That advice works on my XC loop as well. I call it riding efficiently.
-
What a nice bloke Loris .All the best for next season .
-
Good job interviewer...a pro downhill biker isn't very good at communicating the basics (the purpose of this post) you did a great job of translating a tough interviewee into useful points
-
Helmet and gloves are the non-negotiables. A shredded hand can happen on minor enough spills and is so prohibitive in getting on with life.
-
Personally, in order for me to be most comfortable and ride my hardest I need my full face, gloves, and knee pads.
-
great video 😃😃 And I always have a lot of fun when I go down the mountain 😃❤
-
Great advice
-
For line comparisons you need the ghost cam like PB. Gives much better visuals.
-
The top i got from EMBN shop saved my skin a few times good quality merch 😃
-
Grande Loris!!!!!
-
It still happens so quick even in slow motion. I had to rewind a few times. Could you do the same with a XC pro on a short travel bike to see how it compares in terms of line choice for example.
-
Guys at GMBN. I know it's a pain in the ass to make videos with athletes. I'm guessing the guy eho edited it has way more gray hair than he used to. But please continue making this kind of videos. Because a competitive athlete can give great insights to the topic
-
Def must have
-
Good skills, I want to learn too
-
2:26 What is that protection under the sock?
-
Sick 🔥🔥
-
do a comparison of enduro bikes more than 180mm of travel like nukeproof giga, norco shore and the propain spindrift and see which one is the best.
-
which trail in finale was that?🤔
-
So whats the chances canyon pirelli took on loris revelli to keep the rhyming scheme .
-
Thank you Jensen Button!
