    Wow. Stunningly good, Adam.

    A few things I liked: the creative shots like the hand-done crane lift, timing video edits to match the song and mixing between several rides. You’ve got talent man.

    A silly thing, it made me laugh to see how short your handlebars look with the fisheye lens – like you’re on a hipster fixie bike.

    the thought of riding any sort of bike after the Gauntlet Supreme last Friday has made me wretch.

    the thought of riding dirt after watching this video has me excited again.

    great compilation – nice work.

    nicely done as usual. You need to come grab the footage I took and see how it looks.

    I’ve seen a lot of amateur MTB/ski videos overlaid with an alternative music track to suit the producer’s taste. Can’t think of too many, if any at all, I’ve seen done this well. Nice work.

    Man I love Phish. And I love riding bikes. Gonna go listen to that album now. And then get my bike ready to ride in the morning.

    Thanks guys.

    Mark, in defense of my former life, I’m not exactly an amateur. ;) But I appreciate the compliment.
