Almost immediately after Rough AF dropped last December, freeride legend Jordie Lunn returned to his second home, the deep woods of Vancouver Island, to dig and build fresh new line lines. Nearly half a year later, the result were lines - or at least what Jordie calls lines - that define what 'Rough AF' really means.

bigquotesThe build for Rough AF 2 was much more ambitious than the first! About five months of hard digging, cutting and wondering how each line would ride. There were definitely a few stunts that had me second guessing myself! It was a super fun project, and everything rode quite well in the end. I was pumped for Kali's support on this build and for sending Sterling Lorence over! It had been quite a few years since we've shot together, so I was pretty excited to show him what I'd been working on. On to the next build now!" - Jordie Lunn

 You just know that if the builds look gnarly on camera then they're filthy in person! The Lunnaissance is real.

 Think about having to climb up there to nail in those pieces. Are you kidding me? Then think about hiking your bike up there. . . . then riding it. wow.

 mad respect for Jordie, makes my builds look like smurfs stuff !!!

pd: you know he's serious when he's the one filming the guinea pigging on rampage's sickest lines with his phone.

 @rrolly: I think that roll in looked sketchier to build and get up than to ride... and it still looked sketch to ride!

 Jordie still killing it after all these years. That build though is pure insanity! @scottsecco if you make a sequel to builder I think you gotta put jordie in it.

 @scotttherider: is this the same Jordie all the way back from ROAM?

 I live in Victoria BC and have seen this in person and it is yuuuuuge. I have climbed up that wooden roller coaster and would never imagine riding down that with a bike. It's madness

 @hamncheez this is the biggest I've seen him go. He's always been a badass.

 I've never thought to myself, let's go build a line where I can cork-7 my downhill bike. Dude's a f'n legend in my book.

 I wonder... If Jordie got together with Dan Atherton, what kind of sick bastard love child of a track would they come up with?!



Just the roll in just had me going "nope....nope.... no no no... nope"... Bit sketchy when wet?

 I honestly don't even know where to start? That was thesikest video I think I have EVER seen! The features and builds were off the chart! So sick! More than anything I just wanna shake Jordies hand buy him a beer and then go build Rough AF3 with him! The features were so Inspirational and Fu king HUGE!!! That cliff drop! WTF! Awesome build, awesome riding and awesome edit! I'm gonna go watch it again!

 This edit is sick, the build, the lines, the riding are all raw, beautiful, and perfectly done. The gap over that huge dead tree, the step down, that roll in, and what about that crazy wall feature at the end? Honestly love to see how Kali is sponsering guys who are out there pushing the limits of sanity like Lynn and McDuff. We need more sponsors who are interested in supporting freeriders/creative geniuses/complete lunitics.

 Dope! That vignette though...
  • 17 10
 Yeah, for me the editing ruined the flow of the video a tad! Far too erratic with slo mo use
  • 9 1
 @jezzah: The editing is fine. The only negative to this video is the mentioned vignette. Found myself cranking the brightness on my display to get a clearer view.

 Good to see him progressing I've never even seen the guy 360 a dh big lol still wish he did the signature "nothing" in there somewhere tho..
  • 6 5
 He's been doing corked 7s for about a decade now.....
  • 2 0
 @scott-townes: on a dh bike??? I know he's done then on a dj but dj/slope bikes but they take less effort to get a corked 7 stomped then a dh rig why else does everyone start with a dj? My point was I've never seen the guy 360 a dh bike so seeing him go straight for the 720 for the vid was crazy
