A lot of what Yoann does now is vids with a lot of POV. For the love of Christ, can someone get him a modern camera with high quality motion stabilization?!?!

I actually bought this gopro from Remy last year, I call for sabotage hahahaha !!!

In this video it looks like the low light is responsible for the mediocre stabilization... North Shore forests are dark and as a result hard to film stable POV. Same trail in the summer would look a lot better, I bet. That said, there could be a way to throw some money at it and make the footage better.

@yoannbarelli: make sure to clean out all the baguette crumbs first

@krustykarlos: honestly, imo the best camera is the sony fdr-x3000. the formfactor may not quite be as good as the gopro, but in terms of video quality and stabilization its outstanding. optical stabilizer FTW even in dark environment.

One of the main aspects why these videos are my absolute favorite is not only the riding skills but also the buddy-vibes between these guys! So fun to watch. It feels like watching some friends holiday video diaries :-D

Wouldn't slide down that on my butt.

I always wonder who else rides stuff like this...I sometimes look at TF after Yoann´s or Remy´s videos to see the ridelogs at some of those double blacks and it looks like people ride them like as they were some easy trails...

hurmikak (Apr 6, 2022 at 3:47)

People just walk it along the bike

Or maybe some local hardcore riders who do not need to put everything on YT just ride it like we ride single black diamond trails

More bro hugs than Remy is comfortable with lol , Although we all could use a friend like Yoann to express such of joy of life this day and age.

ktmrider143 (Apr 6, 2022 at 5:57)

I think its awesome how all the guys are scared, study it and fire it up, then Remy drops last and always adds more flare than anyone...guy is just amazing on a bike.

While Remys skills are not to be questioned, I enjoyed the first vid from Steve the most.

Wetworks73 (Apr 6, 2022 at 5:57)

Contrast in mindset; Remy clears his tires of mud, Yoann's tires look like road slicks.

All 3 of you kick ass, great vid!!!

rrolly (Apr 6, 2022 at 6:56)

Ya, definitely shows the different approaches and personalities. FWIW, Remy's first line was the cleanest. He is so precise.

ace! thanks guys, started the day with a huge smile!

manhattanprjkt83 (Apr 6, 2022 at 6:25)

IMO Yoann's channel is the best bike related youtube channel out there. Most are trash. Love to watch these guys construct/discuss/ride all these great features.

rodeostu (Apr 7, 2022 at 7:26)

I love the way Yoann is always happy when doing stuff at the absolute limits of what's possible and survivable on a bike. Kind of reminds me of Valentino Rossi, who treated doing the same kind of thing at absurd speeds on a bike as goofing around.

wolftwenty1 FL (Apr 6, 2022 at 7:10)

Remy looking jacked these days. Cleanest landing too.

PB-J (Apr 6, 2022 at 2:57)

Love it! Bunch of nutters!! Keep up the good vibes

That was awesome. Great content coming from this Trio.

20+ mins is waaay too long. Def a fan of the videos but my attention span is not long enough to watch more than 3-5 mins. My $0.02.

in all respect, i couldn't watch any of Yoans edits when he was a racer, it's even worse now. i "forced" myself to watch this video however i had to stop right after the intro...
this guy is just way too nervous and "all eyes on me". reminds me of a 15 year old boy trying to prove himself.

it just makes his edits unwatchable for me. judging by his view numbers i know i am alone in this crowd

When commenting online, in a public forum, always ask yourself the question, "Would I say the same thing to their face?". If the answer is no, then keep your thoughts to yourself.

At least have the decency to insult people behind their backs...

Tuna-Flapjack (Apr 5, 2022 at 23:58)

@jenksy: Strava says you're slow.

danstonQ (Apr 6, 2022 at 0:08)

@jenksy: you're perfectly right... but he didn't "insult" anyone and his observation is kind of true and legit.

sack-zement (Apr 6, 2022 at 1:19)

@jenksy: if i'd know him personaly i'd totally tell him, why wouldn't I? Since it's not "insulting", which would be absulutely unneccessairy.
So Yoan, if you're reding this sorry to not knowing you personally but hey i don't like your videos, they're to nervous for me and unenjoyable.

I used to think like this and then I grew up. I don't have a personality anything like his but I do respect his passion and stoke. I have a hard time believing any of that is fake or trying to prove something. He's not arrogant - he has humility - you just need to be able to read it. I like and gravitate towards people that are real and true to themselves. It's when we start modeling our actions and behaviors to fit the "norms" of others that we are lost. So in the end people like you are just a "conformist normie" (who uses things like view counts to qualify a person) and he's an "original". I opt for the latter.

betsie (Apr 6, 2022 at 4:04)

@swellhunter: ^^^ well said ^^^

Just because he does not fit the "norm" does not mean he is nervous.
Maybe he is also not speaking his primary language.

The best thing about modern society is that the majority of people accept that we are not all the same, they dont want people to fit a set of criteria.
What makes this group of 3 really interesting is that they are all different and have their unique personalities. Makes their videos pretty special.... to me anyway.

Keep up the amazing work guys, some of us love it.

IntoTheEverflow (Apr 6, 2022 at 5:19)

Thanks Sack-zement for your vulnerability here. It was nice for me to see that there are more people out there, who feel like I do about Yoann's edits.

jaceg FL (Apr 6, 2022 at 5:59)

@IntoTheEverflow: you guys are just adulting too soon :d

2wheelzgood (Apr 6, 2022 at 6:56)

@sack-zement: i wish i was as nervous as Yoann

sack-zement (Apr 6, 2022 at 9:34)

@swellhunter: well said. to be fair i can absolutely live with conformist normie, even find pleasure being so

generaly said i don't like loud/noisy people anyway. spent to much time in the punk scene i guess haha.

likeittacky (Apr 8, 2022 at 18:51)

confused?
