In order to slow it down to 1000 frames per second, they needed to keep the background as basic as possible, otherwise you'd get a lot of pixel distortion. It doesn't make for the greatest video having such a blank background as the sky, but it allows for the slow motion to look good and for the viewers to see what goes on throughout the moves. More about the concept than having a banger edit.
Edit - the other way, which i guess red bull could do (since they have lots of money), would be to use a proper high speed camera ($$) that could actually capture that amount of frames per second rather than using a computer program to simulate it, then background doesn't matter and you could have a sweet concept with a banger edit. +1
Funny that you say the 888 rules and the Boxxer sucks. That never came out of my mouth. I only commented on the fact of stiction. Jumping to conclusions?
I have a 2011 Boxxer WC, why would I bash this fork if it felt like top fork out there? After riding both of these forks, I would in a heart beat go over to the 888.
I hope people who are considering either of these forks and are concerned with performance will read these comments and be better informed on their purchase, and others who have nothing better to say (like yourself) have fun with the fork of your choice.
At the end of the day, its about bikes and having fun.
They get by because they are riding prototype product that isn't available, nor is it made for the consumer. They essentially ride 'boxxer' externals while the whole internals are completely different than what is available to us consumers.
True, most people don't understand the fact that you need to maintain your fork, especially the world cup as its a race fork. I have mine in the stand after every solid race/ride with it pulled apart and new oils, so its not the fact i'm not maintaining it...it gets maintained.
Finally, you must be the one who knows nothing if you're calling me out on such a simple concept such as sag. Getting personal at someone because they've ridden both, have a solid understanding of how both work, and believe that one is better than the other is childish.
Boxxer has stiction, 888 does not
No, its not my fork. Its all boxxer forks. Try compressing the fork quickly...all you feel is, well you don't feel anything because the fork sticks in its initial travel.
with a boxxer you lose, there is so much stiction compared to the 40 or 888. fact. i have one. i dont want it anymore after trying the 888
no need to gamble, i tried one on the norco aurum with the roco shock this weekend and it feels unbelievable. better than my v10 carbon with rockshox wc and vivid air.
