Into Thin Air is an amazing video. The amount of control that those two have over their bikes is phenomenal. But it just lacked the buzz that that Ty's David McMillan Bio produced. The way David gets around on that bike is just amazing to watch.
I actually had a tough time deciding between harrison mendels and the matt beer video. I dont ride slope or dirt jump, but I find them just as interesting. In the end I did vote for harrison mendels, but I just don't understand how someone can find a downhill video boring... unless maybe the riding is crappy and so is the trail and the editing. It all really just comes down to personal opinion.
Akrigg is out because people are trying to win prizes, just clicking on one and haven't see the Vid.... should be #1 or close .. if u know mad skills. Too bad
indeed, your sarcasm isnt lost on me, but my seems like it was lost on you. loggers was shit and akriggs was unreal. different leagues, yet some retards voted for it, strange really....
it seriously is a shame Akrigg is out, deserves to make it into the finals at least. Most of the other vids don't even compare. lol...I'm PO'd right now!
Yeah, every video he makes is amazing but that one was my favorite one... meh.
We're back also didn't make it and I thought the riding was crazy. Double meh....
Who votes for this!? I thought it was obvious for everyone that Akrigg is one of the most inspiring, talentet and entertaining mountainbike riders ever. And A Hill in Spain is probably the best video from him! I'm in shock!!! Maybe someone saw a flag they knew and voted for that :o)
I love some downhill video just as much as the next guy, and I even leaned toward certain videos that exhibited the most difficult tricks, but it seems to me that some ordinary DH edits- although well shot- beat out some truly inspired videos. I'm shocked that Into Thin Air didn't advance. It had me spellbound.
thanks but it wasn't my video who got kicked out - I had no videos in the final. There were only 2 no-dh and no-dirt videos and they are gone, unfortunately. Still, there is some sick stuff in the 16 remaining vids.
I think the video of Scott Allen in Kimberley deserves to win. I know the kid who made it, and he's only 15. A 15 year old against a company like red bull isn't exactly a fair fight.
I did like the Winter Rehabilitaion Video shreddin on his transition. IMO, I liked it better than some of these "normal" Dh vids. Suprised that it didn't make it and that tere were sooooo many upsets
The story is good but where's the riding? About 45 seconds of slow-mo downhill and whips. Compared to a 5minutes edit of pure action, inimitable riding, fantastic images with no slow-mo. Don't get me wrong, i liked builders vs loggers... Akrigg was just uncomparable and so different...
its not about the riding per-say, its about the video. Yeah his video was good, but it was purely riding, Builders vs. Loggers had riding, and a story line ... i think its a little harsh to say it was "incomparable"
totally a disappointment that Akrigg didnt make it.. and its funny how everyone basically complains about it..
it was a bad match up for him, almost seems unreal...
Nah, for real man. Downhill videos are soooo boring! Cant belive its almost only downhill vids that gets VOD.. damn.
Maybe someone saw a flag they knew and voted for that :o)
And silvia taking that win by almost 50%
I think silvias gonna win
Akrigg
