Reassuring to see that even the best sometimes dead-sailor

@Mondbiker: technically, I believe that was a cow dive.

I guess the "sound of speed" doesn't include any braking sounds, which kind of bugs me. I'd prefer real sounds and do away with the foley artist stuff.

Nevertheless, this is such an awesome vid! Reece is an animal with finding the craziest gaps

Yeah, video was awesome, but you could definitely tell where sound was added. Distracting just a hair.

would you like to hear the sound of wet metallic pads?

@vtracer: No, but when the rider is a a couple hundred feet away it shouldn't sound like he's right next to the camera...

Anyway, Reece Potter throws down and is quite the legend, regardless of sound.

@mtbmaniatv: Totally agree; I have to watch any video with him and this one is no exception.

Just don't know why they bother with spending money on fake sounds when raw raw videos like vital mtb's sound great (better). But it is no big deal; i'll happily continue to watch these, even with fake sounds.

@vesania: maybe there were helicopters or lift noises that were too loud in the background? I get it, just sounds like it's trying too hard like, "here's our hub noise for marketing purposes lol"

@mtbmaniatv: That would make sense. Or really bad wind. Many of the other sound of speed vids seem more real. Maybe those shoots were easier to get good audio. I know they use very high end microphones. This one just seems different. But what do I know.

I have a gift for spotting gaps too. Not doing them, just spotting them. Is that also cool?

When I see the pros riding stuff I might ride (though the only time I’d leave the track is either to crash or cos I’m so knackered I have to stop) it really shows how good they are. Nice touch leaving the mid air endo in.

he was getting close to going over the bars in one of those jumps. looks like a fun track. Good riding.

I think he did. The video cut out right before he landed. That was cool that they left it in though.

@mexicant: he clearly lands the back wheel though?
