 Having a sponsor isn't all about going fast. Being sponsored is all about being an approachable person that gets the name out about a company. You could be real fast but be a complete dick, and not be sponsored.

 And someone who is going to progress and continue taking it to the next level.

 true, its just I saw a 16 year old named carson from bend, OR on this site throwing down huge tricks and he doesnt have a sponser.

 Cheers Henry! Yea, getting a lot more into it all now
Yep, all about having fun!
Woodlands was great today! I broke my camera, but it was a fun race!

 Ah didn't know you were off down there today, did you ride at all? Oh crap how did you break it? Fixable?

 Nah, I was meant to be filming it, wish I'd ridden now. Not much point videoing a little race like that because there's not enough real quick riders and gnarly bits of course to film. The Focus is stuck so I have to get it serviced, kinda sucks, but i'm glad it happened today than at a National or at Fort Bill WC!

 What was the race like then? Many riders? Thought Adam and Olly were hitting it up.

 yeah there was almost 100 there I'd say. Adam was there but no sign of Olly, was quite a local turnout though. all those french kids were there. Had a little goon jump competition at the end of the race runs, Joe and the crew did some massive stem shags, was a laugh!

 Yep, they've been working hard up there. A BIG landing for a new jump, and they've re-built a few others. The Song is... Metric - The Twist And yes! I will indeed.

 Sweet. Any suggestions on what to build? Always looking for new ideas.

I'll get down there at some point. Looks like they're a busy bunch. (props guys)

I've got a feeling you'll be getting a few vod's when you get comfortable with it.

 Well, personally I'm a DH guy! Haha, but stepdowns are great fun, I love ski jumps where you can just go further and further on too! Yep they are, they're there every Sunday and most Saturdays building. Thanks! I hope so!

 he sounds like a twat at the begining

 Utah? Biking capital of the world? Don't kid yourself mate... How many lift accessed trails in Utah?

 easy timbo,check out his josh bender hucks www.pinkbike.com/video/111392

 Wow dude. There's nothing here that even compares to that.

 

 how many people go to England to ridebikes? and pretty much all the ski resorts here do biking in the summer. then you have moan, virgin, and redbull rampage

 oh ya guess where josh bender does 90% of his riding. UTAH

 guess what,benders back is fucked and he cant ride proper again...........

 Guess how many Pro/successfull downhiller's come out of Utah...? Or even the U.S.A in general, then compare it to the number that come from the U.K. Come back and tell me what you find out?

 that's not what I'm trying to prove. I'm proving that Utah has the best places to ride. duh

 I don't need to prove that you're wrong. Hey dude. How many people visit Utah every year for biking compared to Whistler and the Alps?

 Your contradicting yourself... if these amazing places exsist, there would be some decent riders being produced. And if they do exist they are being wasted. Also, your judging the UK's riding from a short vid of a local rider built trail in devon. 'how many people visit britian to ride?' - Fort william is a very popular destination, as are many of the welsh trail centres, hamsterly, Gawton, innerleithen, molfre (just to name a few)...ect. Ok so utah has the terrain for hucking, but its not downhill country. I dont remember the last time Utah hosted a UCI event? And i can count the american pro's on one hand. Also, who are you, your just the average 21 year old, your barley a rider, i mean, have you even raced? Half the local boys here in the Uk would show you up. So do us all a favor, its wearing out my keyboard, Drop it.

 +1

 gotta actually give him the props then jonah

  my bad

 

 guys have probably never been to utah

 guys probably never been to the uk.....

 Haha, yeah, tripod shots are good for panning. But for tracking shots tripods suck!

Are you going to be at the Combe Syd Race?

 i dont think so, think im still skiing, when is it?

 2 weeks time bro

 i will bve back then ill see as i might have no money left

 sick. It's gonna be such a rad race. Was such a good atmosphere last year. I can't wait.

 Is moab the place they ride in the collective?

 im sure they go there, i havent seen it, ill watch it and tell you if they went there. but stund videos they go to moab and virgin utah

 Thanks Scott! Yeah, I can't wait till I feel real confident using it, and knowing what everything does! Haha

 could have been a jet?

sweet vid too

 Yeah, it was a plane. Haha, would have been cool if it was a shooting star!

 that would give you plenty of time to think of a decent wish

 ahh yea hah

 Cheers man. Yeah I was surprised with how much you guys have done up there. Fair play.

 What do you mean by crank it harder?

 i would think he means pedal more

 Yeah .

 There isn't a lot there at the moment. By spring though I'm sure the place will be well worth a visit.

 Sony HDR-FX1E

 sick nice vid man

 He's on a Norco Shore. Pretty customed!

 From what i've seen, you don't deserve or need that bike. At that speed everything could be done on a road bike

 He's got Boxxer Races on his.

 Alright nice one you come over to england and ride a bog standard local then.
