 yeah, I find it's just a ok vid.

The start where we get a 360 view of the frame was awesome but there is nothing special about the riding part.

"if it does not make you want to go out for a ride, then nothing will."

lol?

 I agree with you totally as I read very weak/negative comments here everyday. I'm usually a very positive person on line and in person but I just felt I gained nothing from this video. Thats why I made the comment that I did. In the future I will try not to be so vague.. Have a good one "brule" and keep up the good work. I love PB!

 Thanks for the positive reply. The internet is the easiest place for folks to talk trash and say things that they'd never say in person. If we all make little efforts, then at least PB will be a better place than most to go for many more reasons than simply an amazing place for bikers to enjoy the fine things in life Smile

 It sure as hell looked fun to me. That's the kind of riding we have around where I live.

 PB IS PROTECTING THIS! I have read many negative comments(plus mine saying "I want my 1:07min. back!") since yesterday and they keep on getting deleted. Thats why there are only 30 comments, LoL. Let people express themselves!

 No we're actually trying to help you look like you aren't a narrow minded person or a user that isn't simply trying to stir the pot and troll or one that can't put an actual expression together. Comments like "I want my 1:07 back" are totally useless. You are entitled to an opinion and I am entitled to a delete button. If you have something good or bad to say, learn to back it up or offer criticism, good or bad, but weak comments deserve to be deleted.

 Since when has AM riding ever been lame? It takes a stronger rider to Pedal all day IMHO. Take the gnarliest tech DH sections you plough though...turn them horizontal. Can you pedal though them? Because I am sure all but the very nastiest, many people can...all freaking day. There are some freaking brutes of human beings out there riding AM, and they are more well rounded than the "Just DH" rider.

 Sweet ride for sure... the Spitfire is the little brother to the Rune, which is my ride of choice these days. I haven't had the pleasure of throwing a leg over the Spitfire, but if it rides like it looks like it should (and this video shows) it must be a fun little ripper! Light and tight!

Oh and the "trees without bark" are called Arbutus Trees. Vancouver Island is literally COVERED with them!!

Another nice Banshee vid AL/SL.

 Beautiful shots. It may not be interesting in terms of riding, but the scenery and the way it is filmed are very nice.

 The Spitfire looks like a seriously kick ass trail bike! It seems so versatile in terms of how it can be built up, light weight trail bike or aggressive trail riding weapon. Nice video as well. Smile

 The Spitfire is so Legit! North Shore Bike Shop manager Jeremy built his up today and we went out for a couple sweet laps after work and it's a rocket! DH stability, billy goat legs, xc race-able weight.

 haha - unfortunately for a few of us, we would kill for something like that to be a 'regular' ride. Having to drive 1 1/2+ hrs just to find a hill with decent trails can be a bummer.

 The fact that you see something elsewhere does not say that it's bad, but that others want to share a good piece of content with more people. Original content on the internet is a tough one, but when you find good pieces, you wanna share it.

 Sleepy, little too short, little too boring, definately didnt made me wanna ride :/
Thing that make me "wanna ride" is i.e: intro of ROAM, I miss movies like Roam...
In My opinion ofc...
