Stoked Alex and I got to do this video. Risk is a big part of our sport, and even though we can't remove it from the equation, you can decide to not do something if if things don't 100% line up. Make sure to use the code REMY20 on OneUp Components cockpit and my other discounts with this link: beacons.ai/remymetailler
heyo none of your oneup links work because you don't have the "www." in the link (in your beacons link and in the one up link in the video description) sick video!
Huge respect to Alex for making a solid decision, and to Remy for highlighting it in the video. There are many channels where I can see gnarly riding. There are very few presenting this level of honest, ego-free risk management. Thank you.
The rider was my friend. He was a great rider and had done the feature numerous time before. It was just one of those moments. But thats a great message at the end Remy. Thanks.
i also had a very bad accident a few years ago on a feature i did 100 times before. i was feeling a bit akward that day with new shock settings and i should have been more careful because of that. dont ignore bad signs even if they are small
Sorry for your loss, I saw him around but never rode with him, seemed like an absolutely awesome human and rider. Obviously very skilled and something just went wrong, one of the downsides of this amazing sport. Thoughts to his family and friends 🙏
@@falk.r.h8963I jump a lot and ride a lot of wheelies and stuff as well also to if you're tired and exhausted that's a good time to just normal ride or what I call right on two wheels😂😂😂 but yeah bad accidents can happen if you ignore bad signs❤❤❤❤
...when the old filmer has learned so much from Remy that you have to hire a new filmer to catch everyone's new progression. Remy's too damn good and too damn real. I know I'm months late to this video but you rip and so does your channel! Thanks again for the great videos, man!
I consider myself an "advanced" beginner, taking some advanced features at pace, and I want to thank you for the message towards the end of the video. It makes me feel confident that I'm progressing by riding but knowing that even high-level bikers do have days where they decide, not today. I don't feel as bad, and I know that there will be other days to take on the challenge!
Man, watching Rémy ride to me is like hearing and watching a great musician. It is emotionally moving. He is a technical artist in how he rides. Incredible! Wow!
Genuinely love that you session so many things - when you do it, you normalize it for the rest of us - really appreciate that. (Also like it when you highlight the trail builders - they are often the true heroes putting in 10s or 100s of hours to create fun for everyone.) Quick request: Could you comment on the amount of travel you have on your bike for some of these rides? Whole bike description is not always needed - but when I think about riding some the trails, I am wondering if I can get by with 140mm travel or if I need 160 or even bigger. (My favorite bike has 140mm - it feels playful and fast, but I doubt it could handle much of what you do --- but frankly am unsure.) Really appreciate your content.
That message totally resonates with me. Coming off a ruptured spleen from a relatively minor crash in February, if you're not 100% on any feature, or line, even on a trail you're familiar with, and confident on, wait until another day.
It's very useful to hear your approach thoughts and strategy to difficult lines/features! Definitely helps when I go out and attempt things on my own. Cheers!
I'm almost 60 now. Needless to say, I don't "bounce" like I used to when I wreck. Last thing I need to do is break something important. I stick to flow trails and avoid the big gaps now, sadly. :-[
That's a great message, I've had my share of injuries since my first season in 1992, in the first years mostly because I did blindly trust my "good star" it is not a rewarding attitude let me tell ya... Better be informed and chicken out if it doesn't make sense...
Amazing vid. Super interesting to see how you approach new challenging features and super nice to show that you can always say no if you are not feeling it. That was also one of the first tips my teacher told me when trying a trail for the first time. You don't feel it: just walk it and maybe confidence comes next time.
Hi Rémy, really enjoy watching your videos, you and the people you ride with are such amazing people, i wish i had the confidence and skill to do what you do. My rides in the UK are very tame compared to the places you ride but having said that i really enjoy riding here. Been mountain biking since 1986 and still get a buzz from it. Keep it up and thanks......Tim
Yeah Remy I know it’s not to do with MTB but riding gnarly stuff is like a long-term relationship it’s all about commitment whether that is riding gnarly slabs in Squamish or shredding old rampage sites in Utah it’s all about the commitment Alex at 11:29 6ft.2 i’m guessing he’s riding a large maneuvering a barge of a bike is not easy Fairplay dude
@@remymetailler OK thx He could probably get away with riding a L obviously choosing the bike and size to suit what and how your ride is very important
The personal challenge Can I make myself do this? LOL That's the ultimate question on the trail. You won't get a rush if you don't get scared, so test yourself
I've spend a LOT of time standing before a feature and talking to myself. You can do this... can you do this? I should be able to do this... but if I case that thing.... I love this sport with all my heart but I sometimes wish my brain would be quieter.
Can you make a video showing your MAX specs? I own one as well and have a nice spec but always interest in learning more and others. As well do you run the lense protectors ??

Thanks! We all have an off-day sometimes and it’s great to remind ourselves there is always another day 👊

i'm very out of the loop, what happened to this unfortunate rider?
Sorry bro. Really. I caught what Rémy said. Was it Andrew Chu? I just Googled it.
i also had a very bad accident a few years ago on a feature i did 100 times before. i was feeling a bit akward that day with new shock settings and i should have been more careful because of that. dont ignore bad signs even if they are small

Dude I love this guy, he's so positive and laughs at his mistakes! Best type of people to ride with! 🤘🏾🙌🏾
This is why i ride with him!
Haha thanks dude! Let’s go ride!
@@alexchapellier dude I wish I lived in Canada! But if you roll down south hmu! I'm always down to ride with dope people! 🤘🏾🤘🏾

Great message at the end. Much respect Remy 👊
Yep
Thank you for this, Rémy and Alex. As someone new to this in my first season, riding with some experienced friends, I needed to hear this!
That gnarly line looks terrifying. It's awesome to see how you instruct and help your friend doing it properly, Remy!

Thanks. This specific bike has 180mm of travel
Always remember. NO means Next Opportunity!

love your channel, Rémy. you teach so much about technical riding.
I appreciate that!

At least you can ride my grandpa died before 60 sadly. From Then i appriciate every moment not only on the bike but everything life is a gift
@@manosadj sorry for your loss my brother. Great memories
@@manosadjsorry for your loss man that's young dude I lost my dad die cancer when I was 18 I'm 39 now but he was only 54😢😢😢😢
Love the video! Great ending. Ride smart. The feature will be there tomorrow.
Great combo, Alex seems like a really humble guy and top fella

those lines look crazy, as usual!
Well done Alex! Must be buzzing after riding those features... Quality coaching from Rèmy 👊
The master showing his craft Remy your the man

Love this video, such good teaching/learning!
Good job Alex!! Love theses videos 🔥
Glad you like them!
That helps a lot with riding! thank you very much for explaining
Happy to help!
@@remymetaillercan you give me any advice on bar width, yourz seem very thin compared to my 800’s , I’m only 167 tall, how do I know best width??
Rip Andrew Chu
Doing it tomorrow is better than dying today.
At a certain point in life you need to avoid those times where ambition overcomes talent .
Respect to all .
That last trail was sick.
bro you are an absolute beast, love watching your videos
Glad you like them!
I sooo wish I had the same accent as you guys 😂
It's just iconic!
Respect! Buildup to control - awesomeness!
Love these kind of vids 🤘
please more this kind of coaching session videos!
Such an awesome video remy
I need this video
How fast do you ride down the slick rocks?
Uhhhh, gravity
The personal challenge
Can I make myself do this?
LOL That's the ultimate question on the trail.
You won't get a rush if you don't get scared, so test yourself
excellent excellent excellent!‼‼‼ Love these!
Glad you like them!
sick riding as always
It’s incredible how easy you make things look. I’d just like to say I think you’re channel would really benefit from the insta 360 camera
I do think the GoPro s are better. The Max is incredible and is a 360 camera. Check out my Instagram.
i almost tripped over a potato this morning 🥔
Coo Yah ! Bon travail ! Merci pour votre video .
I always say walk the feature so you can ride the trail
Those were some crazy technical slabs. Awesome to see you guys in action. Do you ever ride e-bikes, Remy?
i sure do. My next video will be on my E Bike!
@@remymetailler nice, will be awesome 😎
I've spend a LOT of time standing before a feature and talking to myself. You can do this... can you do this? I should be able to do this... but if I case that thing.... I love this sport with all my heart but I sometimes wish my brain would be quieter.
Glad I left that tree @ the 10min mark. My take on that line is focus on the front wheel and let the back wheel slide off the rock.
Love these Videos!!
20% off oneup bars is awesome i wish i needed one
Des lignes toujours aussi difficiles. 🎉
Can you make a video showing your MAX specs? I own one as well and have a nice spec but always interest in learning more and others. As well do you run the lense protectors ??
What hydration pack are you wearing Remy?
The Camelbak Chase Vest
Check the link in the description
Very cool! Are you running the Assegai 2.5 tyres for these type of trails?
On the front. I use the Maxxis DHRII on the back
Cours de mathématiques😂
What size bike is Alex running being 6 foot 2?
XL 29
19:17 Sounds like a chicken 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣gıt gıt gıdaaak
Just tried using your HAYES brakes discount code on Competitive Cycles but doesn't work. Has it been changed? Convinced to go Hayes
No you have to use the code on the Hayes Website.
Gotta show the steep part though
I think we did
What is the trail you started riding at 28:10?
what kind of gopro setup is this?
first, finally. I love your vids so much
holy sh*t remy liked my comment
Hi Remy, I’m the same height as you but I ride a 29er trail bike. Would you still recommend a mullet set up for trail riding?
Yes even for mellower rides as long as your focus is not just up hills
Is Alex on a Nomad or Megatower?
Mega tower but not for much longer..
First like, than watch! 😅 Always outstanding content! 😁
Do you use the max lens mod 2.0?
No just the regular 12
Il faut vraiment que tu apporte un petit niveau digital pour mesurer l'angle des slabs. 18:50 🤯
Years of evolution taught us to look where the danger is and not to where we want to go. now you ride an mtb and you have few seconds to make it work.
pk tu parle pas en français mais par contre au moins maintenante sais quel discipline du vélo j'aime
too much French for me 😰😰😥
Good
