Don’t get me wrong – I think Jordie is an utterly incredible rider. What he does is insane and the progression in the sport over the past ten years, pushed by riders like Jordie, is amazing. But I just don’t get excited by man-does-jump videos anymore.

I was watching AF2 just thinking ‘that would be an incredible still shot’ over and over again. Give me kiss-me-quick, one frame of fame. Something to put on the wall. But as a movie? Meh.

Am I right? Am I wrong? Am I otherwise engaged?

Who?

Thanks for letting us know. There are more videos on YouTube than you’ll ever be able to watch, you’ll probably find something to suit your taste.

I agree after all the hype I thought it was boring.

Don’t mention it.

Its a bit like porn.
Eons a go we’d all get our kicks from a little errant fuzz in the bikini section of the littlewoods catalgoue. Now one cant get a raging boner without three midgets, nipple clamps all round and enough hosing man-goo to drown a sperm whale.

I would imagine.

Why not include a link to the Video you are talking about?
Rather than presume everyone has seen it.

I like the massive 45 degree,2 ft wide,50ft high ladder bridge to kicker thing.
That he goes pfft off the end to jump about 4ft.
That’s my favorite bit.
PB gives it mad props.
Which is nice.

He’s got far bigger balls than all mine put together but…jump jump jump jump etc = dull.
& the soundtrack was crap. (IMO)

It’s better than a “Slice of British Pie” which appears to be a series of blokes tackling “a corner” with accompanying blokes shouting “yaaaahhh” or “Ooooohhhhh” depending if they make it – round a corner…gripping stufff

😆 Cracking analogy. It’s a far cry from the thrill of the discovery of an illicit trailside stash.

It’s the one on the front page.

And I think you deserve the thrill of the hunt. 😉

Lol at stoner!

The snakes gone in the snake hole .

The riding is amazing but, as usual, I find slo-mo incredibly boring.

Great riding in the video, I’ve never been hugely into the dirt jumping stuff though even when he collective or seasons were new!

I find the trail riding stuff is my equivalent of stoners S&M midget porn fix…….

This had enough midgets and nipple clamps for me:
Going nuts on the la nuts

I kind of find myself agreeing. Very impressive but the constant camera angle cuts and slow mo just turns me right off.

I love stuff like this, really makes me want to ride my bike! (Though I’ll be slower, and crash more)

I’m not much into the jump videos either but he does have some big cojones. That Mike Hopkins edit is pretty darn good.

Better off with the sweary northerners….

Agreed, I struggle with the overt radness of this and 5010 stuff, the cowabunga culture videos segments have never done it for me!! 😆 😆 😆

I’m missing some Sweary Northerners vids. – I always enjoy them because it’s the sort of riding that I most like to do.
The fact that most of the time they’re better than me seems to make it even cooler.

Nope…I found it very dull and only manged to watch the first third…
The guy has serious skills but that just isn’t interesting.

I think they’re great vids, they make me want to ride my bike.

There needs to be an stw “edit”, with some middle aged, mildly overweight, middle class mincers turning up with their audis and santa cruzes, then mincing round a red route, complaining about their tyres not being up to the job before abandoning down an escape route for a coffee and to start a tyre thread on here.

Yes to more sweaty northerners.

While muttering about the state of the government and checking emails on their iPhones?

I love the action and genuinely feel goosebumps looking at it. But the video could have been one third the length and lost nothing. Still a lot better than most of the videos on the homepage from Fort William though. And the photo galleries were pants. I Just go to Pinkbike now.
