It was recently announced that Nick Clarke was joining the iXS team. I couldn't have been more excited for him, although this news wasn't long celebrated as he told me a few weeks later that he would be having major shoulder surgery....again. We decided that the best plan of action was to have him sit out a few months and then come back a few weeks before the surgery to create a quick "welcome to" edit at Joyride150. This was the result.

 The video wasn't in slow motion. That is just how smooth he is.

 @AMPhotography I am pretty sure it is in slow motion but just a bit to create that smoothness effect. It feels like 0.8x normal speed or somethin like that.

 This actually made me a bit crazy, because I was asking myself whether it's slowmo or not the entire time. But I'm amazed by the smooth style of this guy... he's just awesome!

 i've never been too interested in the freestyle side of MTB (tricks, etc.) but this just looks so fun. Surely it's slowed down, it looks like he's floating

 Yeah its subtle and the guys got some serious skill but its definitely not full speed

 He is so smooth...this is scary. The hangtime he gets is INSANE! I didn't get anything like that when I was in my early teens at around 115 pounds. Also the song was a great choice.
