awesome vid! VOD
I am not liking this at all. I am not even gonna bother watching the whole thing...the intro is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to long and oyu definately need a tri-pod.
Also, dont ever use musice from other professional mountain bike films, as you did with the third song which comes out of Seasons, it brings down your vid.
third song is not seasons if you count third song as glentress its only one by the sessions, in seasons there is 18 candles and my love by the sessions sooo WAAAY!!!
iride89 seasons do not own that song, other people can use it if they want, it wont bring down their video, if its a good song and flows with the riding, it will made in better, in which it does
dude your a tard, they only used 2 The Sessions songs from seasons! The song in this vid is by The Sessions but is different, so your dumb - f*ggit
no sorry to burst your bubble seasons did use that song in one of the bonus sections, never mind its a sick video but add a tripod to your christmas list and it would be proffesional.
ive got a tripod, but im not taking it up a hill with a bike, its like impossible 'cause then i cant ride back down again 
next season im going to do some filming without my bike

well i thought it was great!
i think those who diss are envious of you talent!
maybe the length put some people of as they may be too lazy to watch it all
but i did and rely enjoyed it,
another point that could be improved is maybe a variety of music? maybe try to find a certain song for each shoot or location??
other than that WELL DONE!!
ignore the nasty people and dont let them put you off!!

its well put together but its not exactly inpirational. there could be much better showcases of scottish riding but good effort anyone from all involved.

Now I know Scotland has to offer two great things....Bikes and Braveheart.
Very well put together, I really enjoyed it.

While obviously not pro quality(in the riding and in the filming/editing) it's better than lots of other novice vids I've seen. Only thing I can really say right off the top of my head is to try and make the 'segments' flow better... less weird pauses with only black, try and fade music into more music instead of just fading out then starting more music.
and also if someone can provide a music playlist that would be sweet. there's a couple cool tunes in here.

didn't exactly scream vod, but i give it 7/10, as unhallowed said try to work on making the diff sections flow together. but over all good vid.
its only good because im in it 
haha

u guys are harsh! i thought it was pretty sweet for a first vid. gotta start somewhere right? props to you guys and the scottish scene!
Good effort for a first longer video, but I'd say you should maybe put a bit more variety in, especially at glentress because there are so many better trails at glentress than the freeride! like some of the descents on the black are pretty good. If you dont beleive me I'll post a vid up when I have a bike other than my xc bike...
gd effort editing was gd but i feel the vid is let down by slow riders and lack of a tri pod. I think you also dragged sections out to long I kept getting board with the same riders hitting the same section so slow... the only bits i felt were gd where a few of the road gaps... not because I love road gaps (I'm a DH racer) but because there were ridden well.. i seriously hope these aren't the best amateur riders Scotland has...
Way to be an ass lewss, if you don't have anything good to say then shut up. Fair enough for being honest and explaining your opinion but you totally ruin that with last comment. Maybe not everyone in this vid slow when they're racing, but OH, this isn't a racing video.
This is whitetux 1st long vid and I say it's damn good attempt, good job!

OK this was the most painful movie to watch all the way through although you did finally start using a tripod and there were some good shots the movie was 3 times too long because watching the same angle on each rider 3 to 5 times over at each location is just f*cking bad like come on seriously its good riding some of it and it was just being killed by whoever edited it like it was painful. my next big problem with this movie is once again dragging it on but making you and the riders look bad at the same time cause to me it just looked like you were trying to use every minute of film you took. Like the casing, the landings to flat, the rear wheel first when you could see the rider didn't want to land like that, the tabling and hipping and whipping in the wrong direction in terms of the landing or the corner after that landing and everyone has done it in their life it happens but why did you not edit it out and save the rider and the viewer of having to watch that. it could have been good but it was a far cry from good.
i did mean to land on my back wheel at 550.0 because i was trying to drop to manuel but it obviously didnt work and i think ur comment was a little harsh . i know its ur own oppinion but still . He probably knows himself it could have been improved but its his first longer video and i think it was a pretty good attempt .
pritty good video bit to long though but it was class

pretty good for some normal riders!!not as bad as all these tossers are saying they just want to see hucking but the song choice was a little unispired(just my opinion i am sure others would luv it!!!!)good job!!!

I thought it was pretty dammed good.
And 0 Props to all your harsh comments. Pink Bike isn't about professional work at all, that's not the spirit of it in the slightest. It's about people out having fun doing something they love.
And the complaints about it being too long? That just says to me, "Short attention span."

Did not enjoy this at all and, couldnt get to the finish. This vid needs to have better riding, better filming and better editing poor show!
hm yes a shaky camera and pathetic angles, and riding, dosent spell sick then i dont know what does. haha
I liked the stuff close to the end, faster downhill parts. I could have done without the first 10 mins or so though.
awesome video, I wish I had my bike up and running and more daylight to shoot a new video, mad props
Some of you 13 year old full gnar superpartyrockstars need to give people a break. They can only get better, right?
