Counterpoint: Most social platforms are now setup to watch videos vertically and if you intend on posting to anything beside YouTube than vertical prob is a better choice. Bonus point: You are holding your phone vertically reading my comment right now. The only reason you want landscape is because we don’t have a video player optimized for both formats yet.
Good soundtrack this week. Exactly zero 'You OK?' s but a beautifully executed 'Kurva'. With the instant classic 'Full send brotha', some good laughs and all the moans and grons that makes for a good week evn with your eyes closed.
I laughed too hard at this one. Looked like they were stopping just to have a look. Then dead. That was a long way down too.
I too am glad they had a ff on.
Decided to take the Pro line at the last second!
I watched in slo-mo. He had the dab at the top but didn't put a foot down again until he was at the bottom of the chute. Clean.
Judging by how easily bike and rider tumbled, I think that terrain is FAR steeper than the camera shows looking up the trail. That guy ain't no punter. That's off-piste double black at least.
Quality clips this week. Most were riders with some skill, but not enough to stick their landings.
Also-the bikes were angry this week. Several attacked the riders.
3:16.... how do you fall that bad not moving? And the last one.... yeah please fall if you are going to ride with your brakes like that, I've never wanted someone to fall on these videos so bad.
Man, I've been able to make that noise since I was 5. When you turn 40 you'll be able to make it for longer periods of time. When you hit 60 you will be making it all the time.
That's been my experience, your mileage may vary.
That's a lie. (sent from my not-a-phone)
Oh yeah, to keep myself honest, and remind me that gravity never takes a vacation.
to the guy in the last clip - time for new brake pads
No elbow pads or knee pads at Mammoth = Splinters + Concrete rash + Pumice burn = painful learning experience
I've just got to figure out how to express that killer (Japanese?) accent on the shirt. Once I dope that out I'll sell so many I'll be able to retire.
Broken ribs? A whole lot in this weeks clips!!
Having broken ribs, can confirm.
1:55 for anyone wondering what you'll sound like after you break a rib.
Seat post up when hitting drop or jump = fail
