Remy looks faster.
I'm sure he isn't, but Troy is so smooth and his bike is so quiet, it makes him seem slower.
Remy will be in the Crankworx video contest, so expect some madness from him
Remy beat troy in the recent Wednesday races (i dunno what they're called) didn't he? Although overall Troy has got to be quicker as a top 10 even 5 dh racer
The Phat Wednesday races take place on regular trails in the bike park. Remy lives in Whistler, rides the park practically every day, and knows every line on the mountain. Brosnan is just on another level.
Remy is an amazingly talented and stylish rider, but he isn't even in the same realm as Troy. Ok, he beat Troy in a phat Wednesday race on home trails. Something tells me Troy was there for the fun of it. Believe this: if Remy could hand it to the top world cup guys he'd be doing that, not making bike park edits for pinkbike.
The fact this is even a conversation topic blows me away, even though Remy beat Troy on a phat wednesday he's ridden a couple hundred time he still didn't win the race he was 4th just because he posts a go pro video taking a "conservative" run on the internet doesn't even mean he's the fastest guy in whistler...
His conservative run was just him giving an excuse why he didn't win. BC cup was in whistler last week-end.. why didn't he enter? I guess he didn't want his ass handed to him....
The real dick lickers are the ones talking shit on the internet instead of riding their bikes and aspiring to one day be half as talented and skilled as Troy or Remy
Also I heard Troy had only been in town for like a day before that race. Nothing against Remy but there's a massive difference between being fast and looking fast. Seems like the fastest riders usually look like they're trying the least.
Some of the dick-lickers troll of the internet actually ride every day.. probably even more often then you.... so who cares. AND you don't even know why we talk shit about Remy....
rigodon777, I dont even think YOU know why you shit talk Remy, he is a hard working athlete who is seeing good success in the media and his local racing scene, you are just a fed up prick behind a keyboard, do you personally know him? did he take your lunch money as a kid?
HAHAHAHAHA!! I've known Remy for 3 years now... I'll leave it there. I ride wihistler with the guy. Yes he's faster then me. But he has a shitty attitude about not winning. AND he talks shit about his own sponsor. So yeah. Fuck off if you don't even know the real story.
i know that's just a talk, but don't do that with this attitude. i did, and now i'm on wheelchair. sorry for being so serious, this time i've got my reasons
God, the lack of answers is killing me. It's like the awkward silence when someone says "Yeah, about that..." after a Yo Momma joke. Hope you're not on those wheelz forever man. And if you are, make the best of it! Yeah, you're totally right, being reckless is stupid. It can help when you're starting out and scared to hit a 1ft drop, but this is Crabapples... There's a fine line between recklessness and stupidity.
Hey if you ride crab apple hits, dont second judge your speed. Faster is better. I road that for my first time with Travis Pastrana and a few Mexican red bull riders. I was following a red bull guy and I reall thought I was good on speed. Until I saw the rider send it like hell, and he landed it perfectly. SO DONT BRAKE MUCH! And dont break much! Good luck
Don't break at all last year I hit them and had to crank 3 hard cranks into the 3 one which is the first big one after the 2 smaller set up jumps but after that just no brakes at all and 8 preload hard off jumps so I can hit meany jumps slower than most coming off a dirt jump BMX background...it was wet rainy and riding much slower than dry though. I would jump them with your fingers on the bars don't even hover the break with index finger if your scared and first time around one little panick pump of the break right before you send it could be catastrophic regardless the fact there tables the first big one has a decently steep lip sends you much higher than you would expect especially if you been hitting a line all day little speed goes a long way with a little extra incline. So epic though when you clean them so much hang time yhhheeeeewwwwww!!!!! LOVE IT!!!
Just watch out for wind. That's the biggest deal that can offer a sketchy situation. Other than that, if you don't overshoot the second (I like to brake into it, otherwise I go to flat), just cruise into 3rd and it just sends you real nice. #4 and #5 are a walk in a park then. I don't really pop off lips, going much faster into jumps than my friends, but still if it's dry and I pedal into #3, it's easy to overshoot it FAR. 3 strong pedal strokes in the dry conditions could easily mean huck to flat. In the rain it's obviously different, but it should still be comfortable without pedalling, if you do the #2 setup jump clean.
If you watched the first in the know with Curtice and Dylan. It was filmed by mind spark and the coastal crew where in it so it might be what you are looking for m8
The kid can ride, great skills. We were lucky enough to meet him last year in Leogang , very humble and all around nice guy. He's a great ambassador for the sport.
Great addition to "In the Know" series. Just a killer rider to watch. It was also fun trying to see which shots were dunkys and which were nic's shots haha. turned out great boys- The recording of the birds really capture that summer feel
Standard whistler edit! some slo-mo tweaks,lots of zoomed in stuff in front of trees, slo-mo of spraying up dirt and dont forget to finish it up with crabapple! zzzzzzzzzz
That's a funny term.
^Dick lickers^
Hope you're not on those wheelz forever man. And if you are, make the best of it!
Yeah, you're totally right, being reckless is stupid. It can help when you're starting out and scared to hit a 1ft drop, but this is Crabapples...
There's a fine line between recklessness and stupidity.
My butt puckered up at 0:38. So fast...
That said, another awesome in the know added to the favorites list.
(Also, dig me a remy edit but enjoy some radness instead of so and so is blah blah if theyd onlying stuff all the time)
Also very interesting! why chose Troy Brosnan rather than the most recent world champion Arron Gwin?
haha! LOL
