Looks sick!!!!
Seems like a quick way down.
Any more footage than just that in the film?

You left out the road gap.
Right you are. I added it to it and changed the link. Its all there now.
np. When I first watched the movie, I thought it was the road gap but the angle they shot him threw me off. Because of the other footage in between the upper/lower waterfall section.
poor little Nomad. Never even knew what hit it.
Too bad they didn't get to film for 2 days there instead of just 1 mechanical filled one.

dangit! why have i still not made it to WR yet?!! next season for sure.
That was the whole reason they used the Nomad. He wanted the trail to look really rough. He wasn't going as fast as you might think. He could have gone a lot faster on a DH bike, but they told me that big bikes hide too much of the trail. So like the shot of him coming out of the water fall looks burly because it was almost too much for the Nomad, not neccessarily because he was going fast. Not knocking his skill (cuz you know he's got it), but I was suprised how not-fast he was going.
That is awesome! Seeing him boost off the rock in the upper section is sick - compared to how I just kind of pop over it

Did he just session that section of trail all day or did they ride more of the trails. I always though that if someone with a really good camera filmed from where you drop into the first road crossing to the step up jump, it would look pretty cool. Obviuosly, it would need to be cut a couple of times since you can't see the step down and gap from the clearing just before the rock garden into the second road crossing.

Yeah, seeing that makes me want to launch that rather than racer-boy suck it up.That is awesome! Seeing him boost off the rock in the upper section is sick - compared to how I just kind of pop over it
Too late, word is getting out about your place Joey. Thats the word around the campfire anyway.
It was almost the most painful riding I've done. It was so slow, lacked flow, and boring. It took him all day to get to the road gap via trail 1.
Filming for those movies isn't about riding. It is about light and angles. It killed me to not hit sections at full speed, but we always just rolled in and were at about 1/2 speed by the time we went in front of the camera.
Plus the camera man was sooo Canadian and not much of an outdoorsman. It was really freaked about ticks.

I was thinking the same exact thing..............
But after watching the clip........makes that rock seem much more "boostable" now.
big difference between watching a video and setting up to do the same as you're negotiating the knife edge line through the rocks leading up to it.
Funny you mention that aspect of filming since I just read the article in the latest Decline on Schley and him saying the same thing. He said "8 pedal strokes and push back up".It was almost the most painful riding I've done. It was so slow, lacked flow, and boring. It took him all day to get to the road gap via trail 1.

As for the cameraman...you didn't mention the words "poison ivy" to him did you? I've ridden Windrock all day and not even fall once, covered head to toe in body armor....get home and be tagged with that stuff!
