something that always translates the best in Semenuk's edits versus everyone else is his pure speed guy just lives fast
I don’t know if it’s Dean Lucas in Gypsy Tales he said Brandon Semenuk is so fast he might get top 10 in UCI DH but not sure if it’s Dean Lucas who said it
You got that right
Super Rad. The editing is almost too fancy, the riding speaks for itself.
Agree. There is epic shots between all the spazz edit flickering
This guy just never ceases to amaze the biking world😂 love the halfcab so much....filming is pure art as well....
I love his scrubs so much - just grazing a jump - so much steez, on all he does really.
Funny how "halfcab" is a trick name imported from skateboarding, from its creator Steve Caballero but seems to fit in the mountain biking world, no?

Brandon please, never stop riding, we need your inspiration
I love all of his vids esp. the raw 100s, super nice trails and his riding on point as always, but the editing is so hectic … this without music and 90% less cuts🙏
Came here to say this. Music is fine, the riding is incredible, the shots are great, but f me, I could do without the seizure inducing flash-cuts...
agreed
@@ytidb the music is a distraction. It's unexceptional while the riding is the opposite. I'd rather hear raw, no music at all. Just my opinion, nothing more.
Great edit but I wish there was more raw riding footage! Brandon never disappoints, let’s see a top to bottom run!!!
totally agree
Editing in this is dreadful
I'd suggest two edits or versions. This one, the artistic version. And a second, showing the run in its entirety along with the course. Now "the run," or course may not be anything resembling continuous, but at least show whatever full runs there are to show.
Amazing, for sure, but some may complain about the frenetic editing, which doe miss some of the meat of the amazing ride.
There’s something about his Enders that are always mind blowing but mainly very unexpected and unique
One handed table was a thing of beauty
I think Brandon’s brain works in racing lines. Give him some wheels and a gnarly course and he just knows how to move through it. It’s insane.
Editing looks like someone testing all the effects in Adobe Premiere for the first time, but Brandon killed it as always.
His one shot video is still one of the best videos ever!
Always a treat. So much fun watching all these over the years. Thanks
same to you!
Amazing shaping ideas !!!
I wish i would have an overview of the spot, edit goes to fast for my old eyes😅
the riding is amazing as always but the editing is making me nauseous. The non stop cuts make it difficult to see the trick.
Absolutely my dreams. Brandon' s style is soo unbelievable. I hope more videos like this will come in the near future.
Brandon is the creative master of the sport... almost a mythical figure at this point!
Great riding, but I wish the editing was less frantic. The constant cuts took away from the flow of the riding.
Too much steeze to comprehend.. so much shralping, tire sliding, nose bonking to one handed tabletopping.. I can't wrap my head around this man's skills 🤯
Would be great to have slopestyle comps on courses like this that make use of natural features. I think the Crankworx courses are awesome but something like this would give an interesting twist.
He has basically turned Rampage into exactly this. It's too bad honestly
@@Sck519 why is that a bad thing!?!?
Because I don't think rampage should be a different version of crankworks. There have been a few rampages that Brandon won that were basically a crankworks run and I think other guys had better lines that were more true to rampage. Don't get me wrong Brandon killed it, but I don't think big tricks on perfectly built jumps is rampage.
@@Sck519 evolution of the event..
Plenty of others that are rowdy and natural.. maybe just not in the limelight as Ramage is..
Like natural selection? Travis Rice came up with the snowboard comp. It really was a game changer.
Semenuk is amazing and the riding is awesome. Unfortunately the editor came right from a Jason Bourne movie. Maybe they’ll release a backstage version and I’ll be able to actually watch it.
All the edits mid trick made me nauseous, I couldn't finish it.
I full agree. It's to much of a "music video" and not enough of a riding video, editing wise that is.
This is what happens when the editor and cinematographer are the same person.
Yeah, his RAW 100 series videos are about perfect where the riding speaks for itself / less editing.
It's just the art style of video. I can see every trick just fine. I think the editor and VFX artist pieced the video very well!
That feeling I get everytime I watch something new from this living legend is so inspiring and at the same time mesmerizing! Man! the riding, the cinematography, the editing/postproduction with the sence for all those small details - everything is dialed as usual. A big thank you to everyone involved behind this piece of art!
Agreed!
Tailwhip and half cab were epic but could use 98% less frantic spazzy b-roll edit flashes.
Man those tweeked tables.. tyre tap the huge one handed table 🤤 and that 360 nacnac table 🤯
Just gold. Enough said 🔥
Enough said.
This is 100% PURE GOLD. So grateful for this amazing content on CZcams to awe and inspire.
So deeply artistic all throughout. The build, the edit, the music, the steez. 👏🏻
Brandon's style and creativity is another level in mountain biking. Pure passion as act of athlete and artists.
Epic. Brandon's riding never ceases to inspire. Kudos for filmmaking team for including film footage into the mix!
Some of the most aggressive riding I have ever seen AWESOME!!!
Semenuk's skills aren't in doubt, but the stars here are the production crew. Great filming / editing !
That’s an insane build. Semenuk’s riding was amazing as always.
This was breathtaking! Great job from the king himself and the crew!
So many times I had to rewatch to even comprehend what he just did. Looks like one of the bikes he rides is break less. I love this part. How they can find a new way to do what I thought had already been done. Amazing part I will never be able to not see spots in the world now and wonder what would this crew be able to make out of it.
looks so simple and so stunning! Amaizing!
Pure insanity! The GOAT! Pretty stoked to be alive right now and watch all this as it happens!
One of the best videos I’ve seen and of course Brandon absolutely blowing my mind per usual
Always amazing Brandon, so good!
still THE BOSS in my book!
Would be nice to see more of the trick itself. I love the guy but that was hard to watch with cuts going everywhere.
Behold! 👑 Semenuk
already hyped on this!!!
amazing like always brandon is really the goat
The best thing to watch in hospital to cheer me up 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Saw your comment and just wanted to let you know I said a quick prayer for ya Rhys.. I hope you get back to riding soon!
Killer to see him still putting out edits even as he is transitioning into rally becoming his main sport. Style master!!
His locations and use of the natural landscape are always insane
That video was out of this world. I'm amazed.
That 270 nac just blew my pants o... I mean mind.. 🤯🤯🤯🤯
That was the cleanest flair I have ever seen. All of those tricks were clean!💴
truly awesome.
Absolute 🔥 bro...some amazing building work there too man
Unreal as always
Fantastic!!!
Flawless tech, tons of steeeeeeeeeze, then i love the edit... What else? Thank you for this bomb!
When the edit gets in the way of the riding, back it up.
rocking the Semenuk Etnies to show support!
Love this video. Showing my age here, but it made me nostalgic as the style reminds me of the free MBUK and MBR VHS tapes of the 90s 👍😁
When you think there is nothing left to do... the last one! Wow!
Semunuk just keeps getting better.
props to whomever built these
Simply insane...
This is massive ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥
Unstoppable!!
Insane bike control with the tables/euros in and out of scrubs, and that ender was super committed! 🤘Sick as always 🔥
Obviously his riding is insane, it would be nice to actually see it though. 10billion cuts in a 3 minute video makes it basically unwatchable
Thought the same exact thing.. we don’t need that many angles of the same shot it became super annoying
Well said. My exact thoughts
Yep. Unwatchable wankery.
It's just the art style of video, How can you not see the video, I was able to make out every trick and moment in the video. The editor and vfx artist did great!
Agreed, would love to see some of these tricks from the roll up to the roll away in the same shot
Amazing!
Absolute beauty Wally
Semenuks vid rises the plank! Always a new level
X Games should do more MTB
Great filmmaking skilsssssssss, well done and obviously awesome riding!
thanks for the inspo mate
Brandon always the greatest
still the best Artist in MTB
artist is the proper term for this 🤝
Never disappoints!👌🏻🔥
Bro his tables just No.1 🤘🏻🙈🙈
Brandon, you're an absolute genius!
Brandon Semen from the UK let’s go
Pleasant surprise to see Satchel Cronk in the credits. brilliant job!
That is the best slopestyle edit I have ever seen
thanks i'm now an epileptic hows anyone meant to watch that
wow, AMAZING !!!
That was preety dope.
Don’t know why but I was expecting a reverse backflip/flair off that final rock lol. Great video!
He's too good geeeeeeeeeeeeeez epic edit, always bringing new style
Insane build!
Great title and amazing riding and building!
This is so sick!
Freakin wicked!
Style is everything, amazing edit!
Wonderful!
The skid across the rock @1:00... 😲 and scrubs so clean you could go straight into surgery.
Amazing.
enjoyed this a lot,
be safe everyone
On Point!🤘
Great video love seeing Semenuk rip it up but respect for mr Evan young my trail building icon this is sick wish I could ride it looks fun as❤
Hes still the GOAT, his course builds, jump style, tricks & the way he edits his videos is hands down the best! That was absolutely insane!
you think the ridder edited the video? why? There is a list of credits it says someone named Isaac Wallen did the editing. You think that is false?
@@AlohaMilton yeah I know the Rider* didn't do the editing but it's still his video. Next time I want a keyboard warriors opinion I'll give you a heads up lol 🤦♂️
An action sports video shot with anamorphic lenses?! 😍😍
His builder's build some epic lines for him, which make up 50% of a awesome edit
Expected a dope video. Got what I came for!
Brandon is the GOAT!!!
He is the best
amazing
