Yoann Barelli's abilities with a cyclocross bike have been well documented before, but in this edit, the flying Frenchman takes things to the next level as he takes on the infamous Full Nelson trail in Squamish, BC. Be prepared to reassess your descending abilities and to fully understand how truly gifted the worlds top racers are at riding bikes - any bikes - on the gnarliest of terrain...
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if dozens of spokes cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened...to Yoann's wheels.
Yes.. Probably, I don't know for a fact? By no means am I claiming to be anywhere near as good a rider. But the difference between MTB and CX bike is quite significant. Way to take things seriously 'Murican
My favorite enduro rider out there !!! SO talented and funny, always a smile on his face... The Reign Pro will be my next bike, I love giant, thanks for this vid !!!
Edits with no crappy music sure are refreshing. Just the natural sounds a bicycle makes as it shreds loam.
I wonder, however, if we weren't all too cheap to pay licensing for more popular music, if edits would be better. I would love to make an edit of my local DH trails to Separate Ways from Journey:
Call me old fashioned but I always wanted a fecap from World Champs with Madonna in the background. Or play Metallica in a Specialized promo, If you know where I'm getting with this...
This is really odd. If you take a look at the Giant Trance the describtion says that it's not made for jumping and both wheel should stay on the ground, and at the same time one of the Giant sponsered athletes jumps around on a cycle cross bike? I'm confused...
nope. this isn’t the first edit they made of a professional who isn’t officially sponsored by them. happens in skiing/snowboarding more often, though.
I like that he likes his bikes noisy. He's also very good at making the noises with his mouth. They should make a video with him doing the sound effects while he's riding.
He is not the first rider who doing this. Who is interesting see also Brumotti's freestyle on road bike on youtube! It is even more awesome! To see just type "Brumotti Road Bike Freestyle" in youtube search.
I dunno dude that huck out of the berm at 34 seconds is not easy especially on a cx bike. Definitely way harder and more risker to do that then a lap of AM imo. Next time your're there you should give it a go you'll realise the speed he was going on a cx bike.

he takes on the infamous Full Nelson trail in Squamish, BC is what is say and have you checked out the beginning of the video where it also says squamish when he crosses the intersection!
You need to settle down, PB has made the appropriate edit. When the article was released, it made reference to Full Nelson being in NELSON, BC. It has since been corrected by PB. Look at the comment from PiP0228 above to see what the original text said.
You can stop being the keyboard hero now.
I actually prefer Half Nelson to Full Nelson. Shorter access and longer trail! I ride it on an almost weekly basis in the 'non-rainy' season here in the Sea to Sky corridor.

Great riding dude!
That riding, though. Insane!

Still, I wouldn't even ride Half Nelson on a CX bike, so I'm not one to talk for sure. I'd ride it to the Howe Sound Inn pub, maybe.
Ah shi*t. Who am I kidding....not even half the style.
