Sick video and rad footage. Those guys in the vid have way more talent than I will ever have and the fork footage was sweet. My only complaint however, is that most of the footage seemed to be sped up a little bit. Like with skiing footage, MTB footage looks a lot slower on video than it "feels" when riding, but I would like to see this at a regular rate. Those guys' riding talent should speak for itself without any slick editing.

On a side note:

The gentleman (Tom Guilmette) who filmed the MTB video linked above from attitash has posted some other amazing HD quality movies on Vimeo.com.....

Of these movies, this one explains alot....

Hopefully you have the technology to view these movies as they were meant to be viewed.

He was on a Banshee Morphine I think. Looks like the rental bikes are Sinister R9s (sweet), but in gerneral, I really don't dig the DH thing. I love descending, but I love the climbing too. Same as skiing.

A few of my friends are in that movie. It was meant as a quick promo for Attitash, rental bikes are not R9's. It's too bad that they over did it on the sped-up footage but it is still pretty good overall. Fun trails.

My bad. Thought I saw an R9's integrated fork bumpers in a rack of rentals. What are the rental bikes?

They have Ironhorse bikes, I can't recall the name but I think it was the Kumicho or something along those lines... unless something has changed since I was last there which is entirely possible.
