i'd say your 5% is generous!
freeride to biking should be as off-piste is to ski/snowboarding, and the only time these guys spend off groomed trails is flying straight down a scree slope?

no discredit to the guys riding, they are far better on a bike than i am, just a shame to see freeride turning into bikepark riding. i guess it makes it all the more refreshing to see guys like KC Dean getting back to the spirit of freeride in films like this www.pinkbike.com/news/mtb-heroes-season-2-trailer-premiere-2015.html

I want to ride my bike now, but it's dark and I can't yet afford good lights. Awesome riding style, looks so relaxed and pinpoint accurate, very fun to watch!

$25 on amazon. Mine works great. Super bright. I have done 1.5 hour rides and battery has never died on me with it on full power. Been riding at night happily for over a year now. www.pinkbike.com/photo/12056244

I thought the nomad was an enduro bike I thought wrong

Nah you were right, cause enduro is basically just 5 timed DH runs in one day, with no lift to take ya back up. (takes cover)

hadenmtnbiker (Nov 3, 2015 at 22:52)

And way longer stages than a DH races...

Yeah you and I were wrong. Apparently you can't climb with it, so the 'enduro' part ended here.

Really nice vid.

But not really freeride.... except if you can do freeride on a track

The freeride part was at the very end all the rest was bikepark and trail riding. Freeriding=hors piste

Grononosse (Nov 4, 2015 at 1:11)

I have the same definition, and most of the video is on a track, that's why I said it's not really a freeride video, despite of is title. ...and it's a nice Video, there is no doubt.

SintraFreeride (Nov 5, 2015 at 10:02)

Yeah totally agree. I've noticed lately that the word "freeride" has been misused. Too many bikepark video with DH bike labeled freeride...

at 3.50 the speed looks a bit fake isnt it?

andrewmeehan (Nov 3, 2015 at 21:52)

its because it was filmed in a high frame rate, and then played back at normal speed. Not sped up, just no motion blur like everybody is used to seeing.

Interesting fork choice, I would have chosen the HLR metric from x fusion. His fork is like equivalent to a pike. The metric is like a lyric or a 36.

Great riding but the fire on the trail was almost as stupid as the soundtrack. Do yourself a favor and queue up Motorhead instead.
