Finally a clip without little skids all over the place entering the corners, those guys were hauling ass. I like the way the can pedal through that stuff and get the power down and soak up the terrain at the same time, very skilled riders. Corner speed was amazing.

Hey guys! Thanks for watching our video! Sorry about riding "smooth trails" We just wanted to come with a video with something new from Bromont... We filmed in all the other trails in the past years and we wanted to shoot in different trails for this year's edit. We'll definitely take note of your comments and we'll come up with something thatwe hope you'll like in 2014!! Cheers guys! Go ride your damn bike now!

Do you at least have links for the other steeper tails that have been video recorded?

Finnaly a video without whips! Starting to hate them, cuz every video has at least half of it whips inside.. Nice to see shreding not just getting pussys wet

JoseBravo (Nov 2, 2013 at 11:19)

I loved the video, but I love whips too.

I definitely don't look like that when I'm riding Bromont. Smooth.

Killer fall riding!!

m47h13u (Nov 3, 2013 at 7:34)

Tippie, you need to come down to Bromont at least once next summer, especially since this place is sponsored by Rocky Mountain.

WonderAnt10 (Nov 3, 2013 at 15:20)

Agreed! I'd so come out for a day of riding with Tipple!

myanh (Nov 1, 2013 at 20:41)

Nice to see my local mountain !!)

norton81 (Nov 1, 2013 at 4:56)

Nice vid. Looks like really nice riding out your way.

fantaman (Nov 2, 2013 at 3:18)

Bromont looks like a great place to ride your bike,wish i had such places to ride

SirWilhelm (Nov 2, 2013 at 12:17)

Great video. I love videos like this that you watch and could do everything with your friends just a a quarter of the speed. Crazy cornering and 2.00 was sick.

godroxs (Nov 1, 2013 at 20:36)

Pinned!!!!

mark3 (Nov 2, 2013 at 12:49)

hey guys i'm sorry if I offended anyone, I didn't say bromont is an easy place to ride, I've never even been there or seen it, I just meant the trails they were on in the vid didn't really need a full on dh bike. imo an am bike would be great on them I also wish those trails were close to me as i'd be riding them regularly for sure

andytheaussie (Nov 2, 2013 at 13:14)

I have to say I did think the same thing. Awesome riding, without a doubt but those trails do look very smooth.

PLC07 (Nov 3, 2013 at 1:12)

They're the easiest trails on the mountain. Some of the trails there hardly ever get any riders because they're that steep and gnarly. Hell, the worldcup gets so little riders that it is overgrown by grass/weed which is not a problem anywhere else. Some of the sections of the 19, 23 and 24 are also something "special". The big line in the bike park with the drop and two 45' jumps doesn't see get much action either.

It's not as crazy as mont sainte-anne but it's definitely not an easy mountain to ride. Most beginners only ride one or two tracks.

SithBike (Nov 3, 2013 at 4:27)

bb7-416-rider (Nov 2, 2013 at 17:16)

Great vid ! Too bad they only actually showed one or two trails. And the easiest ones at that lol. You can ride those trails wicked fast even on a hardtail, lets see some footage of the technical trails IE 75% of the hill .

crazedmodder (Nov 2, 2013 at 20:39)

Not all of it is technical in that video but there is quite a bit in there. That gap at the end though!

Bastien Major might be the greatest name ever

basmajor (Nov 3, 2013 at 1:54)

Hahaha! Thanks man! I'll give a shout to my dad!!

motoman2100 (Nov 3, 2013 at 7:00)

not to mention the riding that the three of your guys put on display is something to aspire to when I'm on my wheels.

trailblitz (Nov 1, 2013 at 21:14)

Now I really regret not going to Bromont when I had a chance in September

mcluckiec (Nov 3, 2013 at 13:40)

How do you get that fast and how do you get that confidence in your tyres to grip??

hedmisten (Nov 2, 2013 at 11:56)

AWESOME video! Anyone know the music?

motoman2100 (Nov 2, 2013 at 18:16)

its in the credits, Panama- Always good tune

jfseguin (Nov 2, 2013 at 19:56)

Awsome video! Get well soon Guillaume

Nshore3 (Nov 1, 2013 at 22:10)

Bromont rivals the best

bgee (Nov 2, 2013 at 5:15)

Yep, Bromont is right up there with Whistler for awesomeness, not at all as epic but the riding is that good.

oweNickel (Nov 2, 2013 at 2:39)

Can't wait to give this a go next year! Quebec has some awesome riding.

mark3 (Nov 2, 2013 at 3:28)

fast and fun looking trails, I don't think you need a full on dh bike to ride them though

crazy-canuck (Nov 2, 2013 at 5:33)

Bromont a actually for the most part a pretty rough racer shaped hill, but it does have a few smooth sections or easy trails, which they were on most of the time including the old WC course.

ka-brap (Nov 2, 2013 at 6:10)

That edit only showed a small selection of the trails. Bromont has some really gnarly, rocky terrain especially the World Cup track, which is one of Sam Hill's favorites. Bromont is definitely one of the best places to shred on the eastern coast of Canada/USA.

RoverDover (Nov 2, 2013 at 6:47)

they didnt show the top of the old WC course! It is Heinous!

myanh (Nov 2, 2013 at 9:13)

Hey mark3 you didnt see the rest of the mountain believe me it s not flat like uk ! Cheers mate

z05m (Nov 2, 2013 at 10:03)

Trust me, Bromont has a lot of Technical and Challenging trails. I ride there all summer long. I see these guys at the bike park and yes they are really that fast. I try to keep up but then just end up eating their dust

freerabbit (Nov 2, 2013 at 17:39)

We were there this september with our AM bikes and we had a blast. You just won't go the same speed as with a full DH rig in the more technical trails, but still, it's damn fun. Definitely not flat...

dingo-dave (Nov 2, 2013 at 8:42)

It's always fun watching you guys blast those trails... good on ya!

luis-beri (Nov 2, 2013 at 10:19)

nice trails & riding!!!

sewer-rat FL (Nov 2, 2013 at 12:35)

Awesome vid cause there's hardly any slow mo!

baftijari (Nov 2, 2013 at 15:42)

one of my favorites video!

pestomiguel (Nov 1, 2013 at 23:33)

Wow. So effing pinned

rapit2theredline (Nov 1, 2013 at 21:41)

I didn't know American classic made dh wheels?

basmajor (Nov 1, 2013 at 22:09)

Sadly they are removing them from their line-up in 2014... to focus more on XC/AM wheels.

trailstar2danman (Nov 2, 2013 at 6:40)

Bromont Rules.. ....

revell (Nov 2, 2013 at 7:52)

Aesome video !

trails801 (Nov 2, 2013 at 10:42)

Quois madness!

timbob5 (Nov 2, 2013 at 2:41)

Those trails looked great fun. Downhill bikes looked kind of overkill though. Stumpy or camber bikes would have been cool.

ChrisRidesBikes (Nov 2, 2013 at 4:18)

Was skiing there a few days over the last winter, the trails they were riding mostly were the green/blue ski runs which are pretty wide open, there's plenty of tracks in there that even under snow it was easy to tell they'd be full on tracks. Check out Connor Fearon's video from there earlier in the year to see some of the rougher stuff.

RoverDover (Nov 2, 2013 at 6:46)

You just saw the smoothest trails on the mountain! I have ridden there since 1993 on all kinds of bikes, and the more suspension the better. There are trails I just wont ride with my AM bike because I like my wheels nice and round just as they are!

timbob5 (Nov 2, 2013 at 18:18)

Ah okay, they were riding the smoothest trails then. Make a vid showing those technical trails then. Sorry, but what. These guys will be great at riding groomed trails. They put out a good edit

SithBike (Nov 3, 2013 at 4:21)

Below threshold threads are hidden

gwhalen3 (Nov 2, 2013 at 21:11)

Whats the point of 8 inches of suspension when all they ride is groomed dirt roads????1!! These bike parks are just retarding MOUNTAIN BIKING!!!!! with their groomed bullshit!!!!

PLC07 (Nov 3, 2013 at 1:54)

It's just a feel good edit in the easiest trails. Some of the trails/sections there are only ridden by like 5% of the riders and they would most likely send you to the hospital so 8" is fully justified in those areas.

ka-brap (Nov 3, 2013 at 8:37)

@gwhalen - Bromont is one of the few bike parks that actually has a super wide variety of terrain. Yes there are smooth flowy sections, but then there are many very technical trails to rival what we have here in the Alps. Before you bash it, take a trip there and see if you can manage it yourself.

Dustfarter (Nov 1, 2013 at 20:42)

Those are some fun looking sidewalks they we're riding. Groomed to death!

Canadmos FL (Nov 1, 2013 at 21:06)

Bromont is anything but groomed...

bigburd (Nov 2, 2013 at 3:06)

Thats what I thought Dustfarter , that one bit thats like 10 foot wide disabled access path

pioterski (Nov 2, 2013 at 11:40)

40 seconds of sponsor bullcrap in a 3:30 video. WTF?

andytheaussie (Nov 2, 2013 at 13:17)

Yeah you're right mate. Really sucks to watch that on a FREE video. (roll eyes)
