you can do anything you have a desire for. its seems difficult because u dont have the desire to do it. it's scary for me too because i know i don't have a passion for riding mtbs
You young riders ( i'm 77) have no idea how skilled you are compared to when MT, biking first started ,back in the days of the invention of the Mt. bike in Marin county calif. we NEVER imagined it was possible what is being done today .
Didn't you boomer kids just use old-timey road bikes and just throw yourself down sketchy fire roads up in the hills? Kids probably got messed up with injuries etc, but all the innovations that came from kids just trying anything to see what happens is why we have everything as is today. Props!
we used mostly cruisers /clunkers , like for example , a schwinn doubly top tube bike which was very popular in the late fifties . the brakes were coaster/reverse pedal . stopping took forever 😂
It’s the progress and gear. You guys arguably had more guts because you hadn’t seen people demonstrate what was possible yet, and gear was far from smooth or forgiving.
i think the "guts" thing is the same in every generation . We did ceremonies to the elementals and the local Gods at the top, to assist us in stopping .😂
I've been watching your videos a lot lately. I've been focused on work and getting life sorted out that I've put cycling on the back burner. I'm looking forward to getting my bike up and running and hitting the local trails. Thanks for keeping the spark alive.
I recently went to winterberg with a couple of friend coming from the west side of the netherlands. Pretty much zero downhill there. It is just insane how much you can progress in a well build bikepark in 2 days. I even did the roadgap which is like 5 times bigger than the drops i did before. Amazing video.
Three hours in that park, 5 days in the St. Franziskus Hospital, clavicle broken in three, emergency surgery, titanium plate with 7 screws, a broken rib and the worst of all, two injured ribs + the hospital cold, coughing is the worst of all. Anyway, it was my fault.
Awesome video man! I got a friend who trail races and works as a mechanic at a bike shop. he’s walkin me through the basics right now at tiny, learner bike parks, so it’s always a treat to see someone braving out the extreme trails like these. Cheers and keep up the awesome content!
Your purpose for posting these videos have served well! I'm 43 now and needed to find something to keep me fit and to build up some muscle since I've lost some from amphetamine use over the years. Not heavy drug use, but since I'm getting old I feel the need to both get more fit and have some more thrilling action at the same time. I also need to meet people and get away from home. I'm usually a lonewolf and stay home most time by myself but I feel the urge to out there now! Usually I just ride my longboards or drive my motorcycle, but I'm gonna give this a try, nothing fancy or expensive to begin with. Just a used bike with suspension. I started out with motorcycles as age 7 and also some mtb in my teens but motocross got too expensive and a lot of other things in life took over. Worked as motorcycle courier year around so I got some good backbone and muscle memory. Thanks for the inspiration man!
10:45 man I laughed at that part. Something about coming across a part you’re not expecting is something I can relate to. Really great video, great skill as well.
Thanks for the insight into the Winterberg Bike Park! I don't ride mountainbikes myself, but pass through Winterberg a couple times every year on my motorbike. Always see loads of mountainbikers there enjoying themselves and I always wondered what exactly they're doing there... now I know. Looks pretty amazing to me, and I know I'd be a #1 candidate for the rescue helicopter if I ever tried this myself... 😂 So I guess I'll stick with the summer toboggan and ziplines when I go there...
Me and the boys went here in '11 and called it the broke back brake tour.... I broke my back brake. As did you. If youre going to Winterberg take some brake spares 😂 great commentary. Really enjoyed being your passenger.
I'm dumbfounded how far mtn. bikes have come. I started on a hardtail Ross Mt. Whitney and that was back when all anyone had was the ubiquitous Specialized Stumpjumper. Thanks for taking us along. Great ride! 🫡
Makes my wrists & ankles ache just watching now @45 .. & my neck, & my back lol.. a lot of physical involved in that. You slept good that nite I imagine 😁
Wow! Just ran into your channel and those bike trails are amazing! Looks scary but for you it's probably nothing but thanks for sharing! It's beautiful and so cool!
i love mountian biking. Been doing it all the time here in America and we are going back to germany soon so its great to see this place and all the trails. Have heard of the bike park before and hope that I will get to riding it sometime. This looks right up my alley!
I don't think they did that on puropse... Climate Change is killing all the Spruce trees in Germany right now. Last years spring we had two storms back to back - after that you could hear chainsaws literally for weeks, cutting up all the fallen trees.
the trees died due to bark beetles, tehy all died on their own, there were some hills in Germany with all dead trees, it's now growing back slowly, and it's not just firs anymore
@@BioshynYeah, that's the good part. Monocultures are finally being replaces with mixed forests again. Shame that it took bark beetle infestations for that to happen
@trailbuilder5789 yes, those problems are extreme due to the monocultures of fast growing alpine trees, but not exclusive to Germany. Climate change will destroy many forests around the world.
⛰ *Sick ride!* Love the woody paths toward the end of the video. Thank you for filming your rides and sharing; please keep making this awesome content! _Btw, what are those fake-looking tree stumps sticking up around the __6:40__ marker?_
I life in Winterberg. Its never getting boring. But you cant imagine how much people land in the hospital after some trails. You have to visit DirtMasters Festival in Winterberg.
Hadn't seen your sht before, watched the whole thing, really enjoyable my man. Idk why but really tired of MTB-pov stuff in general but this was nice. ✌
Holy shit, the new lines in Winterberg look AWESOME. Looks like I need to finally get some new brakes on my bike so I can run these with more confidence than I've done in the past.
i didn't know that there's a place like that near me just 1 hour buy car. awesome ..i will visit for sure and i am so excited to ride my bike there. thnx man for that. really i am thankful. and really nice video
looks sick definitely a new place to go on my bucket list! and also you got any news on the downhill bike you hinted at or you off that thought now?? much love keep it up
I live in San Francisco, just across the GG bridge from "the birthplace of mountain biking " (Mt. Tamalpais) and the location of the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame (Fairfax) . . . And yet STILL we have absolutely ZERO lift servivces available anywhere nearby. Nor do we have any trails that are even CLOSE to being as well made or as well maintained as these . . . Its NOT fair. We got Joaquin Miller Park in East Bay, El Corte de Madera Creek Preserve in the Penninsula, and Annadel State Park up in Santa Rosa. If you have a car (most of us in SF dont) or can talk a riding buddy that has one into taking the trip, you got Santa Cruz about 90min drive South and Auburn a little over two hours to the East with Downieville right after Auburn . . . NONE of them have ANY lift service of any kind whatsoever. Youre lucky and blessed German riders
These make me so tense but I love watching them from your point of view. I have no idea how you can think so fast. Id be busy dying 100 different ways. Lol.
This is sick I just have some questions. How do you guys not slide out when taking a sharp turns on dirt? If you do end up taking a bad spill, how do you get help? Like if you broke your arm or something.
I grew up in the 60's with some trails that we rode on, but -nothing like these. I don't think the bikes we had then would have made it through some of these trails.
This just looks terrifying to me. I give the biggest of props to people that can do these.

For me it looks painful. All these rocks and roots.
you can do anything you have a desire for. its seems difficult because u dont have the desire to do it. it's scary for me too because i know i don't have a passion for riding mtbs
it looks like you could die in every part of this track 😱
Well thanks for the props mate

@@siriosstar4789 may I ask what do you think about the e-mtb bikers?
I am VERY curious about your word...
I've been watching your videos a lot lately. I've been focused on work and getting life sorted out that I've put cycling on the back burner. I'm looking forward to getting my bike up and running and hitting the local trails.

So much land to explore and nice weather too. 🙂
I love watching this ,..almost as entertaining as a movie !!! So glad you share your skill ,..

These tracks are absolutely amazing! I’d love to try them someday!
Well worth it!
I'm dumbfounded how far mtn. bikes have come. I started on a hardtail Ross Mt. Whitney and that was back when all anyone had was the ubiquitous Specialized Stumpjumper.
Thanks for taking us along. Great ride! 🫡
This park is SICK! Great riding... Stumps always win. Cheers.
😅 Stumps definitely got the best of me
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1naw I'm good.
jesus! My heart's pounding just watching this!
I appreciate these videos because I will never ever do this. But it's cool to see it from 1st person POV
Only thing better would be one of those 360 cameras so I can watch it in VR
Makes my wrists & ankles ache just watching now @45 .. & my neck, & my back lol..
a lot of physical involved in that. You slept good that nite I imagine 😁
15:37 that’s my kind of bike ride 😂. I would ride my bike on that trail in a heartbeat 😂 nice, safe, flat trail!!!
Amazing to see the dedication and passion people put into making these courses while maintaining the beauty and using the natural landscape.
That's hilarious the expert trails aren't groomed and look like a terrible time. Thanks for the footage!
That’s what makes them expert
Thanks for the adventure, that looked like so much fun!
Pretty amazing park, has a very natural and rough edge feel to it and the wood work looks like a ton of fun.
Woodwork is mad! Really fun bike park
Wow! Just ran into your channel and those bike trails are amazing! Looks scary but for you it's probably nothing but thanks for sharing! It's beautiful and so cool!
15 minutes in before i took my first look at the scenery around you. Beautiful place
You’re great at mountain biking. THATS TGE MOUNTAIN BIKING SPIRIT!
You made it look fun and easy , thx for the vid.
This looks so damn fun!
definitely not the most insane thing I’ve seen you do, but the scenery and line are both incredible
i love mountian biking. Been doing it all the time here in America and we are going back to germany soon so its great to see this place and all the trails. Have heard of the bike park before and hope that I will get to riding it sometime. This looks right up my alley!
Nice ridding! The dh tracks look very nice :) 👍🏼
Thanks ✌️they are really great trails!
So much fun. Thank you for taking us with you!!
Went to Winterberg a couple of times like 15 years ago or so. Nice to see how much they expanded everything! Shame they cut so many trees though :)
I don't think they did that on puropse... Climate Change is killing all the Spruce trees in Germany right now. Last years spring we had two storms back to back - after that you could hear chainsaws literally for weeks, cutting up all the fallen trees.
We have problems in Germany with the trees. They're dying because theres not enough rain, missmanagement in the forests and the f* bark beetle 😢
the trees died due to bark beetles, tehy all died on their own, there were some hills in Germany with all dead trees, it's now growing back slowly, and it's not just firs anymore
@@BioshynYeah, that's the good part. Monocultures are finally being replaces with mixed forests again. Shame that it took bark beetle infestations for that to happen

How beautiful but difficult to come from the sunshine and into dark areas where the bridges are located .
That was some wild bike riding there! WOW!!! 😲😲
I LOVE the rush of adrenaline and excitement MTBing gives me
That was incredible! Loved it!Thanks!
i love a track that has a rhythm to the turns and jumps, nice smooth rhythm.
Brilliant camera perspectives.
The research put into these videos is very thorough.
⛰ *Sick ride!* Love the woody paths toward the end of the video. Thank you for filming your rides and sharing; please keep making this awesome content!
_Btw, what are those fake-looking tree stumps sticking up around the __6:40__ marker?_
This looks so fun! I wish they had something like this near me 😢
Looks awesome! It's got everything .
Yep, hasn’t it just!
By accepting yourself and being fully what you are, your presence can make others happy.
The first 20 seconds I was like... hey it looks like my homespot. Then I realized, it is my homespot :D
OMG what a smoot control man.Nice I liked it.
I life in Winterberg. Its never getting boring. But you cant imagine how much people land in the hospital after some trails.
You have to visit DirtMasters Festival in Winterberg.
I know this is crazy track itself. But your camera view and lens setting makes it hella looottttt scary!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
I fucking LOVE watching you shred… I’m LITERALLY addicted to it
And we have Baker Creek Preserve in my neck of the woods... jealous. This place is amazing 🤘
i have done little mt biking but i have done enough to know that you must be in pretty amazing shape to do down that as many times as you did
0:56 Some soft treestumps to cushion your fall. Nice touch. 🤣
Hadn't seen your sht before, watched the whole thing, really enjoyable my man. Idk why but really tired of MTB-pov stuff in general but this was nice. ✌
Stoked on this! Thanks for your feedback 🙏 trying to do things a little different
Holy shit, the new lines in Winterberg look AWESOME. Looks like I need to finally get some new brakes on my bike so I can run these with more confidence than I've done in the past.
i didn't know that there's a place like that near me just 1 hour buy car. awesome ..i will visit for sure and i am so excited to ride my bike there. thnx man for that. really i am thankful. and really nice video
Love your videos! Keep up the great work.
Got stoned and it took me a minute to realize you were speaking English 😂
Love that
mbt pickup line, "are you a diamond track? bc ur hard to do" 😂😂😂😂
I've been watching your videos for a while and I'm now obsessed... But I have a question... No merch?
It’s coming 😉
Put some Teflon tape underneath those lever perches, tighten but will still move when smashed and break less levers
How do u even do this bro me watching you makes me scared I amazed how much confidence u have to attempt anything keep it up
This looks so gnarly, I almost didn’t watch thinking it was gaming content lol 😅🤣
These bikes have amazing durability. I can't believe they aren't just falling apart under you haha
looks sick definitely a new place to go on my bucket list! and also you got any news on the downhill bike you hinted at or you off that thought now?? much love keep it up
Check Vitus’s social media now 😉
When I saw Wolfpack I thought I recognised the voice. I remember you and partner from riding at Hamsterly years ago.
Your crazy man! Nice riding! 🚲
super cool its very crazy
bro
ちょっとした起伏でジャンプしてるのがマリオカートみたいでかっこいい！
This is actually incredible been seeing your videos for a while and I wanted to know what bike you use to travel these paths (maybe buying that one)
Some mountain biking just looks like a DIY rollercoaster
I live in San Francisco, just across the GG bridge from "the birthplace of mountain biking " (Mt. Tamalpais) and the location of the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame (Fairfax) . . .

man those wooden features are gnarly !!
Crazy right?!
You made it look easy. Nice one mate.
That’s such a cool pov above the tire❤
Looks like so much fun
Rad
You've been eyeing me all day and waiting for your move like a lion stalking a gazelle in a savannah.
These make me so tense but I love watching them from your point of view. I have no idea how you can think so fast. Id be busy dying 100 different ways. Lol.
Lol - glad you enjoyed it, a lot of people think the same 😅 it’s definitely intense, and you do need to think fast!
Le set d'halloween est super joli 😍
Pour info, la maison éclairée avec la pièce secrète est actuellement à Jouéclub pour 99e 😉
amazing video, the way u control the situation in some scenarios its like magic, 1 question tho How many bones have you broken so far XD?
This is sick I just have some questions.
How do you guys not slide out when taking a sharp turns on dirt?
If you do end up taking a bad spill, how do you get help? Like if you broke your arm or something.
You are a skilled man! Kudos!
this video is so satisfying to watch 😂😂😜😜
Thanks - means I’m doing my job right 🤣
I grew up in the 60's with some trails that we rode on, but -nothing like these. I don't think the bikes we had then would have made it through some of these trails.
Sir, I think you just peaked my interest for mountain biking!
U CRAZY 🎉 I can not take a fall anymore. I'm 50 it's over😂
rocks when biking seems like moguls in skiing. a.k.a. i would hate it lmao
This looks very fun and yet very scary to me ❤❤
Of all of the great track you ride, I seem to be happiest to see you don't use the excessively wide bars. Showing my age I suppose.
@10:14
What's the deal with that weird suspended winding metal bar there?
Also, what's the deal with all those cut-off trees there anyway?
Gorgeous countryside and great rides. Jealous indeed.
I was irrationally happy you put gloves on lol
Lol
Isso que é adrenalina, que exporte top!!!!!!!
I'd fly off the track by looking at the beautiful background, the lake, or not being able which turn to make, etc.
Cool Vid
This place looks sick. well maintained and well run.
I like how you have Shadow Wizard Money Gang playing in the background pretty much the whole time
I think I got skid burn just watching this!
if i was invincible i would do this. like a super hero going through trees and rocks XD
This looks so fun...I need to get into this sport
