Every time they post a Red Bull video here, I see comments like these, but I truly do not understand. What's so bad about the Red Bull player? It seems to work just like youtube and just about every other video player I've ever seen. I'm not asking to call anyone out. I truly do not understand. I've had no problems with this player at all, and want to know what I'm missing out on.
This has actually been irrefutably proven along with one other fact. Yoga Pants: Best thing that's happened to this generation, Red Bull MP: Worst thing.
I guess if you have a fast Internet connection, the Red Bull player will be fine and you won't notice the difference between it and (for example) Youtube. However, if you have a slow or medium connection, and you want to see a good quality video on Youtube, you only have to give it some time to load, and then you can watch it. However, the Red Bull player doesn't load the video while you're waiting, it only loads while it is playing. As a result, you can either try and watch the video while it pauses every 5 seconds to load, or you can watch it in 240p quality.
no problems with the player EVER. I think it's just the fact that everyone is used to the YouTube player and any other player seems to be "bad" per default, just as you are not used to it. The same happens with Google Maps vs. any other maps (even HERE which has better quality maps and more features). Stop ranting, enjoy this awesome video.
Never works properly on mobile devices, well not mine anyway. Works fine on PC, so maybe people with no problems are watching on a computer rather than a phone or tablet?
The fact is i can easily watch HD video on youtube on both of my computer(laptop + desktop) but on the redbull player... i just can't, video just keep freezing and lagging.. can't believe a compagny like redbull can't make the player any better.
The RB player works fine if you have super fast internet. And most comments stating that "it works fine" are from users in the US or Canada... In South Africa we have useless internet so we have to let video buffer... not an option with the RB player...
I think your missed the point of this discussion @Korea848 , its because they cant watch this sweet ass video that they are talking about the video player!
Well this is the best edit I've seen for a long time and that's saying something with current state of Bmx right now. There's so much quality today and to stand out like this really is some achievement.
are you insinuating that the BMX scene is making cool videos, if so feel free to post some links, that was sick and i dont follow bmx in the slightest, besides some olympic racers on instagram (their control and power is insane, dudes will outsprint almost everyone)
Videos like this keep me riding and give me faith that cycling is something the world still sees as a serious sport. When you take an incredible rider and put a bunch of resources into seeing what he/she can do you end up with a piece that anyone can appreciate, regardless of interest, and thats just amazing.
I'not a bmx fan...but this video is incredible!!would like to prop it a hundred times and put it on my favorite playlist.
one of the best vids this year!
gotta say, wasn't expecting much...and then i was blown away. super talented group of people, and i kinda know something about talent, having spent the last 20+ years building sets and scenery and rigging SFX for the movie bizz. really nice build-out, solid camera work, editing etc. and the riding was bad-ass too.
Why that most people comments are about how bad red bull media player is. Man! This video is so awesome, so must effort have been put in to make this video and people don't see that. That dude rides is bmx so well . Impressive Big respect to him and all the crew for making such a good video for us fans .
local lad from my hometown of Stranraer...... great to see him getting the exposure he deserves......hours upon hours of time spent at the local ramps in his younger days.... good on ya Kriss... :-)
Well that was god damn amazing. Love Kriss Kyle and love RedBull Media House. I admire the way that one company manages to root out the finest talents in all fields and brings them together to make stuff like this. Serious skills on so many levels- riding, filming, set design.... even the audio was beautiful.
Reminders me of a freestyle fixed gear video a while ago, where the dude was riding on a painting on the ground, but it looked like he was riding on some sick course. Can anyone remmenservice this video or the rider? Searching for it but cant seem to find it.
theres no doubting the technical talent of the rider and the film crew, just a shame they forgot about the need for visual narrative so for me its beautiful but ultimately quite boring... like everyone else i have an arsehole and an opinion
That was awesome! 1 minute later, between finishing the vid and getting to the bottom of this page, my alarm went off with that same song! Guess it's time to go ride my bike though an acid trip with supernatural skillz...
You should have filmed it. You could have started with a dream where you were in a video and then your alarm could have gone off and you could have got a shot of coffee and some orange juice etc. etc.
Actually, this isn't a particularly good showcase of his riding at all. It's a trippy video, but his riding is way better than this. McDuff can't compete with BMX riders for the same style - that's not a slur on him, just 26" wheels aren't as flickable as 20".
And oh yeah -- cool video.
Awesome video by the way.
