Must Watch: Paul Couderc’s ‘My War II’ Features World Firsts & A Broken Tibia

 Mountain biking has become so PC we also apparently need coaches to teach us how to ride our bikes instead of just getting better by riding our bikes like every other normal person.

 @ColbyKolar1: was that supposed to some kind of burn on my job? Pure jokes bud. Try harder. Every sport in the world has coaches. I wonder if you could even define PC? Laughing Out Loud.

 @C4coach: I think Paul Couderc and Commencal are promoting his riding, not the music. The soundtrack just adds to the edit. If you don’t like it just mute it. Laughing Out Loud.

 @C4coach: Job? You mean hobby right because no way your getting paid enough to actually live life. And yes every sport has coaches just some are more respectable than other lmao. Best way to get better is to ride with people who are better than you not do cone cornering drills on a gravel path.

 Completely agree. Way to many n-bombs for a commercial edit, especially one that is effectively 100% white. Just have some common sense and use a song that isnt so tone deaf to the current social climate.

 @ColbyKolar1: define living life? Sure do see a lot of Canada's top World Cup racers shredding those cones. I agree to ride with others and push yourself away from the eyes of the coach but how about a combo of both? Come on up to Squamish and I will show you around. Free lesson for you. I will try and fit you in between my neck deep sled days and brown pow moto/mtb shreds. Be nice bro.

 @Adamtborski: I like the music, just asking a question about the choice and placement is all.

 @bikeparkmemes: The music is just suppose to make the edit have some flow and make it more enjoyable there no need to dissect it and find some deeper meaning that doesn't exist

 No way, are u that c4 coach that used to hang out at all the BC cups running your mouth and making the whole team look like kooks? Don't like the music turn it off. Rather see rap in an edit than the lame radio shit rock in all the corperate edits so they appeal to the masses.

 @C4coach: Lmfao stop being nice you make it too hard to be annoying i still believe that there are better ways to get good at riding but its fine you keep doing you

 you ain't wrong...props to you for calling it out.

 @luckynugget: yup me and those kooks spend a lot of time on the podiums. Been running my mouth in this industry for about 30 years now. You? I will be at all the BC Cups this summer if you wanna come runs yours up close and personal. hahaha

 @ColbyKolar1: Find something deeper, lets try it. A completely Caucasian company stole (they didnt license the music) the property of a racially marginalized person in order to make it appear like they have more "street cred" for the purpose of increasing profits. Damn, you're right, when you dig deeper it only gets worse...

 @bikeparkmemes: Lmfao how do they get "street cred" for that like nobody gives af and how does it increase profits its not like you can hear the music before you open the video to know if you will like it

 @C4coach: Still making threats and trying to get physical I see, norco would be proud. I stopped racing long ago. Great to see your still up to the same shit.

 @luckynugget: Funny thing is too that all the kids that are getting coached dropped like a grand just to get sent to do cone training drills lmao

 @C4coach: @norcobicycles come get yo mans

 @luckynugget: haha. I was talking about music, this turned into an attack pretty quick fella's. Never threatened anyone I merely said to approach me in person with your thoughts and opinions at this season's upcoming BC Cup. Pretty easy to sit behind your screen and insult myself and my team/program when I have no clue who you are bud. @norcobicycles is very aware of who I am. The good and the not so good. Guess I am a human after all. Cheers fella's. Go ride yer bikes.

 @C4coach: Just like I remember you Cory. You told my (15 year old) buddy "he should watch his back" after he said you should be coaching world cups after all this time. You called me dumb for not buying your shitty aurum lol. People remember things, the world is a small place. The same teenagers you shit talked at the races have grown up and found places in the industry. If your threats are open to interpretation its best not to make them at all.

 the N word is not in my Reggae playlist of about 20,000 tunes. just saying I muted the sound track

 @luckynugget: I made a lot of mistakes in my life and I am sure there is context associated with my comments. People take the good with the bad in life and I generally try and make things right. Guess that is the ebb and flow of it all. I am not the kind of guy that says "to watch your back" as I deal with things head on. I may have told him to "watch his mouth" as he was a 15 year old kid and by the sounds of it lipping me off. Tell him cheers and I will buy you both a beer and move forward. I used to let things get to me more but even us old dawgs can learn. Cory.

 Maybe your taking thinks a bit too literally here bud. Often war is used as a metaphor for some type of conflict or struggle or contest. For example when you go see a "battle of the bands" you probably aren't going to see the bands hacking at each other with swords.

 Could agree more about the song.

 He didn't get feet to pedals, but he rode away, ill call that a land. Also, that's pretty stupid what you're saying about the track. "If you wouldn't use that language don't ride to it" has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Ignorantly assuming that listening and promoting music that was created by someone outside of your perceived culture is somehow offensive. Ironically you are actually attempting to stifle the art of a racial group by saying you can't listen to or use their music if you "don't use the language". Sorry for the rant but I'm tired of snowflakes assuming they know what is offensive to others.

 Here here. I was about to say the same thing. White boys (and girls) can be big fans of rap, be entertained by it, jam out to it, and get psyched up by it, but incorporating the N-word into your soundtrack (and thus your product) isn't okay. Black people can say it/play it/sell it all day long if they want to, but if you're not black you can't. And please, no ignorant devil's advocate replies. It just makes the rest of us depressed that you still exist.

 @yoonytoons: BASED

 You’re actually being more divisive here. Seems like you think there should be some sort of segregation of who can use certain types of music. Hmmm

 @KoanB: so Hitler could make jew jokes and no one else?

 @KoanB: you clearly don’t have black friends do you? Cause black people don’t give a shit about stuff like this, there’s way bigger issues to worry about.

 That is an absolutely ludicrous thing to post on a global MTB website, for all kinds of reasons. What are you thinking?

 have you been dropped on your head

 already made the comment on the music. You're right as well - contrast this with Brendog!

 I'll probably get downvoted to oblivion for saying this, but I can't stand Paul's attitude towards his "failures". I completely understand that it's an unbelievable amount of work and dedication that goes into this level of riding (the moves in this video are unreal), and how frustrating it must be to blow it on a potentially once in a lifetime Crankworx run, or a worlds first trick. I'm no pro athlete obviously, but I've had my fair share of battles with tricks; trying things over 100 times to land it once, 2 years learning tail whips, broke my leg and tore 6 ligaments trying to tailwhip to bar spin. Does the bike win sometimes? Of course, but the process and battles are what make it fun and rewarding.

The depressing "lying awake at night" and "being distant from friends and feeling alone" vibe in this video (and any other displays he has put on after crashing out at Crankworx and such) are cringe at best. It seems attention-seeking, and the whole "victim" or whatever vibe he's trying to go after just detracts from the fact that he is one of the most creative and underrated riders in the world. This whole video makes me feel like Paul doesn't love, or even like what he does, and he seems to be contemplating his life choices A LOT in this video. At least, that's how it comes across... which is a shame.

 @leon-forfar: just ssshhhhhhhhs

 Paul really should have consulted you on what music you like before he dropped this

 @luckynugget: it was just a point to discuss. No big deal.

 Vulgar and insensitive lyrics. .

 @luckynugget: maybe he fell on his head too many times and thinks that crap is music
