Video: Downtime With Loic Bruni

by Red Bull Bike  


With the 2014 UCI World Cup season almost upon us we've been hanging out with the world's fastest racers to get an eyeful of what they've been up to in the off-season.

First up we have French flyer Loic "Brownie" Bruni. Having dominated the Junior ranks in 2012, a successful 2013 followed as Loïc established himself as a genuine threat to the top spots. Joining the exodus of riders that have headed south to New Zealand over the last two months, Loïc's been getting his head down and is looking for more success in 2014.

Check out the Lapierre Gravity Republic team film Life on Wheels for a look into Loïc's 2013 World Cup season.

And, remember, you can watch the first round of the 2014 UCI DH World Cup on Saturday, April 12, live and exclusive right here on RedBull.com.

 It's not a joke, it's a fucking insult and if you don't see it or alternatively choose to ignore it and profess to call it a joke then you are in the same class, it's about as funny as the ongoing 'looks like a trek' comment that's been around for years and is still being used by morons. Get some new material, try to originate, and if you want to be funny try harder, lots harder.

 I think Loic would have won the last round of the 2013 World Cup if Stevie hadn't needed the win to clinch the title.

 I flew into Queenstown on the same flight as Loic and got a chance to chat to him in the bike park for a bit. Seems like a pretty rad guy, all the better riders around town had some funny stories about him chasing girls or been chased more like it. Super fast on the tracks as well, he would just casually roll in then 2 quick turns and he was out of sight. Good luck this year Loic!!

 @2:06 not riding related but that leg press with independent, outward angled range of motion leg stacks is one of the coolest pieces of equipment i've ever seen.

 Seriously, it's great to see this kind of attitude from someone at the highest level. Doing his best at racing, but not at the cost of losing the enjoyment of it. Some racers seem like they're never happy unless they win, and maybe that's what it takes for some people, that serious, determined drive. I like seeing the person on the 2nd or 3rd podium spot with a huge smile on their faces, not looking like they want to kick puppies.

 Flex isn't necessarily bad. In fact too stiff is way worse than flexible
