I actually thought it was quite a nice little vid. Very true, well put together and she's probably more brave than me!

 Katie is a badass, end of story. If you want to see what she can do, hit the googles and do some research. She's hands down one of the most fearless women on two wheels.

 indifferent. filler

 It was a great promotion of springdale, oscars cafe, and the little coffee shop across the way. Great shots of mt kinesava and the the mrs butterworth tower. Cool enough vid.

 It's apparent this is mostly a prepubescent blockbuster movie type bunch and not the poetic indie film thinker crowd. Sad. Not everything is about big hits and whips. Sometimes even the top riders like to have a real moment and share it in a non-traditional way here on PB.

 I had the privilege of hanging out by the pool at Whistler with Katie and a mutual friend a few years ago. Very chill, positive, etc. The world needs more Katies

 This is your bona fide PB trolling comment by someone who has never made a film (or been in one) and can't ride even a small fraction as well as what the rider in the video can, though still feels compelled to masturbate my unsolicited opinion into the comment thread about how the (circle all that apply):

1. music too chill/music too hard/music not music
2. riding not shredding enough/rider didn't actually risk his or her life/I could do that even though I can't
3. filmmakers artistic vision is stupid/people actually paying for it vision is stupid/can't believe that a bike company would want their brand featured in a video they paid for of a rider they sponsor
4. style of riding is different than mine, so it sucks/style of film is different than I prefer, so it sucks/anything that's different than what I prefer sucks
5. grumble/whine/complaint of choice to generally elevate my experience at the expense of others'

FWIW, I enjoy the range of videos that are on here. I appreciate that people take the time to share whatever part of their biking passion they do, at whatever skill they do. And I like seeing all these different angles into riding. While I certainly enjoy some videos more than others, I'm not sure I understand too deeply the need to shit on other people's work that we're getting for free. OK, not for free, we DO have to look at ads and even a manufacturer's logo, though if you've already wasted a couple minutes of your life watching something you didn't enjoy, why prolong the pain by writing a comment...

 Wow I didn't realize that pink bike was actually a forum for stuffy film critics, the title didn't say "rider does 50 foot drop while on fire and doing a 360". When you hit the road with your buddies there is a bunch of stuff that goes along with the trip. New trails, food, beers, camping, whatever. She's talking about that stuff. I liked it.

 pretty sure no one thinks like that when going out riding it's all about skids and beer

 hi brother .
like your video very much ,good rider you r.
It’s a pleasure to meet you here! My name is Jack and I served as the agent and guide for two great movies; “Where the Trail Ends”, and “MTB Heroes”, both shot at Flaming Mountain(Gobi). Flaming Mountain is an undisputedly ideal territory for mountain biking; the view dazzlingly beautiful. Some say the vistas cause one to conjure up images of Mars. With intense natural slopes of soft sand which can only be experienced when your wheels make contact with the earth. It is these incredible scenes which unfold in the movies.

 Winter sucks!

 Bicycle poetry ?

 Pleaaaasseeee

 That soundtrack, sound like something a hippie wrote back in sixty-something

 This was def a little North of Hell, but hey now people. Hey.

 could have used a little more pizzazz!! but i take it is more about how you feel than the actual riding...

 "Sombrio" Athelete.

 Cool vibe but shouldn't be on the front page.

 Katie was my Race coach before she moved, huge inspiration

 Was that sped up?

 That was very feminine. It was like reading a light hearted, inspirational coffee shop poem about raping and pillaging.

 Katie the cutie!

 Thought it was a good trailer!

 That was awful
