GoPro of the World Best Line Contest, Final Round - Vote Now

 As soon as I saw Steve's video I sent it over to my buddy who broke his neck to give him some sense of riding. It's the most realistic video I've ever seen where you actually feel like you are riding. And he was rippin'!!

 Yea @stevestorey ! Gotta give it up to the guy puttin in the hours/ days/ weeks/ years building the sick trails! Props to the other guys, but Steve let's get you some new rake and bucket money

 on an Endo no less.

 He may not be a "pro" but he's won a masters DH Championship. And yeah, he gets double points for producing that trail. It's pretty much my mountain biking dream sequence.

 and 4, that dude talking is annoying as shit... "yea finneyyyy" stop it

 Sorry for all these "?????", they are supposed to be emoticons Hahahaha!

 @yoannbarelli: Hahaha! Man, we'll go for a shred on it regardless but only if we can GoPro it

And good luck to both of us my friend, it's looking like a tight race! Good times hey?

 DO IT !!! Good luck to both of you!

 Warner along with Barelli! A Brit and a Frenchie, gonna get my popcorn

 *Sigh*

 if the gopro of the world video that wins has blurry moss and trees, it is a bad for you @gopro

 @loam33: you gots to change the quality settings.

 @mike-gamble: there aren't any options higher than 1080p on pinkbike. the moss and the trees are blurry. i say again, just wondering what resolutions the gopros were at while filming. @stevestorey @gopro

 @loam33: I filmed it in 4K superwide not sure why it would look pixelated. Haven't noticed it on the screens I've viewed on.

 @loam33: He shoots at 1080...maybe is cos he's riding at warp speed 11?

 @loam33 I stand corrected! @stevestorey is now available in 4K.

 Yeah no disrespect to these 2 but I can't believe these are the finalists

 Honestly? I relate to the finalists more. I like watching people do huge tricks and hit massive features, but to me, mountain biking is riding nicely varied single track and doing so as smooth and fast as I can. The finalists do that to a degree I can only hope to emulate. I see those trails abs think, "holy crap, I want to ride that!"

 @pcmxa: Well,i think we just have a different way to think. I'm a young guy that want to "special" (at least for me) thing like doing big jumps and drop,while you just want to ride your trailbike down a sweet single track trail.
When i get at the bottom of the slope i prefer to think" Holy shit i did that!" than "Yeah that was a nice run".
Be stoked
Cheers!"

 @pcmxa: but is it a contest about the most average run or about the sickest?! Huge respect for the efforts that he put into building that stuff, but it's not worth to be in the finals. Berrecloth or the loosefest guys or Vinny-t did something that 95% of the riders can't even dream of

 @LeonardoVare: If you can ride either of those trails as fast and clean as those riders, you are special!. Steve's vid is deceiving because it is so smooth, but he is flying down some super narrow track with technical features (that barely register because he is so smooth) faster than many people ride jump lines. Same thing for Yoann's run.

I totally agree with your analysis (except for the word just, there is nothing "just" about those guys riding those trails, they are doing jumps and drops at speeds on narrow trails where being off by inches is going to have some serious consequences). There really should be categories (maybe trials, trails, features and tricks) because so much of this is comparing apple's to oranges.

 @Mirko17: Sickest run is subjective. 95% of riders couldn't do what either of the finalists did either. Have you ever ridden a section of trail and thought "Holy damn! I nailed that SOB, no way I could ride that cleaner or faster!" and then you look at Strava and you are not even top 10%? The other day I rode a mile and a half segment of trail (single track with some small to medium jumps) and I pushed every corner harder than i thought possible hit the jumps bigger and smoother and just flowed that baby as fast as I could. Pr'd it. The guy who has the KOM rode it that same day. he did it in 3:42. I did it in 4:22. I seriously am having a hard time thinking where I could pick up seconds and he put 40 into me. That is the difference in what we are looking at in these vids. Skills are in everything, and best is relative to what we appreciate most. Like I said, I like and admire the big features and astonishing stunts. I voted for a number of those videos. Those rider's are unbelievable. But nowhere in the contest does it say it is about the biggest. It is about the best and that is a wider idea. I relate more to one thing and you to another. Really they should maybe have categories since I don't even know how to compare some of these videos. So I, and many people gravitate to what we enjoy about the sport and that is different for all of us, but many of us relate to and admire top of the line riding on singletrack. Remember here is the contest description:

 @LeonardoVare: agreed bro

 Yea its in Pemberton.

 There were 4 in total that made it. I entered 5 throughout the 5 months of prelims. I did hope to get one in the finals and was quite surprised at the result. I did put a ton of work into building those lines though and I was just excited to share them with everyone. Hard to not share your work in a such a rad forum like this!

 @stevestorey: Oh no don't get me wrong, your videos are sweet. Just not surprised that you made the final. A. Because you had great entries and B. because you had entries (plurality being the optimum point) p.s I voted for you, so there are no hard feelings here at all!

 When in doubt go barelli

 @RedBurn: no way. Steve Story won it for me. Not only is his trail and location amazing, but I actually felt like I was there. That's what the winning POV should be like. I'd also like to see the first non sponsored rider win

 @shredderIII: Yeah the fact that he built his trail sealed it for me

 @bderricks: When Steve Wins, he'll have to have a heck of a kickoff party to show off his trail(s) once all that fluffy white stuff turns into river!

 click the link. lol i don't know why they put the screenshots of the results on here.
