a picture says 1000 words.. so this video is 7 min 30 sec, which is 450 seconds, and the video is probably shot in 60 frames per second. which works out too 27000 individual frames of video or a "picture", so if we multiply 27000 x 1000 = 27,000,000
@t3hrealmccoy It might of been shot at 60fps, but the final video i watched was uploaded in 24fps. (450 x 24) x 1000 = 10,800,000. You clearly over estimate my rheeding abilities :p
I disagree. Dropping the f bomb like that in front on millions of kids seems pretty unprofessional and immature to me. He is supposed to be a role model. Nice riding though.
Revelant username, MassiveH8er. I like the mix of personalities that both slopestyle and WC has right now– having people like Ratboy/Andreu/etc who are complete animals AND Semenuk/Sam Hill/etc who are soft-spoken means there's someone for everyone to cheer for. Love the sport, love the athletes, and to each their own! Congrats, Brandon!
I think he let the F bomb fly just out of pure relief of not falling on the last jump. which is what he was talking about when he swore. Over the past couple years on either his first or second run he has fallen. As an example: last year he fell on the last jump on his first run, then he landed it on his second run but still wasn't a clean landing. Then right after that Martin Soderstrom was chasing his score, with an insane run I might add, and then fell on the last jump and broke his leg. To make it down the hill with a perfect run and then not fall at all on the last jump has to have been such a relief for him after all of the trouble he has had and seen on the last jump. I totally understand him swearing. Its one swear word. honestly, who gives a shit?
Watched reeders run and thought, there is no way brandons run was better than that, typical shitty biased judging. Then I watched Semenuks run and, HOLY SHIT
I'm sick of all this comments, like: "Is that Brandon Semenuk's happiest face?"... That's Brandon, accept it or not, but leave your comments in your brain!
Andreu is one of my favorite riders and I love the fest series, but how is he going to hate on fmb slopestyle like this? This isn't just another dirt jump comp, this is SLOPESTYLE, huge jumps and a variety of features which are being tricked to an insane level. Mad respect for these guys, +when Zink says he's nervous, you know shit is scary as hell.
Andreu's interview in Dirt recently did kind of read like sour grapes. I mean if it's not your thing that's entirely OK, but the last thing the sport needs to get into is more of this 'That's not real mountain biking' bullshit. The whole FEST thing for example is producing some quality riding and awesome vision but I kind of cringe when they rattle on with that 'Just a bunch of friends riding like it's supposed to be...' Bro crap. Particularly when all of those events are sponsored up the wazoo. Which is NOT a comment on sponsorship (which makes a lot of this stuff possible) just spare me the elitist 'everyman keeping it real' speech.
I've had a mountain bike crush on Logan Peat ever since watching him get sick all the time on Life Behind Bars. It's great seeing him rise up in the contests this year. It's also rad how the Crankworx announcers always refer to his screen time with Semenuk on "Barred For Life" ...wrong show a*sholes.
For christ sake why does everyone keep thinking that Semenuk's last trick off the whale tale is a cork 720 just because the announcer incorrectly stated it to be. It's clearly a 360 backflip. I know they can sometimes be easy to distinguish due to the nature of the rotation, but in this case he is completely inverted completing a 360 degree rotation on two axis' at the same time.
I just can't make sense of this. It's absolute nonsense what these guys can do. I need to go get my physics textbook. So impossible! 1 foot can off a flat drop?! corked 720s mid-run?! Both Rheeder's and Semenuk's runs made my heart stop. Messere and Peat's runs were solid but the Rheeder and Semenuk are just on another level. I need to turn my computer off and go ride a bike.
Does anyone have a link to Semeunk's and Rheeder's last runs? These were the runs I fell asleep... :/ Did Semenuk do smething special or funny except of shking his bike around in the air as in this vid?
you're deffently a reheeder!
That's Brandon, accept it or not, but leave your comments in your brain!

That's the full replay.
So sad I missed this it look crazy! So stoked for Brandon!
