Getting Raw With Remy Metailler on the Trail Bike - Video

 Was so smooth and flowy like my post mocha.

 I was just gonna say that!

 This guy is gonna start a revolution in mtb videos. his whistler edit, now this, there just perfection and everyone loves them!

 Awesome to watch. Great trail too.

But WTF was with the trendy coffee shop intro at the start? Extraneous at best. Hopping on the hipster bandwagon for marketing purposes at worst.

Now what beans shall I grind for my morning flat white....

 @OrangeGoblin: that's a new coffee shop in whistler. Looks like he might just be giving some good exposure

 @gclarida: Does a coffee shop in Whistler need exposure? ;-)

In any case it feels poorly placed, seeing as its not in anyway involved in a storyline. He doesn't drink the coffee out on the trail. He's not even in the same kit. Just good old product placement. Still. Trying hard not to complain about decent riding content just clumsy marketing...

...I've even bored myself.

 @OrangeGoblin: Yeah actually its down in the far part of town away from the village. Just a good way to let the locals know really, as everyone in whistler has probably seen this video by now haha

 @OrangeGoblin: And i believe his girlfriend works there...(instagram). Awesome trail riding on a cool trail,as well.

 @OrangeGoblin: along with what @bobbybottleservice said, i think he just picked them up as a sponsor very recently, i could be mistaken but i think i saw something on instagram recently about them!

 dope af. damn.

 @OrangeGoblin: seemed ok to me. hell...just gettin some coffee.

 Isn't coffee a big French European thing? Good for him if he hooked up with someone who works at a fancy coffee shop. Way to keep rolling Champ.

 @OrangeGoblin: No way. That was a beautiful coffee shop and for all of us who don't live in Whistler it's cool to get a tip on a nice spot to get some food or coffee. Part of the fun of riding is the traveling component and checking out the place as well as the trails.

 @OrangeGoblin:
Clunky as the advertising is, I look at it as a reasonable trade off to see these videos. It's only a few seconds and doesn't interrupt the actual riding, plus it's a local company who may otherwise struggle for exposure in this way. Remy must be getting some kind of benefit, so fair play. In a worse world he would not have ridden and had to go do a desk job! ;-)

 @OrangeGoblin: He gets free bikes, free gear and now free coffee? If we see him get a free Panini in his next edit, I'm going to break down and go buy a $10 Panera sandwich!

 Don't get me wrong, I agree with all of you that an independent business getting a foot up with help from community\atheletes is good, and if it brings us decent content then even better - I don't resent the coffee shop getting exposure at all. At first it just seemed like a company trying to leverage popular culture poorly. I didn't realise they sponsored him.
(Though if he walked into a Wendys and ordered a burger at the start you'd most likely agree that its a poorly executed, shallow advertising slot, no?)

So I guess I'm looking at it this issue with a marketing head on, as thats my job, and its the continuity that bothers me. Its the fact that it bears no link to the video that I think is poor. Why didn't he crack that coffee open half way down the trail? Or at least walk into the coffee shop showing off the Camelback if thats the sponsor (He was wearing different kit and not a Camelbak. Anyway, it just felt a little like an afterthought and it bugged me. I'll shut up now, theres riding to be done. Thanks for the heads up guys and girls. :-)

 @OrangeGoblin: His coffee mug is made by Camelbak, and the edit was supported by Camelbak. I think that's marketing connection they were trying to make. Why he wore his backpack into the coffee shop though, that's beyond me.

 @OrangeGoblin: The intro will always be at the start and so will advirtisment be everywhere

 @OrangeGoblin: only the boring get bored !

 @Keitholbean: i wear a Camelbak pack on the coffee shot, cause I always wear that pack with me. It has my wallet and computer. When I go there I usually seat down and use what's in my pack. I have been there yesterday, i am on my way today and I will tomorrow again. Nothing is fake here. Also don't forget that I'able to produce content only thanks to people behind those companies called "sponsors". No support means no video.

 @remymetailler: I always have my morning coffee before every ride mate, it's part of the riding ritual, i don't see anything wrong with showing your mug or any local coffee shop, video is just awesome, period.
Keep up the good work and shred on..!!!

 @seanryan: meaning he gets free coffee?

 haha I am glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that loud as shit noise coming from his setup every time he used more than 50 percent travel... it was driving me crazy

 Sure would rather listen to the canary versus robot sex (aka dubstep)

 that squeak really irked me

 @steelpolish: hahahaha haven't heard that one. Seriously though dubstep f*cking blows

 Turbo noises? nope just BOS suspension

 @jackalmond: yep... Got the same on my stoy, and I f*cking hate it

 @evildos: i love that Bos signature sound ! I own a Stoy too and i definitly love it.

 @rckon03: yea but our parents think hip hop blows and their parents thought rock blew...so...

 Depends on the quality of your soundsystem. With good speakers it is amazing, but with my standard low quality laptop sound it doesn't give you the feeling / the real sound of cycling and it's rather just annoying noise. I love it though when I put on my headphones.

 That is what I call a RAW edit! Love those sounds.
And no "the sound is added in post production" here, like in Mike Hopkins: Raw 100 for example

 the intro was all about the next 6 months of free coffee for remy. swag.

 @stacykohut: Yeah, just wanted to help out a cool local business !

 Coffee shop advert ?

 COFFEE ADDICTION AFFECTS THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES EVERY YEAR

 @camcoz69: I drank coffee once, now i'm a meth addict

 @remymetailler: Sooooo smooth on Treasure. WOW.

 Hard to understand the negativity. On the professional level, this whole industry is about endorsments. Assuming he actually likes their coffee, it was pretty unpretentious...

 I saw it more as @remymetailler bringing his reusable Camelbak mug in for coffee, which is cool since he's reducing waste. I was impressed with sustainability efforts of communities in the PNW when I was there. Nothing worse than people leaving behind disposable coffee cups and plastic water bottles along your trails.

 @pigman65: next edit in Amsterdam

 @remymetailler: let me just thank you for not producing any more waste

 Can't fault him for promoting a sponsor. Probably the same deal with the backpack he appeared to be wearing getting out of the truck to go and get a coffee with.

 @remymetailler: seems like decent folks. Now let's do one with beer!

 @LulikZ: The beer sponsor is on its way dude..

 I ride like that whenever I drink coffee first. Especially skinnies. The more coffee the better.

 @camcoz69: Yep, my kids get a happy father out of my coffee addiction

 I forgot all about the coffee once he started riding.

 @Keitholbean: Littering in general drives me nuts but on the trail and I would loose my shit.

 @remymetailler: sick lines remy u ripped a treasure/overnight an reserectum a new one! you bombed that chute last time i saw a guy go down it that fast was when he lost his brakes haha

 @camcoz69: everyday

 @Silocycle: well if you like proper coffee its the best espresso u can get in whistler

 WOW, negative props for giving someone a compliment.......

 @enduroelite: it's PB man, what can you expect?

 That trail is tough, it may look slow, but it's still 3 times faster than most mortals. I have ridden this, and the stuff he rides at Whistler, and I find this more impressive (though the Whistler stuff is still spectacular)

 @nzstormer: I didn't say it was slow, just a speed that is possible for mortals. While I haven't ridden this, I have ridden whistler 4-5 times and it's ridiculous how he basically doubles everything...

 Yeah first time I think I didn't have sweaty palms the entire time. So stylie!

 @nzstormer: what trail is it?

 @nvranka: your welcome bud!

 @NorthShore19: some on treasure trail?

 @nvranka: I got what you were saying, but I think if you rode this trail, you would realize that this is not a speed possible for mortals. I would say he rides Whistler 2 times faster than me, and he rides this trail 4 times faster than me.

 @NorthShore19: I'm not one to give away trail locations, but I will say it's on Trailforks.

 Actually, just watched it again, and it's more than the 1 trail I was thinking of. I recognize some of the other lines, but not all of them.

 yessir, raw and MOP too.

 he's trying to find a washroom after that mocha.

 large mocha: cheapest way to drop a pound. Waaaaay cheaper than carbon fiber bits.

 i think it would go something like this...... look ahead PIN IT!!!

 step one: cut a hole in the..... wait wrong instructions

step one: HUCK ALL THE THINGS!

 101

 I'd get 2 feet across that log, look down, barf, fall off, die

 yeah sounds like the damper is f'd

 Really..I didn't like the sound of the wind rustling and a flappin his polyester shorts..

 @Mrstamper: The sound of the damper means that the damper itself it´s working nice and the oil is flowing around it.. so.. to me, it´s a nice sound... the sound of work!

 @Adrianos: pass me another hard boiled one please grandmother..

 @Mrstamper: Tell me place...

 @Adrianos: cod knows.

 Pretty much nothing in the sea to sky would be imba approved. People shred when its wet too and the trail work out fine

 isn't the whole riding addiction team on BOS too ? or you joked ?

 @RedBurn: Can't tell if serious...

Polygon is the only WC Team running BOS now.

 @gonecoastal i m so late on this one, thanks !

 It's a V4, custom color probably (look like 2014 V3 color scheme).

 i think its the 2017 color!!! I saw a picture of the same frame on Nico Quere instagram! I like it!

 @Mac-Aravan: that's the Meta V4 2017 colours

 He wore two different packs during a 3 min video..........NOTHING MORE ENDURO THAN THAT!!

 Nope.

 no goggles

 Remy,damp spell check.

 Treasure trail in Squamish (first part) and Overnight Sensation in Pemberton second part (1:31 onwards).

 @TheSpangler: thx dawg

 For sure. Clearly, my riding will improve greatly. Damn, he's just so smooth, makes it all look so effortless.

 Once only, I pretty much never ride Squamish, and Pemby.

 @remymetailler: Come ride up here in Pemby more it's awesome!
