Wow, that was absolutely awesome. Trails look sick and I just want to go ride them! That was an epic whip over the bank was insane.

When you're THAT good at doing something, you take the risk of making it look easy. I had to watch that twice to comprehend what he did.

oldfaith (Nov 9, 2011 at 13:11)

agreed! like gwin looks slow compared to other riders. Evan was absolutly railing those berms, perfection!

Gil Scott-Heron, very little slow motion, good colours, and an amazing scrub thing. Thanks guys, this was awesome.

I love his style, so smooth yet so dominating, that whip near the end over the embankment was so Steezy.

Worm-Burner (Nov 9, 2011 at 0:48)

I'm glad they bought it down to earth showing the stack otherwise I'd be scared he'd be coming through my letterbox...

mountaingrrrl (Nov 9, 2011 at 10:12)

Wicked, makes me want to go ride..except for the snow here....but is it just me or are other people sick of seeing the truck ride, breakfast and all that preride stuff, i mean everybody does it so who really cares

johnkoz (Nov 9, 2011 at 10:19)

I dunno, it worked in this edit. I thought the truck driving was kinda cool with the background music.

The breakfast scenes on the other hand... never want to see another one of those.

DownhillDomination (Nov 9, 2011 at 11:53)

Great edit, disliked the music but that's just my personal preference.
Also, PLEASE, pull the focus with the rider. It looks so rookie having the rider in focus for half a second of a shot.

adanac14 (Nov 9, 2011 at 12:58)

Definitely doesn't look rookie to have something come in and out of a focal plane. I'm pretty sure these dudes have a pretty good handle on what they're doing, and also if you look, there are quite a few dialled focus pulls throughout the video. I also just watched a few of your videos to see how it should be done and found quite a few locked focus shots... kind of a strange comment :S

DownhillDomination (Nov 9, 2011 at 21:31)

I saw more shots without than with.

adanac14 (Nov 9, 2011 at 22:11)

I'm not sure what your background is, I notice you've been tootin' your own horn pretty good in some other comments I've seen, i.e.

"Obviously you aren't aware that I have some highly acclaimed video work filming some of the best up and coming junior riders in Australia."

According to you it sounds like you know alot about what you're talking about, but to me it sounds similar to that scene in "Good Will Hunting" when that student at the bar tries to impress the girl with the stuff he just learned in class the day before. It's like someone who just learned what a video pan is instantly complaining about every locked off shots because following the rider is way cooler! It's not that I don't agree that focus pulls are cool, but variety is better.
Mix it up homie! Your videos will look better as a result. I would also recommend toning down the ego a bit if you want some real respect as a filmer. You don't go around telling people how good you are, you earn it. Good luck.
