I read somewhere on red bull bike that he used life behind bars to promote rad company, and that just came out, sooo....

AMGoran (Jun 15, 2015 at 1:42)

Of course thats how marketing works then the tiny detail that it was a pretty good show is not important to them. But its not like he won't do any more filming projects or that he will need some marketing for what ever.

bikerguy957 (Jun 16, 2015 at 0:10)

I think semenuk started life behind bars before he started rad company but if that is the case he should use it to promote chaos with life behind bars to

AMGoran (Jun 16, 2015 at 4:14)

But wasn't rad company connected with red bull somehow? don't think chaos has that connection with red bull

Frenchemetalheads (Jul 21, 2015 at 12:36)

Life behind bars was film in one years, the 3 seasons, during the years they filmed the movie, and they do the montage in 2 years.

1. This movie looks awesome, dude has skills, power wheelies, step down to manual over roller, and fire everywhere...say what?!?
2. @troyleedesigns You do a hell of a good job making a presence and showing your athletes support. If I start racing I will be calling you for a kit.

TLD: that is truly great of you guys, comps never show the true abilities of the top I Would much rather watch a video of all the red bull rampage riders landing their sickest tricks than watch the comp. too bad the industry is so determined to always rank the riders.

Great for the athlete, but videos are better for viewers! Maybe you just need to hang banners in the background of the videos!

kbrock (Jun 14, 2015 at 8:47)

TLD: It would seem like most of these guys are capable of both! Injuries are of course always an issue with increased competition + film time, but by and large most seem to get it done and come out the other end. Happy with this industry.

Warning: After watching this you will develop the severe fixation to go outside build a jump over your fire pit. In the event you do not make it be sure to fallow these steps... 1: Remove bike from fire. 2: Only when your sure that the bike has been removed from the fire than proceed to remove yourself from the fire.

Didn't everyone build fire pit jumps as kids? I'm surprised we never burned the woods down.

I built a gap jump in my yard years ago, hosed it with lighter fluid, and did flaming gap jumps for the neighborhood kids. They thought it was cool. My wife...not so much.

JoseBravo (Jun 12, 2015 at 4:39)

another slow-mo film by brandon semenuk. I know I am going to get negpropped, I bet it has some awesome riding, but the whole trailer was on slowmo. I bought rad company and it was not entretaining to watch. Semenuk is the best rider in the world, but his movies could be a little more fast paced

68 7

anchoricex (Jun 12, 2015 at 8:09)

Awsnap let's talk about this. So first off, there were actually a pretty big handful of non slow mo clips in that trailer. I'd say the balance was good.

Second, let's talk this point: Why slow mo? Like other film cues, slow mo evokes certain feelings, I personally don't mind it when it's done tastefully. No nobody wants to watch a berm get ripped in slowmo, but to catch that whip in slowmo and watch how contorted his body is to actually pin the bike out that far sideways? That was cool.

Third, let's talk about Brandon himself and why he chooses to work so much with Rupert (the filmmaker): I've noticed this recently. Brandon is a creative kid, like it or not. Think creative-artsy-fartsy who is still discovering that side of himself through biking. He's been picking up 35mm film cameras lately, and tinkers around with his film crews gear all the time. I think when Brandon is over the hill with biking, he's going to drift into film production. So you have this kid who undeniably enjoys art/film/photography, and this filmmaker Rupert who seems to really spin the art section of biking very well. Chances are they're gonna enjoy working together on this shit.

Last: Brandon is a professional mountain biker, he bikes more then you and I ever will combined. You probably ride on weekends. He rides 7 days a week. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he loves mountain biking more then you do. He's contributed more to the scene then you and I have. So someone who eats sleeps breathes mountain biking can appreciate a nice bit of slow mo here and there, but a couple kids who casually ride on weekends can't ? Who's to say it's right or wrong? Nobody, but his and Ruperts choices have more merit then anything we have to say on the matter.

Plus, you can ALWAYS go pick up a camera and start filming yourself, and make mountain bike movies the way you want to make them. You might actually get decent enough at shooting and editing to start scoring shoots with talent like Brandon. It's always those who have nothing to show for their art that are critical of the art of others.

Biocoug1 (Jun 12, 2015 at 8:13)

@anchoricex- Well said. People whine and complain so much about Brandon and I do not get it. Everything you said was dead on balls accurate.

CycloGoss (Jun 12, 2015 at 9:53)

Everyone's entitled to an opinion, I'd hardly say @JoseBravo was whining. Just because his opinion doesnt match yours, and it goes against your clear love for Brandon, doesnt mean he needs a well presented, multiparagraph argument. Bruh

JoseBravo (Jun 12, 2015 at 10:16)

I like Brandon, I consider him the best rider in the world (he is very talented and has put a lot of effort into that) and for sure he has done a lot for the sport. I'm just saying that Rad Company let me down because it was all shot in slow-mo and by the looks of the trailer this one will have a lot of slow-mo too. I prefer fast paced movies, but that's just my taste, semenuk and walker do what they consider as best for them. I'm just saying as a person who "consumes" bike movies what my preferences are so I can buy their work

Biocoug1 (Jun 12, 2015 at 10:25)

@JoseBravo I guess I shouldn't have implied your comment was whining. I hate seeing people say negative things about the movies we get in this sport. I liked Rad Company a lot but one thing I have learned about film making is it has really become about the art of the rider/filmmaker. Film has advanced since the NWD days and the use of Cable cams, drones and Gopros along with the increase in resolution. One of the things Anchoricex hit on that I agree with is that the use of slo mo does often show how truly complex a trick is. The position of the rider over the bike or what not. I love seeing fast, furious and less slo mo myself but when I see how the trick is set up it makes me look at the rider and say "holy effin Shit, how did he do that" Coastal Crew videos do exactly that for me. Those guy's ride and film as much for the love of film as they do for the riding. Oh and Norbs all day baby!!!!

liammullany (Jun 12, 2015 at 10:26)

@JoseBravo Have you ever watched one of Rup's videos?

JoseBravo (Jun 12, 2015 at 10:50)

I have watched his videos, but not knowing he was the one filming. Maybe I was just scared of the film being all in slow mo. if rebel in the chaos is similar to the video of tom van steenbergen on whitler made by rupert walker I will buy it happily. Also this is just a trailer... we are pretty much speculating what the movie will be like.

lews-therin (Jun 12, 2015 at 14:18)

In the "Behind The Lens - Rupert Walker" he says;

"When I watch my favourite movies outside of mtb that inspire me, very rarely will there be slow motion. 24fps is my favourite frame rate and all of my favourite films have been shot in that format."

So I'd expect this to be a lot more like the RAW 100 ( www.pinkbike.com/video/402811 ) that Revel co. have already done.

hardcoredivision (Jun 12, 2015 at 13:54)

Red Bull you should make a series alike "life behind bars" but with A. @Lacondeguy and friends....it should be Epic and loads more fun...Semenuk is a great rider, has tones of tricks and balls, but when it takes the helmet off he just looks boring (his probably a nice guy but...).
What people want is Tricks, Balls and mayhem

Please dont fill me off negative props im just giving my opinion..

McArdle FL (Jun 13, 2015 at 7:50)

The comments on here seem to miss the point of the whole thread, i mean i couldnt b arsed to read the whole thing it was getting to in depth withtheins and outs of who knows what or not. But for me the vid was sweet, brandon is an awesome flawlessly smooth rider and i too love and sorely miss life behind bars, Redbull dropped the ball by letting this series go.

mtnryder56 (Jun 12, 2015 at 9:00)

i wish the first 45 seconds of a 1:15 second teaser wasn't just an intro showing how well he can walk

Sasquatch-yeti (Jun 13, 2015 at 12:33)

He actually looks a little bow legged to me. Probably to accommodate his massive balls.

alexsin (Jun 12, 2015 at 9:35)

That was awesome. However, 'chaos' is a strong word to use when describing dirt jumping, probably the most manicured and calculated mountain biking niche.

ryansimonovich (Jun 12, 2015 at 10:39)

We are lucky to have such good and creative film makers in the MTB world!

Sasquatch-yeti (Jun 12, 2015 at 15:39)

Semanuk is great , however, in the first trailer they said he might have to kill and now apparently he is a pyromaniac. Maybe next he can run over some puppies and kittens or perhaps bunny hop over disabled people. Maybe tail whip a Panda. I also thought it was kinda rude how he slammed that door. Still will watch the movie

Artikay13 (Jul 14, 2015 at 19:50)

I don't need berms to be set on fire to enjoy a mountain biking film. Give us fast riders on fast tracks without slow-mo along to some banging tunes. Ideal!

potateo (Jun 22, 2015 at 17:00)

What do you want? This film is about Semenuk, not anyone else. This isn't just "Semenuk doing stuff with different scenery", Its a completely different approach to a mountain biking film, with a different mood and feel to everything.

Although Brandon is an amazing rider, and a total treat to watch. This whole concept looks pretty retarded. What is with all of the fire, and color effects? Seriously?

"no gratuitous 'may as well have been a still photo' slow mo."
Just regular slow mo, I guess. The whole video's just going to be full of whips and tricks you've seen a hundred times over, in some other video, maybe shot at a slightly different angle. MTB's so far behind BMX, I don't even know why they bother filming videos any more.

@brianclaw somebody pissed in your cereal this morning?

muyguapa (Jun 12, 2015 at 10:50)

Nah, but seriously... MTB videos show the same thing over and over and over. Look at how far BMX has progressed in their tricks. Even MX has progressed... What has really happened with MTBs? We've got a new wheel size...

darren853 (Jun 12, 2015 at 14:00)

seriously if you think that everything is the same over and over,do not watch it then ! Brandon is supercrazy guy who always comes up with new tricks and inovations and I dont think that he wanted to make a movie full of tricks and things that had been done before,I am super stoked,he pushes the limit of MTB every year,last year it was cork 7 off a drop,the year before it was flat drop backflip can can,and if you think Revel is going to be boring,make your own movie that would be interesting to watch and better than Revel, I cant wait !

I love it when one of the dullest speaking athletes shows us chaos in slomo and black silhouettes.
Can Mr McDuff show this guy what innovation really is?

Brklss (Jun 12, 2015 at 6:06) (Below Threshold)

Yeah, I feel the same way. He doesn't come across as very likeable and this trailer actually puts me off even watching it. Was the target market 15 year old people?

Totally agree with you guys. This concept looks like a joke. Turbospoke material here.

I love how you're all being downvoted to hell, all because you're not participating in the circle jerk and gargling on Semenuk's testicles. He really is one of the duller riders out there. He has skills, no doubt, but he and many other riders out there, are just doing the same tricks over and over again.

SPOKEn (Jun 12, 2015 at 22:27)

Even watching slopestyle at crank works I got bored because it was just the same tricks from different people. Nothing super exciting. I respect the effort and skills these guys have but there is no innovation any more.

mtb101010 (Jun 13, 2015 at 19:08)

Brandon has landed many firsts in the FMB so I don't understand how him being praised by that is "gargling his testicles." Please do explain @brianclaw

muyguapa (Jun 13, 2015 at 20:49)

Gargling Balls: when a person metaphorically gargles the balls of another person with their mouth because he is that person's personal servant or bitch.

Good enough of an explanation for you?

mtb101010 (Jun 15, 2015 at 20:17)

I am a completely competent human being and understand your reference I just want you to explain how he is "just doing the same tricks over and over" @brianclaw

muyguapa (Jun 15, 2015 at 23:07)

Why don't you tell me what he has done that has never been done by another athlete on a two wheeled vehicle? Or find something in that tiny "teaser" that has not been repeated, ad nauseam, somewhere else?

jahspliff (Jun 12, 2015 at 0:07)

Honestly, 80% of that had nothing to do with mountainbiking, and seemed totaly irrelevant. Why cant a film ever just be about the riding, and not all this artsy-emotional-intense-freeride-shred-bro garbage? Am I the only one who feels this way?

It's the best rider in the world, pushing himself to do things that have never been done on a bike before. How does this not please you people?

@bmxrace121 To you and the (thankfully) few who had similar sentiments about The UnReal (cough @TEAM-ROBOT ). Please, go make your own movie. I would absolutely love to have more bike videos to watch. The more the merrier.

You’re also forgetting this is only a trailer… It’s not supposed to give away the whole movie

TEAM-ROBOT FL (Jun 12, 2015 at 8:44) (Below Threshold)

@scottsecco True, "It's the best rider in the world, pushing himself to do things that have never been done on a bike before." But it's also a bunch of slow mo. And a weird fire theme. And the opening line in this press release is "No timelapse filler shots, no globetrotting helicopter pageantry, no gratuitous 'may as well have been a still photo' slow mo." So to present this as not-another-contrived-art-film when it's clearly just another contrived art film is... dumb.

^Dude get off of Pinkbike already if you feel that way! If these amazing films don't get you stoked, you really should get into another hobby.

@TEAM-ROBOT You're a funny writer, but the bitter negativity towards anyone who actually tries at something needs to find it's way back to high school

muyguapa (Jun 12, 2015 at 10:56)

I'd like to wager that nothing he will do(trick-wise), in the video, has not already been done, by someone else, on a bike.

BrockTwitch (Jun 12, 2015 at 13:06)

It's sad you guys like to dull the progression mountain biking. This film and riding are gonna be next level. If you disagree make your own film, nobody is stopping you.

bigburd (Jun 12, 2015 at 15:00) (Below Threshold)

As soon as I seen the opening scene it turned me off , the fire scene is just gimicky-arty-wank-fest-filler had me instantly thinking I bet this will be another generic slow motion snooze fest.

Gweggy (Jun 13, 2015 at 8:56)

I enjoyed the whacky footage of george brannigan smashing queenstown a lot more than this or any other professional film in the world.

atrokz (Jun 15, 2015 at 9:06)

Who declared him as "the best rider"? Last I checked there were dozens of guys in various disciplines who can vie for that crown, including several guys beating him at comps. Did we miss the be all end all competition or something? Not knocking, just curious who decides that.......
