Far and Wide - Austin, Texas

Austin, Texas is known for a lot of things: live music, barbecue, and the Longhorns. We found all those things, but we also found a cycling rich town with a small, but quality trail network.

Probably should change the category on this one. There's nothing DH or freeride about this video.

What category would it be in then?

if you watch this with the sound off, you literally can't tell if it's a men's erectile dysfunction commercial or a coffee commercial. both truly VOD worthy. Sarcasm.

Sram probably payed Pinkbike to make this VOD.

Such gnar. That record store section was immense.

I live in Austin and I'm let down by this video. I agree with everybody trashing it. There are actually some ok trails and private mtb ranches (yes ranches, it's Texas). Too bad you don't get to see them. If you want to ride a fixed gear bike, shop for records and listen to shitty cover bands Austin is your place.

So RAD.....I love erectile dysfunction commercials......this vid makes feel even more blessed to live in the PNW. And blessed to not have ED or an ED type riding environment.

I love Sram and all and I never would use anything else. And I love most of their films but just because they are Sram doesn't mean they have to get VOD. There are hundreds of talented filmakers out there who are waiting for there shot at glory. Focus less on the company making the films and more on the film.

This one looks like more about the life's of the riders not about the riding itself?

I think this video has given me erectile dysfunction..........this did not get me excited!!!!

I feel like the last VOD not made by a global player was back in 2010. Wonder what i costs to have a vod

Nothing lol just gotta make a dope video. Maybe not the most exciting vid, but it's beautiful shooting, getting vod isn't paid for, it's earned.

Ive ridden the trails in Austin a few times, great XC trail stuff around there. But now i am in Denver, probably some of the best trail stuff in all of the US
