Great edit. Great song. Now where's the footage of that tandem bike hitting the drop?

that lower section is so much gnarlier than it looks, those guys were hitting that last drop with some serious pace

You can't be miserable and listen to that song at the same time. It's not possible.

Solid edit for sure, but I gotta say I've heard that music on just a few too many action sports shorts...

It was a surprisingly awkward song to edit to tbh, the tempo changes so much that you're not sure where the bars start and end.

that drop was the gnarliest thing i have ever seen

It took a few people throughout the weekend. 2 broken legs and a heavy concussion were among them, as well as numerous slide-outs and camera casualties to the red-bull crew who were there filming Brook.

Nice liked that one. Wish I had faster internet here at home. Will watch full speed at work tomorrow!

Felt that there was way to much "filler" slo-mo, lots of the same shots, no interviews, no feeling from the weekend.

Job done then! These ones are basically video bytes for the riders and people who were there, short sharp quick to the point edits just long enough to show the highlights. Natipnal champs and North Island rounds are going to be more team-bases edits though.
