Sikk edit’s, bra.

Well the first one had all the compulsory elements required for a “sick edit” but the Cotic one is a better film. Some lovely riding there.

What’s wrong with full sus videos? Are you trying to justify a recent hardtail purchase?

^ says the man that just bought a new FS 😉 lol

Now’t wrong with a full suss edit, its just the hardtail one’s are fewer and far between! I bought a bfe in April and its needs no justification, but we all need a little inspiration now and again!

Fair do’s. I do have a hardtail too, and love it so carry on

Ratboy and peaty riding chameleons

Not entirely convinced about the video style, but totally convinced about the bike!
Stanton Switchback

thumbs up andsyredmini, and agree jontykint!

Love this one with the scenery, the scrunchy gravel sounds and a pint afterwards:

I always thought this was a nice little hardtail vid.

There’s an (imho, of course) even better video of Steve riding a hardtail… probably an Orange as its years old. Dammit, going to have to find it now! May have been on an old DVD.

This has been around for a few years, but still one of my favorites,

The video techniques are a bit dated

The Switchback video makes my eyes hurt. Nice riding, but shot the editor.

The Cotic 26 Ain’t Dead is definitely a favourite.

Off to youtube to search for more.

Then there’s this one..

Italy holds a special place in my heart, the views are stunning. In fact I wish I was there, going there..

That last whistler one has some amazing riding in, I think its’s the same guy as is in the Chromag trail boss film too.

Trail Boss is one of the best but this one is crazy…Bikepark Châtel pre-opening

The original Stanton Slackline video (made me want, and later buy, one);

(hard to believe the horrific Switchback video is from the same bike company).

Was it this by any chance?

Earthed 3 – hardtails rule section starting out at Delamere forest with Steve Peat and Nigel Page? Pretty much wore out this dvd when it came out…

Was it this by any chance?

Yup – pretty sure that’s it! I recall Steve being on a dayglo bike.

Kitsch

this word should never be used to describe riding bikes. FFS!

Love this one http://vimeo.com/m/54099656 despite owning a ti slackline I still lust after a Shan in this colour.

That Shan one above, and this Ultramontane vid, which makes me want to go night riding inthe snow.

Keeping it real on the autumnal tip yo!

I do like the Ultramontane one too 🙂

I rather like this one. I’m not sure it’s an “edit” as such though.

🙂

That trailboss vid almost, almost makes me wanna put a suspension fork on my Soul..

My fav but then I’m biased!

Those Chromag guys certainly know how to put a good edit together…

I’ve obviously got nothing else better to do…

another vote for the ultramontane and chromag edits

I really like this one too http://vimeo.com/8597556

That Dave Flynn has an understanding other half. I’m never be let back in house after a ride. I have to strip down to my liners.. Nice to ride in the snow.. It’s been a few years.

Love this one.

quite a few snow ride edits on this thread.

asbrooks – not a strip down outside in the cold I hope!

Hopefully some snow this winter. I had one mega ride year before last when we were getting snow nearly every weekend up to about April or something. It was all powdery giving loads of grip. Fun times
