MY HONEST OPINION OF RED BULL HARDLINE TASMANIA

Рет қаралды 565,410

2 ай бұрын

Red Bull Hardline Tasmania is insane. I don't race downhill, this isn't my MTB discipline, I'm a fish out of water and this course is the hardest thing I've ever ridden! Watch me hit the jumps and features for the first time, with raw POV shots and a review of the track as a whole from a Slopestyle rider hitting the full race for the first time!! Scary

Seeing a pro rider losing a pro downhill rider after a few turns shows you how good those guys really are. It's insane to see them riding in real life

The fact that Matt hit the drop at 13:13 with no track walk really does show how skilled he is as a rider, on Bernards video the boys were building up the courage and trying to work out the right speed for a while on that feature before sending it.

Watch Bernard Kerr. He walks the course and rides it in stages. Makes mental notes of all the features and records on go pro too. Then watches it back. Not any amazing talent for memory. He does this at most of his dh races. Matt had a big disadvantage not walking the course the day before with all the other riders.

Matt, I want to let you know I feel how you were feeling trying to get a feel for the trail. I am not a pro rider by any means, and I have felt that same feeling following my friends down gnarly tracks. I have done some bigish jumps (my biggest was probably 35-40 feet), so I know I can do stuff like that. But when I try to follow a friend down new trails, I end up getting so frustrated that I have no problem hitting big jumps, but when trying to hit small drops or blind features, I trip myself up every time. It's something I need to work on a lot, and I could tell you felt similar trying to send it on Hardline. You are an insane rider Matt, and I love all of your videos. It seems all mountain bikers have moments like this no matter the skill level, so you're doing absolutely insane. Keep sending it!
