 Not VOD in my opinion, badly edited, badly shot, not much actually in the video (two tricks).

Head cam footage of a backflip gives not real feel for the size of the jump and then no alternate angle in the video.
The way the flat three was spliced together just made it feel 'awkwardly' edited.

 Well said mate, its advertising nothing more and personaly this sort of thing doesn't deserve too be VOD at all, its the sort of video you get if you click on the side bar...

 That is the word VOD i have ever seen. yeah WOW big jump but really..... i swear VOD was all about like Good edits and stuff.... and like maybe a bit more.....stufff....happening....
  • + 3
 Flat 3 was sick but it was off the 50ft ramp not the 78ft ramp. just a wee bit disappointed
  • + 16
 worst vod in a long time
  • + 10
 I have an idea, get off your couches, get out there and film something - make it rad, send it over and maybe it'll be a VOD too. VOD isn't always about the best editing, riding etc. Sometimes it's simply a cool trick or something we haven't seen before - like here - not a lot/anyone on an MTB has hit the DC Mega Ramps.

 Cheers to you Brule!! That is what I have been saying for a long time. If you don't like go do better!! I liked the VOD, some of this footage is the first of it's kind in the MTB world so respect!
  • + 1
 in my opinion, a longer better filmed and edited version of them riding the mega ramp would be amazing !! Smile
  • + 5
 If you seen that ramp in real life you would respect that 360 a lot more.
  • + 1
 I'm sure we would ^^ but say someone who has never been to woodward before watched this...ect, ect.
  • + 6
 shittiest vod in a while...
  • + 3
 that was weak
  • + 1
 larock needs to make another video so we can all enjoy a vod again!
  • - 3
 Say what you like in defence of this video but its plain and simply advertising for Go pro... now am sure we've all seen plenty of that !
  • + 1
 If this video was made by somebody not connected with GoPro and video was the same as this, we wont see it as a vod...
  • + 15
 im sorry but that was really pretty crap Frown
i mean the jump was amazing takes guts and i respect mike for it
but that video did not leap out at me
might just be im very hungover Frown
  • + 2
 too right, the edits to me should make the biking look better and more appealling. this didnt really do the big ramp riding any justice... vods should be hangover cures too Wink
  • + 2
 I've seen the big air comp in the x games. I think it's the first time on a mtb!!
  • + 2
 meh im not hungover now and it still not great its just to short and the camera angle are a little bit crap oh well respect to mike for doing it but disrespect the camera man
  • + 2
 whiny ass haters, this was monumental.
  • + 16
 Takes balls to do a 78 ft back flip. Balls that most people dont have...props haha
  • + 21
 i wish they included another angle of the backflip. especially given the length of that vid.
  • + 4
 That was pretty gnarlyyy.
  • + 10
 kinda short but pretty cool...i want to go to woodward now too
  • + 24
 that was just horrible...... how is that vod?
  • + 11
 so thats 20ft longer than the canyon gap in red bull rampage?

i dont think so.
  • + 3
 It wasn't horrible... However I would've liked it to be longer with less POV footage. It would be easier to appreciate the riding if you could see it from another angle. Although being a Go-Pro vid, I guess that was the point...
  • + 1
 apparently is the same size as this

?
  • + 3
 was it a flatspin because of the flat after spinning? not vod worthy i believe.. but props to mike and sam!
  • + 6
 Not really VOD material is it?
  • + 2
 The ramp they were hitting is 50ft. The middle ramp is 78ft...but they didn't hit that one. So it was actually 50ft flips and flatspins.
  • + 3
 God, only 50ft!!! What a pussy!
  • + 1
 Wasn't implying it was small. I can't backflip anything lol.
  • + 1
 It was the 50 foot side of the ramp, but Mike landed 28' 3 " down the tranny, so the final measurement that was recorded with a tape was 78' 3"... stay tuned for the entire ramp session, and non-POV footage in the '44 Days and Rolling' webisodes.
  • + 5
 I was watching this, and near the end i heard the music slowly sopping and i was like :S Bit short like dont understand how this has got vod ?? maby if it was longer it would of deserved to be vod but i just think its not good enough !! (here come the negative props !!) BUT STILL GOOD RIDERS !! The longer version should be vod !! this video felt like it was only on for about 40 seconds !!

But still good video !! tup
  • + 9
 hows that vod ?!
  • + 3
 they were probs high when choosing it!, nah its a good video but there are way better videos than that every day!
  • + 4
 because everyone is saying how shit it is i really want to see it. so the more people bag it out the more i want to watch it. but my internet is oober slow at the moment so i have to want an hour to load the video

when i went to click in the box to write this comment i didn't click on it properly, (the touch pad on my laptop isn't always nice) so i went to type, made a typo and pressed delete without even looking at it. because i wasn't writing the comment it sent me back to the home page. f*ck!

...... i was half way through!!!!!! Frown Frown Frown Frown Frown Frown : Frown
  • + 4
 neg prop me if you want, but don't BMX guys go crazy off stuff like this at the X GAMES? i guess the Video is still guurrrd though!
  • + 5
 Not really VOD material I don't think. Props to them but.

 Has potential but lets be honest, hardly VOD material. Maybe be cool if they threw in a few more angles and no just one guy doing a couple of tricks. Props to the guy though, those jumps take balls.
