You know is huge when three riders train are all in the air at the same jump

When you watch the movie it looks massive.. but when you stand there as a person ... you just really get like overwhelmed by the gigantic jumps... I thought like... if someone is getting short on one jump... he crashes flat into the front end of the landing.. and dies looking like a cornflake...

Bas looked the most comfortable on those massive jumps. Love fest, and I actually really love dirt biking but I kinda would love this event more sans dirtbikes. Oh well, it's still top notch shit. Guess Rat was only there testing the jumps out?

You know you're good when you're manualing into the biggest step down ever created. Wow

rcrdrvr (Jul 28, 2017 at 23:25)

Krill, Ratty and Bas...OMFG. Bas lovin that shit. Fuckin grand slam of an event. Stoked to see all the new additions and of course the normal kings of the jumps.

I think Rat had limited time to be there, because he went from there pretty much straight to the states. I would imagine Andreu is also on a tight schedule as he also seems to be at any Fest for a short time as well.

rcrdrvr (Jul 28, 2017 at 23:33)

He was playing on those jumps by the end of the first practice...in his normal tail whipin stylin it out kinda way.

Havent seen Benderoni in a while!

BeardlessMarinRider (Jul 28, 2017 at 22:20)

Yep, and I hope he enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than Rampage! I might be doing the other events a disservice... but this stop seemed to pull together the widest variety of riders from a range of backgrounds and locations and the organisers have to get props for that. Anyone who hit even a single jump at that crazy place is worthy of respect in my eyes.

any update on Remy?

RedBurn (Jul 28, 2017 at 23:53)

He overshot the last jump?

bartcautaerts (Jul 29, 2017 at 0:20)

Punctured lung and some broken bones. It'll take time to heal but he'll be back.

wolf (Jul 29, 2017 at 3:27)

@bartcautaerts: that was a nasty one , we saw the landing , did you see that frontwheel , and boxxer ......

bonkywonky (Jul 29, 2017 at 0:41)

No he's trying his hand at professional fly fishing...

RedBurn (Jul 29, 2017 at 2:58)

@bonkywonky: i personnaly heard he wanted to become pro at playing darts

hardcoredarb (Jul 29, 2017 at 8:23)

Crazy, I was there and had no idea Lacondeguy was around, guess he was doing the mx stuff?

LiquidSpin (Jul 28, 2017 at 17:07)

That was intense! Nico Vink knows how to make proper jumps

rcrdrvr (Jul 29, 2017 at 0:11)

and beyond knows how to ride em

Toofastnotsofurious (Jul 28, 2017 at 17:01)

nug12182 (Jul 28, 2017 at 16:11)

More of this shit all the time please!!!

kmg0 (Jul 28, 2017 at 21:49)

love giant jumps, motos, and the sword. sign me up

Dennisvdb (Jul 29, 2017 at 12:15)

Next time don't mention Sunday on the flyer. Drove 4 fucking hours to find a site where there's no big line riding, and everybody's already packed to go home.

bartcautaerts (Jul 29, 2017 at 15:24)

It was also raining...

dirtmcgirt (Jul 31, 2017 at 13:21)

I remember that place without the bikepark. A national Dh championships about fifteen years ago. A grassy field, some tape to mark a course, a few lips without a landing... the sport has evolved!

JackSC (Jul 28, 2017 at 19:32)

Joel Anderson for best trick

suspended-flesh FL (Jul 28, 2017 at 16:06)

Loose AFest!

mkjamison (Jul 28, 2017 at 16:48)

Where is Ethan Nell!?

hdeboissard FL (Jul 29, 2017 at 5:28)

He was on the east coast coaching at highland mountain bike park. Think he like missed a flight or something to be there.

bigburd (Jul 29, 2017 at 2:19)

Now I have to go and ride the mole hills I consider a big jumps, ego deflation !

Krzymndyd (Jul 29, 2017 at 6:21)

Not really a fan of moto in mtb videos

nwjekyll (Jul 29, 2017 at 7:18)

Where's Aggy been?

dawgdude (Jul 29, 2017 at 11:02)

I was wondering the same thing. I'm pretty sure he took a pretty bad crash earlier in the event. Hope he is doing ok!

seankc (Jul 30, 2017 at 0:47)

Saw him up in whistler a couple weeks back, think he was doing some coaching. Looks like he’s been taking it a bit easy

dawgdude (Jul 29, 2017 at 11:02)

The Stoke is powerful! Very powerful!

rhyssutton (Jul 30, 2017 at 10:50)

Awesome

indotrails (Jul 28, 2017 at 19:25)

Now they allow motorbike as well? Thought it was bicycle exclusive.

rumblefish255 (Jul 28, 2017 at 22:59)

They've been inviting Moro guys since the beginning. I think it's sick. 2 strokes, DH bikes and huge jumps. Some of the best things on this planet all in one.

hardcoredarb (Jul 29, 2017 at 8:25)

It was sick watching the moto guys in a train with the bikes. Really brought a whole new vibe to the event and the crowd was loving it.

Fifty50Grip (Jul 28, 2017 at 23:01)

Intense all the waayee. Video over, now must un clench my butt cheeks.

b4uwereborn (Jul 29, 2017 at 8:43)

YES..oh..YES!!!!

Pierso FL (Jul 29, 2017 at 10:03)

Moto Is The Roots Of Big Bicycle Designs. DH Is Moto Inspired. People Making Comments About Motos Being Included Really DONT GET IT AT ALL... SUPERCO.com Has Some Great History along With Early DH pioneering Of Suspension Frames Under The BROOKLYN MACHINE WORKS Brand Read Up On Your Chosen Sport Before wanting to Exclude The Machines that Inspiried Suspension on Bicycles.. IF YOU DONT LIKE MOTOS INCLUDED IN THESE JAMS YOU ARE IN THE WRONG PLACE

I've watched a lot of bike videos throughout the years. Not uncoincidentally, I've also listened to a lot of shitty music. But this takes the prize. Without a doubt, the shittiest music I've ever heard in a bike video. With motorcycles.

bonkywonky (Jul 29, 2017 at 0:45)

Is it really that hard for you to mute the sound and put on some nickelback/spice girls/50 cent/ whatever great music taste you must have?

610slayter (Jul 29, 2017 at 4:53)

yeah and im not a fan of a guy who seemed to be just a down to earth guy that just wanted to ride in his videos but really turned out to be a little whining pb pussy..

BeardlessMarinRider (Jul 29, 2017 at 5:08)

@bonkywonky: Best comment I've read for a while

stacykohut (Jul 29, 2017 at 7:28)

@sandboass: ahhh. muffin.

its okay, just count to 10 and hold yourself tight.

stacykohut (Jul 29, 2017 at 7:29)

@bonkywonky: says the euro.

mollow (Jul 29, 2017 at 15:54)

@stacykohut:

At least they're not 4 wheeling

bonkywonky (Jul 29, 2017 at 17:03)

@stacykohut: Seriously? The UK brought us drum n bass and dubstep, Germany brought us techno (together with Detroit) and minimal, France brought us Cassius/Etienne de Crecy/Air/Justice, Austria brought us Kruder&Dorfmeister, the Dutch invented gabba and you're telling me "the euros" (should have stopped reading at that point) have no taste in music?
