6 Freeride Videos – X Games Real MTB Edits

6 Freeride Videos – X Games Real MTB Edits

It’s a competition, but who cares – there are now six new short video edits for you to watch, from some of the best freeriders in the world.

With its Utah setting, massive step shots and metal soundtrack, Cam Zink’s video has the raw feel of the Down Trilogy videos, from the early 2000s, but with GoPros.

Veronique Sandler’s edit takes us back another decade, with a casual 90s vibe – only with much better bikes than back then.

Brage Vestavik brings us something that’s part zombie movie part ‘A Sasquatch stole my bike’.

Brandon Semenuk’s edit combines the freewheel buzz and balletic moves we’ve come to expect.

DJ Brandt has whole MTB/BMX/snowboard mashup vibe going on.

And finally Danny MacAskill goes for a play in the woods, doing things your mum always told you not to.

More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments.

  1. Brage’s is the most entertaining for me but it will depend on the judging criteria. If they award perfection over insanity it will go to Semenuk (see Rampage/Justice for Brendog), which I think is a shame, it’s not ice skating!

  2. Vero’s makes me want to go and ride my bike. Got my vote.

    Vestavik’s is bonkers though. That skinny at the start looked sketchy enough and he goes and half cabs the thing. And that drop at the end – bloody hell.

  3. Vero; Vestavik; Brandt is my top 3. Agree with simon_g (Vero vid makes me want to get out and ride) which is why it gets top spot. Vestavik is bonkers and kudos to Brandt for the one foot landing!

  4. Vero – because it actually feels like proper riding and makes me want to grab my bike – I’m not into the gymnastics with a bike stuff (impressive as it obviously is)
