Back to the roost! My roots in mountain biking go way back to downhill racing. That evolved into freeracing, and eventually turned into pure party laps.
Direction changes were always at the center of it all, because for me they represent the most technical aspect of riding. In the beginning, the focus was on getting through corners as smoothly and fast as possible. Inspired by powder snowboarding and surfing, the thrill later shifted toward throwing up as much dust as possible, pushing the tires to their limits, and staying in constant flow. In this video, we captured only the pure essence of our favorite direction changes.
