1. Style
2. How fast?
3. Nice to see some damp trails in a video for a change
I'm off to brave the rain and mud and pretend I can ride half as good
Doesn't look that wet and I really hate the current obsession of skidding up every corner.
Videos like that really fire me up to get out and ride. No super gnar triple 360s, just smooth and fast, the way I'd like to ride.
Agree about the skids tho...
Well it's a yank vid, it's never going to be proper wet like we have to ride in
Skids are fun and perhaps slow and therefore anti #enduro ?!! 😉
You're all missing the point. They're not skids (except half of one when he gets his braking done really late going into a corner, and then drifts round the rest of it). Drifting is cool, skidding is not (unless it's a really good skid in a trail centre car park, obviously).
great video and brilliant riding
he's using clipless too
drifting a bike through a corner is one of the greatest feelings in mountain biking, imo. Wish I could do it half as good as that.
by the by....he is one of the chaps that was in the fluidride tutorial video from a few years back - well worth a watch. Think it's on youtube and iTunes
My little boy can say two words; dada and braaaap 😀
