TractionMag has a post about the new Mutiny video. In HD it looks really good, I just wish they could make mtb videos look that good.
You've never heard of Slayer?love the tunes too. neutral milk hotel I got but the rest were new to me.

I kinda disagree with your opinion that BMX guys are so much more into the art ..etc ... For the longest time, bmx movies produced by even the bigger co's have been super low budget, simple edited movies (packed with a ton of footage...a good thing.) MTB movies have been "artsy" for quite some time. Look at the NWD series, the collective, etc. Theres stuff in those movies that was way ahead of BMX stuff. They were shooting in 16mm, zip lines, etc. Just recently in the last year or 2 have we seen bmx movies come out with production value in mind (hd, rolling cams, steady cams, etc.)Screw the middle man, go right to the source: http://mutinybikes.com/web-video-2008.html
That video is a real good example of the differences between MTB and BMX. The BMX guys are so much more into the art of it all. The amount of effort put into that video vastly exceeds any MTB webvid. BMXers just seem more able to think for themselves, and enjoy their sport for what it is, not what it "could be."
I think that there is a larger amount of younger riders in the bmx "scene" than freeride and downhill mountain biking. With a younger age group you get alot of kids with an interest in video production and or art school. More attention gets put to the video aspect, as it is much more convenient to travel around town with a hd camera in your bag as opposed to the mountain. We have seen some of these things like steady cam work and rolling cams in mtb films but it has been pretty new and still not as widely used. I like both genres of flicks for what they are but there is def a difference.I kinda disagree with your opinion that BMX guys are so much more into the art ..etc ...

Dont get me wrong, I'd prefer to watch an old bmx movie packed with tons of footage thats not slow mo-ed to hell and back. They are usually more progressive. All i'm sayin is with MTB videos where they lack in amount of content, they usually try to give good production value. Just my $.02
The new lakai video fully flared is completely bonkers. The intro sequence alone is a thing of beauty.Revolve: Can you list out a couple contemporary skate vids that illustrate what you're talking about? I'd love to check them out, but I've been out of the skate world for 12 years and wouldn't know where to start besides the Blind video 1 and Yeah Right.
yeah like man to 10 stair 180, than was dang!stuff got really large towards the end of that Mutiny vid.
Mutiny is filming with DXV200 .
Word. Case in point:But those are 20 minute to 1 hour setups. Those guys from the collective build scaffolding and setup ziplines that take days to coordinate for ONE shot. I think it shows.

Wait till you see some of the shots that zankers got for dusk till dirt with his steadicam. You're going to go poopy.(or steadicam even) are tough or impossible to put together due to the trees/rocks and the speed of the riders.
to bad there hasnt been an update since the first one came outWait till you see some of the shots that zankers got for dusk till dirt with his steadicam. You're going to go poopy.
I disagree. I recently watched NWD 8, and I skipped Lenosky's section becuase it sucked so much, it was terrible. Barel's section on the other hand was rad. The only steet stuff for MTB that I've seen that I liked was Tough as Hell and maybe a clip or two on the internet. I guess it's all personal preference, but everyone has their own style and tastes. For example, Kidwoo's videos are tits. I love em' becuase they're so chill (and I love Janes Addiction).but urban 26" has riding-centered problems that a camera can't solve.
