I know people that can absolutely shred a bike in the woods when they have no pressure but if you add a major sponsor and enrol them in race circuits they would crumble, the expectation and pressure would strip them of there skills in a heart beat. I know this because that was me. Racing at this level takes way more than just being to handle a bike fast down a hill. Anyone winning races at this level are superhuman or pretty close to it. Downhill is a special kind of beast. Good luck Richie.
DUUUUUDE SOOOOO GOOD!!!! I had the immense pleasure of watching Richie race at Mt Snow when I first got into mountain biking back in 2010. I think he was only 15 if I remember right but EVERYONE was talking about that kid. I congratulated him and I just knew I would be seeing much more of RUDE BOY!!!!!!!! Outstanding
I re-discovered downhill biking for me at age of 38 after a lifecrysis. I can empathize the emotion in that video, cause I never felt that free when riding. Watching this gives me goosebumps.
Yeti history runs deep ! QUESTION ? Who’s your favorite ? Who’s the most bad-ass Yeti racer of all time..!?! Today Richie certainly is at the tip of the spear. Remember Tomac, Missy,Miles Rockwell even Gwinn. ? A huge nod to John Parker, Chris Herting and LEGEND F.T.W. Frank “the welder” Wadelton) Back in the day Yeti’s were the shit and cooler than free beer. However my vote goes to my best friend, cycling phenom- one whom has given more than anyone…. Kenny “Haggar” Foraker Hit by a drunk driver in ‘86 losing his left leg and still just simply SHREDS ! How shreddy ? He was signed as their factory D.H.er in ‘93 with yes one leg !!! Go Richie ! Kick-ass sea-bass.. but remember if Haggar had 2 legs everyone else would be racing for second.
Wow amazing. I wish I could ride like that or at all really. I purchased a YT Capra and it broke almost immediately so I haven’t had a bike in months. I wish that I bought a bike from a company like Yeti. Smoke those weirdo clowns over at YT for me!!!

True that !
Really awesome to see Jared in this video. Sooo stoked to see him recovered from kicking cancer's ass.
“Mom makes banana bread, ya know , just kinda hang out “ love it haha banger of a vid
Thanks for including us in the video. We had a blast!
god, the shots in north shore are just *chef kiss* - Gotta make some of those wallpapers.
RICHIE is like Kobe Bryant from MTB world. A guy with precise skill and a cold mentality dedicated all passion and energy to racing
Love all the footage in North Conway, NH where I live and ride. Awesome video.
Incredible looking place.
yep...great spot
Got goosebumps during the whole video. Richie you are a huge inspiration, can't wait to cheer you up in a DH WC.
What do you mean to cheer him up on a dh wc ?
@@DarkKnight0183 cause maybe with the new dh bike he'll try to do some downhill world cups,
@@geiar7079 Yeah, I just googled Yeti dh bike and found that they have a new prototype of a true dh bike, not the sb165 with double crown fork
@@DarkKnight0183 yeah, you can seen it in action in the video
As long as he drinks from his bottle...
whoever colorgraded the last bit needs a big raise!!
This was surprisingly very grounding. I think we forget sometimes that we just all love to ride.. very humanizing edit I loved it!
Richie against Sam Hill in DH 🔥
Super lovely.... Yeti keeps stretching my imagination
What a video!! And the landscape!!
Richie is a legend! NEW DH bike looks dialed already.. 100% stunner of a bike
I love my YETI :)
Richie is the GOAT
Connecticut checking in... we love our hometown boy!
The world in eyes of the beholder, for sure dude 🤔👌🏾👍🏾😊
So clean. Listen 🌍
Dude that new Sb160 looks so nice and i want it so bad! Unfortunately i already sold a kidney for my current sled.
очень красивое видео😍🤩 good video🤗
Richie always has the sickest kit to match perfect with his speed and style.

Met Jared Graves in 2012.Didnt realize he had Cancer.Glad he pulled thru.Lost my dad this yr to it.
I re-discovered downhill biking for me at age of 38 after a lifecrysis. I can empathize the emotion in that video, cause I never felt that free when riding.
Watching this gives me goosebumps.
This is THE absolutely masterpiece! Thanks!
Racing is rarely all that fun. No pressure free ride days is where the fun is.
Such an amazing time at Lincoln woods 🙌
That is a beautiful film, love love the colours and framing.
This was awesome! I was expecting a shredit, but was happy to get some insight into what makes Richie tick.
could watch Richie ride all day long. dude is a beast! Really hope to see him in some WC DH Races!
Richie is FOR SURE one of my favorite riders! So much talent!
Yeti bikes = Art of bike
The color grading on this video is phenomenal. Love the flow with backstory just as much as the shredding. Great video and top notch riding.
Please about time for a film, please 😊🙏🏾
Very good and inspirational video documentary.....!
You’re the Pick for 2023 my friend! Go F’n get’um
Legend 🖤
Great ! Richie , I wish you the best!
Sick edit🤙 Can't wait for this next season! 3x World Champ, here we come!
Nice fella and rides a yeti.....double bonus
What a great video
Stellar. And I’m sorry, did we just see a Yeti DH prototype???
Maybe, or it might be debadged and decal stripped other brand's bike.
@@MikemoRides Thinking the same thing. No switch infinity and the shock angle. Who knows, maybe it’s a Yeti boi.
Yes yes you did. One off bike use for him I’d say.
@@MikemoRides it's a yeti. They have limited info about in under "special projects" on their website
What an awesome video, can’t wait for more
Man that is one of the best videos I seen in a while! Richie fu*king rips
Looking forward to this season!
When can we expect to see that DH bike on the market? 😍🔥
Such a great video 👏
He whipped a rock roll ya’ll. 😳
Awesome.. 🦾
Nice vid. Richie seems always a little unapproachable, but this vid shows opposite!great camera views and sexy trails!
Very good content
I need more info on that DH bike!!!!
Enduro bike
Prob sb165
Amazing video
The beast from the Northeast 🤘
Brilliant.
Yeti history runs deep !
QUESTION ?
Who’s your favorite ?
Who’s the most bad-ass Yeti racer of all time..!?!
Today Richie certainly is at the tip of the spear.
Remember Tomac, Missy,Miles Rockwell even Gwinn. ? A huge nod to John Parker, Chris Herting and LEGEND F.T.W. Frank “the welder” Wadelton)
Back in the day Yeti’s were the shit and cooler than free beer.
However my vote goes to my best friend, cycling phenom-
one whom has given more than anyone….
Kenny “Haggar” Foraker
Hit by a drunk driver in ‘86 losing his left leg and still just simply SHREDS !
How shreddy ? He was signed as their factory D.H.er in ‘93 with yes one leg !!!
Go Richie ! Kick-ass sea-bass.. but remember if Haggar had 2 legs everyone else would be racing for second.
Rude v Hill v Bruni v Goldstone. 2023 DH will be all time.
Awesome video
Wouw is he going to race DH too with a prototype Yeti DH bike ..... spicy!!!
So good
Bro making the chunky look like a day on the pump track 😩😂🔥👌
Let's go!!!!
Animal!
Anytime, you can avoid punching a clock from 9 to 5 doing something you enjoy AND making a living….THATS CALLED WINNING IN LIFE.
100% dude!! ❤
Epic vid 👌
Nice
Shard love for Farts 😆 Never fails to unite men of all ages and walks of life !
Please can you ship over to the uk some of those race jerseys please
w feature
only clip I cared about was you riding your top cap like a g
Best handlebar rider out there 🎉
I wanna see Richie race a DH world cup so bad
For the intro segment, is that Cathedral ledge and North Conway, NH?
Brooo please put Richie in some WC.. that would be sick.
hey about 2 minutes in where are you riding at??? im also in ct
Any other New Englanders momentarily confused when the “North Shore” title popped up? I was ready for some Lynn Woods for a split second.
It would be nice if they could have these bikes for rental at dyfi bike park.
Fuck yeah Richie another world champs!
Wow
Where is this trail system??
cool
this guy on a downhill bike !!
Which bike was that?
Is the red bull team helmets you are wearing available for sale? they look great
Pro athletes only.
Did y’all hire Hans Zimmer? 😂😂👌
Dh bike looks hot as
Why didn't he stick to World Cup DH RACING?Heard he was Good.
Whatever the outcome, Richie is always the guy to beat. Love to see a DH run this year.
Nice 🤤
524 takes later. Next time, consider throwing some leaves over the fresh ruts.
2023 worldchampion,
What is Ray up to these days? Clearly still finding time to get some air miles in!
👍
👌🔥👍
Wow amazing. I wish I could ride like that or at all really. I purchased a YT Capra and it broke almost immediately so I haven’t had a bike in months. I wish that I bought a bike from a company like Yeti.
Smoke those weirdo clowns over at YT for me!!!
what broke? frame?
If only your prices were affordable
Please give me a yeti cycle this is my dream
Rude AF \m/
I always love watching Richie Rude content. However, they couldn’t help themselves and jammed in a some E-bike content towards the end…🤦🏼♂️🤷🏻♂️
Wow, rude.
water bottle
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
