watched, wtf. replay. wtf. mind. blown...btw some pinkbike experts should talk Semenuk into the benefits of the current trend of upsizing his bike.. that kid looks like on a BMX, there is no way he can be stable. smooth and centered on the bike... oh wait..

This guy is literally an "Artist." His skillsets are so honed, that It's no longer just riding, it's methodical compositions, starting from the plot of land, flow, & features to compliment his inventive tricks; and his damn flawless execution! Keep pushing the sport!

@VTwintips: he is good but I think that he is loosing his bag of tricks

in last almost half of the video he was doing whips and tables

he should have put more tricks into it!!!

Aliens is a fun action flick, no hate, but really not comparable (Alien is a horror/cinematography masterpiece; AlienS is a fun hollywood blow-em-up...)

This Rawnesss on the other hand is mind blowing progression.

@scott-townes: serious question: how so?

zede (Jul 17, 2017 at 14:54)

@scott-townes: no, i'm comparing the fact both Candide and Brandon release unfrequently videos, but when they do, it just reminds everybody how good they are. There is no equivalent of Candide Thovex in mtb, and there is no equivalent of Brandon Semenuk in ski.

scott-townes (Jul 17, 2017 at 15:14) (Below Threshold)

If Brandon held multiple massively progressive events, did multiple tricks that were unmatched for years, a decade and some never done since, won multiple disciplines for many years at the highest level, came back from an injury that would easily kill the career of most, and then started to release random edits showing he still has the skill in the park which he rarely goes into, on top of having some of the most impressive big mountain riding compared to current riders then... yeah then you can consider comparing Candide to Brandon.

scott-townes (Jul 17, 2017 at 19:51) (Below Threshold)

@Neechy: Oh Semenuk had an almost career-ending injury? What massive events did he hold with creative and ground-breaking features? What tricks has he done that haven't been replicated for years or yet to be done?

zede (Jul 17, 2017 at 23:31)

@scott-townes: Can you read or are you one of these people that pretend to read and reply something random because he wants to be right? You have to be fairly stupid to compare the career and achievements of someone that is 35 with that of someone that is 26.

Slopestyle and speed&style shouldn't be only judged on tricks. This is a 98+ run with no 720 or twister or "triple whatever to one hand to xup to almost fail". And with a proper helmet.

but whatever

fracasnoxteam FL (Jul 18, 2017 at 5:14)

@noisette: i'm not comparing is run to any contest run, just saying tricks aren't everything. Maybe a slopestyle spot with multiple lines could be more interesting, as WC races are with multiple lines, could give more points to creativity.

noisette (Jul 18, 2017 at 18:28)

@fracasnoxteam: I see what you mean, and i agree, what threw me off is that you gave 98+ points for it! for what? to get points, you need to be scored; to get scored, you need to be judged; to be judged, you need to participate in a competition - and this is not a competition run.
Vids are about showcasing your fav moves, as close to perfection as they can be, no matter how many takes it takes (:P), competitions are about the what you can do then and there.
Just the way I see it.
Still a cool video, not saying it isn't.

noisette (Jul 18, 2017 at 18:32)

@fracasnoxteam: multiple lines would be interesting in slopestyle, yep! would also make scoring even more difficult, me thinks

I've long ben thinkin that slopestyle and speed and style has lost it self to mindless trick math combo craze. Great to see BS amping up the Steeze and toning down all the fidgety trick stuff. Btw..

guide210 (Jul 17, 2017 at 22:52)

A cool moment:

I remember when I went to Whistler BP, I was on a chairlift. It was my wife and I and a dad and his kid, probably 8-9-10. As we were sharing the lift for the next few minutes, I was sitting middle right next to the kid while the dad and my wife were on the outside.

On our way up, I mentioned how cool the dad was for taking his son to Whistler and letting him ride. I also introduced myself and asked his name, only asking him to remember me when he became big and famous like BC native Semenuk. I asked him if he liked Brandon and he lit up like a Roman candle as he was a BC native as well.

"Because your dad is so cool and he takes you to Whistler BP, you are going to become world famous, and all I ask is that you remember little old me when you become a world famous rider like Brandon. I can look back and say that on this day, I shared a chair with you before you became famous!!"

I can't remember his name but the feeling I had after we got off the lift made me smile.

I see what you did there. Ha!

nolson2 (Jul 17, 2017 at 10:03)

Semenuk - Love seeing the guy reach his potential and progress the sport, not just be another guy who's in it for the "scene" and to party, like most of his contemporaries....

seraph (Jul 17, 2017 at 10:58)

I spent the whole video saying to myself "and that's the part where I would die...no wait, that part...oh there too..." Also I want another Ticket now.

probablyoutriding (Jul 17, 2017 at 14:33)

Does anyone even rival Semenuks pump+butter skills right now? Maybe its just me but his skill level looks nearly unattainable.

Patrick9-32 (Jul 18, 2017 at 3:23)

It's attainable. All you have to do is start riding bikes when you are very young and do it all day every day until you are 26 pushing yourself to do something nobody has ever done before on every one of those sessions with complete focus. Easy.

jacobgreen (Jul 17, 2017 at 0:51)

He looks so composed in the air I can picture him nonchalantly eating a sandwich while sending it in the next edit.

whitebullit (Jul 17, 2017 at 3:41)

guy makes good edits but hes not much of a contest rider anymore, lets the pressure take over i guess, and i kinda lost interest in him over it. at least keep trying/take a different mental approach,dont just stop doing contests and only making edits where u get as many takes as you want, i say the best is the guy who can throw it down run after run in a contest, and right now thats not semenuk. even the fact that he only wants to do joyride this year after his piss poor performance last year.

makdthed (Jul 17, 2017 at 4:43)

I get your statement, its alot easier to make this look so damn cool when you have time to play around

but, on the flip side, people likes these "blockbuster" edits, all slick and polished, its a different beast to competitions and should not be called slop style as some sites call it, its a showpiec,e and a good one at that, so its not a problem that he is not in comps no more, this is a preference he has, to make slick edits, if i was being a bitch I could say its arrogance as a fail in slopestyle make you look weak, or bad, this can only make you look a god ...

but, either way, different beast to comps, his chosen route, just ignore comps now, this is slick-ass-showing-off, and its good feast for the eyes

12 1

sino428 (Jul 17, 2017 at 7:57)

What exactly does a guy like him have left to prove by doing contests? He's won everything multiple times. He won the FMB world tour 3x, joyride 4x, rampage 2x, etc. Who cares if he doesn't want to do contests anymore and focuses more on making videos. Its two different animals. He's no less of a badass just because he doesn't want to do contests. When was the last time Travis Rice entered a snowboard contest? Its been like 10 years, but is there anyone on the planet who doesn't consider him to be one of, if not the best snowboarder in the world?

gavlaa (Jul 17, 2017 at 8:00)

@whitebullit : Don't worry about what you've lost- concentrate on what we've all gained... I can't see the whip to tail whip or the table to late table going down so well in a slopestyle run... These videos have enabled Semenuk to express himself in a whole new way. Working with Rupert Walker means it's all captured by a friend who shares the desire to break the mould. I personally think the Revel Co vids are the best in the game right now.
