Ultimate freeride MTB house - Life Behind Bars - Episode 1
Join us for an inside look at freeride mountain bike star Brandon Semenuk and his crew as we follow them on the road from World Tour Competitions to the journey back home in the coastal mountains of Canada.
In this premiere episode we check out the ultimate MTB house fully decked out with dirt jumps, slopestyle, trails, air bags, and a bear?! Lean back and enjoy some serious laughs, adventure, and of course some epic freeride mountain biking.
watching this video is making me look forward to getting up and half 6 in the morning to do 9.5hours of graft all day and still probably get payed less than this guy!
Competetion for the internship. You have to down 4 pints of milk, build a jump, fetch and open 6 beers and then remove a bear from a living room. Fastest time wins...
Cool video, their place looks like a dream setup (especially with the airbag). I have two questions. What was the deal with the bear? Did they bring it in to play a prank on Intern? Where are all the girls?
Maybe I need to watch it again. It seemed like getting a trained bear would be a lot of effort for a prank that didn't seem to have that much of a payoff. Intern didn't really seem fazed by it.
Im not too stoked on the idea of this series turning into a second Fantasy Factory, theres nothing more awful than watching a bunch of sports dudes trying to act out some lazily scripted prank scenario for the sake of trying to sell their lives as oh-so-crazy. Granted, I didnt expect this to become as "real" as that behind-the-scenes-at-Crankworx video the Freeride Entertainment guys did with Bearclaw (loved than one), however in my mind this one seems a tad too "made for TV". Theres nothing I love more than watching real antics and behind the scenes stuff (Id kill to watch the Cedric Gracia Gong Show) but this bear thing seemed a little staged. But maybe they were simply unlucky with how it turned out. Watching that bear making out with Semenuk was pretty entertaining though. I hope theyll focus on the riding in future episodes, the trail part was reeeeally good.
I FREAKING LOVED THIS VIDEO! These guys are definitely living the perfect life! An intern? A bear? Trails? Jumps? Jelly? Elements of an awesome video! Can't wait for the next one!
freakin' FANTASTIC! That house is so badass by itself. All the other stuff is so over the top awesome. That view from the house to the backyard watching people pull jumps and what not is priceless!
I had a dream like this. Except i was living with my gf only lol. But my riding buddies were close by and we had a pool and we shred bikes all day, drink beer and my gf would bbq carnasada ...... Some day lol
but I get to shred that trail every day on my ride home to my house, after a day of shredding!!! im not kidding, look at my vids... it actually blows whistler trails out the door, i would rather ride it than go to whistler
Well he said in the video that he bought the property.... Red Bull is his major sponsor, he is now doing an 18 episode internet series that thousands if not millions of people will see and they have "Red Bull" painted on just about everything. I'd put money on red bull chipping in.
It's not only his backyard, it's carbon's session, huge house, huge car... is it necessary to go on? And sorry but the guy with the redone mounted on the steadicam is just pathetic, he has absolutely no skill to operate such an expensive equipment. As I said, rich guys with expensive toys. That's all the video about.
and they produce the best mountain biking videos to date? i would say that warrents that kind of equiptment. you think you can do better lets see it. haha
What's the deal with this video? Is this me or this is just brandon rubbing us the fact that he is filthy rich. Come on, I wanna see him shredding the trails not showing his backyard.
I have to disagree.
Yeah, the dude is loaded, but that yard didn't happen simply because he is rich. Lots of time and effort and planning went into that building that yard. I for one really enjoy watching him shred his back yard, it's a sick set up and that's what he does best. In fact, it would almost be a crime for him to build a paradise like that and NOT make a video of him shredding the shit out of it. Try and just appreciate the product of a complete addiction and commitment to riding bicycles
I think I should be his intern. This is me in the photo.
The vid is a mountain biker's wet dream... add some chicks and it's heaven on earth.
what about the song at min 5:10?? anyone knows???
Great video overall, can't wait to get back to Squamish and Whistler!
Well for this I'm going to go ahead and say "PASS"!!!
