Amazing edit - the riding was sublime and the production was spot and an an original concept, 100seconds seems about perfect for me - if you cant get it across in that then there are probably too many goggle shots. Love longer films nut would really like to see more Raw 100s edits, like a tweet but so so much better, constraints breed creativity. Thank you all involved - wish I was that good with a camera or a bike!
Original concept? Where? and I would have thought that when you're making a video that fits into 100sec you wouldn't spend 30 of that with shots of nothing.
I think this is (one of) the best video long ago, nothing can make me want to ride more like this. raw sound, speed, style, awesome! and Rupert Walker turns every footage what he touches into gold.
I used to play a car racing game called Powerslide. Awesome game. If there were a bike version, that should be the intro video.
There are few guys that can shred a trail in a way that is as entertaining as the biggest jumps, drops & gnarliest tricks. How Semenuk, is it possible to slip & slide like you're on ice & then rail & nail every turn & hit like you can flip a slip switch? It's some of the steeziest shit goin'.
Always loved Semenuk's riding, even a few years ago when he was the "new guy" and caught some flack for it, I thought his riding was unique and something to call his own style. He's a rider where I can look at just his style without being told his name and nod knowing who it is just by watching. Here's to Mr. "S" having another great season in 2015.
Video of the year! I'll be it that its early in the year but what the hell, that was awesome. Haven't seen a video that good in some time. That raw sound made me want to run right out the door and shred. Semenuk makes me look like a toddler on a bike.
I never found that racers and free riders mix very well in trains. One always has to go fast and make perfect turns. The other is always looking to get loose.
This video is Awsome. Reminds me of the first videos I saw of Brandon driving his WRX up to his run in the woods and having style for days on the way down.
I've never felt so alienated from my fellow pinkbike commenters! I love how many people must have clicked on my hidden comment just to further down vote it.

Yep, it appears you are the only one.
