That was crazy long and no brakes either! I've done maybe one of those blocks and I start seeing sideways I can't imagine the concentration it takes to go that long!
Agree that fakie manual was impressive as well!

Raw Video: Remy Metailler Sends Big Gaps in Squamish - Pinkbike
Remy Metailler releases a raw version of his wild Squamish edit.
This is one of those vids you need to watch a couple of times and I think the producers could do an extended edit with him sizing up/planing each piece.
Lots of thread the needle stuff which reminds me of a some big mountain snowboarding/skiing but Remy is riding roots, rock and loam not powder!

Comments on PB say he rides an open face lid so he has better visibility. I'd be padded up like a hockey player!

Whoa whoa whoa.... I created a new thread because of this video. Don’t steal my glory! There are zero berms or flow in the gnar!
you are missing that IS flow

My apologies!
I came into this thread from a link on my notifications and didn't see your thread until just now.
But like stb222 said it is FLOW and it is so good I think 2 spots for it are justified
BTW - I like the new free-ride thread

Is that all in one spot? Looks like such a fun zone. Those transfers at the end were pretty meaty!
So good.
I am trying to find the video part where Taj break's his chain and then does a chainless run through Section 8 (maybe section 8). Nate Williams also does a chainless manual on a huge rail in one of his street parts this year.
Anyways, all these things are super impressive, most people don't realize how strange a bike feels without a chain, let alone doing stuff like this on them.

I’ve ripped at Creek more than once with no chain. It’s awesome. The bike is silent and suspension works so much better. Having no resistance in the pedals feels super odd tho...

I've never ridden without a chain but can imagine it feels strange. Even hitting DJ's where you can just roll in on - I do a little ratchet crank every now and then and not having that would throw me off.
That chainless kiwi vid was sick but i stumbled upon this vid and these may be the best trails i've ever seen (and i've been to Posh and Catty). Everyone riding in the vid were on mtbs, but he wasn't specific about the main builder guy and if he was mtb or bmx. If these are strictly mtb trails i'd be surprised. It's a little long on the talking but walking through the trails really shows how ridiculous they are. Work of art.

Those Leatherhead trails look amazing. It's Jimmy Pratt's (who has been on DMR for a long time) spot.
I like how they have a lot of green/plant life in them. A lot of trails will just open things up and it's just a wall of dirt with the big trees here and there. I also like how Leatherhead has that home made wooden fence and frames out the walk up. Catty is like a free for all getting back to the start. Catty is amazing in it's own right but I love when places have that little extra bit with a nice walk back and greenery added.
Another vid of Leatherhead:
