I can respect that - I am curious though, above you state that the trailer "did not make me want to see the movie at all". Is it reasonable to assume that you haven't watched the movie in it's entirety before or since you posted that? The reason I ask is because the trailer really isn't much of an indication of the video's quality, in fact, the song in the trailer that has provoked such scorn isn't even found in the video (which I agree is a good thing). My intent wasn't to bash those of you who have different tastes, it just troubles me to see someone's hard work bashed based solely on one song or a few minutes of a trailer when the vid is [I]otherwise[/I] very solid.

While the soundtrack is obviously not to everyone's liking, the fact of the matter is that it walks a fine line between overly obnoxious and elevator music - something rare with even the biggest MTB vids. The footage does an excellent job, in my opinion, of capturing racing life for the average Joe Pro. While it's great to watch Hill and Peaty destroy courses the world over, the simple fact of the matter is that watching top level pros is a very small part of downhill racing. What "Pinned" does an excellent job of is capturing the anticipation, the excitement and the disappointment of racing for guys and girls who actually have to get up on Monday morning to pay the bills. In my opinion, the video is a welcome departure from the hype that has come to define the genre of "DH" type vids. The riding is very solid (Kovarick's footage is the best I've seen anywhere, bar none) and the footage does an excellent job of capturing the speed and skill involved in DH racing. If you're the type who likes pixie sticks with your Mt. Dew, you may do well to look elsewhere. If, on the other hand, you actually ride and love the sport for everything from time spent trying to track down lost linkage bolts in the pits to feeling like you're gonna puke every time you hear "riders ready?" to sharing a podium with bros - this video is for you. In short - this is a rider's video. Pinned's clips will likely never find their way into the "Destroyed in Seconds" archive, but in the end - isn't that a good thing?Check this DVD out - it might be a long stretch to think that anonymous posters on teh intrawebs don't know what they're talking about, but then again, you may find yourself pleasantly surprised.
