Dec 5, 2018
by Red Bull Bike  


Former DH MTB World Cup racer, Bryn Atkinson swapped the trails of Australia for the Pacific Northwest trading race kicks for camera clicks. Listen to the pure, unadulterated sound of speed as he shreds through the woods of Washington.

 He should wear a full face helmet for such riding, showing the example to the youth community out there...

 Opinion, Bryn Atkinson is one of the best shralpers of all time? On clips too!
  • 19 3
 not sure what shralp really means, but yes you are correct

 @cmitchell: 'Shralp' shredding and ripping at the same time, commonly associated with skateboarding, surfing and I think snowboarding, but hey..
  • 15 0
 Definitely a top 5 schralp dogg. Some of the best style on two wheels.
  • 4 2
 @ytei: You are close. Shralp is derived from the words Shred and Scalp. Take the first three letters and the last three letters and you get "Shralp". Probably not politically correct these days, but hey...

 He needs a bloody Pilots license for the amount of time he spent airborne and a rally drivers license for the amount of time he was going sideways and a bloody pinball license for the amount of time he was bouncing off things and last but not least Demigod status for pedalling in the air mid jump!

 Haha my god... this is the best mtb video I've seen in years. Bryn is ridiculous on 2 wheels!!

 The guy is the epitome of the term “shred”. His cornering technique is the best of anybody’s, but the way he puts it all together to maintain that much speed and flow is truly a joy to watch. The pumping, jumping and cornering all strung together perfectly. He and Jill must just fly through the woods together. What fun.

 @1:00 mark the power slide is just something else after having just drifted into a corner.
I thing the video is slightly speed up, though.

 @sngltrkmnd: yeah the corner around 1:05 is crazy. I don't know how he rides that fast!

 I believe it is sped up as well. If you focus away from the rider on the leaves and ferns they just move a bit too quickly. Still a great rider on a great piece of trail.
