It;s a strange sport in the sense that, these guys are competing against each other, but they are like brothers, bound together through the danger of the whole thing, and knowing that one wrong move could really be all she wrote. Nothing but respect for these lads - seriously amazing skill and insane levels of courage.
Mountain biking has most certainly evolved from when I started riding 25 years ago. Bikes back then could not even had a chance to do what these guys do now! Absolutely amazing! Also I remember going to Moab back then when Moab was not on the map. Could get a motel to crash in for $29 bucks a night and ride hard on the trails for days without breaking the bank. Kind of miss those days. Anyhow these new athletes are super awesome to watch!!! Mind blowing the lines they can ride now!
they are, they visit they camp out they travel eat and share their lives, they're part of a group that wants to push the sports even though they compete the biggest competitors are themselves and their own ability to reach that next goal, they thrive off each others accomplishments, i did downhill and surfing your biggest threat is your own mind.
Tom just attempted a front flip on one of the scariest jumps in downhill history! He deserves some huuuuuge respect, I don't want to be mean or anything, Andreus run was awesome, but I don't think he had the coolset run
Paul Hogan True but they weren't just 'a slightly bit slower', Lacondeguy killed it and had to scrub the jumps so hard not to overshoot so he was going a lot faster
As someone who feels super proud every time I successfully complete a blue square single track trail, I can’t even begin to describe how much respect I have for the ability of these athletes.
IF these guys make it through the runs the winners get paid big $ from Red Bull, if they smash themselves into the side of a rock hill they get sent home in a body cast. What a nice gig.
I love the comradre. Genuinely can tell these guys don't wanna see each other get hurt and perform their best. This is why I'm falling in love more and more with this sport. I grew up in South Texas where there's zero mountains. So boxing and football were always my main sports of choice. But ever since I saw my first rampage competition I've been addicted ever since.I'm extremely late to the MTB party but hey at least I'm here now 🤘
In the desert, the best time to ride is after a rain storm. No dust, the track is nice and tackey and you feel connected to the trail. That's been my experience riding in Phoenix.
Bruce B, you don't understand one thing, these guys love what they are doing and they research for the adrenaline, RB gives the best hills so they ride those and they get money. Maybe my English is bad but i understand these guys and i probably ride those hills because DownHill is life!
By far, the X games, Red bull, Nitro circus, Metal Mullisha type guys get all my respect. Any clown with a ball can play football or basketball. Everytime these boys go out, death is truly on the line. They are all super chill, down to earth kids too. If I had it my way I would take the millions from the NFL cry babies and give it to men who can back flick a freaking motorcycle, or a wheel chair over huge ramps. I recognize talent gentlemen. Thanks for all you do!
Smart enough sir, to make money not putting my physical health in jeopardy for the entertainment of others. I am 6'4" bout 255 as of now. Wouldn't have a problem cracking heads. I played football, I would never backflip a motorcycle though. And I take is sir, you are one of those clowns. Enjoy your cream pies and Seltzer water! Much respect to X-games.
you have the body but not the talent. to say that nfl players dont have talent is to say any knucklehead with the size to fit can compete at the physical level that the nfl players do. you try running 4.8 at that size, block aggresively quick and strong defensive linemen while being able to get down the field fast enough to make key blocks for the running back. it may be dangerous but arent the nitro circus people etc. also at a close equal to the damage the nfl players take?
i am a hardcore road cyclist, time trials, road races etc and we like to think we have killer bike skills but these guys are fucking superheroes !! vicariously i dream this stuff. it must feel amazing to pull this off. my hat is off in complete respect !
The narrator trys to make it look like there is strong competition and tension between the riders. But they are such chill dudes, I think everybody wants the others to succeed.
Meanwhile the Red Bull billionaires in their comfy boardroom are smiling at next year's profit growth projections... they don't care about who won event y or z or how many injuries they suffered this season. The brand is KING. Most of you already forgot the names of the riders 2 minutes after seeing the video but their bodies will remember all the crashes & injuries when they hit fifty years old.
youbidoubidou You know they don't do this for the money right? I would do anything to just be able to ride everyday, don't give two shits about the cash.. It's like fynnieboy said, it's their passion
***** They are suckers getting peanuts for risking their lives & limbs while the sponsors rack up the millions. Search web for this as TH-cam won't let me post the link: Show me the money: How action sports stack up against the "Big 4" "Between sponsorships and prize money, most freeriders make $50,000 to $200,000 a year. Compare those modest totals to the multi-million paydays enjoyed by athletes in traditional “stick and ball” sports leagues. Between salary and endorsements, NBA players earned an average $4.9 million in 2014, according to Forbes. The average pay for MLB ($3.82 million), NHL ($2.58 million) and NFL (over $2 million) players dwarfed the annual earnings of all but the top action stars."
youbidoubidou its just an extra. They do it because they love it and its there passion. The money is just an extra and nice but they don't do this sport because of the money.
youbidoubidou In all honesty what gets more attention, downhill mountain biking or football? They can't afford to pay these guys $4.9 million even if its more dangerous.
It's not I think that Andreu's run is bad because it obviously wasn't, but what gets me is how it got a 95.25?!?!?! When Semenuk's run which had more going on, more tricks, drops and flow and he only got a 89.25? Very weird! But they are all awesome!!
Parabenizar a RedBull que sempre ta patrocinando essas competições de bike, mesmo não tendo um público grande eles ta sempre prestigiando esses guerreiros das duas rodas. Congratulate a RedBull that always sponsors these bike competitions, even if they don't have a large audience, they are always there honoring these two-wheeled warriors.

ouuhhh thats so cool) I ride cross-country for a half a year) I have never intrested in bike before) but this is amazing)very cool riders respect to all of you))
Doing hardcore sports will be tolling on their bodies later in life. I raced motor cross and mountain bikes in my teens, twenties and even into my thirties. I'm now 48 and still ride, but no more racing. All the broken bones have huge calcium build up on them and they fucking HURT. Hands are the worst. Wear more safety gear boys and girls. Wear more gear!!!
+Roland Peltier I actually just tried the oil last month. It's ok, but think I need a slightly stronger dose. So a buddy found a weed (Ratchet) that does not get you high, but works good for pain. Little better. It's not constant pain, but bad weather, rain...yeah the joints seize up a little. Sun is finally out...time to gear up and ride.
I just imagine redbull just sitting around a table P1: soooooo, you guys know about that canyon? Everyone: yeah? What about it? P1: what if we road a bike down it P2: John did you take your pills this morning?
That frnt flip took first place. You cant say it didnt. Jus imagine the fukn balls it took to tell hiself he was gonna frnt flip the canyon. PROPS your the man
Doper Armstrong made millions peddling a road bike and these guys are making much much less...amazing how this gives people chills while the the Tour De France puts me to sleep...YOU GUYS ARE INNOVATORS AND HAVE CREATED A WORLD RESPECTED SPORT!
If that was all there was there would be no winner. Every single one of these guys can make it down the easiest line without wrecking. There's a lot more to it than that. You can certainly lose points by crashing though.
Chris Babb if i am not wrong its by speed amplitude fluidity tricks and line difficulty the reason why andreu won was because he had speed one trick he was smooth and had probably the gnarliest line of all
Anybody else notice that most people who do extreme sports are good looking ? Every video, no matter whether its bikes, skates, wingsuits, rock climbing, anything, most men and women are super attractive. Is that a coincidence or the fact that the more attractive they are, the more confidence these people have to take up sports like that in the first place ? Just wondering. Fascinates me. For the record, I jump out of bed every morning. Scary man.

Tricks aren't everything.
Gorideyurbike Exactly, it's not just a freestyle event, speed counts as well. I'm glad other people realise that :)
Paul Hogan True but they weren't just 'a slightly bit slower', Lacondeguy killed it and had to scrub the jumps so hard not to overshoot so he was going a lot faster
coolness is subjective. Lacondeguy's run was objectively the best.
Gorideyurbike that front flip was everything
I watch this every year or so and the fear in these guys is just incredible.. really pushing it to the limits of what we as humans can do on bikes.
This is the power of full send
Immense respect for Andreu and his passion for competition.
the positive energy is amazing
True, true, true.
As someone who feels super proud every time I successfully complete a blue square single track trail, I can’t even begin to describe how much respect I have for the ability of these athletes.
This was recommended to me 6 years later from when it was first posted
Same 🤯😂
Same 😂
IF these guys make it through the runs the winners get paid big $ from Red Bull, if they smash themselves into the side of a rock hill they get sent home in a body cast. What a nice gig.
The degree of difficulty in this sport far outweighs alot of sports out there. You have to respect these cats.👊😎🤙
The drop into that canyon gap is RUGGED. Super balls to even attempt that front flip. Winner in my book. Balls dude, huge balls.
Immense respect for the guts these riders have. Dropping in from some of these edges takes real skill and guts.
Injuries are common and can be nasty.
Even the ramps or drops that look small on film are huge. I can't imagine the huge ones. All of them are extremely brave and talented
That front flip tho. How the hell do you talk yourself into that madness? YUGE
Yuge...

Brakes are the best thing to happen to bikes- not because they stop you, because you can fiddle with them when your nervous.
Why does the winner pop a champagne bottle at the end instead of a Red Bull?
Cause Red bull won't pop. :D
I skate and I have to agree that this is gnarly as hell
Is this about speed or about doing tricks like flips etc.? I just don't understand on what they get their points...
Speed, height, distance, tricks, line difficulty etc. Tricks are scored but not as important as in other events.
If that was all there was there would be no winner. Every single one of these guys can make it down the easiest line without wrecking. There's a lot more to it than that. You can certainly lose points by crashing though.
Chris Babb if i am not wrong its by speed amplitude fluidity tricks and line difficulty the reason why andreu won was because he had speed one trick he was smooth and had probably the gnarliest line of all
