Loic Bruni is the current DH Elite Men's World Champion and one of the best mountain bikers France has ever seen. Spending most of his off-season in Queenstown, New Zealand helps him get a lot of laps out of the bike park and get his set up dialled. But we decided it would be more fun to bust out a lap of him smashing some turns and answering your questions from social media. Including one about fighting Aaron Gwin... Enjoy!
this would be super super cool if PB could turn this into a series! all different racers just talking about lines and riding/life in a laid back setting. enjoyed this very much! bruni is such a ripper!
@WAKIdesigns: I'm attracted like a magnet to anything that resembles an inside line. Unfortunately, half of me is English, which f*cks things right up.
Oh I love to offend people because it always hits people who I'd gladly offend... I admire Loic a lot, his riding is in this vid is just mind blowing, loved it, looked at it like a 12 year old at dads Playboy, but make one joke, in fact one that is made very often (Fab Barel got some real sht on this site) but no OMG this Waki guy is sooo Offensiiiiive...
@WAKIdesigns: I think it's more the fact that you don't seem to have a life and feel this insurmountable desire to comment on EVERY SINGLE THING on Pinkbike that pisses people off.
Bruni looks fitter than we’ve ever seen him, and so fast and smooth. Bummer he missed the first round, but at least he’s healed up and should be back quick. Should make the rest of the season really interesting.
I have Kings and I9's. They do get a bit loud when you don't maintain them properly. But in some cases they work well when you understand the noise and can relate that to the speed you are going to hit jumps at the pace you need. Cheers.
@rideonjon: yeh, I was doing that for a while but only lasts a few rides before back to loud. Can't really be bothered to re-grease every few rides. It's still a very reliable hub though so I'm reluctant to replace it.
The guy who did the edit was surely entertaining himself and somehow forgot to close pornhub...

Anyway, kudos to Loic for his flowly-f*cking-fast-flying-over-shit riding style and thanks PB for this kind of videos, hope to see more like that (even with cripsy audio easter eggs!)

Probably the best cornering I´ve ever seen, he has got the power of Fearon combined with an easiness from Minaar.
