Discussion

I find this video interesting for several reasons, but mainly because it's basically filmed and edited very much like a modern mountainbike web vid.  Certain things you always see in mountainbike edits that also crop up in this are:

• Completely inoffensive music
• Close up SUPER SLOW MO shots
• Fast pans
• Lots of supporting shots (bike and rider)
• Speed - no flat rails at walking pace.
• It's very clean and pretty.
• I think I saw a mountain in there.

Whether or not this approach 'suits' BMX is up for debate, but I think it works quite well with Anthony Napolitan's style.  He seems like a pretty clean and pro sort of dude, and his riding is very precise.  Personally, I still like bmx videos to be a bit rough and ready, or at least seem that way (Anthem).  

Other discussion points; that set-up at the end is clearly a FMX hip jump, which makes you realise just how big those guys go.  Getting two-thirds of the way up the landing on a bmx was a pretty big deal; they probably go 50 feet above it.  

Anyway, enough rambling.
