Hey Everyone,

We just revamped our comment features for both videos and forum posts. I wanted to take just a few seconds to fill you in on the changes.

Threading:

The first thing you'll notice is a link below any pre-existing comment or forum post titled: "Reply to Comment." This handy little guy lets you respond to a specific comment, so you can use it to answer someone if, let's say, they ask a direct question.

For example: Let's say I post a video and I get a comment from NholdR asking "How fast were you going?" I would use "Reply to Comment" to tell him, "Ludicrous speed!"

Another reason to use "Reply to Comment" is that the original commenter (NholdR in the case above) will be notified of your response. If you were to post a new comment however, they would not be notified. So be sure to use "Reply to Comment" whenever you want to address someone directly.

Notifications:

We've also added some new settings so you'll be notified when people are talking to (or about) you.

You will now receive email when someone comments on your video or forum post or when someone replies to your comment. You can also turn on and off notifications for both of these items in the settings section of your profile.

Speed and Page Loading:

We also put a lot of work into making comment posting easier and faster. Comments will now post without reloading the page, so if you're watching a video feel free to post a comment without fear of the video restarting from a page load.

That's it for comments, if you have any questions you can always hit us up.

Thanks and let's get chatty!

VholdR.com runs an ongoing contest series called the Top5. In it we feature the top 5 (duh) videos for a particular category. Last week we posted the results episode for the 'motorcycle' category. The winner of this contest received a free exhaust from Leo Vince! Check out the full post here.



The next challenge is another big one. It's for the 'mtb' category and it features some awesome prizes from Diamondback, including a new beach cruiser for the winner. Check out the full post here.

Being super light and self contained does have it's advantages. One of which is the ability to mount to RC planes and get cool videos like this one from VholdR.com member TheFlyboy. It's arial footage over Sausalito, California. The view is spectacular but what really got my attention was the "catch" landing. Check out the full post here.

This is a simple but effective edit of an epic failure. VholdR.com member lamoson shows us multiple speeds of his bike heading into the mud and him going over the bars. Check out the full post here.

This video comes from our prolific producer Stinger. Stinger is well known for his great skydiving videos coming out of Poland. This time he raises the bar with a 14 person track jump. Check out the full post here.

Our friends over at Gripped films are in process of editing a movie about the 2009 Tour De France. Check out the trailer for Chasing Legends. ContourHD makes a few cameos with onboard footage. If it's light enough for them...

It's the last day of our series of awesome downhill competition posts from around the world, and we've certainly saved the best for last. This one comes from VholdR.com member davidwhitefield. This video was shot at the Megavalanche held in France. This is actually david's second video from the event, the first was last years when he was shooting on a VholdR. I'll be the first to admit, Megavalanche looks great in HD. Check out the full post here.

This video comes from Big in Bavaria (that's in Germany ;-) and it's an outstanding shoot and edit of some huge jumps. Check out the full post here.
