 Only about half of that Video was riding, 29 seconds...sorry i think it was a little short!!!!
  • + 47
 Half of the comments were deleted, so here's mine again:

It looks like this video was chosen to be VOD for its sponsors before it was uploaded or faved by anyone, this is sad because whilst the filming is quite good, it only contains thirty seconds of rather average riding.

 Earth will stop moving if the sponsors don't pay!!!

 Entitlement issues aren't just restricted to America I see...you guys are complaining about one video being chosen because of sponsors, on a free website...even going as far as saying the website is "scumbag." Grow up. You guys make bikers look like a bunch of f*cking whiners.

 Matt W. There will be a new one tomorrow, so just quit your whining about how there was only 30 seconds of riding and shit, ok meow. Its just a VOD! There is no reward or prize for receiving VOD. Geez.

 *starts playing video* *writes bitchy comment* *video stops half way through* -_-

 Seriously, can't these sponsors get a decent video with more than 30 seconds of riding? It's not like footage is that expensive... or there is a shortage of people willing to be filmed.
This effort makes me think alpinestars are really lazy.

 OIE whats this song hahaha

 Scumbag Pinkbike: Picks friend's poor quality video to be VOD, deletes negative comments.
  • + 9
 My earlier comment was deleted so here it is again.......

VOD ? ..... WHY ?
  • + 1
 same with mine! shouldnt delete peoples opinion when there getting alot of props for it, obviously shows that people agree with props! shows pinkbike made a crap decision, there is so many videos that are better than this out there on pinkbike that havent been vod, this is deffinately not vod worthy, especialy with about 30 seconds of riding in there!

 I am so sick this song in videos. How many millions of songs are there out there and yet the same bunch keep getting recycled. Pinkbike seems worse than hit radio for replay. Your shots are money but dig a little deeper for a track.
  • + 4
 This vid was prob made before they knew about the other VOD having this song. I've seen that Naked and Famous song on a million more edits than this track!
  • + 9
 Yes because re-editing those 5 shots would have been such a burden....
  • + 8
 Wait a second, they deleted a lot of comments!
  • + 6
 It's because pinkbike didn't want their feelings hurt Frown
  • + 5
 The deleted all the comments saying how bad and dumb this was, that is pathetic. Censorship at its worst. its a public website where people can say what they want and express themselves. DON'T CENSOR IT. That is pathetic.
  • + 7
 ill still take that same song over and over again than shitty dubstep remixes
  • + 11
 Looks like lots of comments have been deleted. . . .

So I'll repeat: less emphasis on focusing on a little dust and roost kicked up in the corners please. Only a very few frames with an entire bike and rider actually in them. Lots of good shots of dirt, trees, and a knee pad; not so much bike.
  • + 3
 I agree, they seem to have spent more time filming the floor/trees than the actual rider (who wasn't particularly spectacular in the first place), poor VOD choice.

Yes sponsors are important, but really, pinkbike? REALLY?
  • + 11
 Ummmm VOD worthy?
  • + 9
 Outrageous product shots, pedal kicks, driving your bike in the back of the truck and most important tons of slow-mo dirt flying shots; that's pretty much checks off all the boxes for a VOD. Not to mention almost full 30seconds of riding! Ha!
  • + 2
 His flannel stayed fully buttoned the whole time. Totally not VOD worthy.

 downhill on a full suspension bike, how original
  • + 7
 WTF was that ? C(rap)OD ?
  • + 4
 Erm....... I need a camera to make a spoof. "how to make shit look bigger than it actually is"
  • + 6
 good song

 i best alpinestars are kicking themselves with the negative comments on this VOD - complete backfire... to much product placement and far to short ......

 Less money here! In my modest opinion, there is more passion & skill in my rubbish. It is just my wife and me pointing an iPod Nano. You know a little piece of... video device (point and shoot) - using iMove editing. It makes everything look flat without true depth of field. However, my wife now has a new camera/(HD)video device so... this summer should be great rain or shine. Look out Les Carroz, Les Gets, Chatel & any hill in my desires. www.pinkbike.com/video/215552
Like it, hate it or be indifferent.

 I would honestly even be so happy to own the camera you have, I'm stuck with a pos canon SD somthing
  • + 1
 Yeah, I'm getting greedy!

 So here's my opinion:
It's a sweet little video, great filming, really fun looking trails, a sick bike, has a slightly overplayed song, and it shows some sponsors. Sure, it's short, but that doesn't make it a bad video. The way I see it, who cares if the VOD is a half hour long movie or a 15 second clip of someone doing something completely insane. A VOD is a VOD.

I think this video is sweet, but I think the rider needs to loosen up a bit! I'm totally jealous of him ridin that trail though, there's no roots anywhere here in Colorado.

 Too short
  • + 2
 That was maybe 5 seconds of riding time slowed down with the black keys in the background ..... It's a shame that this is VOD when real enthusiasts are doing much much more regardless of no sponsorship. Fin.
