Here is a fun video of Josh Bryceland ripping some turns and going fast in Spain. When we decided to do this, we opted for more of a rough cut edit. Stay tuned for Chapter 2 of our 2016 Downhill Intro dropping next Wednesday.
Bonus footage: K-Rad and Josh Lewis

Pretty much sums it up!!! Just watched that sitting here with a HUGE grin on my face!
This just took me to a flashback to my teens when i started riding, good times.
This fucking kids my favorite damn downhiller in the Milky Way. Shout outs to when he swung his dingaling at gee, keeping the rowdy in my favorite sport.
Wikipedia: "Hoon is a term used in Australia and New Zealand, to refer to anyone who engages in loutish, anti-social behaviours. In particular, it is used to refer to one who drives a car or boat in a manner which is anti-social by the standards of contemporary society, i.e. too fast, too noisily or too dangerously". Nailed it, tho someone should add bike to that list
I just want to live in Spain. Lapolma,, Ibiza, not going out till 2 am, not coming home till the sun is up, siestas, the food, Andorra next doora...any of you handsome/beautiful Spanishes wanna get married do we can have dual citizenship?
Dam that white grill on the helmet is bad ass looking, with the hair flowing out the back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JOSH CALL A DAM SHAMPOO COMPANY AND DEMAND A SPONSORSHIP WE GOT YOUR BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It really is a testament to Ratboy that I have just looked at the vid, had a blast and seriously thought
'Yeah, I could probably do this' because he just makes it look so enjoyable and easy.- completely effortless.
Of course I can't and will never be able to do it, but just the way he seems to carry himself combined with the way he rides, he
really is an embodiment of everything about this sport that I fell in love with.
Respect to him, I hope 2016 will be his year.
yes, here in south east of spain full summer is our 'off season', is hard to ride between 9 am to 9pm.
the vid seems Roost dh trails in Malaga. I think there is a similar company in the area of Benidorm for shuttle rides, also there are nice trails on there with some features m.pinkbike.com/news/epic-trailriding-in-spain-2014.html
'Guijarro Sport' has a DJ/ slope stylesque compound in San Vicente del Raspeig with free acess, and in the same city there is a neat bmx race track.
within one hour theres is a DH trail with easy access by car to do some laps in 'Pinoso'. Sierra Nevada Bike Park is four hours by car in Granada and La Pinilla is close to Madrid but only opens on weekends.also in Alicante City there are some locals doing urban dh in the night
@mallorcadave i'd love to mate but the ferries 6 hours, i can't get a two day pass, we're doing a week in Torrieveija and one in Javea. so La Fenasosa was bang on. I'm gutted . @LuisCR gracias i'll check that lot out, i'm driving to Spain so i might be able to wander about
In Xabia (Javea) contact Xabia Bikes for trails info. Torrevieja is prety flat. I'm from Murcia that is only one hour away, we have good trails in 'Sierra Espuña', 'Carrascoy y el Valle' and close to 'Cabo de Palos'.
Ratboy is going to slay in 2016! Stoked for the upcoming circuit. Also just heard that Ratboy was nominated for Soul id 100 recognition! soulid.me/features/athletes
For sure. But his public image is fairly... wooden. Rightly or wrongly. A lot of the top guys put out high quality material that increases exposure and likability. Whatever Gwin is worth, he'd be worth more if he worked the media more.
Actually, I almost enjoyed the song more than the footage. I wish more videos were like this!!
