Andreu didn't ride the slopestyle contest at Crankworx Les 2 Alpes and preferred to smash the berms in the park and ride down some big mountain lines in the upper part of the bike park.
Andreu does enough contests, WTF are you talking about? Sometimes, judges are people with brains, talking about people without brains. You don't have to be able to do double backflips to be able to compare one against another. We have no sport if we have no contests. Andreu said little jumps make us look stupid. Totally true. Not doing contests because you don't like how you were judged makes you look stupid too.
well i guess being a pro and being sponserd has its + and - sides + you can ride the best bikes you can have a garden with your private riding stuff you dont need to work your passion is your work - you cant ride the bikes you really want to, you Always need to go riding where people want you to ride
so wherver you pro or not your never completly free, but still we riders are more free then many others
so;ethin else i heard someone saying that a trail was closed because of people skidding drifting their tires. isnt that the way it supposed to be and can you just repair the trail by adding dirt?
I remeber seen both of the brothers riding DH in Schladming, back in 2005, or something. They were two little kids, but smokin' fast, and VERY stilish. They both finished the 4x quallies with a backflip. And back in those days that was quite impressive. Don't know about the fitness side, but he and his brother both have the nuts and style for DH.
Can't blame him for bombing the DH runs but def missed him on the slopestyle course. I heard the announcer say he was on the lift but no ss run... oh well. Sometimes you just gotta get your ya-yas out! www.pinkbike.com/photo/9093217
That was SICK!!! I did the freeride lines he did in the video back in 2010, 2011 and yesterday but without the ridiculous style and speed of Andreu! RESPECT! Wish I'd met him and shown him some even longer crazier lines I tried back in 2011. Who said freeride was dead?!!!
Hahaha my thoughts exactly but I was just wondering? For a freeride /slopestyle/whatever type rider I would have thought it would of been an event more for his liking rather than just a mates video of him riding some runs. I'd much prefer to see someone like stevie smith hit them corners with that dust, reckon the explosions would be equally huge but with a fair whack more speeds!!!
this will likely get neg props - but to me, it just looks like a rider trying to rip apart berms, thereby deteriorating the quality of the trail for the next rider. 0.30 and 0.43 mark. this isnt a motocross track. leave the berm roosting to the motor bikes (he started as an MX/FMX rider)
i used to hate when novice riders would create braking bumps in berm sections at the DH lift mountain i would frequent. this is just as bad. not saying that he is a novice rider at all - but, a rider that deteriorates trails is novice in mind
you're a trail builder? that's cool man.. you should be stocked pros are happy to come and rip your bike park to bits.. i can assure you he's doing less damage to the tracks doing that then 2 tourists braking before every corner
I build because I enjoy building. I ride coz I love riding. I crash coz I am old haha Dont straight line my building, that annoys the sht out of me. But come smash my berms, smash smash smash, get your stoke on. That is what I do. If the berms fall apart, my building aint good enough and I best build em better next time
Ummm...more like a tutorial in mediocrity. Dude clearly has a ton of skill, but clearly not on a big bike and clearly not on big terrain. Clearly. Yeah.
Like he said some times: judges are people without balls talking about people with balls.
