I'd LOVE to compete in this, shame it's invite only and limited to 10 riders.

It's interesting to me that even though the course is one of the biggest of the year, most of the riders seem to be on hardtails. If this was a dirt course, I'd expect to see everyone on short-travel fullys, I guess the snow must have some give to it.

Hey, I guess you deleted your facebook or something, but what's that place with the slopestyle course you said you've been building at, and MIke Montgomery comes and rides it?

@James, that's my problem, I only ever land on my face :P

Cause I have opinions. I guess you're referring to the GT Athetron thing...I have no clue, I didn't say anything wrong lol

I agree with it being used mainly for trials, as they already have the urge-o-matic thingy for enduro and AM use, which offers basically the same coverage. Troy Lee also makes a 3/4 helmet and a couple of my friends use them for dirtjumping...and I ridicule them endless for it. It just makes NO sense to me, weight of a full face but no protection for your face? I also never really understood the whole thing about fullface's being hot and uncomfortable...I only own a fullface, and never wish for anything lighter or cooler... But that being said, it's great to see new products introduced into the market, perhaps it'll find a niche somewhere...but for me, it should stay in the 70's. (It should also be mentioned that most of them in the 70s required a mouthgard or came with a small faceplate attachement thing, ever see Joe Kid on a Sting Ray?

Also, it sounds like Gee didn't like the commencal's all that much...

Those are some of the best pictures I've seen, from a strictly photographer standpoint. Seen way better riding, but the quality is unreal, especially that last sunset shot, insane!

I'm getting neg proped for pointing out that I think it's ironic that PB is supporting low quality videos when they are constantly rejecting low quality videos? Pinkbike users are an interesting bunch. :roll:

I didn't make my last edit haha, but it's been getting good feedback. But believe me, I understand that. I just need a good filmer. My dad usually does all of mine, if I could just film myself, It would probably turn out a lot better...I get what you're saying, but I have no way of making that happening. I just feel like videos should be judged on the quality of riding alone, especially on a bike website.

You misunderstood me apparently...My point is that pinkbike is endorsing a low quality video, and making low quality videos, even though they constant reject my stories for the front page, not VOD or anything, "only" because of the video quality...The message I've always got [in my experience] is either you have a $2,000+ camera, or GTFO. Just an unexpected message to see from PB, is all. They're actually supporting the riders who aren't rich and don't have a high quality camera, shocking to me at least.
