Freeride mountain biking has a few different proving grounds dictated by extreme terrain and rider creativity. Utah might be the most legendary of them all. For the last 25 years riders have been making this pilgrimage to prove what they are capable of creating, this is a path Brandon has walked many times. Always seeking a new edge, a new way to express himself, Brandon has relied on Utah as a partner in this journey, and the results always left us wondering what more there is to find out there in the mesas.

Show that to anyone, even a non-biking friend/relative, and they can see why the sport could be appealing. Its hard not to want to ride a bike after watching that one.
And I agree that there are a lot of edits that are just far too frantic/cutting all the time, and I also find that distracting.
I thought this one was good. Not as good as "One Shot", but still good.
This one is good too though. The editing was fine.
Complain all you want about certain riders/events/brands not being "core" enough but more videos like that are what we need.
But I know that riding and filming was insane. Love the bar drag of all things.
Turns out Trek build him a SESH -- half Slash half Session
Badass

I mean if we all buy his stuff we will ride like him right...
That drop at the end was pretty beast. Love his edits. Always so dialed.
This current generation literally grew up watching them.
Calling them not as talented is a bit foolish or at the very least naive.
It's like saying this current generation of snowboarders has more talent than White did because they can do tricks he didn't. Or skaters have more talent than Tony had because they can do things he worked a life time on by the time they're 11 years old. Talent isn't the issue. It's just progression.

Maybe you don't understand what it takes to ride like Semenuk?
Semenuk makes hard look easy, but it's quite the opposite.
Semenuk is an amazing artist, probably one of the finest riders of our generation.
