His problem is he's trying too hard.

At least he's wearing the correct head attire for the xc loop,just think he needs to lower his head and drop his shoulders abit and he'll be looking good ?

I think the issue is that the camera foreshortens the slopes, that's clearly much steeper than it looks. If he let his saddle down a bit he'd be fine.

What's the song?

That video is nothing but win. Four wondrous minutes of thrills, spills, and hi-vis clothing. Loved it.

pretty genuine - fairhust is a real tryer but not overly good. His Ibis is in the shop have yumeya bits fitted so he was borrowing my old Marin, tyres may be a bit beyond it but hey ho.

I'm assuming the op was after some genuine advice and what I can add that IMHO there is one major issue that needs some attention. Ir is that the rider in question is riding without any gloves or similar hand protection. If the rider in question was to have a tumble or fall he could scratch his hands, and this along with the associated blood loss could lead to a significant injury. I think what this demonstrates is that there are some riders out there who don't take their health and well being seriously enough. In addition, un-gloved hands could cause injury to other riders in the event of the "friend" having any riding buddies of the same standard to ride with and if there was any kind of coming together or altercation. I hope this demonstrates the need to take health and safety seriously - remember it's tough out there

This is how all you riders that post dreadfully boring and slow headcam footage look like when you're riding.

PSA -

People who find this 'genius' or 'top drawer comedy' DO NOT watch 'You've Been Framed' you might die laughing.

Seriously, it's not funny in the slightest.

Ouch.

If the video had built up our preconceptions, in this case the rider is a 'noob' which were then destroyed, by say him ragging it past someone in full body armour with the latest DH bike and kit it [i]may[/i] have been funny.

The more I watch it the more I get it and the funnier it is.

You've literally covered all the singletrack world "pet hates" that supposedly none of us do cos we're riding gods.

parachute helmet - tick
riding around puddles - tick
sitting down - tick
attempting to brake in corners - tick
centre of feet on pedals - tick
supermarket rain coat - tick
cutting off the top of head when taking video/pictures - tick

🙂

The crossing the road bit at the start is probably the best as its just so random.

Should of had bar ends and Risers though !!!

Truth hurts. My mate took a video of me being Rad on a piece of singletrack near here. At the time we were both well chuffed with the video and thought it'd be cool on-line as a prime example of mountainbiking. Oh dear. Once posted it was worse than the OP video by a long, long way; the only difference being the clothing.... but even then my 1990's purple top gave the game away.

The video is too close to the bone for some I fear.

Someone has a very dry sense of humour, and is obviously a regular on STW.

Although I didn't find it LOLZ funny, I can appreciate the humour.

Having had a few minutes to digest the video and read through the responses here I think most people are getting it wrong.

This guy is a comedy genius, should make more videos, and we should support him enmasse with followers and suggestions for future videos and turn him into an internet meme.

That is all.
