Video: Top to Bottom With Loic Bruni as He Shreds the Queenstown Bike Park

May 28, 2018
by Pinkbike Staff  

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!

 “Tree was in the way” - AKA “I was going for a French line...” Those frog eating basterds just can’t help themselves!

 @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.

 @WAKIdesigns: You guys eat Surstroemming. What are you even on about?
  • 6 2
 @colincolin: Surstroeming is more ethical!

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.

 am I the only one who finds loud hubs annoying?
  • 4 1
 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.

 no, youre not the only one. but youre all wrong

 Got a Hope Pro 4 Evo hub. I've tried everything to quieten it but nothing works. I can see a new Shimano silent hub on the horizon.

 I used to like loud hubs till i got quiet ones.. now i hate loud hubs

 Mine are relatively quiet, but I'd love to try the new Shimano's where all I hear is tread on dirt.

 @tremeer023: try some thicker grease on the pauls.
  • 1 0
 @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.

 I've never got how some people cry about a little bit of chain slap and put the most heinously noisy hubs on their bikes lol

 Loïc, I don't think "fetish meal" means the same thing in English.

 The guy who did the edit was surely entertaining himself and somehow forgot to close pornhub...

(Check the sound around 0"26)

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!)

 I begin to think that he´s done this before.

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