Kovarik in Whistler

[S.]

By far the best 2 mins of riding footage I've seen this year:

Those fireroads have seriously sharp drops at the edges.... run wide and you're in BIG trouble!

[Dozer]

Hooley dooley, those lines look puny when he is riding it that fast!

 

[MJS]

Awesome little vid, crazy drifts !

 

[Morgan123]

Awesome footage but unbearable music, what is wrong with the americans/canadians!

So glad that it's not filmed with sweeping scenery shots or 'a day in the life of' bullshit. And some actual panning. Any hipster can sit with a tree in view, with the camera oof.

This reminds me of Plush 2 and the section in chainsmoke 2.

Piss off, that is some of the best fitting music I've seen in a riding vid lately! So glad they moved away from the current trend of dubstep or dance music. Kovarik is Aussie so I don't see anythign wrong with Americans/Canadians?

Truly rad vid and rad bloke. Some crazy moves there.

this is the first dh/freeride video ive enjoyed watching in a long time. all of the dh videos seem the same to me with the same generic music (glitch mob..), this was a great change!

Lamb of God is mostly just angry generic screamy metal but that particular song (Redneck) is brilliant.

Anyone who's been to Whistler understands just how sharp the edges of those fireroads are... fuck up just one of those drifts and you're hospitalised at the very least!

i was sitting at the bottom of the fireroad after unamoss, he was flying. sounded like a freight train coming down the hill, fully tucked and pedalling. mental.

As for the music debate.
The music will change the edit. The glitch mob style will allow for more slow mo. and stuff like that.
But the heavier stuff will allow for a fast flowing, Insane clip.
So in this case. The music does suit this edit.
And that makes it way better.
