I know, I know. With every incredible video it seems like we’re always saying this one is different. This one stands out. Part of that is due to the fact that mountain biking and slopestyle in general is evolving at an alarming pace. But then there are clips like Lapse that literally make you saw, “wow.” Of course there is unbelievable riding involved, but the way it was spliced into clips worthy of a big budget movie with a gripping soundtrack featuring the narration of philosopher Alan Watts, this is one clip that can not be missed…

You should probably sell all of your bikes and take up scootering if you have any issue with what just played out in that edit. (kidding, but that absolutely bled style/skill. Not to mention the creative editing)

The bike stuff is amazing. What I don’t need is non-sequitir David Lynch-esque interstitials that do nothing but tell the world the filmmaker knows how to use Final Cut Pro X.

You gotta look at them symbolically. They’re not just there to be there, there’s a meaning behind them.

Just imagine what he could do on a 20″er. I would love to see him crossover and do both bmx and SS.

@bearcol search for his bmx stuff on youtube. Of course he can do anything with 20″ as well. And scooters too…

I wonder what he’s running for a rear hub. It looks like he’s got some kind of freecoaster.

Which would I rather have?… Semenuks’s skills, or that Mustang…

This reminds me of the classy expensive “senor plow” commercial Homer paid for…
