Big thanks to Tyler Maine from Pinkbike and to everyone that takes the time to watch me and my brothers movies. We love making them and reading the comments is very rewarding (sometimes haha). He has a part in the Anthill/Coastal crew video this year (Inside Out) which is going to be huge gnarly. Check it out!!

Jeremy Smith

Hey Jeremy, is there anyway that you could tell me what kind of knee braces/guards he is using? I'm coming off a serious knee surgery and those seem perfect! Solid rider, solid music, and an inspiration for me to get back on full throttle. Thanks!----David

they used slow mo because if we blink, we'd miss him.

konadona (May 26, 2011 at 13:26)

keep it safe man.

bikahowlick (May 26, 2011 at 14:19)

wow phenomenal video. one of the first biking videos that actually used metal properly. and as for the riding, i couldnt even keep my eyes on him he was going so bloody fast! great job!

frolosophy (May 26, 2011 at 16:28)

@ dualsuspensiondave

He's using the Pod MX K700 (http://www.podmx.com/).

Szlav (May 26, 2011 at 16:46)

How does he manage to make everything just ultra gnarly? Some of those lines are insane!

curtistownsley (May 26, 2011 at 18:03)

good job, that did exactly what a VOD should do.... got me stoked to ride!

SteezMcQueen (May 26, 2011 at 18:10)

someone needs to just go all out and fucking edit in some Cannibal Corpse!

dualsuspensiondave (May 26, 2011 at 19:02)

Thanks frolosophy!

8cr0we5 (Jun 25, 2011 at 17:31)

Cannibal Corpse, hahaha that'd be some funny shit!!!

Nikolais (Jan 12, 2012 at 5:34)

The knee braces he is putting on in the beginning are POD knee braces.
If you have had knee problems in the past then i would highly recommend them - they are pricy though!!!

finally! I'm tired of all this bitchy indy crapy music that they put on every video. It's depressing. At least just for the gnarly sick downhill vids they can put some decent music. I'm not asking for Black Metal, but at least a song with one breakdown

conorscully (May 26, 2011 at 10:55)

Best Vid ive seen in a while ^^ agree the music was perfect and a change

OliScale (May 26, 2011 at 14:17)

duno about that i though this music was pretty depressing

listeryu (May 26, 2011 at 9:27)

to every who said the music ruined the video or is not good

there are so many videos with a different kind of music, why the hell can´t there be one video with slayer. i think it suits the the way he rides an from what i can tell also the attitude of the rider

by the way - looks really sick

so - more videos of kenny smith and please keep slayer etc. for the music track (thumbs up!)

nouser (May 26, 2011 at 17:39)

Except it's not Slayer..It's DTP. And it sure as hell beats watching one of the 10,000 videos with The Intro as the backing music.

brucemacd (May 17, 2011 at 14:13)

Wow flat out! I didn't mind the music, It added to the pinned feel. I just would have preferred the sound of the bike tearing down the trail. Good vid' though, solid rider.

stevecabrera (May 17, 2011 at 15:51)

More slayer plzz!!!

BrosephGrant123 (May 17, 2011 at 20:03)

i thought he rode for Evil

dasior (May 18, 2011 at 0:15)

matt-bike-baha-2 (May 18, 2011 at 13:08)

@BrosephGrant123, he probably got fed up with going through a frame each run

He does not have flow, hence why the music does not flow...

tom-cuthbert (May 26, 2011 at 1:24) (Below Threshold)

The music doesn't flow because its rubbish

XKolohe1x (May 26, 2011 at 4:51)

Didnt this already make VOD?? and i liked how the music built into the video it started soft and slow and built uppp

exact (May 26, 2011 at 5:27) (Below Threshold)

Yap, same here...bad musical choice!! But yea good effort, all in all!! Keep it going. Cheers

nouser (May 26, 2011 at 11:12) (Below Threshold)

ha never thought i would agree with this guy but the music was awful but the riding was soo good just change the music as it sounds like someone is being sick !

nouser (May 26, 2011 at 18:21) (Below Threshold)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nymjfq2kXnI&feature=related put this over the vid. super dope

BLIPDH (May 26, 2011 at 23:23)

your mom didnt have any flow last night

matt-bike-baha-2 (May 27, 2011 at 3:09)

likewise, your mum squirted everywhere...

bushleague (Jun 6, 2011 at 8:45)

hahahaha

deathmetaldownhill (May 26, 2011 at 11:12)

How can anyone mistake Devin Townsend's voice, style and sound for Slayer or anyone else!

Big fan of Devin and SYL but didn't think the music fitted. DH is a fast sport and so i feel needs fast music!

notthatfast (May 26, 2011 at 13:11)

yeah, that sounds nothing like slayer... cool video, i liked it

nouser (May 26, 2011 at 17:39)

Slayer are the only metal band in existence, don't you know.

notthatfast (May 26, 2011 at 20:03)

oh yeah sorry, i forgot

Doule (May 26, 2011 at 10:49)

Never get bored of this vid,makes me wanna ride right now. Whomever thought this was Slayer for music,wow....sounds nothing like them..at all

cnote357 (May 26, 2011 at 7:01)

The music made this video so much better than all the rest....nice one Kenny

csermonet (May 24, 2011 at 10:30)

i like your guys style, only metal shredding songs in your videos! goes really well with kennys style, when he rides he literally looks like hes slaying the trail.

raceface4 (May 26, 2011 at 12:54)

you cannot kill the metal the metal will live on

adam-mitchell (May 17, 2011 at 10:10)

Kenny's one crazy mother f*cker!!

metalfreak (May 17, 2011 at 10:19)

that's right!

yannml (May 17, 2011 at 14:09)

"ohh fast"

Kenny definitely needs a black frame !

gloryhp (May 26, 2011 at 0:49)

sick video with sick riding, i thought the music was pretty good till the guy started shouting at me like i was doing something wrong!

johnmorrison (May 26, 2011 at 22:33)

Metal compliments DH very well, bout all I use....

waterfall99 (May 26, 2011 at 11:05)

I love watching Kenny Smith videos, His lines are so original and its really cool to see it done locally on the trails that we ride! So inspiring!

kiernf-568 (May 26, 2011 at 10:29)

whats the music to this and sick video

fenceface (May 26, 2011 at 11:03)

finally downhill with decent music behind it!

chettjames (May 17, 2011 at 13:05)

nice shredding, I see why you crash hard sometimes!!!! did you pin-stripe your Demo?

adambradya (May 17, 2011 at 16:00)

Kenny is sick to watch ride he's scary fast and still manages to double just about eveything on the trail

bikeronbowen (Jun 13, 2012 at 15:30)

that last shot of him gaping onto the rock roll on 5th horseman was insane

nsoul (May 17, 2011 at 15:38)

killer riding.. buy all of devin townsend's cd's

nouser (May 26, 2011 at 1:31)

sounded like devil driver to me. could be wrong

jimmyrecard (May 27, 2011 at 16:38)

how can it not? savage music obviously goes with savage riding. its like 1+1= 2. duuuhhh

EchoSin (May 26, 2011 at 6:33)

Great riding with the music highlighting the flow!

fat-hooker (May 26, 2011 at 22:02)

The metal made this vid over the top!!! Love the metal and dh riding! I'm tired of that gay rave music. Awesome riding and rad music!

DaveC92 (May 26, 2011 at 14:19)

Killed Kenny 21 secs in?

pedalhound (May 26, 2011 at 11:23)

Great video and awesome to see someone who is fast and NOT feel the need to pander to the camera with stupid cutties.

dualsuspensiondave (May 26, 2011 at 19:09)

Agree to disagree. pop/techno doesn't flow with it. Not enough power and attitude.

boulder174 (May 24, 2011 at 18:57)

what is "the new black " supposed to mean?

erlkonig (May 26, 2011 at 7:53)

It's a fashion reference. The colour black is traditionally the standby, tasteful, always in style colour. Then people started saying 'pink is the new black' or whatever, when some other colour came in style. Now they just say it about anything, because it's kind of funny.

norcoryder11 (Mar 4, 2012 at 18:20)

what song /? sounded sick

capt-picard (May 17, 2011 at 17:43)

Song?

The New Black by Strapping Young Lad. Awesome dudes from BC. Live show = very loud

Hell ya, stuck over here in NewEngland, I'm jealous of the folks over there who get to claim both MTB mecca AND Devin!

milanboez (May 26, 2011 at 0:48)

Sick riding and editing! Seems to cope fine without a neck brace (lol)

Below threshold threads are hidden

gombo8 (May 26, 2011 at 14:48)

sweet riding but i had to punch my speakers with brass knuckles to get the pain to stop. screamo and metal doesnt fit with riding. unless your just trucking through this monster rock garden or something along those lines it just doesnt fit riding. and everyone who said they are tired of all the indy shit ....well we (i) hate your scream metal shit, so COME AT ME BRO

and i just read above how the hell do you get spandex and techno? if anything screamo will wear spandex cause most people who listen to metal wear skinny jeans. skinny jeans= biking spandex.

SteezMcQueen (May 26, 2011 at 18:13)

you kinda dumb. skinny jeans are very different from biking spandex

dualsuspensiondave (May 26, 2011 at 19:06)

techno= feminine, spandex= feminine... that's how. Indy? I haven't heard any indy. That would be a type of rock, not underground techno. I myself as a musician, don't appreciate over produced electronic "music".

MauganXylon (May 26, 2011 at 3:21)

savage music??? :/ really??

dualsuspensiondave (May 26, 2011 at 9:51)

The music fits perfect. Sooo much better than that silly pop/techno garb that people are putting with riding. This is a hardcore sport, no need for spandex and techno music.

andrewgrant (May 26, 2011 at 16:14)

that 'pop/techno garb' is only used because it fits the flow of the riding. Why do you think hip-hop is frequently used in street vids? Cuz its slower, more technical music that fits with the riding. Doesn't matter if you like the music or not, if it meshes well with the riding, the video is a win. I personally didn't think this track went well with the riding but that's just me...
