Must Watch: 2 Creative World Firsts from Paul Couderc in 'My War'

Dec 9, 2019
by COMMENCAL BIKES & SKIS  

Words: Commencal

Talent. Some are born with it. They use it to make beautiful shapes.
Tenacity. Others train tirelessly. In order to achieve extraordinary things.
Paul combines talent AND tenacity. This allows him to do what no other has done so far.

It’s on his own dirt in the southwest of France that Paul Couderc, along with Léon Perrin and JB Liautard (members of our Media Team) attempted and failed on many occasions, to be able to finally offer us this piece of art full of emotion!

Rider: Paul COUDERC

 As unbelievably impressive that last switch 180 back flip was, it's also unbelievably impressive the amount of volatile, ignorant crap people on this thread are saying.

 How dare he create this edit, risking his personal well being and doing things no one else has ever done, while also trying to add in some creative cinematography, and then give it to us all for free. This did not meet my standards.

 @friendlyfoe: Nice to see much of that negative crap people were saying has since been deleted. Your reply friendlyfoe hit the nail right on the head! That is the reality of creating content that I think more people should be aware of before they start posting negativity.

 Flat 180 to 180 backflip is one of the sickest and most original moves I've ever seen tossed on a MTN (26"?) bike!

 I like the shot of him looking out the window like some kind of evil genius plotting to take over the world with sinister bicycle maneuvers.

 Ninja flip was unexpected for sure but once I saw him go fakie it made sense. Great inventive riding. Never would have thought of that.
