Really worth the watch, if you are into riding in the mountains.

Very slick editing, but these guys ride these super gnarly trails/features with such ease...if only to ride terrain like this with such style.

My broadband isn't working very well, but I'm guessing:

Great riding and scenery
Gnarly terrain.
Camera angles slanted to make it look even more gnarly than it really is.
Too many 'Euro hops' round corners.

Am I right?

It's still lovely and makes you want to ride though.
and the way she says 'slickrock' is brilliant

It's epic riding Ferg, no doubt. Hard to relate to, though, for me - it might as well have been a manga clip it's that far from the riding I could even aspire to do.
Needs a bit of earthiness to leaven the slick, omniOMFG riding on display.

Yep on the nail grum, but ooozes panache, without trying to make it look steeper than it is, some heli footage i think, makes the sort of cutting edge riding done in Scotland or the Lakes look pedestrian.

Plenty of "euro hops" that's for sure 🙂

Nicely shot though.

Watching this is getting my heart rate up.

But for this music, it's only this:

But could he handle the infamous Cannock braking bumps?

Good film, stunning location, great skills - nicely shot comparing the trials and trail riding styles.

Also worth looking up "Into Thin Air" on Vimeo. I think it was on midweek mini movies a while back, and I think it's at least one of the same guys. Similarly amazing scenery and incredible riding. They also show you what you should really be carrying in your backpacks...

Edit: here it is:

Could do with a "riding only, no talking" cut tbh. Still ace.

OK, so there are lots of endo-turn things but be honest folks- if you could do them well, you'd do it at absolutely any excuse, wouldn't you? I'd be doing them [i]right now.

I was nearly right. That was properly ace though - no slanting of camera angles to make it look more gnar though. There was a series of Austrian 'big mountain' videos where they did that quite annoyingly.

Really nice video 🙂 I am completely sick of that song though, its been on so many pinkbike edits. Really wish there was more originality in the music choice for mtb vids.

Agreed

**** awful music.

Agreed

I was just getting into it then they kept cutting to the talking over and over and the music got worse as it went on.
Stunning riding, a nice little story to set the scene then it all fell apart after that.
