Jamie Biluk and I have been friends since we started racing downhill in juniors. Racing and riding has been our lives ever since. There are few riders in BC that have remained as dedicated to racing as Jamie. Jamie had big plans for 2011 after a strong 2010 season, but an early season wrist injury would prove to be a major setback, missing most of the race season. Instead of hitting the beach all summer we decided to make a “Biluk Edit”. This was my first summer of shooting and was a great opportunity for us to work together showcasing our talents.

We wanted to show everyone what it takes to be a racer, and most importantly awesome riding. So grab yourself a beer (or other preferred beverage), sit back and enjoy.

 They may not get what you're doing but don't let it get you down because when you do hit the trails with them, you'll leave them in the dust. There's only so much you can gain from straight shuttle rides... at the end of the day only your true friends will respect and encourage what you're doing.

 Awesome video! Goes to show that riding bikes is riding bikes. Doesn't matter what kinda riding discipline you're in, whether it's road biking, trail riding, or downhill.

I just wish Connor was in front of the lens at the SAME time as being behind it because last I saw him ride, he was FAAAASST.

 that vid was AWESOME! it completely eclipsed the scene from follow me with hill and vanderham riding the shore, not enough praise for this vid just wondering now if he'll take the reigns from andrew mitchell

 Hello finnrambo, I am writing to you simply for friendly debate. Your opinion is certainly respected as this video moved you in a certain way however, I do strongly feel you saying "completely eclipsed... 'follow me' ... hill and vanderham" (sic.) is a gross exaggeration. Do you really feel this above video surpasses the aforementioned segment? I do not. In "Follow Me" the color and saturation while not forgetting the riding over the wet roots is forever burned in my mind.

 This segment does inspire me more then follow me because it shows what it takes to be a downhiller. Hill and Vanderham looked like they weren't doing any hard training and just rode like that all day. What I like most is how it shows we work just as hard as roadies and XCers I should know being a former road and track racer. Follow me had better filming while this one had a story behind it, that is why I like this video more than Follow Me. Even though I really like the videos commencal has on their site.
My favorite scene from follow me was the bike parks topped with fairclough and vanderham(I think) riding to the soundtrack of rise against.
