Now that is a kick-ass vid. Love what companies like Commencal and Santa Cruz bring to this sport - Pure simple fun, outstanding riders and a little humor. They keep the spirit of this sport alive and perpetuate the core of its very soul.

the other companies might as well pack up, they'll never match the vibe that Commencal bring to almost every bit of content they release.

There's always more than just biking in Commencal videos
- That's actually a Peugeot commercial I'd say
- Kinda disappointed they did not tried to land with their bikes inside the jacuzzi/car though

Great one ! Keep going

1) I don't understand why they employ so many mtb pro bikers to sell tuned Peugeot cars.
2) Listening to what they say, Estaque doesn't seem to be such a cool guy

3) This video remind us that "having fun" can be at the basis of an international industry
4) Many gestures, but no barriers and no limits. Waiting for the next one.

Man this vid takes me back to my bmx days in Alabama in the late 80s/early 90s. We used to buy junk yard cars for hijinx, laughs, and destruction. Turns out Alabama rednecks and French rednecks aren't all that dissimilar aside from the quality of the riding.

softsteel (Jul 10, 2020 at 15:20)

French rednecks are quite different from Alabama rednecks as they don`t practice lynch.. except when it`s about ill-treating bikes.

OK - cool, and you could tell they were having fun and just flat out rippin. But that one footed landing and then just riding it out to drop your bike in front of your buddies? THAT was epic.

Seriously though it's such a fun bike. Hasn't turned me into a pro freerider, but I get to pretend I am when I ride mine.
