VolatileVisions has posted this beauty on YouTube with the following note:
Footage taken during Saturday practice day from the 2008 UCI Mountainbike World Cup, Mt Stromlo Canberra. Music courtesy of Anime Fire.
It’s really, really, beautifully done with that lovely vignette effect in the first half made famous by Top Gear.
The choice of editing effects are amateur and rather annoying. First minute seems like someone is forcing your to constantly blink.
Agree, that blinking effect is bloody annoying.
Gotta love the footage (in the middle of the clip) of the riders going down the rock garden – they make it look so easy.
Can’t wait for the World Championships at Stromlo in August, as they will be even bigger!
