Holy cow this became popular - This is the video that got me (a kid from Kansas) into mountain biking back in 2010 ish. Heck I don't even remember when

Considering the release date this video aged fantastically well, good work

i like all these videos with the little scenes of the guy pushing his bike and clicking his heels together or what not. It really says. " i'm not just an adrenaline junkie, I'm also a man."

Wow, that's an AMAZING FOREST!

Absolutely amazing.

Bike is life.

I watched this video when I was 15 :3 now I am 23 and it is still one of my favorities

Ah yes! Mountain biking the beautiful Pacific Northwest, it really does look like this! Awesome video!

I feel that this video should have lasted longer, it kind of stopped out of nowhere. But it was nice anyway, great woods.

me and my bike = freedom :)

The scenery of this film is amazing. something beautiful

That was difficult, the way that i found this downhill track and optimize this trail. Good job my team,that you create this video and cutting this szens that i take and filmed. #gopro

awsome Video and nice song

im a nigga but i like this video

This is true bliss in serinity, This man has found somethings that makes him happy and has taped this astonishing footage for us to ponder in it's vastness....Thank you

This is some amazing DOWNHILL riding. I agree with some of the other comments. The are no drops, big jumps, planks, or transitions. I have to give props to whoever filmed this because it because that is some great cinematography.

Looks like suicide forest in japan

Um, nice video, but irresponsible to promote riding on wet trails...

Watching this video takes me back.

I love my island! I am growing up on Vancouver Island and will stay here till I die. And will continue to bike in heaven.

Winter is right around the corner.. and with it? RAIN! YEEAAAAH! this video is my intro into this winter.

That forrest is just so epic looks like a fairytail :) great riding

watched this for a zillion times and still i think this is the best ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This quality is unbelievable.

The word seems perfect, to not be limited to a big park full of wooden platforms, berms and jumps and be free to ride where ever, how ever is true freeriding.

I wish i could have glasses that makes everything look like this. Awesome effects and Cinematic Shots

Just got back from a mad ride and found this after I sat down... Made me want to load the bikes back up and go again !!

BEAUTIFULL MUSIC AND VIDEO, HELLO FROM BOSNIA

Vancouver Island is a truly magical place. Do your best to get there you will not be disappointed.

You know what I just realized about youtube, no matter what type of video it is..no matter how good the video is.. theres always going to be a dislike bar an people hatin on it. Great vid!

This is what MTB:ing is about.. It's not about racing, never was. It's about enjoying the shit out of that ride in your own style.

I love to ride and this video is sick. The cinematography of it is beautiful and is all I love about riding in the PNW.

This is AMAZING cinematography!!!!! Perfect location, camera angles, time of day, and editing. One of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen on you tube!!

the entire video is artistic as fuck, the guy filming and editing this should get a reward of some kind

i just bought my legend off pinkbike im soooooo pumped to ride it this season!

this video was made by Aaron Larocque and the original name of the video is "Island Winter". Song: Neon Hitch ft. Liam Horne - Am I Dreaming (Easy Does It Remix)

i often come back to this video when i want a refresher on quality freeride :D

dude, that trail is too beautiful.

this is my favourite video on youtube

Now THIS is a bike video. Great Job! Reminds me of riding around Seattle.

Dang this video is still up. Rmemeber watching this daily in 2012

Actually, and i'm totally honest, this very video motivated me to get into mountain biking

This reminded me of the trails that I ride, just wish I had the same bike. Great video and love the scenery.

it is the best bike video of all that i have ever seen

the best way to look at this sport that i love " its like being on a rollercoaster except your in control of how fast you want to go and when to put the anchors on :-)

That place looks so fun. Very nicely shot video.

Downhill is a racing sport... Freeriding is riding just for fun, wherever you ride, without any measuring in style or speed, as you do in contest. what today is usually called freeride (smooth track, big jumps, or whatever) is just a small part of the real thing ;) sry for my bad english :)

I'm picking up my Giant tomorrow! Woohoo!

This video makes me sad yet also really stoked... Sad because I'm stuck in Florida with all it's amazing flatness...

I am truly inspired by the level of self control in your reply, considering what you responded to. I'm going to try that on my 3-year-old's tantrums :)

phenomenal filming and editing

Τέλειο δάσος... Which means "Perfect forest" in Greek. And, surely, great trail... Well done!

One of the BEST free ride video's I've seen, stellar track, totally epic!!

I remember when this came out. Dang time flys

Just to let everbody know this isn't the original, the original was filmed and edited by Aaron Laroque; who is very skilled. To find the original go search google videos and type in "island winter" it's the first result. Thumbs this up so people can see.

One word....: BEAUTIFUL

One of my favorite mtb vids.

Really striking video. It's got me psyched to jump on the bike again after being off for far too long!

The smell of damp earth, the adrenaline rushing through your veins, the cold wind hitting your face, see the sun pass across the mist. not think there's something better

imagine how many cameras they used to make this film! two thumbs up!

Great Video, riding on wet forest floor scares me, but its the best fun

some people live for the sheer adrenaline of rushing downhill. they love it soo much that the large uphills don't mean anything to them and the little bit of dh they actually get is worth it.

@isaacwilk; the ms for asking, greedier is the absence of definition of MTB, greedier basically means anything on a mountain bike that is not a race

Brilliantly shot.

Amazing camera work and scenery!

god that fog and woods were so cool great vid

I agree i love this video, i watch it everyday

Beautiful area to film a mtn bike video & really like the song too. I agree that its not really freeride but I would still love to go..... to any trail system in Canada actually.

That is the best video with bike on KZfaq! Това е най-доброто видео в KZfaq с колело!

14.000 likes and this Video is amazing

Amazing sceneries ! Wow, these are really beautiful.

1:54 prolly one of the best shots ive seen in my entire life...

Funk...pure...funk. Keep it up bro!

One of the first video i saw on youtube when i was a child

Stunning camera work bro, easily the best mtb segment I've seen on You, hands down.

the places people ride are incredible!

die stelle mit dem Bach ist wirklich cool. ( the part where is the Little river is really cool. ) :D

amazing...now the trails are calling for me and my bike...see you later :D...

Cool video, its what i feel when i ride.

wow, this is really well made

Awesome. It's time to start biking again. I've been so busy with higher sciences... it's been depressing, so I need a break till it's fun again.

I finally found it! I've been looking for this video for a while now

Almost perfect! Well done! I imagine the diffucuties shooting out there with the rain & moisture. (i would try a different soundtrack though)

This forest is so unreal!

A really gorgeous video but i couldn't help but think it needed more.. riding.

Best MTB video I've seen in a long time!

oldschool freeride was heavy metal and big drops, now its dubsteb and art riding :D

Produced Very Well

I don't even mountain bike and i love this!!!

amazing calm and scary forest!!! also bike tires must be very good to ride on that rought stuff :)

Smooth & skillful. Well done.

those woods look really dark and scary. Like someone is just waiting to rap you.

Also, thanks for putting it back up! I love this video and I was sad when it got taken away :(

The video was uploaded to pinkbike(dot)com and the last scene was taken as a pod (picture of the day) at the same site.. Nice riding dude! and Aaron Larocque videos just rock it!!

amazing photography too!

Thumbs up when you liked riding your bike on water when you were a kid and you still do.

Absolutely Stunning Scenery :o and sick biking

When i broke my spleen from mountain biking all i could think about was going back out there again. Worth every hardship!

Damn that´s one sick forest...

Here I am watching this video with a healing broken arm at work. I'd give everything to go out there and break it again.
