A CX bike is all you need for that terrain.

joshtp

S-Works Crew

I don't do any extreme riding as my old man wont let me this moment , so yeah I'm riding around with a real good bike at the pace of a baby So until I branch out and get meself a car then am riding like a wussy 8)

everything aint about speed , or do you just want to see a funny crash

MarkLG

Some pretty extreme terrain there.

wow, can anyone say "fanboy"?

mrfmilo

If i'm honest, that was abit gheyy. The start where you look out down the hill is way too long, for that terrain you should have been riding at least 5x faster and the slow-mo is abit naff.

But apart from that it's OK

bobpzero

he's just specialized.

I thought I recognised that common theme that seems to stand out in your posts

nice video mate, and real nice bike....oh and ignore some of the idiots on here, ride your bike how you like and enjoy it ....

Must admit, when you were stood at the top of that hill I thought you were going to rocket down it.

Nice bike though, and a well made Vid if not that extreme.

Stuff like that will come soon enough when their aint super loose chunks of bricks under my wheels and when theirs clearly time to slow down

The local Hills aint got that flying touch to it and none of the tracks are long enough, just for fitness realy.

nice bike... i'm gonna make a vid too, in my garden

Haha! 1:27 - did we really need a slow-mo?! I think it was slow enough the first time!

Do you pay attention to things in video ? like watching the forks working and the fsr linkages, you dont do you

obviously doesn't see the point in slow motion.

No mate - I don't!

Whatever gave you that impression...

And if you are going to watch the forks working, surely it'd be better to have them working as hard as possible, not gently rolling over some dirt or, ooh, a muddy puddle!

Come on guys, leave the kid be.

Maybe this is the first step for a great downhiller or a great mtb film maker, who knows?

Use the critics you saw here into the next video you make and keep improving!

Replays are good when the initial shot is too quick to pick up on what's going on, but whent heinitial shot looks in slow mo in any case, there's no need for the repaly in super slo-mo.

lawman

if you worry about bricks and lack of space to stop in that time you gotta a lot of work to do buddy if you wanna be an xc racer im quick downhill and at an nps xc race i barely kept with the flyweights, they were chuffing quick

First video I'v ever done , In my eyes as I don't do any extreme riding 'yet' it's good for my first video , But to all other people with experience of been on proper tracks and not having their mother or father beside them saying slow down it's total shite, only place round here I have is where Jeeps drive and little tracks full of broken up house bricks :shock:

Practice makes perfect

Oxygen Thief

I'd say the videos made quite well. The slo mo's are seriously slow though. And the replay starts way too early back on the shot. It is good seeing the suspension working etc but your slo mo replay takes about 3 seconda until your wheel and fork are in shot.

How old are you? If you don't mind me asking.

17 , Only been riding for a few years and been ill half the time plus I only go out when I'm with my parents anyway.

TommyEss

Yep - sorry - wasn't meaning to be overly harsh - but as said - the original speed footage is already pretty easy to view - that superslowmo is great for the hard hitting tackles in rugby matches, but a bit much given the type of riding shown here.

The quality of the video is very good - well put together - certainly more than I could manage - just need to get yourself to a trail centre now and get yourself some more footage.

I think this calls for an extreme case of M(ing)TFU. 17? Screw your parents, just fly past them. It can't be much fun going that slow in all seriousness? Show your parents some videos on youtube of how people do it. I don't mean show them the pro's hammering it, I mean just normal people witht heir helmet cams on etc.

A few years is quite a bit of riding to be fair. How are you not bored by now? I'd not rode a bike for about 8 years since I was about 18, then bought one a few months back and I seriously wouldn't go that slow, it'd be pointless. Especially with a piece of kit like that.

bails87

You've got some decent terrain there though. Think of us poor people who chose 'mountain' biking and then realised they live somewhere completely flat

As long as you wait for your folks at the bottom of the hill what's the problem? I say just blast down stuff as fast as you want, as long as they're behind you somewhere you'll be fine.

I'm fast on downhill like anyone , But I need to get to a center , where the magic happens.
