The Video of the Day thread

codfather

Had this idea a while back, never came to fruition due to one thing or another. Not sure if anyone has any interest in this, entirely possible I'll be the sole contributor, but here goes. The idea is; any one day releases/premieres of MTB videos/films will be linked here for your viewing pleasure. Also will be posting up some of my favourites and all time greats, feel free to fill in the gaps and add your own.

To get the ball rolling, here's a 22 minute video from an 18 year old Polish film maker depicting Crankworx in Whistler this year. Enjoy. http://www.pinkbike.com/news/whistler-free-online-movie-premiere-2015.html

Also, a nice hipster-produced, 16mm, primarily dirt jumping based video with Matt Macduff et al. http://www.pinkbike.com/news/keep-it-real-movie-world-premiere-2015.html

I like this idea, as I am constantly on the lookout for new mtb films (that are not made by a bunch of 10 year olds)

Here is an amazing, one take video with Brandon semenuk, pretty amazing if you think about the flow of trail and the fact that is is in one take, no cuts:

It was actually the release of unReal back in September that gave me the idea. The other general release segment from the film, Dirt Blizzard is also on the tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FefcH8IQhfE

Can't not include this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5Um03RJO7E

Since it's very much winter, a couple of hardtail hooning videos for today, just to illustrate how little you really need that 160mm of rear travel.
First up, Chris Akrigg's latest Mongoose advert;

The Rookie

Ouch!

Whoever thought leaving a that log by the side of the course is a Picnic short of a sandwich!

Some truly spectacular crashes in there and whoever left that log there needs their head looking at, just like the first rider that hit it...

Sticking with Chile coincidentally, here's a feel-good film to see in the new year. The story of Polygon UR rider Jamie Nicoll, who suffered horrendous burns to large portions of his body, to bounce back and (among other things) finish third in last years Trans-provence.
Available for a short period only.

Nice piece here to coincide with the release of Hope's Pro 4 hubs. History and manufacturing details aplenty. Favourite line was "We don't really want to get any bigger, we're right with the size we are now".

If you're interested in downhill racing, people speaking French or the colour yellow, Commencal have produced the video for you. A 45 minute season recap of 2015 featuring 0% Max; enjoy.

A strange video featuring assorted Kona Processeseses and the conclusion that they're all equally good
