SCARIEST JUMP OF MY LIFE!! Testing the NEW Red Bull Hardline Features
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 พ.ค. 2024
- I tested the brand new and insane Red Bull Hardline features! Hardline Wales is the most extreme and challenging MTB downhill course in the world, and it just got harder with the latest top section and 70ft canyon river gap! This is so mad and to be part of the first crew to ride it with Bernard Kerr and Jim Monro felt wild. I'm stoked that Jim is OK and recovering after his huge crash on the river gap. Stay tuned for more testing this week!
Legends - บันเทิง
That jumps gonna kill someone
That's part of the thrill
i can see it in front of my eye. someone will slip, lose control while riding up the jump and shoot out of it to the left. Mountainbikeracing becomes crazier every year.
Didn't watched the whole Video when I commented. Jim almost did that, what I said. They gain so much speed while jumping in the roll in. The transition between the roll in and flat is so quick and short, they will shoot with so much impact in the jump thats also pretty quick and short they will just do what Jim did.
In BK's vid he said they are going to flatten the lip and put a safety net across the river.
I think the way you were meant to say it is ‘not making that jump is going to kill someone’. 😂😂 sorry just had to say it but 100% agree there rising for the thrill and pushing the boundaries but my word that’s just waiting for the inevitable to happen
"It's just a jump innit. Okey dokey." was the most British thing you could've said before jumping a 70ft ravine
Then immediately starts writing his will..... never seen him shitting it like this before.
funny bc British, but that's exactly the mindset you want before hitting this.
We need a sticker
@@mahalomydude it definitely needs to be a sticker......its just a jump innit...........fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.....noooooooooooooooooooooo....
"ive never liked it" when staring at rather mild features as though hes been questioning the whole "lets go mountain biking" thing for some time..
Matts line "Too steep for sheep" 100% needs put on a Hardline t- shirt 😂😂
Please someone make this happen😅
100% I would preorder that!
Make it happen guys
Would definitely get one!
most relatable thing ever "Im walking round that, forget that" 🤣
That river jump gets my "ABSOLUTELY, HELL-F**KIN' NO!!!!" rating.
thats my fav thing too. practical advice for the average rider!
18:36 This jump makes my palms sweat like those videos of people climbing cranes or buildings... i have so much respect for you guys, this is just insane
Bro same never have I ever had sweaty palms from watching a video
The amount of vertical distance you could fall on that river jump instantly pushes it from feeling like Hardline to seeming like it's straight out of Rampage, it's absolutely wild.
Matt's POV footage off that lip really highlighted just how kicky it is (or was, sounds like it's getting some adjustments) tpp...it didn't seem as bad from Bernard's POV, but after watching Matt do it I totally get how Jim lost control, seemed like he got bounced off as soon as he hit it. Seems like they could widen the landing quite a bit too, Bernard's angle was slightly off on the launch and he nearly missed the entire thing.
This looks an order of magnitude more dangerous than climbing a crane. Sweaty palms are expected in both cases, though.
ton Blaze me fait trop marrer
Be well Jim you absolute mad lad
I absolutely love that theres no egos,no bullshit.all the boys just looking out for one another. Bernard shouting to Matt "stop stop!" Anytime theres a gap coming up that hasn't been seen. I know the end goal is racing eachother,but the vibe is just awesome
Fairly gnarly drop on the ground: "I'm walking around that, forget that" Seventy foot canyon gap: "Its just a jump"
Thanks for all the great feedback and comments! That was one unexpectedly scary day! Props to Bernard and Jimbo for sending it
Don't forget the props to you as well, so much progress from last year, you're gonna smash it!
How the frig did you not get bucked over the bars. Wild
Jeez must have been one hell of a kick off that lip, looks sharp. Hats off Matt
Hi Matt just wondering how comes you boys don’t wear neck braces do they just get in the way or have you never thought about wearing one?
so much respect dude, you smashed it.
Mindblowing how you came from barely not doing the 90s last year to testing this years gap on par with Bernard!
Agreed... minus the on par w/ BK part.
.
Being the first one (to ever hit a gap) is definitely on another level. But our boy Matt is still murdering it this year.
i freaking love metallica
This is the most stoked I've been on one of your videos, ever. Not ragging your usual content, but seeing you send it like that, knowing you'd done your diligence, made me so happy.
"I just went to ride the bike park", whatever you do, don't go out for "just one drink". Amazing video Matt. So good to watch your vid along with Bernard's, you get to see both of your riding skills.
7:23 "Who built this?!" I couldn't agree more.
Mind. Blown. 💥 So hyped for Red Bull Hardline next weekend 🤘
please install a safety net of some sort... we dont wanna see our favourite riders die
@@comelabautiere9610 Yeah man, it feels fucking dangerous. I mean, no most of these jumps are, but that one seems especially so. Those mats won't do fuck all.
@@danpatterson7108BK said at the very end of his video that they are putting in a safety net
Sounds crazy even to me as a DH racer, but that jump gives me a terrible feeling.. Props to Matt sending that thing as the second rider ever, but should NOT be part of a race run.. Deadly consequences for what ? Not good for the sport to have this sort of thing expected during a race run, first time I have ever felt a sick feeling watching a bike related clip.. Won't be watching live if this feature is included
@@stefanturley2894 My thoughts exactly!!
Matt, gotta say, you guys have some large cahoners. I love how you gave such a raw edit showing yours and the other guys processes to think through sections and even avoid sections, then come back. Soo good as most people think you guys just look and launch.
Super vid and props to you, Bernard and Jim (rest up lad)!
Cojones.
As entertaining as it is , we're kind of pushing the boundaries a bit now aren't we lads . After a major injury in my younger days , a total hip replacement with bone grafts and a titanium rod down my leg , I'm still suffering horrific pain today to the point of being unable to walk occasionally or even Ride , and missing what should have been the best days of my life - Playing adequately with my kids . I'm at the point I cannot afford a full squish bike to make riding tolerable on my body , due to the inability to work consistently with my injury to generate the income - it is horrible . You got to stop at some point and ask the question ; When actually did Downhill or Enduro riding become a Dare Devil competition ? What you guys do is impressive , appreciated and intertaining enough , but is pushing the boundaries for our entertainment really worth the lifelong repercussions when something goes very wrong , on a feature that's Really Not that nessesary ? Just food for thought out of concern for you boys for the long term , you got to think ahead amongst all the adrenaline ! 👍 Great video and Stay safe Matt and the rest of you Lads - (Nutters ! 😁) 🇦🇺
Look at all the other features they are all mental… these guys are professionals taking calculated risks let them cook bro
While I agree with you, I don't think these guys are just doing this to entertain us. I'm sure these madmen have something in them that makes them want to push themselves and the sport as far as they can. But as a fellow member of the titanium leg club I understand your comment. 😅
While i do agree with your sentiments you must understand that adrenaline is the best drug and also 'free'. As an adrenaline junkie into my fifties I admire this pushing the boundaries. Having said that, I am lucky enough to not have that many serious long term repercussions from my past endeavers.
???it's been a daredevil competition since Joe Breeze and Tom Ritchey et al. first shredded Mt. Tam on clunkers. Hiking boots, no helmets or brakes (effectively) at top speed? Sux you got hurt for sure, but normal people dont do enduro and dh. Normal people think green circle xc is gnarly, that's why gravel is so poular these days. It allows you to join the club, so to speak.
As a fellow rider that loves going huge. Very few times have I been anxious watching a video..... Matt and fellow riders/builders.... You are legends!!!
Matt is an absolute beast for that, seems like he has really upped his riding this past year
Totally! He's gone from a precise slope rider to a full on elite big mountain freerider!
Definitely seems like he’s got a bit of confidence back that he lost for a while to me and it’s helping him push things
Sick to see!
rampage next
I was biting my nails the whole gap thing through. One of the best videos I even seen, you really captured the excitement and the experience of being in this amazing group of legend riders !
Matt never ceases to impress me. I believe it was the announcers at the last Red Bull hardline that said Matt is probably one of the best all-around riders in the world. Slopestyle, big air, downhill - just kills it and performs with the top of each style.
My mind is blown. I mean seriously. Just when you think it can’t get any harder. boom it just gets 100% insane. Good luck all who compete and Brilliant Video Matt 🎉
In a genre that's pretty much watered down nowadays and there's little originality, Matt continues to create. I think that's one thing that's overlooked with him. He's a great rider obviously, has a great personality and he's a great businessman, but I think at the heart of it all, he's a great creator. My man is crushing 2024 and somehow it keeps getting better and better!
Matt, after watching you work up to clearing the 90 footers last year and running hardline Tasmania, you’ve earned my respect. But to see you running this new course right behind Bernard and then hitting that insane gap…..my mind is blown! Mad props bro 🤜🤛
I've always had a ton of respect for Matt, not just as a rider, but as a creator, businessman and online personality ... But I agree with you, this past year has been insane and he's clearly leveled up. He's one of the best overall riders in the world right now, and in a TH-cam genre that's clearly on a downturn, he continues to consistently make original and entertaining content. Lockdown was his peak, but IMO his best work by far has been from Darkfest to now.
“Too steep for sheep” 😂 great line Matt. Stay safe and you and all the riders are Legend !!!
Amazing Video. I was living every second of your jump with you as well as holding my breath all the way over. You boys are nuts. Thanks for sharing your moments for those of us too old and not skilled enough to do it ourselves 👍
This is why I love watching Matt jones, me I’d be at the top of the take off for days, rolling up the lip 20 thousand times to then finally say nope not today boys lol! Matt jones on the other hand, sees friend send it, “ok I’ll do it” clean first try too! Matt is an absolute beast and watching his videos is amazing and inspiring!!
Legitimately one of the gnarliest vids ever posted
Fair play Matt!!! I love your honesty on your approach to anything. Those 90 foot jumps are insane as ever and then that canyon gap is the wildest thing ive seen. Especially to jump 2nd. Im glad Jim's ok. Top man!!
Absolute balls of steel Matt! I felt nervous just watching. Insane!! 👏👏
The illusion of safety had me laughing like 5-6 crash mats on the river gap i was thinking yeah if you bail on that the chance's of hitting any of those mats are 0% you have more chance of growing wings and flying to safety lol
Lol 😂
Good thing Matt is sponsored by redbull.
Chances of hitting the mats are way way higher than 0% and absolutely worth the off chance they'll save someone's life. Honestly what was the point of this comment?
I think you'd hit them if you cased and fell, or just fell way short and hit the structure. No way you'd land directly on them though.
Agreed there should be a net ffs
Christ....when you sat at the top of the roll in cleaning your pedals..."it's just a jump in't it" .... I was nervous for you. And as Jim proved....its not just a jump no! Massive brass balls. Legend.
I love how you show us all the thought that goes into hitting something that massive!! Great job, legendary!
My goodness, the first view of you going down the ramp, hearing you touching your brakes really looked like you were going waaaaay too slow..!! I almost closed my eyes maaan!!
But the second view you can obviously see you were still on💪🏼
Way to go!! Big ball,Sir!!!💪🏼❤️🙏🏻👍🏼🚀
Bloody hell Matt. Fair shout for being 2nd in on that gap. BK is a mad man but really knows his game. Fair shout to Jim and hope he will be ok.
Your transition to riding this sort of gnar is amazing. Well done 👍
Mad respect for you guys! Really pleased Jim is OK, that was scary!
I got jelly belly watching it, so much respect guys, just crazy. Amazing what you all do on bikes, completely bonkers, that jump is a beast!
Incredible Matt. Thanks for documenting it.
"If they're flying, we're flying" 🤘🤘🤘
Crazy boys, Mass respect Matt, even more to Bernard what a legendary Guinee and so glad Jims ok, Gnarly bro!
Was crapping myself for you all the whole time.
Hell yes. That's some special stuff. I'm in awe of you all. Thanks for sharing a truly special video.
You know it's gonna be mad when Dyfi is the 'easy' part of the day! Congrats Matt!
Respect to you guys.
Being the first 2 to hit hit it testing it.
That takes some huge balls.
With balls that big how does Bernard and mat sit down
*3
and berr does it with clips lol
dont forget jimbo's balls
Watched this, then watched Bernards Video now back to watch this one again.
Its so crazy! Well done Matthew 🤯
Absolute legend Matthew!!! 👏 And to think you'd never done Dark Fest or Hardline before last year. Hats off to you sir! Bravo!!! 🙌
Wow!!!!!! Helmets off to you boys. Absolutely insane. Stoked for you all 👍👍👍👍👍👍
New phrase for the wildest bits "Too steep for sheep"
Its not new
@@user-ky3qb3jn5n sorry YT police. It's new to me, I've not heard it on this channel before 👍
You’re a mad man! Love watching you go huge on these wild jumps. Keep it up!
That’s insane and so bloody rad!
When y’all were sitting on the ramp discussing it, that’s when I got the fear!
Someone get this boy a fender! Awesome!
12:11 that face of excitement like the train guy 😂🎉
Amazing commitment. I was anxious just watching the 90s before the ravine jump. Well done mate.
Absolutely mental! Stoked to hear you’re making changes to the lip!
I wasnt a fan of some of your earlier vids, but I have to say in the last year or so you have matured and I take my hat off to you, doing those 90+ footers straight off and then the snake river canyon gap, what a great jump you did, takes some balls to be a guinea pig tester. All 3 of you deserve a lot of credit. Glad Jim is ok.
However, I cant see all the HL riders wanting to do that gap without some safety being put in.
Roll on hardline cant wait for next weekend.
Translation: "I wasn't a fan of your videos where you built cool stuff in your backyard, but now that you're risking your life for literal YT views, you have my full interest. Glad it wasn't you that got hurt."
@@SteveTheDiva Translation, steve the twat has no idea why I wasnt keen on the videos a year or two ago, and its got nothing to do with the riskyness content of what he is doing.
@SteveTheDiva you have no idea why I didn't care for his videos a couple of years ago.
Insane man, that was 🔥 Sam Reynolds did say it was too kicky
I never really get anxious seeing the photos of new crazy features you guys hit. Be it a crazy exposed rampage line, darkfest, or the old hardline course or the one from tassie this year but from the moment I first saw the photos of that canyon gap on Gee’s Insta I was nervous for the riders. The radius on that takeoff looks far too tight for the size of the gap and the speed involved. And you could see it when Bernard first hit it that it bucked him. But this is why these features get tested so changes can be made before the event. Props for getting over it so cleanly dude. Healing vibes to Jim as that was literally a nightmare scenario as soon as he hit that compression at the bottom of the roll in. That lad needs to buy a lottery ticket with luck like that. Very keen to see the changes that are made to it and some full runs of the track.
Absolutely MAD nuts!!!! Its great watching you guys!!
It's a shame hardline has moved away from a spectacle that the whole family can watch. There's no way I'm sitting down with my boys to watch that - it's becoming a horror movie. A friend said "I hope guys like Blenki with families draw the line and pull out".. I agree.
Yeah. That concussion at the end really proved it. That's a permanent head injury
I feel like Redbull is intentionally trying to kill the riders at this point.
Fr 😭😭
They weren't even aware of the minimum speed to make it! And no net.
Yeah they should deffo be a net it's like they waiting for someone to die then they will start having some thought of safety but then again redbull that big now they probably have a big pot of money if something goes wrong
Pretty weird comment. People have been doing stunts without backup for a long time.
Wow all of you take a bow incredible, unbelievable courage always pushing the boundaries of what is possible! Thank you 😃🤙
You guys keep pushing the limits of MTB sports. Glad to live in this time where all the great people exists.
Holy shit that was terrifying
that kick is too much short and vertical, i think that is easy to be thrown forward the bike after the ramp, like the last guy.
Simply unbelievable.. you guys are so far ahead and fearless. Just wish you all that you dont risk too much. 🙏 Amazing to watch you guys progressing..
Wow just wow mate amazing so stoked watching that and seeing you clear it!
Matt mate this is insane you flew so well u utter GOD DAM LEGEND 🎉!!!!
the best quote -- it’s just a jump, BALLS OF STEEL lol 😎👍
Bernard just got qualified for Rampage
They both did!
They should get 5s bonus for betatesting the jumps!?
That’s absolutely nuts mate fair play to you!!! Can’t wait for next weekend!
Thoroughly, most entertaining bike vid of the year! Caps off, bravo 👏🏽
Ok ok ok this is 100% brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Hope your mate Jim recovers well. Brilliant video.
Never seen or heard of this wonderful man before.
He is a delight to watch.
Wow, that's insane. Heal well and fast, Jim...kudos to all.
So sick, i love it. The mat to stop you guys says it all 🤣
Huge damn props to Matt going for it but I got to say that Bernard is just one mad lad! He seems to be the one almost always going first and he seems to do it quite damn fearlessly. Just bonkers!
Amazing. Pure freaking amazing. Another superb video
I love living vicariously through you guys.
Insane jump, genuinely no other words to do describe it, i have no clue how you coulr even bring your self to sending it props to Matt, Jimbo and Bernard, fair play
You and BK and Jim are mental!! I honestly don’t know how you sit on a bike with balls that large!! Maximum respect to you all!! 👍👍👍
OMG! That so insane! I have no words for this! Watching the vlog and feeling the fear is crazy! You need balls of steel trying this without the safety net. Hats off!
Insane!!
Well done all who committed to it & get well soon Jim, hope there's no lasting damage ..... Balls of steel!!
You guys are legendary, this is lunacy, definitely a balls of steel moment.
The track gets more complex every year where do you draw the line 🤯, fantastic entertainment and well done you lot 😀🤘🤘
Absolutely bonkers!!
Nice greasin' on those 90's!!
Good to see Gee in the mix!💪
This is absolutely ridiculous. Can’t wait to see it in person!!
wow, great to be on board with you and you guys at this scary track and canyon gap! wow! scary to watch and pure skill and adrenaline to ride
Far out!! That is a crazy jump man, and that bit at the end... huge nerves. Well done to you both!
