 Another banger, putting the official coverage to shame
  • 15 1
 Another way of looking at it is, hopefully these guys are picked up and paid by the official coverage to produce more content like this? Win win in my eyes.

 @theboypanda: I think there are too many stakeholders in the mix for the official coverage to be this good unfortunately. The UCI isn't going to be happy with chainsaw dildos and stuff like that being in their product.

 It's the edit the fans deserve after the chaos behind the scenes this year.

 @Oolex: but they are in league with a TV production company who makes Naked and afraid...then blur everyone's junk out of the picture! Dildo chainsaw ( great band name, write that down Steve) shouldn't be a problem?

 Hey UCI, you can't manufacture this spirit! I really really hope that once the season's over they'll realise what a unique product they've got and look after it. Get rid of Semis, get privateers on the hill, the rest will sell itself. Coverage is starting to improve.

 These are amazingly well done - not many other, if any, videos capture many great and exciting moments, capture the feel of what its really like to be there, capture the culture and excitement that DH racing has - SO well done

 How much are the shots planned for this style of video? For example, the running with the crowd at the end. Did you guys sit down and say, right, you mix with the crowd for the last man coming down to hopefully catch the invasion? Cos, you would have known that would happen if a French dude won? Ace edit btw.
