Video: Tom Herriott Rallies the Ridge

 2nded.

 I know he's not a world cup rider on a world cup track, and we didn't film it with £30k worth of RED cinema cameras and have a massive production team behind us like it seems to be the norm these days...but I don't think we did too badly!

 jam 7 is the same person who said this -"Tippie is a dick.. People think he's funny but he's NOT.."

If you're only 15 you are only going to get better, it wasn't a bad video, we just get spoiled on here

 Don't forget this is the internet, we're all expert riders & videographers... let's be constructive then, starting with the negatives.

- You put shredding in the title & raised expectations. Watch 'Queenstown Shredit' from George Brannigan here www.pinkbike.com/news/must-watch-george-brannigan-loose-laps-2015.html for appropriate shred usage.

- We wanna see roost not skids.

- A 3.5 minute video doesn't need a 30 second intro.

- The ridge line, which is a tame 30 second track with very few features, doesn't warrant a 3.5 minute video of it.

On the plus side I thought the filming & editing was really good, given you setup a cable cam & had a head stick spinny thing. More cuts between them & a shorter edit = good stuff.

 i liked the intro but couldn't agree more with the rest.

 @jam7 but you did say something...

 Nothing to think about though is there, because you insinuated as much in you generic statement that is only ever used when by people who want to say something, but can't think of anything clever.... I would say think about it, but that would probably make you fart.

 nice one @T1mb0 that got a proper good cackle/laugh from me. Like people that explain things "basically" &/or "at the end of the day" **Just fart and release your qualms**

 Ok lol thanks

 Would have loved to do it on Balboa, but it's closed at the moment for a major rebuild. The end section, after what was the last ladder drop, has been rerouted and completely rebuilt. Due to be finished hopefully by next month.

 Looking forward to that,need to hit that one with some serious pace!!!

 Not the only one...Tom had three during the day! We filmed the intro at the end of the day, and couldn't be bothered to fix it yet again (plus he ripped the tyre)...needless to say he's gone tubeless now.

 oh that would explane it then, good vid btw

 Cheers dude!

 ur welcome bud

 I think it's a cool video but just saying, it doesn't take 'balls to make a video'... just a camera and some editing software...

 That's true and I am sticking up for the kid. But you never know he may become a top racer in years to come. I just thought it was a crude statement to make about a young guy that's giving it a go

 Put "Stile Cop Bike Park" into Google Maps and you'll find it.

 Here is the title for the video, there may be a clue or two in there -
"15 Year old rider Tom Herriott rides the Ridge Run at the Stile Cop Bike Park on Cannock Chase, in Staffordshire, England".

 Cheers both
