    This is some amazing DOWNHILL riding. I agree with some of the other comments. The are no drops, big jumps, planks, or transitions. I have to give props to whoever filmed this because it because that is some great cinematography.

    i like all these videos with the little scenes of the guy pushing his bike and clicking his heels together or what not. It really says. " i'm not just an adrenaline junkie, I'm also a man."

      @lizs1073 10 років тому +3

      che griffin yes I get that it's cool to splash through puddles. I guess if these guys are the ones maintaining the trails and fixing the erosion caused by riding when they're muddy, that's their choice.

    • @Ewan.f15
      @Ewan.f15 10 років тому +5

      Riding wet trails is better than dry.

    The word seems perfect, to not be limited to a big park full of wooden platforms, berms and jumps and be free to ride where ever, how ever is true freeriding.

    Downhill is a racing sport...
    Freeriding is riding just for fun, wherever you ride, without any measuring in style or speed, as you do in contest. what today is usually called freeride (smooth track, big jumps, or whatever) is just a small part of the real thing ;)
    sry for my bad english :)

    some people live for the sheer adrenaline of rushing downhill. they love it soo much that the large uphills don't mean anything to them and the little bit of dh they actually get is worth it.

    @isaacwilk; the ms for asking, greedier is the absence of definition of MTB, greedier basically means anything on a mountain bike that is not a race

  • @PoeticThreeD
    @PoeticThreeD 12 років тому

    Just to let everbody know this isn't the original, the original was filmed and edited by Aaron Laroque; who is very skilled. To find the original go search google videos and type in "island winter" it's the first result. Thumbs this up so people can see.
