Only a specialized punk would prefer this over Soderstrom's. However, still good to see Sherminator rides..

Umm, isn't soderstrom on specialized?

bconrad (Jul 22, 2012 at 11:04)

Yes I believe he is.

yannickbisson (Jul 22, 2012 at 16:16)

okay wait.....DTurenne?!?! Nice!!

hobblyjig (Jul 22, 2012 at 18:24)

Soderstrom's video was fun, but I prefer this one. To each his own

Waldon83 (Jul 22, 2012 at 21:44)

I thought that was Darcy! She's the beez kneez!

morganlambert (Jul 22, 2012 at 6:25)

two totally different types of riding displayed between this and the video with martin. however this one make me want to go get on my all mountain bike and rip a nice singletrack with some friends wheras martins video make me want to go shred some dh and try new lines on the trails i normally ride

The second song, i found it just a week ago and raved to my friends how it would be featured in a VOD or sweet PB edit soon.
Is anyone else feeling like PB videos are jacking your tunes?

motoracer712 (Jul 22, 2012 at 7:19)

Totally and vice versa! seems like all the new music i put on my ipod I hear on pinkbike first

KennyKillsIt (Jul 22, 2012 at 7:44)

before I've been able to stay a few months ahead of the PB videos, but now it seems only a matter of weeks if not days before the majority of my newest playlist has been used up

DBomberMan (Jul 23, 2012 at 13:38)

Happens to me all the friggin time. But then again like stated above, Ive also found some pretty kick ass tunes through mtb vids.

KennyKillsIt (Jul 23, 2012 at 14:52)

Its pretty cool how it seems like just about everyone in this bike community shares the same interests beyond our two wheeled delights

iamamodel (Jul 22, 2012 at 0:36)

That both warmed my riding soul AND tickled my funny bone.

knobblytyres (Jul 22, 2012 at 6:38)

Carlsberg don't make mountain bike movies, but if they did...

Andy-M (Jul 22, 2012 at 4:06)

Gotta say I preferred this video, all about the big mountain riding

summrider234 (Jul 22, 2012 at 6:25)

that cant be all shot with just gopros was it? the backgrounds were too in focus and most of the angles weren't even that wide.

moloch (Jul 22, 2012 at 8:29)

the use of go pros wasn't mandatory. so i'm sure they used other cameras

trickn0l0gy (Jul 22, 2012 at 9:59)

nope. they used RED cam equipement. that's quite the difference! some of the angles have a quality that a simple gopro will never reach.

As much as i love soderstrom...this was a fantastic film! great job guys

yeti85 (Jul 22, 2012 at 7:51)

Martin's video was more entertaining, but this one just motivates me more to go out and ride...which I'll do right now...cya! :-)

jorgehbb (Jul 22, 2012 at 13:11)

are movies like this one that make me think that bike+friends are the best thing

omidtehhun (Jul 22, 2012 at 13:33)

both great vids, martin's video wins on account of the ridiculous steez, but yeah... this was an awesome video nonetheless

mbisset (Jul 22, 2012 at 18:57)

Soul of MTB right here. Nothing like taking a breaking from puttin' it down to enjoy some nature with a Carlsberg, or any Barley Pop for that matter.

Neely (Jul 22, 2012 at 13:58)

I wish my girlfriend would clean my bike!

pb16379 (Jul 22, 2012 at 14:04)

Hahaha, what an awesome video. It even has a...is that a...plot?

trekrider1458 (Jul 22, 2012 at 18:42)

i feel like the lack of gopros may be the reason they didnt win

five (Jul 22, 2012 at 23:33)

The video is absolutely felicitous, but the santigold song "desperate youth" for a bikevideo is decadent.

Kapricorn (Jul 22, 2012 at 1:22)

Luv ya Darcy, but Soderstrom's alter-ego wins this little head2head.

panchoy (Jul 22, 2012 at 2:56)

Special hates to all the mosquitos out there... both entries are great...but this would win because of Darcy...

wobbem (Jul 22, 2012 at 7:50)

Should of been a Carlesberg ad, which I happen to drink in rather large amounts myself

mtnbiker1960 (Jul 22, 2012 at 12:02)

That one hit the spot guys. Thanks for the laughs!

skierdud89 (Jul 22, 2012 at 12:30)

Never thought of opening a beer with my spokes like that! With my luck I'll end up breaking the neck off AND a spoke

naadams2 (Jul 23, 2012 at 9:27)

DanailDU (Jul 22, 2012 at 9:33)

jaybake (Jul 22, 2012 at 10:39)

I believe favours should be favors

huck-lover (Jul 22, 2012 at 3:19)

Martins was more funny and well he is such a talented rider so he has helped the film but this one is sure close!!

BBiker54 (Jul 22, 2012 at 8:33)

i guess im a specailized punk!

Liam-Bosse (Jul 22, 2012 at 9:12)

b1k35c13nt15t (Jul 22, 2012 at 21:45)

Great video. That is what life is all about.

MedellinColombiaDH (Jul 22, 2012 at 23:02)

I much prefer Söderström video over The Fortune Favours Fools

caldwellvisuals (Jul 24, 2012 at 0:46)

That was a damn good video. Awesome riding too.

dosubesvelez (Jul 23, 2012 at 5:13)

Whats the first song?

JulioVTT (Jul 23, 2012 at 11:02)

Juste superbe !!!

Wribit4567 (Jul 22, 2012 at 4:18)

Martin's video was better. There was just so much style in his riding, and it was really funny seeing his alternate ego. I think this video was better filmed/edited, but it's not enough to overcome Soderstrom's steez.

rmb-396 (Jul 22, 2012 at 0:27)

dusse123 (Jul 22, 2012 at 1:08)

epic vid, but martins riding was epic in his vid so they're both good in different ways
