I didn't make the video so I can't say for sure if any of it is sped up. It looks like real time to me.

Amazing thing is that is trail is at 9500' above sea level. That kid is in awesome shape to be pedaling like that!

Best part is that kid is running a Glory with Deemaxs and DH32s front and back. The bike is am absolute tank! At least 45+ lbs. No need for a light bike.

That trails is so much fun. On the one day I was there this summer, I rode it listening to slayer for my last run. I was hauling ass (I think).

Killer video but definitely sped up in some parts.

In my opinion.

Personally I don't think any of it was sped up. You'll notice it was mostly shot low angle and even on straightaways it wasn't pointed straight down them, rather diagonal to let him ride across frame instead of down it.
I'm usually the first person to sound off about speeding up footage (search for my posts on Clay Porter's non-Yeti videos) but I think this one is the real deal.

Great video, nice riding. Is it just me or does everyone else think they gotta make that table at the end bigger. I found myself overshooting the crap out of it everytime unless i grabbed my brakes after the stepdown.

agreed.. first table isn't bad, but could be a tad longer, second one is very short

Well, unless they had 30+ cameras, it was more than one shot. Allowing him to be riding every section at full speed. Maybe he can do that anyways, but it's def not sped up. Look at the gondola, the plants, and the way he comes off the drops. Def real time.

Ya its definitely not sped up.. I met that guy when I was up in mammoth last summer and he is really fast. He's an instructor up there I think. He was at the race the day they rode Shotgun and got 1st or 2nd.

The riding is at real time. The rider is Brian Enciso, he is a local Mammoth rider and he is plenty fast enough not to need to try and trick anyone with camera magic. Thanks for the compliments on the riding, he'll be stoked. And I appreciate the feedback on the footage. More even better stuff coming next season, keep riding till then.

sometimes just compressing the vids into a final file makes them appear sped up. friend of mine always had a problem with that. i have to admit sometihng looks a little funky to me in some of those shots, but i dont blame the editor, usually just computer issues.

Nice work on the video. It really shows the speed of velocity. I was out riding the park the days when this was being shot, so its cool to see the end result.

Sweet video, looks like a LOT of work getting all of those shots, must have been fun pushing up sections all day. You missed the best part of the trail though, where's the footage of upper velocity. Good work.

Just to second, third, fourth and eighteenth what everyone else has already said; really enjoyed that, thought it was really well filmed and put together, keep it up!
