 great to finally see some people who agree with me. it's absolutely outrageous looking, it must take a lot of cash to get the riders into those suits.

 I think the stutters are making a comeback, I've seen them in a few vids of late, and they were used in the Canadian Open this year at Whistler right before Hecklers Rock. They are nasty! But I reckon if you can make them looks as smooth as Brandon did just now you're a pretty dam flowy rider. I wouldn't mind betting with the full race kit (and possibly a TLD sponsorship, if he isn't already) and training on more DH style stuff, he might be working his way toward some racing for next season maybe a world cup or something? I think there have been a few of the freeriders crossing over this season. He may have even raced at the world champs or a few others may have this year? I can't remember exactly but I'm sure someone out in pinkbike land could tell us?

edit: and those whips are friggin awesome, especially the one that is thrown against the flow of the hip at 3:13.

 Sick video!
Original lines! Those whoops is not something you see everyday I liked it a lot. And the riding itself was really clean. I don't like when riders try to do as many tricks as they can in a video I like when a rider rides something clean and has great style. I think doing a trick with style is far more impressive than doing harder tricks and not have any style..

Good job Brandon!

Those aren't braking bumps, it's a whoop section. They're mostly a supercross thing and isn't usually intentionally built in the world of biking.

  • + 1
flag newworlddisorder (Nov 19, 2010 at 18:39)
 Maxeponken: Why are you chirpin' GrantR? What he said made perfect sense, one of the guys from trek probably came up with the idea of a whoop section to show how well the bike takes it. They most likely asked Brandon if he could somehow incorporate it into his trail, and knowing what Brandon's like he probably just said something like "yeah, sure lets go for it i guess"
