The Freeride Thread

[Soundguy]

I was looking for somewhere to post about this insane part Remy just dropped and it didn’t feel right in the berm jump flow thread so let’s get some love for the backwoods gnar!

First exhibit - Remy Metailler, Squamish

Discuss.

finally a video without stupid music and just riding

The line over the rock at 2:17. That’s pretty committed.

Remy usually picks pretty good music but I see the point.

 

[Over the Bars]

Love watching his stuff, always amazed at what he even considers possible on a bike.

 

[THATmanMANNY]

Maaaan that is nothing



You think you are good and then you watch world class big balls speed and handling 😱

How have you missed the semenuk raw videos?

Man, if that stuff looks steep on video, it must be damn near vertical in person.

These are all old freeride trails him and Yoann have been reviving. Imagine hitting this shit on bikes from 20 years ago...

 

[a.s.]

I just watched this. He pulls a 20 foot gap drops onto a 30º decline then power slides around a few trees and rocks to line up for another 15 foot drop... WTF?!?
Remy is one of my favorite riders. The stuff on this video is just bonkers!

The guy doesn't even wear gloves. Guess if you're going to hit a tree at 30mph, it really doesn't matter.

 

[UtahJoe]

whew....man that is some fucking pucker right there....just watching lol

 

[ChrisG]

Finally got a chance to watch this.

Bonkers.

The amplitude of the moves is breathtaking for sure, but I also dig watching how elegant and composed he is throughout.

Also the richie rude at creek video.

Also the richie rude at creek video.

Every time I ride at Creek in the rain I think of that video and wonder why I’m slipping on every rock slab while he was fine.... then I remember that he gaps over EVERYTHING.

Its ridulous. Just dancing on wet rocks. Even the dry flow stuff is just sick.

 

[serviceguy]

And thinking that I’m agonizing over trying a 2 footer drop on cat nest...

He also rarely uses his brakes.

Not to be rude, but the sickest part was the refreshing his sealant mid-sesh montage.

It's so well edited. That whole little transition section between the two halves of the video is delightful - the skid, the garbage pail smack, the sealant and lunch ended by the lift bell to start round two -- friggin awesome.
