Must Watch: 'Rowdy Nines,' the Full Audi Nines Recap

Aug 30, 2021 at 9:31
by Alicia Leggett  

bigquotesThe amount that can happen in a short space of time is simply astounding. In only a mere matter of days, the Birkenfeld Quarry in Germany’s Hunsrück-Nahe bike region has seen everything from riders pushing through personal limits, lay down multiple world-first and huge trains featuring 36 crack men and women from around the globe. These are the defining moments that make up the somewhat rowdy Audi Nines family.

Freeride Lines, Slopestyle Lines, Jam Lines and Big Air have been well and truly shredded, and all the action is packed into this banger of an edit. Riders have innovated, slammed, persevered and celebrated together in the Quarry of Dreams. Sit back and bear witness to the savage skills of these men and women in the full ‘Rowdy Nines’ edit, showcasing all of the mountain bike madness that went down at Audi Nines 2021 presented by Falken.—Audi Nines

 Beautiful chaos.
I'm gonna stick my neck out for this statement, "Robin's gonna be one of the best multi discipline rider in a few months time." her progression is of the charts.

 @thechunderdownunder: At 40, I'm working on my back flip to dirt, but due to the pandemic my access to foampits has dwindled. #nevertoolate

 @megatryn: The pandemic will pass sooner or later. Age is just a number, keep slaying it. Look at Minnaar!

 @megatryn: at 47 i've ridden my DJ more than ever during the past year. It can be enouraging or discouraging to see kids under 10 progress so fast, but I've improved too, and somehow manged to stay healthy (knock on wood). I've got backflip to dirt on my bucket list, and it will happen; it's a commited but actually pretty easy trick once your body understands the motion. My immediate goals through the end of the year are suicides (they just started clicking over the last couple of weeks), barspins and 3's. #dirtjumpingdads

 Never have I been more humbled on a bike than I am now after watching that. Holy shit, that was so good!

 The number of double backflips in the montage scenes is ridiculous. Just a few years ago that (or corked 7's) was contest winning, now it might not get you to the finals. And the women have progressed even faster; ~3 years ago would anyone other than Casey or Joey hit those jumps, now you've got an entire crew, plus they're landing huge bags of tricks to boot. Amazing!

 Nicolai Rogatkin seems to be at 11 all day every day. The guys too lit to quit
  • 1 1
 I would put money on the chance he likely gets maybe 4-5 hours a night of sleep, and he's up and ready to go. Probably supernatural 6am every day. I on the other hand get up at 8am, but probably don't actually wake up for at least an hour and a half, and even when I do, I am legit tired all day... FML...
