Amazing vid and amazing life you're having Yannick! Super motivating. (Tailwhip to indie was sick)

Great vid, great spirit, great life. I really like his statement that he is not about winning.

Just a thought, but if you care what the public perception of MTB is, or is you concern yourself with trail access, perhaps it may not be best to call your MTB / Moto film WILDERNESS.

If the old hikers who make the laws think that WE think this is what wilderness means, then I think it's safe to say we have a long road to travel yet when it comes to gaining larger acceptance of MTB.

Unfortunately, the concept of wilderness in Europe and North America are two vastly different concepts. Europe killed off all of the large animals and a large number of forested areas many years ago. That's why when they come to NA, the concept of them even seeing a deer is monumental. Meanwhile in the PNW I have elk and deer wandering around our house like a herd of overbred rabbits, and bears coming down the mountain on garbage day like heffers at a Golden Corral. Wilderness to us means exposed to the elements, no safety net, and no civilization. To Europeans, it means they went outside.

@mtnbykr05: .....'Wilderness to us means exposed to the elements, no safety net, and no civilization. To Europeans, it means they went outside.....'

very good point!

@mtnbykr05: That's sounds harsh but it's true. The scarcity of wildlife in western EU should be a warning to all. Coincidentally, yesterday there was a video clip on sfgate.com of a mountain lion sauntering down the street in front of some billionaires (Benioff) house in Pac Heights (urban SF but somewhat near parks) - made me a little proud, actually.

how does a guys that doesn't really win comps gets all this? And I wonder how many times people have confused him for Andreu haha- they should get a shirt or a cap saying "I'm not Andeu! I'm Yannick!" and "I'm not Yannick! I'm Andreu!"

WHERES ALL THE EBIKE HATERS???

MOTOR + BIKE = MOTORBIKE!!!!

THIS IS MTN BIKE WEB SITE KEEP THE MOTOR GARBAGE OFF THIS SITE!

freedy98 (Nov 6, 2017 at 11:13)

Ok lets get one thing straight, moto is completely different from ebikes. Motocross is for sick air and sweet roosts ebikes are for newbs who cant climb a mountain. Pinkbike has always diversified a little, did you see all the ski videos on the movies for your Monday? I think its cool and seeing a little moto is fun! My only problem is he has all these sweet toys and I wish I could just have one of those things.

otto99 (Nov 6, 2017 at 12:49)

@freedy98: NOPE MOTOR + BIKE = MOTORBIKE.

I LEARNED IT HERE ON PINK BIKE.

@otto99: full size motos aren't masquerading as non-motorized vehicles that should be allowed on non-motorized trails, so there's no issue.

I do think motorized access should be allowed in more places, but you have to choose your battles.

@CaptainBLT: I'm addressing the herds faulty logic here on PB.
