And watch the previous video about helmets...
@@remymetailler yeah that's certainly called your bluff there eh! Could have been worse that jaw protection could have easily failed on a full face at that impact there not motor grade and most probably just on the edge of the acceptance
next video title : The reason Why I prefer riding in a full face Helmet...
Beat me to it
He was literally just saying that in the last video when he was at specialized 🤦🏻♂️ You waited too long my dude!
Best comment I have ever seen 😅
Nah
Lol
That's what I like about Remy: Owning his mistakes, showing both wins and fails.
Plus, a very positive and nice person.
I'm pretty sure most mountain bikers show the fails they get on camera, it is very directly part of the sport as far as i've seen. Poor jordan got messed up on whistler the opening weekend and he's gotten really lucky, 5 ribs, a messed up lung and bruised kidney and liver. The MoFo got back home after only two days on the hospital, dude's made out of steel. It was a really similar crash to the one on this video except he hit the tree directly instead of with the bars
Thank you for sharing, for transparency, and helping any rider to become a better one.
Took the words straight out of my mind, this comment deserves more likes ;)
6 weeks removed from fracturing my clavicle and rotator cuff and Remy’s breakdown and analysis is super helpful …and rings some bells…🤟🚵♂️
Man Remy, really glad you are ok. Thank you for making this video. You are a fantastic ambassador and mentor for this sport. I appreciate you and all of your videos because of your positivity and incredible abilities. Recover well brother.
Thank you, I will
I think you could show the damaged helmet, how it saved your head from a serious injury. Thanks for the video, get well soon!
4:45
It’s always complacency that gets us all, from noob to pro.
glad you're ok, rémy. thanks for showing us that even great riders can make mistakes and it's not just us.
I appreciate that!
Agree ! Thank you Remy, you exemplify humility and are a great role model for riders
Man I know exactly this feeling because it happened to me 8 weeks ago. Went down a rock roll and slipped on a root after, which made me smack into a small tree. All of my weight and momentum went into my ulna, which of course, broke it. Was two weeks before our Madeira trip so had to cancel. It's a part of the sport you have to accept happens sometimes! Thanks for showing this side of the sport and helping people ride more consciously, Remy!
I'm so relieved that you are ok Remi, It just shows what can happen in a split second to one of the best riders on the planet !!! You are so professional, so very talented, an awesome rider & a true gentleman, love your channel ! If I came back over to Canada I would love some coaching from yourself, I know this is not probably possible but it would be lovely !! 100% respect from me & as I said I'm so glad that you are ok & fully on the mend., I have been riding for many years & truly love my MTB & going back to Ski teaching next winter (Canadian qualified(Level 2 )
The tree has a new name “Remy tree”. Get well soon bud. All the best.
Damn! That was a straight shot to that tree. Glad you are OK...A combination of very lucky and possibly your experience as a rider. Wish you a speedy recovery.
I'm really glad that you're doing well!
And thanks for the close-up impressions.
I have my own rule for wearing helmets: if there are proper jumps, drops or roots, then I wear a full-face helmet.
I didn't follow this rule once and almost paid for it with my teeth.
Been waiting for this since the short 🤘 Glad you’re ok (enough) to ride another day!
Sir, You are definitely Old school ; You have manned up to what went wrong, while expertly and calmly showing us what not to do, so that we could stay Safe, thank you! Godspeed.
Bro as unhuman as you seem sometimes, being human happens to all of us. Sooo so glad you are ok and can walk away from this! You are an incredible rider and an inspiration to so many! This just proves that everyone should pre-ride, re-ride and free-ride. The trails there look absolutely amazing. And I'm sure soon enough you be back there again to give the trails a proper shred. To one of the best creators, thanks for keeping it real and here's to healing. 🤙🏽
What a gorgeous place. Hope you heal quickly.
Hi Remy, I have been watching your videos for a few years now, I really respect your attitude towards the sport and I find you a constant source of inspiration to keep riding even after I get the fear into me after big crashes. I hope you recover quickly and and can enjoy the rest of your trip. I hope to ride with you one day. Much love Brother.
Well shared! so important for us mere mortals to see the behind the scenes preparation, risk calculation and, ultimately how even the best in the world can end up on the wrong side of it. Easy to forget this when I focus on the highlight reels! Remy is an incredible rider!
Remy I wish you a speedy recovery thank God it didn't end worse
Glad you’re OK and thanks for posting. Such good learning for us all
Thanks for watching!
Hey Remy, thank you for uploading this. I would rate you as one of the most skilled riders on the planet, and I think so would your peers, so this video serves as a great reminder to take safety seriously as even the top guys can come unstuck from time to time. Following your advice and example over the last few years has made me a safer, and faster rider and I ALWAYS check the track first now if it is unfamiliar tech.
Gulley looks back to form after the broken leg. Thank goodness you are on your feet and back on the bike. This part of the sport sometimes, even when you know the trail.
Despite the crash, this is an amazing video - what gorgeous country up there! Thanks for taking us to Norway 🙂
So happy no major injuries 🎉🎉. Place looks absolutely amazing 😊
Glad your not seriously injured. Kudos for posting and showing that it goes wrong sometimes
Oh man, watched that through my fingers. So glad you're okay. I've implemented so many of your tactics... I'm braver and safer. Looking forward to next year's Norway footage.
Wow, that was a solid hit. Thank you for posting because it was a good reminder about being vigilant and careful.
Another great video, I'm glad you ended up being OK. I learned a lot from hitting a tree in Downieville 10 years ago. New bike, unfamiliar trail, I was going fast and pulled up hard off a small jump. I over-cleared and landed in loose dirt on the side of the trail and was unable to slow down in time. Broke my clavicle and scapula and had a long walk back to town. I relate to how fast that went wrong for you and how scary it was. I have taken away many good lessons from your videos, this one included. Take care!
Remy hope your ok after what looked a painfull off. I am so pleased you accepted it was rider error rather than trying to blame something else. it just goes to show even top pro's get it wrong. keep up the great work and sharing the love of mtbing
happy you're ok Remy, and we could learn from you a lot also to recognize our mistakes.
Glad ur ok RM. Wishing u a quick and full recovery.
Hey Remy, I hope you heal fast. Thank you for sharing so that everyone understands even pros have crashes. I hope your teeth are ok, if not I practice in Seattle and would be glad to help.
Hi Remy, the bike and go pro are just items. They can be replaced. There is only 1 Remy. This could have ended more bad. You are a big inspiration to me and so so many others. Thank you for also sharing this video.
I wish you a good and fast recovery.
All the best
Greetings from the Netherlands William
William 😎
Glad you're ok. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
That could easily have been a career ender and you were extremely lucky you literally walked away from that one on your won feet. Glad it turned out like this Remy! And watching the footage 99,9% of riders would not have walked away. You still retained a certain level of control during a potentially catastrophic crash and managed to just edge your head right of the tree and using your stem as kind of a ram to get you past the tree.The reaction may have been subconcious but it saved your life! Apart from that an awesome place to ride! And I'm with you on the Norrona stuff, use it for years, especiall in winter and love it!
What led up to this I have seen many times, others any myself do. You get into such a hyper mood on a trail you are not familiar with. That you forget safety and what can go wrong. It feels amazing until something happens. And it''s always when with others - as they help get that stoke mode going. Of course we should ride with others and get stoked - it's awesome. But we must calm ourselves down and remember the dangers. Sometimes get the odd warning you are overcooking it, but often not! Here when you did it on your own, that was a big step up in risk. Now following experienced riders of that trail. You were having such a great time you forgot that. We need to maybe set an alarm to beep every 20 mins to remind us to take stock of risks! And think before each ride what each risk could be for that.
This was excruciating to watch. Ouchers. Glad you are OK. Thanks for passing your skills along to others and for the the interesting video.
Zut alors Rémy! Thank you for sharing this, you are an exceptional rider and hearing your story about risk management really helps us average riders! I took a spill once going slow, on a trail I'd ridden 100 times, went over the bars, I was wearing a full face helmet, just missed my eye and ended up with two deep gashes on my face from a big sharp rock! It's a technical line but I never expected that, and luckily I was with my friend who carried my bike out, I had to hold pressure to keep from bleeding all over, that was the longest mile walk in my life. That was by far the worst spill I've taken, it wasn't on the fastest or most difficult lines, it wasn't a jump or a drop, I'm a careful rider - it was the second bike spill in my life, I took my own training wheels off when I was 4 haha There is risk in our sport, and it's great to get advice from the best Rémy : ) This is my favorite MTB channel, Merci Beaucoup Rémy
Glad it wasn't worse Remy. It is amazing how fast things can go sideways. Heal up and keep making great vids. Love the channel.
Possibly the best intro to a bike video I have ever seen!
Fast recovery wish you mate ! Keep going 🖤🤘🤘.
Get well soon! I completly understand about jetlag/sleep/being tired. For me, it's much worse than being drunk
All my nasty falls, had all that same issue.
Stopped riding when tired/fatigue/no sleep/jetlag, and things transformed to really positive riding
Cool to see you and Geoff shred some norwegian trails.
Mate...that was bruuuuuutal!!. Commented it on instagram already. Glad u r alright after such a huge slam! 🙏🙏fair play u were f***** lucky!
Glad your good Remy. Heal up, Lost a brother hitting a tree a month ago. We do not need to lose any more.
Glad you're bounced right back scary for sure! Moment of impact, thoughts creeps up and then you realized you're okay :). Happy riding, Salut!
Props for keeping it real and sharing the lowlights as well
This style of riding and trails is what mtb is all about to me. That's why I love your channel. I wish I could get back on the bike but have a concussion that refuses to heal. Maybe next year 😅. I hope you wear full face moving forward!
Thanks for this great video, this place looks amazing. Glad you're OK (so does the tree 😅), and thanks for showing and explaining how crashes can happen to anyone and how to analyse them.
Glad your okay again, also love the fact that your head was clear enough to go right into why and what happened in that crash
I’ve had this exact same crash and felt it for weeks. Even broke the same brake. It changed the way I ride by not sending it before scouting. Glad you’re ok
All the Remy videos I've watched and I don't think I've ever seen him crash (not that I remember anyway)... Still, Remy is a machine!!! The man is a legend!
I just fell off my BMX on asphalt trying to manual. Fell straight back and dropped hard on my ass. I’m 54. It felt brutal. But it was the shame that really stung. I know better than to do that. I shouldn’t be riding a BMX at my age… all the negative self talk. It means a lot to see somebody like Remy make a mistake and use it as a way to talk about risk management.
Man I did not see that coming, I'm so glad you are not seriously injured.You are an amazing rider.
Get well soon! Ride with protection and safely.
I swear, I always learn so much from Remy. Even his mistakes turn into a classroom for us 😂. Stay up loco! 🤘🏽
Good point about the camel back. Lot's of people changing to fanny packs these days, but I like the protection of something on my back. If you end up on your back from a fall, the last thing you want is sharp rock or stick poking you on your spine. Good backpacks (I have a Dakine) keep the pack separated from your back with a ventilation space. If I'm low on water and there isn't much else in your bag I blow some air into the bladder, to give me protection in case of a fall.
Hope you get well soon!!
Glad youre all good, great post crash synopsis without ego. Legend!
Ouch! 😱😬🤕 Bro, I love your videos because of your awesome riding and cool demeanor you always have, but if I'm being totally honest, I often feel my sphincter clench watching you hit some of the gnarly features you do. That was such an epic crash that I seized up when you hit that tree. Remy, get well soon bro and hope nothing is permanently damaged other than the phone. Hope to see you riding again happy and well soon. And big props to all the other riders that came to assist you. Love the mountain biking community for stuff like that. ❤️👍🚵
Wow, that was a hellish impact! Thank goodness your neck didn't snap! Brutal.
SO glad that you were to sort of walk away from that one. Take good care RemDog!
You're such a mentally strong person Remy. Positive and humble too.
And man, those mountains are spectacular. The MTB community in Norway did a great job. 👍🏼
Happens to the best of us bro! Glad you walked away from it as you did! I've done exactly the same thing and ended my biking for 15 years till this year I went and got a new emtb! I smashed my collar bone in 3 and shot abit through the skin, ripped my arm muscle off the bone and dislocated my right shoulder! I tried mtb a few times but arm kept popping out when pulled front up! It was like a cartoon in my mine thinking my arms still on the bars😂 I have it pinned now so fingers crossed this years a new adventure!
Thanks for sharing this video and like everyone else says you're such a positive person and a great ambassador for Maintain biking!! here is great reason to always where a Full face helmet!!
Glad you are OK!
Remy is a real one for publishing this.
Super glad you're okay, mistakes happen to everyone don't beat yourself up. Count your blessings and learn from mistakes is what I always tell people.
That was horrible Remy! You were really lucky really as it could have been so much worse! Please remember you are only human and when we fuck up we learn not to, and excel, sorry you had to go through this and hope you feel less sore soon! because that was a hell of an impact!💥👍😁👌
I"m so glad you are ok and were able to walk away from that... it could be been so much worse. Stay safe out there Remy!
Glad to see you are ok. Great video.
Crazy crash to just walk away from. Glad you’re alright! Love the bounce back!
That tree has a Rémy scar now. Glad you survived that and can continue shredding on in the future.
Hell of a place to plant a tree! Glad you avoided any major injury.
Bon rétablissement et merci pour toutes tes vidéos 👍🏽💪🏽.
I hope you get better soon Remy!
Glad you’re okay, could have been way worse. Always great when you can ride another day, thanks for sharing the bad along with the good.
Glad to see you ok after that incident! I know you are a pro rider but please be safe out there so you can keep making awesome videos.
glad youre ok Remy, rest up and get back at it. live and learn dude. all good. be grateful.
Oh damn! Remy is mortal!
So glad youre ok Remy!
I say this with love: complacency has killed more pilots than any enemy.
I’ve been mountain biking for 35 years, and in all that time my worst accidents were ones just like this. A moment of overconfidence, a dash of hubris, and a pinch of ‘GoPro Gusto’ and VOILA’! Bad crash. I’m VERY happy you are ok and that you’ll walk away from this one. Please be sure to write down what you learned, as it’s easy to forget (ask me how I know! 😂)
My worst crash (so far) was someone filming me on a jump I'd hit a 100 times. Completely not focused, overshot it to flat nose down, OTB. Incredibly only scrapes. That made me decide showing off on footage is something I dont need in my riding.
Good thing you got away with minor injuries and some destroyed equipment only - when trees grab you, it can end badly.
Makes for a great PSA though. I really suck at riding new tracks blind and it takes me many laps to get up to speed. Some are just better at that, but others try to force it. To see that this can happen to an exceptional rider can serve as a reminder and warning for all of us less gifted riders to sight before ride and when we arent on our A-game, tone it down.
Glad that you came out of that get-off without any serious injuries. Second - that food looks AMAZING.
Norway! Looks amazing... Adding it to my list! Thanks G! ;)
Get well soon, Remy.
F man. Glad you are ok. Happens to all of us. Get well soon. Sometimes these things help us get back and be even better. 💪💪💪
Interesting post-crash analysis, and it will serve as a reminder to me. Thank you for sharing.
Gully keeping it calm and rolling!
Get well soon Rémy!!
Glad you're okay brother! It was clear you learned from it as soon as you realized you were okay.
Holy shit, hard impact. Hope you recover soon and are not not injured to seriously. Your face is looking pretty bad. Oh man, wishing you the best. Regards from Germany🤙
Remy, wow you have to slow down on uncharted territory.
The drop was a bad situation. Glad you were not broken.
Take care and stay well
At 21:00 - I would normally not associate myself with what or how Remy is doing something (far beyond my level, no questions asked), but this particular moment reminds me of myself indeed when ..30 or so years ago, I also stopped in almost slow-motion on the front wheel and fell over. So slow in fact, that my sunglasses slipped of my nose first, right below me and when I had to capture my fall while going head over and stop myself in an almost hand-stand position - I literally crushed my sunglasses with my own right hand (and ended up with its glass in my palm). I could watch it while it happened. Weird.
Great ride though - Norway is indeed awesome. Visited it 3 weeks last year and was amazed by the different types of vegetation in relatively short distances. So beautiful!
You are my TH-cam mentor 😁. It's good that you are well. Norway looks amazing. Greetings from Mexico.
Crashing happens, even to the best of us. We all have off days. Props for recognizing where the fault lays. Most wouldn’t do that and would find fault elsewhere. Heal up.
Hope for good recover Rémy ! I'm glad you're kinda ok...
Even the BEST make mistakes. Glad too see you're good!! That was rally serious...
Great humility. Be well.
just glad youre ok bro!
