Love the colors and the camera work is well done.
I use ski lifts here in the states for this kind of riding. I can't believe that you have these flowy single track trails in a place where the only way to access them is to push the bike up the hill!
Just two things i did not like...
The audio in the sit down interview was hard to hear. Where was the microphone? And the second thing was the use of Twixtor to slow the stuff down. i could see the image artifacts.
I liked it tho... keep them coming! I live to ride downhill.
Take a look at a video I shot with the Sony EX1 at a mountain in New Hampshire USA a month ago.

I sped up some of the riding... so at least you know that in advance. Check it out.
Thanks for the comments. I checked out your video which was pretty cool. I noticed you used a 35mm adaptor for this. I have just got one myself but have not used it on the trail yet.
How do you find shooting DH with it. What lenses do you find useful for trails?
Audio on my video is not good because i used the camera mic! Pushing for DH over here is all part of the game. I have figured out another way to slow down my footage now which gives better results so hopefully the artifacts wont be there again. I think twixtor is good but you have to tweak it too much for my liking
i use the letus extreme 35mm lens adapter. the best one currently available. (other than the letus ultimate)

i use the fastest primes i own when shooting in heavy tree cover (nikon 50mm f1.4 mainly). shooting with prime lenses is a whole different experience because you almost never zoom. to get closer to your subject you move physically closer with the entire camera or change lenses.
as for focus, it is very difficult without a puller or a follow focus system (which i do not own yet)
keep up the good work and buy a sony ecm-77b mic for those sit down interviews.
it is important to keep pushing this sport.
Has a real nice feel to it!!!!
Nice work
Maybe you'll do some stuff for the local BBC as the quality of their programmes are shocking, very bad.
