Not sure if this has already been posted but this vid is worth a watch. Reminds me of riding in Zermatt but some of these steeps are in another league…

Sweet

Very impressive, but massively tilted camera angle. Not saying I would even try any of that (I hate those steps with logs on each edge) but those pictures are about as straight as an MBR shot.

yeah thats the stuff right there,i wanna go!!!

i want some of those slow speed skills

Yeah I did think that but its still obviously bloody steep. Just watch the second vid if you want confirmation that they are completely nuts.

some hairy moments there!

Great vids, and some very good riding. However, is it just me or was there a lot of unnecessary rear wheel hopping? Don’t get me wrong: It’s a great skill, and very useful in places, but just wasn’t needed on many of those corners.

How do you do that thing, where you’re stationary and somehow elevate the back wheel, turn the frame around the fork and take off in the new direction. Without falling on your face!?

Good control of your front brake and shifting your weight around: Standard mtb skills 😉

Full sus and flats – pah!

Yup, that put me off- really nice riding and shooting but in almost every shot I found myself checking out the angle and figuring out how steep it really was. It’s not all tilted but an awful lot is. Some of it is still really damn steep but once you realise so much of it is, well, fake then it’s hard to take the rest at face value. Shame.

can you import mpora vids here? seems not or im doing it wrong.

Good skils on show here Dirt – Action Heroes Vid

I really enjoyed those videos. They were really well made and beautifully shot. I especially liked that I sat and watched two men going uphill and I wasn’t bored – quite the opposite, I was riveted!

To my mind, those are some of my favourite mtb videos I’ve ever seen, really inspiring.

Yeah but look at the size of their packs 😉

mmmmm Paulaner. Awesome videos, and absolutely mental riding.

Yeah great vids, a break from the normal stuff, very refreshing.

That’s for their parachutes.

don’t look right, don’t look right, don’t look right…. arghhh I looked right…

Fantastic videos.. what amazing skills and location.

That’s awesome stuff. Love the via-ferrata hike-a-bike. And in the first vid, the cheeky hairpin overtaking manoeuvre.
Very Euro, but who cares?

next year hopefully,hike a bike it is.

Mikey74 – I think you should post a video of yourself showing exactly how those corners should be ridden…

didn’t think so.

Some of those corners did not need you to hop the back wheel around to make. All I was saying was that their style was a bit overtly showy for my taste. Great skills though.

don’t agree… really don’t like the taste of Pualaner. Much prefer the likes of Erdinger, Schneiderweisse or Franziskaner.

saw these vids a while back. well put together.

the flicking the back wheel thing is useful when the trail is too steep to carry any speed into the corner and you’re moving slowly.

that’s the sort of riding i enjoy…. steep and techy.

I agree with mikey74, I thought they were using the rear wheel hop thing a bit too much.

and me, just been having this same argument with a mate. yes, in some cases on that vid they were needed, but not every damn corner. not knocking their riding either.

Alpin – Haha, well I wouldn’t turn a Paulaner down post ride, but yeah, I agree. Lot to be said for Edelweiss & Weihenstephaner aswell imho. I’m still waiting for a Fristo Getränkemärkt to open in the UK.

I miss the Alps.

Weihenstephaner … another good one…

They haz no barends?

I is confuzed?

I guess that’s why I’m a big Jessie. I was hugely impressed, but I didn’t like any of that. I need boggy marshland and soft grass around me to break all the falls. All that hoppety-hop business down the rocks would have me on intensive care, bandaged from head to foot and being fed through a straw, within the first 20 yards. Where do you start working up to that sort of thing?

I was getting vertigo just watching the second one – walking up on a snowy ledge carrying a bike in shoes that didn’t look like they had the grippiest (for snowy rock at least) sole. Ouch

Where do you start working up to that sort of thing?

in your garden, in the park… anywhere where you can ride your bike. best to pratice somewhere (safe-ish) first before riding those sort of trails.

there’s an Austrian “crew” that make similar vids. just been looking for them, but can’t remember the names of any.

one of the guys has a very creative riding style…. i’ll keep looking.

found them…

Austrians with insane riding skills you say?

Sorry but watching both vids i thought that they were ruining a good walk. And walking doesn’t normally beat riding but all that slow speed hoppity hop stuff – great skills for sure but thats not the essence of riding for me. Give me some fast flowiny singletrack please.
