 I thought he was done

 That was an incredible shot. I'd love to see the full thing including the landing. It must have been insane the whole way through, assuming the edit was highly edited to show a different ride away.

 that whip was badass but it kind of look like they edited a big crash out right after that stump explosion

 I'm betting those are SRAM brakes. The sound of shit

 I was wondering what it would be like to have the balls to do something like that. Thanks for sharing and ensuring I never will

 WOW... stoked to see him blast through a dead tree. I think it has never been recorded before (at least on an intentional basis... haha).

Cheers,

 The way his front wheel is dropping, looks like an endo. So rad though

 Who'd of thought the 'sound of speed' was akin to a goose being strangled?

 Thank you SRAM.
  • 35 1
 SRAM Guides are responsible for an uptick in underage goose pregnancy in the area. That didn't come out quite right.

 I like how we can all tell he is running avids just by the god awful sound of his brakes.

 It was pretty cool and reminds me of karate demonstrations from the 80s. Next up, cement block!

 Amazing images and sound but why that shity redbull player? In here looks like VHS quality and no full screen button... Wait its iFukinPhone compatible right? Not here...
  • 5 1
 Area 51 !!!!!!

WTF is that? sick, whatever it is..

IMO --- this is the proper way to make a bike video --- I get so bored with bike video music overlapping -- I'd much rather listen to a sqeeeekin' brake over some of the music. mute button plz

there's very few peeps out there who are good at overlapping the right kind of music to the right kind of biker video

 Cutting roots out with a chainsaw...makes me cringe every time. Amazing riding though!

 I think the lip on The last stepdown was in Canada but he landed somewhere in the U.S. Amazing!

 Love the riding and raw sound of the trail. I don't think he rode that tree stump out. RedBull please post the making of....to prove me wrong.
  • 2 0
 What no one failed to mention.A pro making trails for all to try. Those are exsisting trails with Mark Wallace improvements. Every orher"pro" has a team of builders erect and dismantle there precious stunts for there selfish secret one off photo shot. Mark gave all of us those jumps and drops! The tree is so stupid, i cant wait to try!
Thanks Wallace

 Bike shop: The damage to your bike resembles an impact typical of trying to insert your bike at high speed through a healthy full grown tree sir.....

Grom: B b b b but I saw this video ....

 Those massive step-downs are sick. I love how wobbly he gets at 1:28 braking on the landing.
  • 2 0
 saw that too, sketchy

 I'll put up with the annoying brake squeal just to enjoy the rest of the video without music. I'm suprised how much I enjoy just the sound of just the bike in a sick videos like this one.

 Ya, what brakes were those. Re-shoot the video with quiet ones please :-)

 Anyone know how they get sound like this? Seems all the videos are getting super sensitive audio with every little sound of the tires on the dirt even from far away, then compressing heavily. Is it a builtin mic on these new DSLRs or what?
  • 2 0
 I'm guessing they have a separate high quality mic nearer to the rider
  • 2 0
 Probably a shotgun mic mounted on the camera.

 you know pinkbike bought some stock in underwear manufacturers before posting this video. I pee'd myself just watching

 How did he get through that snow at the top of the run without a fatbike?
  • 6 3
 Is that Mt Tzouhalem? Looks like he ends up on Genoa Bay Rd. Must be fairly new. Awesome riding!
  • 2 4
 Yes, steep down the north side

 So now if you throw a tree trunk at Mark Wallace, it wont faze him and he'll probably still top 10.

 I love how this was a red bull mountain bike video with no stupid gimmicks. I was just plain and awesome!
  • 3 5
 This, like a lot of videos with riders and filmers of incredibly high caliber, was another let down. It would've been nice to actually see him ride the whole trail, maybe more than three turns in slow mo, or what the section prior to those massively sick step downs looked like. More than likely, it was incredibly awesome-unfortunately only Mark and Rob know the truth. Bring back pan-zoom.
