Considering the release date this video aged fantastically well, good work
Holy cow this became popular - This is the video that got me (a kid from Kansas) into mountain biking back in 2010 ish. Heck I don't even remember when
Same mate, but now only brings tears
Wow, that's an AMAZING FOREST!
This is true bliss in serinity, This man has found somethings that makes him happy and has taped this astonishing footage for us to ponder in it's vastness....Thank you
Bike is life.
allways
Actually, and i'm totally honest, this very video motivated me to get into mountain biking
I watched this video when I was 15 :3 now I am 23 and it is still one of my favorities
One of the first video i saw on youtube when i was a child
Absolutely amazing.
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."
I feel that this video should have lasted longer, it kind of stopped out of nowhere. But it was nice anyway, great woods.
I love my island! I am growing up on Vancouver Island and will stay here till I die.
And will continue to bike in heaven.
me and my bike = freedom :)
good words! +1
Asked no one

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.
im a nigga but i like this video

This is AMAZING cinematography!!!!! Perfect location, camera angles, time of day, and editing. One of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen on you tube!!
Looks like suicide forest in japan
Watching this video takes me back.
Um, nice video, but irresponsible to promote riding on wet trails...
are you broken?
but thats the whole point..
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.
Riding wet trails is better than dry.
shes definitely broken bro.. i bet she havent tried to ride one..
I wish i could have glasses that makes everything look like this.
Awesome effects and Cinematic Shots
Ah yes! Mountain biking the beautiful Pacific Northwest, it really does look like this! Awesome video!
watched this for a zillion times and still i think this is the best ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was difficult, the way that i found this downhill track and optimize this trail. Good job my team,that you create this video and cutting this szens that i take and filmed. #gopro
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 :)
You know what I just realized about youtube, no matter what type of video it is..no matter how good the video is.. theres always going to be a dislike bar an people hatin on it. Great vid!
Not anymore 😂
I love to ride and this video is sick. The cinematography of it is beautiful and is all I love about riding in the PNW.
Just got back from a mad ride and found this after I sat down... Made me want to load the bikes back up and go again !!
That forrest is just so epic looks like a fairytail :) great riding
Now THIS is a bike video. Great Job! Reminds me of riding around Seattle.
dude, that trail is too beautiful.
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.
i often come back to this video when i want a refresher on quality freeride :D
This reminded me of the trails that I ride, just wish I had the same bike. Great video and love the scenery.
This quality is unbelievable.
Winter is right around the corner..
and with it? RAIN!
YEEAAAAH!
this video is my intro into this winter.
One of the BEST free ride video's I've seen, stellar track, totally epic!!
BEAUTIFULL MUSIC AND VIDEO, HELLO FROM BOSNIA
Cool video, its what i feel when i ride.
Stunning camera work bro, easily the best mtb segment I've seen on You, hands down.
i just bought my legend off pinkbike im soooooo pumped to ride it this season!
That place looks so fun. Very nicely shot video.
the entire video is artistic as fuck, the guy filming and editing this should get a reward of some kind
Vancouver Island is a truly magical place. Do your best to get there you will not be disappointed.
Τέλειο δάσος... Which means "Perfect forest" in Greek. And, surely, great trail... Well done!
This is what MTB:ing is about.. It's not about racing, never was. It's about enjoying the shit out of that ride in your own style.
Brilliantly shot.
One of my favorite mtb vids.
phenomenal filming and editing
it is the best bike video of all that i have ever seen
this is my favourite video on youtube
Amazing camera work and scenery!
Really striking video. It's got me psyched to jump on the bike again after being off for far too long!
The smell of damp earth, the adrenaline rushing through your veins, the cold wind hitting your face, see the sun pass across the mist. not think there's something better
I finally found it! I've been looking for this video for a while now
This video makes me sad yet also really stoked... Sad because I'm stuck in Florida with all it's amazing flatness...
the places people ride are incredible!
Beautiful area to film a mtn bike video & really like the song too. I agree that its not really freeride but I would still love to go..... to any trail system in Canada actually.
I agree i love this video, i watch it everyday
Smooth & skillful. Well done.
this video was made by Aaron Larocque and the original name of the video is "Island Winter".
Song: Neon Hitch ft. Liam Horne - Am I Dreaming (Easy Does It Remix)
Best MTB video I've seen in a long time!
Amazing sceneries ! Wow, these are really beautiful.
Also, thanks for putting it back up! I love this video and I was sad when it got taken away :(
The video was uploaded to pinkbike(dot)com and the last scene was taken as a pod (picture of the day) at the same site.. Nice riding dude! and Aaron Larocque videos just rock it!!
amazing photography too!
the best way to look at this sport that i love " its like being on a rollercoaster except your in control of how fast you want to go and when to put the anchors on :-)
Looks beautiful!!
Best free ride vídeo! Winderfull place
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.
One word....: BEAUTIFUL
Well just AWESOME video with a GREAT soundtrack... YES!
Love this video I can't stop watching it
14.000 likes and this Video is amazing
Absolutely Stunning Scenery :o and sick biking
Almost perfect! Well done!
I imagine the diffucuties shooting out there with the rain & moisture.
(i would try a different soundtrack though)
This forest is so unreal!
Dang this video is still up. Rmemeber watching this daily in 2012
I remember when this came out. Dang time flys
imagine how many cameras they used to make this film! two thumbs up!
I am truly inspired by the level of self control in your reply, considering what you responded to. I'm going to try that on my 3-year-old's tantrums :)
@ruslanmga the vegetation is doug fir, sword fern, salal, oregon grape and mountain hemlock... not sure that stuff grows in Russia
That is the best video with bike on UA-cam!
Това е най-доброто видео в UA-cam с колело!
Funk...pure...funk. Keep it up bro!
@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
Amaizing video forever!
very nice video love the path and the song mate
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.
Love the Island.
*Wonderful for many reasons* ツ
wow, this is really well made
@darion507 a banshee legend mk2 :) is a downhill frame ... the freeride frame of banshee is the banshee scythe ^^
A really gorgeous video but i couldn't help but think it needed more.. riding.
I'm picking up my Giant tomorrow! Woohoo!
Awesomeness level : OVER 9000 !!!
Love the table in the mist part at 1:25 :D
Produced Very Well
Great Video, riding on wet forest floor scares me, but its the best fun
god that fog and woods were so cool great vid
