Fabien Barel presents S2E5 - The mental edge of enduro

Fabien Barel brings a new style to this 5th and final episode in his Fabien Barel Presents series. For the first time, we join Fab and Jey at a competition, at the Enduro World Series in Colorado. But instead of watching the race, we look through a rarely opened window into the heart, mind, and soul of these athletes.

That was probably the worst video i've seen on pb... probably like 0.8 seconds of riding thanks alot... cannondale crack and fail

Bogumil1202247 (Oct 31, 2013 at 3:07) (Below Threshold)

100% agree, this VOD is even worse than this VOD : www.pinkbike.com/video/333533
Maybe new days rules are different and the most boring videos are VODs

Soon on PINKBIKE : www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFmRBXvVE7A

I don't know I'm on vélorose.com

josh090 (Oct 31, 2013 at 5:03)

and the .8 seconds of riding showed the same line twice.. with the same slow motion parts

samtomkins (Oct 31, 2013 at 8:05)

@Bogumil definatley worse than the kona love thing. The kona love thing was super cheesy and weird but it wasn't even bad, I kinda liked it... This on the other hand...

01:23...shop mannequin?

someguy101 (Oct 31, 2013 at 15:27)

This video was playing way to quick for me. They should slow it down some more. "sarcasm off"

dh-andy (Oct 31, 2013 at 15:27)

Pinkbike really needs to make better decisions on the POD/VOD, if the video isn't up to the standards, people just start criticizing it in every way possible. When the people involved in the making of the videos or pictures were not wanting it to be classed as the best Picture of the day etc. Just something that should be taken into consideration.

bigandybikes (Oct 31, 2013 at 16:17)

Maybe they put a boring VOD today so that tomorrow's will be epic?

foreverforum260 (Oct 31, 2013 at 17:33)

Its all advertising...

rigodon777 (Oct 31, 2013 at 22:05)

And that wasn't even enduro racing. They simply took the chairlift up and took a run in the bike park..

Quesadilla34 (Oct 31, 2013 at 22:46)

Hahahshs, bogumil, i instantly knew u were right abt that vid, because it stated with the words KONA. Despite that i stuck it out and was rewarded with an admitedly really cool little frog shot, and then further depressed with the images of konas that werent carbon opperators

flowyridestilltherestofmylife (Oct 31, 2013 at 23:00)

The worst video with Fabien in it.

Quesadilla34 (Oct 31, 2013 at 23:04)

Im sure the off camera was much better

rippin-norco (Oct 31, 2013 at 0:02)

sure, I guess it's a cool video and all, but not VOD worthy at all. Come on pinkbike.

adwamski (Oct 31, 2013 at 5:57)

Its not all roosting, slashing, whips and flips guys, there is a certain something that separates the likes of Barel & Clemens from us mere mortals, its the mindset, that's why they are where they are and we are where we are. Let up with the hate. It was in the title "But instead of watching the race, we look through a rarely opened window into the heart, mind, and soul of these athletes."

downhilladdict (Oct 31, 2013 at 15:05)

So put it on the news feed. Not VOD

Quesadilla34 (Oct 31, 2013 at 22:50)

Testify! And sweet name addict, it sums up mtb in a word. Sorry adam, dhaddidt is right, though yes, they are amazing, this vid just didnt belong here

teedubya (Oct 31, 2013 at 0:22)

I'd rather watch this where you don't get too much riding but see the mindset of a top racer,rather than that vomit inducing 'love story on bikes' Kona commercial that made VOD last week.That was cheesier than a teenage tramp's knob.

Am I the only one who finds the Kona video hilarious?

Rambo387 (Oct 31, 2013 at 7:56)

The Kona video genually made me happy! Everybody was on a bike and loving life.

I guess they can't nail me all and it will always go back to " you can't make everyone happy" but ya this one was tough.

Quesadilla34 (Oct 31, 2013 at 23:07)

I liked the froggies! Haha, that shot was joyfull, but then the konas came back into shot and the frogs dissapeared, darn

Shredder-boy (Oct 31, 2013 at 2:34)

I was hoping some sick Halloween edit to be VOD today!

DMCM (Oct 31, 2013 at 4:17)

pretty spooky passenger in the chairlift behind clementz at 1:26..

b824 (Oct 31, 2013 at 7:02)

I think they needed to put some more slow motion shots that didn't involve someone on their bike in the edit, there wasn't near enough of those

Quesadilla34 (Oct 31, 2013 at 22:43)

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Forsure, it effectively showed me that the mental aspect is far superior to the riding aspect of RIDING

greguar (Oct 31, 2013 at 1:18)

That was ridiculously lame....

tommyboy250 (Oct 31, 2013 at 17:30)

Looks like the 3 minutes I spent reading all these negative comments was better spent than if I had watched the video. Not even going to check it out.

notthatfast (Oct 31, 2013 at 8:14)

Well that was super duper boring

freeride-maverick (Oct 31, 2013 at 5:34)

rally don't know whats been going on with the VOD'S recently.... poor effort today though... nice enough video, but no way worthy of being VOD

sampo18 (Oct 31, 2013 at 5:40)

well if your going to advertise a brand on vod you might as well make it a good video to watch>!!?!??!?

guigui333 (Oct 31, 2013 at 0:41)

didnt even finished it....

HaggartyProductions (Oct 31, 2013 at 17:25)

Can you ride a little more next time?

nico31 (Oct 31, 2013 at 16:16)

All ways the video need a fucking dramatic moment!!!!!!!

nickmaldonado (Oct 31, 2013 at 4:53)

Since when are enduro riders hitting like 10-15' step-downs and doubles?

mick996 (Oct 31, 2013 at 4:38)

Not worthy.

poah (Oct 31, 2013 at 2:19)

well that's almost 5 minutes of my life I'll not get back

Stopid (Oct 31, 2013 at 0:06)

Poo vod

behindthebars (Oct 31, 2013 at 17:34)

wow, enjoyed that 15 seconds of riding we saw

pray4snow (Oct 31, 2013 at 11:58)
