Chatel France



Chatel France is clearly not Whistler.  It's a good thing no one was seriously hurt in this. A high speed launcher directly into fade away left corner with no markings. I could imagine doing the same thing. reminds me of a ride I had on Eagle one time.....

The dude in the black already in the field at the beginning wasn't even riding with the crew of dudes filming. Yikes! Time to go back to trail design school.

Van Life 2



This edit is really well put together. Lots of style in this short film about Kona Rider Ryan Gardner on his Satori.

Ryan Gardner is a Kona Supergrass rider who travels around the United States in his van to race his mountain bike professionally. This video features Knapps Castle trail in the backcountry of Santa Barbara, California.
To make this video we used Magic Lantern software installed on Canon 5D iii cameras to shoot RAW video. This allowed us to gain more dynamic range and make each shot incredibility sharp. We also used a Red EPIC for the slow motion shots and a GoPro 3 for the octocopter and POV shots.

Leogang helmet cam action



This is a must watch. Ratboy throws down sooo much style on the wet Leogang track. Race sunday on Redbull.tv 6am ish

Steve Peat follows Josh 'Ratboy' Bryceland down a wet and wild Leogang, at the final round of the UCI World Cup!!

Leogang


DirtTV brings us another track walk for the last race in the 2013 UCI World Cup. Riders talk about the nature of the course including several springs the bike park style track is built on. It should be exciting to watch just how the conditions affect the riders and who will take this year's overall title.

Adam Brayton



I'm really glad this edit has no music, You can listen to his tires grab, when he brakes and his buzzing hubs as he flies down Schladming. Wicked.
#IamGas2Flat aka Adam Brayton takes you on a wild ride down the ex-World Cup course at Schladming, Austria. He lets his Hope Factory Specialized Demo 8 take care of some serious blasting and berm-busting business.

Scooterin



Those scooters with bike rack things are great! Turns out there is also some riding in this video after the long BC transit bus repair segment.

Chris Akrigg



I swear, half the posts on this blog are about Chris Akrigg. I can't help it. He' s too fun to watch! Creative riding, interesting locations and always something new to make you scratch your head. This time he's back with more magic tricks on bikes. So watch it already...

Never really know what to say in this little box! I guess the original idea behind this edit was to go for a spin without getting off for them bloody gates, cliffs, stiles and things, or as i like to call it a triple XC ride. All aboard the Mongoose Teocali . Anyway you get the idea, hope you enjoy. NEXT...................

Tyrone Williams



Tyrone Williams is working hard for all those tricks. That bike looks like it weighs eighty pounds.

Citi Bikes are public rental bikes in NYC. BMX rider Tyrone Williams takes one out for a spin and looks good doing it.

2014 Dartmoor


Quite the spazoid colour scheme from Dartmoor bikes at Eurobike

Using a special "oil slick" coating process, Dartmoor has come up with a petrol color scheme that varies from frame to frame. Look for Szymon Godziek to be blasting sky high on this one.

The frame is made of multiple butted, seamless Japanese Cr-Mo 4130 steel tubes. All the tubes are heat treated before welding. Hydroformed chainstay tubes increase stiffness, lower weight and give more clearance for the crankarms. Features gyro tab holes in the head tube, a 68.5-degree head angle, 380mm stays, 135x10mm dropouts, 68mm Spanish BB, Campy style 45/45 integrated headset, 11.8-inch seat tube length, and a weight of 4.98-pounds (2.26kg).

Kym Grosser



Watch this clip. He does a on-the-nose-ride-along into a droppy-doodle with no hands and no feet on the handlebars or the pedals. I kinda think he shoulda done a tailwhipper, but what do I know. Cool tricks dude!
This clip from The Set of Kym Grosser riding in the rain is crazy! Switch footed nose manual and then a nothing down a set, with wet ground and slippery pedals sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Ace Hayden - The List - More Mountain Bike Videos

When I ride Whistler it looks just like this, except I don't pussy out of all the hard stuff and I go about a million times faster.  Maybe its time to put the training wheels back on or take up something easier like scooters. Booooring! Plus whats with wrecking all those dope DVDs?!!! I would taken them srsly.
When riders head to Whistler for the first time they usually make a list of the things they want to hit. What happens when a pro and ex resident makes his list? Watch and see. Credit: Lone Wolf Productions made for Commencal

Andrew Bizet



Double backflip on a DH bike... Pretty impressive and makes it look effortless
Antoine Bizet is the first ever rider to stomp a double backflip on a downhill bike. The session at Mottolino Fun Mountain in Livigno was going nuts and Antoine stomped the trick 4 times in a row, even while beeing the leader of a massive train.
Check out the video...

Brendog


This is a gopro video of Brendan Fariclough and Thomas Vanderham riding Whistler. The camera was controlled by something called a gimbal, whatever it is it looks awesome. Both riders show loads of style and coolness in this one!

Four year old kids



I am waaaaaay better at bikes than this stupid four year old kid. What a total lame! Kids are jerks. I hate it when I'm at Whistler rippin up Easy Does It and some dumb kid is in front of me and he's going slow and I'm like "on your right" and he's like "I'm doing it dad, I'm doing it, this is the funnest". SUCKS!!!!!!

Tom Van Steenbergen



 Tom van Steenbergen rides some skate park and dirt jumps on a summer afternoon. I know that when I go riding for an afternoon I usually frontflip flyout to start my day. Lots of slo-mo trick action in this one, enjoy!
