 Cool! Nice rideing and trail, but you can't really complain on the filming/editin eighter. Would be cool to se sam and gee ride down that trail.. Razz

 Yeah, it looks fun but I couldn't do it! I found a really good place to build a track just like that! But it would be too steep for me. Don't like it too steep!!!

 this trail reminds me of the trail short and smoky that smokey rode in another vod

 sick trail, but i dont think that was the right song to fit it. it was too fast and yu were going really slow the whole time. it just didnt work for me.

 i thought he was a gonner at 133.6... he used good skill and strength to hit the jump aswell! great trails!

 Sick vid man, technical tracks are fun and all but i've gotta admit, I like just rippin out on open trails a lot more, but maybe if I was as good as you i'd prefer technical though lol, VODBig Grin

 pretty lame tbh.. only my opinion its just too slow! nice video quality and editing tho.
  • + 11
 okay, honestly? where are the jumps, the drops etc. i agreed with the jizz man with the quality and editing, but something lil more extreme would've been better in my opinion.
  • + 6
 yer, was a bit boring to watch in my opinion
  • - 3
 i reckon the guy could have pinned harder. was too slow. he played it safe and i see its a tech track but jeez. his back wheel was like locked up the whole time. get loose man not vod in my opinion
  • + 17
 i dont think u realise how steep this thing is. if id gone any faster there is not a chance of me stopping. its loose, steep and sketchy. i no its not the fastest track in the world and all u little kids just looking for some 'sick jumps' may well be disappointed but its great fun to ride and really challenges u as a rider.
  • + 4
 steep, loose and technical...looks like loads of fun. Big Grin
  • + 1
 Yeah! Camera's don't pick up how steep it really is!! I bet you (scarecrow) wouldn't ride it!

I wouldn't, cos I can't handle corners on anything that steep!
I can see you're saying its boring, but its just that its not a fast track! DH has many variations!
  • + 3
 JizzOnFace must have had some jizz in his eyes whilst watching this video! Everything about this vid was outstanding, from the riding to the editing. Props to the rider and editor! VOD!
  • - 3
 you would lose that bet. im not going to say im an outstanding rider but nothing is "too steep" to pin and i have never come accross a track im to "scared" to ride. and i have ridden alot of tracks. it doesnt matter how hard a track is. thats all the fun of it, the challenge. the harder the better cuz it shows you your riding skills and your limits.
  • + 5
 wow you really are full of yourself arnt you. and this is a hard track, its very steep most the way down so give the guy a break. we hardly go riding there. just this time i took the camera up and made a small video of the track. it was never meant to be anything special. why you think i just faded the music out at the end cos thats all the footage we had of it. none of us spent alot of time making this vid and its just meant to be a bit of fun. so all you people getting all worked up about how slow the riding is and how the music doesnt fit just lay off. not once did i say this is a professional rider being filmed by a professional. we are just a couple of guys doing what we love doing. so if anyone has a problem with that then they shouldnt be on here cos when i signed up to pinkbike i thought thats what this website was about.

 have a cry mate. the reason for puttin vids up is to get feedback - positive OR negative(and to show off tracks and loctions and riding and stuff). just take the criticism because someone will always have a bad word to say about something
  • + 9
 i think is stupid
  • + 4
 whoever thinks this is stupid is a f*ckin idiot {Freerider7766) id like to see anyone else do that.

this vid is awsome
and the editing is just a bonus
this guy has still...
look how loose that dirt is
i mena comon guys...give him some props
i know its not the gnarliest thing ever
but its still pretty frikin sick shit
so its got my vote

 for anyone who thinks its slow:
Look at how steep it is! tree angles and the walk back up give it away.
those who do ride tech will know this is not a bad exsample shame its wasted on those who cant see it ITS ALL IN THE DETAIL
  • + 2
 Wilson.. nice vid. Looks like a very fun trail to ride. thanks for sharing that with us.
It reminds me of riding my home in Prince George and Williams Lake.
Note to the rider..fun looking trail but try to keep the mantra in your head.. ride dont slide. It wears the trail out faster and also you;ll be more in control.. and if your more in control your gonna go way faster ! Thanks for taking the time to film too Smile

Keep pinning that trail.. I'd love to see a re-edit one day too.. with more trail.. I love the technical trails, especially when they are ridden fast !!

More highspeed technical trail VOD !

 some of you really dont appreciate how hard this trail must be to ride, sure theres no jumps or big drops but it takes alot more skill to do a technical track like that than it does to pull up the front wheel and do a drop, great video and riding mate
  • + 1
 Does anyone know the song title band???

Respect for the DH and trail, they were wicked, it takes skill and patience to ride something like that. I hope high speed vids like this resurrect soon!

 agreed i kept waiting for somethig to happen. he jsut rode the back break the whole way down okay the edditing is good, but this isint info tech. its about the riding, who ever pics these should keep that in mind. im expexting to get bombed with the negative props but whatever that my two cents.

 how do the vod and the pods get chosen

 this video is fucking shitty u dont know how to ride a bike all u do is lock ur brakes up and go down the trail

flag sniggled (Jul 14, 2008 at 10:41) (Below Threshold)
 Agreed 100%

The riding is horrible, on a poorly constructed trail that is straight down the fall line. I lost track of the times the rider almost ate it. Any hack can lock their rear wheel and skid down that. And why make it so you have to hike back up the downhill only trail? Drrrr? Why are you wearing a full face helmet anyway? You're only going about 6 mph tops.

The only thing worse that the video was the music. Will people stop posting videos with music from stereotypical sell out emo bands made up of rich suburban white kids who have nothing to do but pretend that their lives suck.
  • + 5
 shut up u fukin idiots there is no way u cud ride that trail. im fed up of all the people havin a go at the trail, my riding and the video. if u had any idea how steep and HARD TO RIDE this trail is then u wudnt b sittin in front of a computer screen bitchin about it. its not a fast trail big deal its very very steep and the fact is that so far only 1person has been able to ride it cleanly. the only way back up to the top is via the trail or goin round the hill which takes 30minutes. the back brake is there for a reason if i dont use it i dont stay on, down a trail that is close to 45degrees or steeper in places. so please if u think your so good then stop bitchin and both of you actually put some pictures on pb of actual riding not some crap bike and some random dirt jumps. full face helmet beause there are big rocks big trees and steep chutes. 6mph because any faster and its hard to control the gradient. the trail is a natural trail which I understand you might not like seen as you probably just ride other trails that you didnt build. and finally i think you'll find that alot of people like this sort of music in britain its not just shitty rap music or heavy metal. they can actually play instruments.
  • + 0
 well said, that trail was evidently really challenging and well constructed so I dont know what you smoking sniggled. That music was not emo. Emo is raw screaming and noise. Just co you dont like it doesn't mean it's bad. The rider obviously has bags of skill!

When you fall and smash all your teeth out on a rock you'll understand why he was wearing full face, its not about how fast your going it's about how hard you hit the ground, and where.

Also you asked you asked why he didn't ride back up. DID YOU WATCH THE VIDEO? It's steep as, not even an xc boy could get up that!

Credit where it's due. Great riding, Great editing, GREAT VOD!
