@larsmeier: Keith White does a lot of the Raw100 videos but all of my Sound of Speed videos use sound recorded live on location, except for shots where it wasn't feasible.
Great, now when I watch these all I can see is Eddie Masters jumping on an old mattress ruffling a bag of chips to get the sound. Eliot was pinned though, that was damn good.
@joepax: I'm pretty sure they're taking the piss in that vid. Even if they added a few foley "highlight" sounds I'd wager that 99% of it is real. Way to much effort to do that for the whole vid and all the riding sounds.
If the bike makes that much noise when someone as smooth as Elliot is riding it, I don't want to hear what it sounds like when my fat ass is plowing it through every rock and root on the trail...
Loved it! More of this and more of Eliot riding please. Giant has some incredible riders and I think we see to little of them.
Podiums are great but I wish coverage of the WC DH riders didn’t depend as much on getting a podium. There characters and riding skills are just as, or more, impressive. Plus I want to see incredible DH riding all the time. :-)
I wish I was a fast bike rider. As a child I was really interested in going fast, now as an adult I generally don't even drive fast. The ageing wears on you, and makes you boring, my childhood self would think I sucked.
I have a 2015 glory 2 And its nowhere near this noisy even on far more jagged trails with far less smooth of riding, and no clutch derailleur. Sounds like the pivots need grease, forks need extra shrink wrap and chain is too loose(which may be on purpose because of the Glory's anti squat, but his 275 lb coil should compensate for that, at least it does for me) or perhaps he's running a short cage derailleur for more clearance around the back wheel, either way that's far too noisy for me, and this conspiracy that all the sound is fake must be from ppl who either can't rip corners or took the Wyn masters video too seriously

But no, people want to watch someone ride a flow trail on a 29er
