Attempting the Toughest Race in Mountain Biking | Red Bull Hardline

[@Bike-and-Ride]

Simply the best downhill race location i've ever seen. The riders make it loot way too easy. Stoked

[@cheesepizza87]

Did you watch Jackson do the full run ? Wow it has a lil everything

[@Bike-and-Ride]

@@cheesepizza87 Yeah it was like a podcast. He was so chill commentating while flying down hahaha

[@janlentfer3275]

is this still Downhill, though? From the video it seems like mostly artificial, man-made jumps (huge, though, I admit). Very little "natural", technical stuff like rock and root gardens or narrow single track kind of stuff. What's the difference to Darkfest?

[@janlentfer3275]

ok, just watched the Goldstone track preview. The upper part definitely is more "traditional", that section was mostly missing from this video. Looking forward to the race.

[@haydenbristow91]

​@janlentfer3275 all the middle turns and natural sections have completely blown out meaning the fast lines will now be inside of the turns and holes. Will be very hard to hit those at full race pace.

[@danraha]

Saying that RedBull is a big part of mountain biking is an understatement. These guys did more than we can imagine

[@felixfam0481]

Amen to that sir

[@l.k.1011]

Def. way way more than the UCI.

[@MTB_Spirit]

we all see what the UCI DH WC is without the redbull broadcasting these days

[@dfiler2]

It's amazing how they always manage to foster the right vibe. They find the right people and turn them loose. The UCI would never have allowed this course or even the KZbinr coverage. But red bull did. The course is rad, riders are stoked, and normal riders like us are loving the coverage from our usual channels. It's a win for everyone involved... If only the UCI was pursuing the same formula.

[@adampalmer6491]

It’s been interesting to see Matt’s transition into different styles of riding, from freestyle into bigger, gnarlier downhill stuff like hardline

[@RedBullBike]

Life is too short to stick to only one style of riding!

[@adampalmer6491]

@@RedBullBike absolutely, why send it one way when you can send a hundred different ones, variety is the spice of life after all 🤙🏼

[@Petermcpete]

Yeah Tahnee, you are all 100% gnarly,... and then some!!! Incredible event, great vibe and There's some brilliant backstage content coming out. Keep it coming

[@DeluxPlays_]

SO PUMPED FOR THIS YEAR! Been to the last 2 hardlines and they are insane, sadly couldnt make it to tasmania but the event looks out of this world! stoked for all you guys

[@yeetmaster07]

Red bull does not give you wings. I drank 5 cans and jumped off my roof hoping to fly or at least glide and only ended up eating dirt. (This is meant to be comical and is fake. I thought it was funny)

[@savageferria505]

One of the best things to happen to mountain biking.

[@J_Lo_fro]

5:20 You guys AND gals are SUPER gnarly... I'm sitting on my arm chair at home in disbelief at how mental this course is. Huge respect for all ya's 👏👏💯 Awesome to watch, and epic to see Hardline at home 🔥🇦🇺

[@justinmadair]

At first I thought I was on Matt's channel. Bout 4 minutes in, I was like- Sick edit! And then I saw it was Red Bull Bike. Nothing against Matt's editing- love that channel- just wasn't expecting that visual/ sound blast that ramps the viewer up to epic proportions. Awesome job all around.

[@dfiler2]

This event has one of the best vibes ever! Everyone is stoked to ride this course and the rider culture is entirely positive. I love seeing racers cheering on their competitors and helping each other with genuine friendship. This is a special era we're living through. It's rare for sports and racing culture to be like this. My thanks to everyone involved with making this a great event for participants and for us watching from home.

[@Mr.SlipperyGaming]

Love seeing Matt push himself and just the love for the sport. From darkfest to hardline is crazy.

[@stevem.5177]

Matt, it’s the best video I’ve ever seen you make and that’s saying a lot because you’ve had a lot of awesome videos. I think what really comes out at you is the speed how fast and then there’s the airborne time. Video shots, Matt were simply brilliant I had to watch it over again and again

[@shiftyIIama]

Imagine a world without drones. The follow shots are so good!

[@TheCraigy83]

Weve had cameras on rc planes + choppers for about 40yrs matey , media didnt push them much , so drones seem high tech & new when its old a55 tech in reality .

[@BolivGaming]

⁠​⁠@@TheCraigy83neither of those come close to what an fpv drone can do… simple as. Rc helicopters aren’t as easy to control, nor as nimble as a quad drone, so not suitable for tight environments such as this and thats before you get onto the camera tech of the day, which certainly isn’t recording super smooth footage at 4K 60fps, never mind being compact enough to slap on a tiny quad that can fly through the trees with precision…

[@TheCraigy83]

@@BolivGaming Go search up stunt choppers they smoke any drone . rc choppers just need a really smart pilot /pro gamer reaction times You are right drones are definitely more user friendly then a rc chopper .

[@alexcolon4052]

Matt DONT BE FRUSTRATED.. U ARE NOT A DOWNHILL RACER.. YET U ARE GRINDING THEOUGH ONE OF THE HARDEST DOWNHILL COURSES IN THE WORLD WITH THE BEST RIDERS IN THE WORLD.. BE PROUD!!

[@OrthodoxRainbow]

Thanks Redbull and all the riders! You bunch of mad lads and ladies.

[@stujm8376]

The most beautiful trail I’ve ver seen, and Tawny Seagrave saying she hopes people think they’re gnarly… I have so much respect for these riders and really love watching them ride. I wish I had a tenth of their skill.

[@philipstevens730]

Skill level 1000 to be cracking that course. Looks absolutely insane!!

[@brandihodges9548]

Been watching everyone's KZbin practice days and it's insane!!!

[@davefellows]

Yeah man, been thoroughly enjoying BK's vids. Epic looking trail.

[@Bryanswanson82]

Amazing!! Cannot wait for Saturday! Thanks for sharing this with the world! And I can def see its gnarly as all hell!! Good Luck to all the riders!

[@BOOSTEDDUDE]

Can't wait for the stream! Props to the ladies hitting this!

[@energyfordays]

As an FPV drone flier myself, I'm just as impressed by the FPV Drone follow cam as I am with the actual riding!

[@luffyluck]

They have a video somewhere where a drone operator followed a rider for the entire length of the hardline track in Wales. It was a whole project to relay the signal and pilot through some tight forest. You should have a look if you haven't yet!

[@energyfordays]

For sure!! The rigs they build for these events are mental 😮

[@XLR22]

as someone from Tasmania this cool to see big events like this also been here and some of the trails were mad

[@Christmylife78]

Shred the gnar ladies! 🤙🤙Congrats to all who survived! 😂 Sick race! 🙌

[@michaelhex]

Great vid Matt, drone shots are unreal. Would be nice to do a few mins with a drone pilot explaining what they use, how they practice etc.

[@RedBullBike]

Noted for next time ✏

[@Drebikes]

Serious piloting skills!

[@christopherfilipiak]

LOL... You all are plenty Gnarly! Sweet overview and edit. 🙌

[@TheS4jordan]

Awesome video and insight and hats off to Matt for taking this on

[@TommyHuynh]

This track is insane! Just when you think a trail can't get anymore gnarly they make it gnarlier every year! Huge props to all the riders who have the balls to ride this track 💪💪💪

[@johndarcey]

That was such a great video. You did a brilliant job of showcasing the location, track, and community of hardline cyclists. Best of luck for the weekend.

[@roguesender]

Sendy's up mah spine! RB keeps raising the bar. This year's race is going to be insane!

[@mranderson3927]

Great to see the gals sending the big stuff, proper progression

[@brucemacdonald5532]

Haven’t looked forward to a race this much in a long time! 🔥

[@divisibull6348]

@5:17 You are truly gnarly! The course looks insane

[@stephankoehler800]

Yes Tahnee. It looks super gnarly!! Even on gopro.

[@mead813]

4:59 No way, that girl's crazy! This is some of the most knarly stuff ever riden!

[@Pete_simons]

People, camerawork and edit is outstanding; nice one to the videogs and post team!

[@martin-i2p5e]

Am loving this . Absolutely incredible skills 👊

[@FireLysm]

THIS is what MTB is about. Connecting racers, they are PEOPLE, and I love to see them cooperate. We forget this day to day ~ Thank you @RedBullBike for being true and passionate to the sport 🙌 Something UCI will never.

[@MudmanDH]

Big balls! Nice training. Epic event

[@harveycasey1900]

This is gonna be awesome to watch. I guess I better download the Red Bull app again.

[@antone9751]

This was an amazing event!

[@gladdenhandymanllc962]

Matt is the best possible personality for Redbull MTB

[@noodz2777]

That drone footage in unreal!!!

[@trailcheff]

Darkfest looks huge, but damn this years Hardline looks like an insanely techniqual trail. Ride safe and keep those tires down

[@thomasdyson8329]

So stoked to see the women in the mix! And yes definitely gnarly as!

[@karlheidbreder2857]

can't wait to watch the live!!! 😎🤘🤘

Epic 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@roymurray8782]

Great Vid love the woods section edit with the different riders. I’ll work up to a 6 foot gap lol.

[@jaxxtenmarkko8489]

Can’t believe she said I hope they think we’re gnarly TRUST ME WE DO u guys n gals are absolutely mental love it watch it KEEP SHREDDINGGG YEWWWWW

[@Bloktarino]

Glad Jamie let Matt travel to Australia for this!

[@DevonDaggers]

So good to see the women riding this course and going huge too. Great to inspire my daughter that MTB is not just for the boys!

[@JustJake77]

Hardline is the pinnacle of freeracing!!! This is what MTB is all about!

[@Brummieinthesun]

That was a great edit. 👊🏻👌🏻

Well this was some high quality content!!

[@Specialized-Demo_Rider]

SO happy i was able to be there

[@lastboyscoutNZ]

Great Job Matt!

[@downhill64]

No one at home looks at this and thinks this is easy, I'm sitting down on my seat at home crapping my self just watching

[@TheBClark88]

Gracey's slam is gnarly as hell, props for walking away from that!

[@keirenferguson6486]

Super vid lads 💥

[@towelie]

What a track!

[@ianfleischhacker6154]

No, us people sitting at home don't think it looks easy in any way. And yes, we think you're gnarly. Video is total quality.

[@austingeorge6659]

Redbull keeps pushing the boundaries, but I don't know if it was the ham I had, this run is making me feel sick 🤙

[@17gt350]

Not one of us is at home thinking that’s easy. It’s insane I love it.

[@andreas_brunello]

sooo sick!! hyped👀

[@angussansom1570]

can i just say the person controling the drone is absolutely killing

[@noobfives]

red bull should make a second ''the best mtb drone pov'' for the second hardline

[@bakerdeathwish88]

Smoooth job on the last Jump

[@szymonj5657]

Damn, this is awesome!

[@caosmartialis]

Horns up for the drone pilots too 🎉

[@chrisscott1193]

These girls and guys are insane 😮

[@Nukeemall]

drone pilot galore, so cool

[@alechubbard2134]

Whoever this drone pilot is, holy mother of god that is some skill. Those follow shots are insane!!!

[@RedBullBike]

Check @profly_cinema on Instagram 😎

[@Phonophobia]

that frontal and fly-by shot of grandad are just mint 🤌

[@CandSEvo7]

Nice video, just shows these are normal people scared at the features . looking forward to the race

[@cathseeds5063]

I love Matt as a rider and his commentary for sure, but Bernard Kerr is Mr Hardline and should have been presenting this! When is he going to get the recognition he deserves!

[@mateosevillabaeza8039]

Remy on that old school kit goes hard

[@thatguy2201]

Not just the kit, chainless too.

[@JohnAlienSmith]

Epic 🙌

[@moonhowheels]

멋지고 자유로워 보여요 ❤

[@DingbatToast]

That drone pilot should get a podium 🏆

[@serjturischev9557]

new marin prototype looks sick

[@Blesur]

Hyped!

[@SparkBerry]

The ladies now hitting gaps that 99% of us guys wouldn't even attempt, is exactly the kind of progression this sport needs.

[@micahrushin]

Especially now that Warner has the UCI, this is the future of DH. So sick to see freeride and dh athletes together, really gives good appreciation for both disciplines and gets ride of the racer vs freerider mentality

[@derekbaker8791]

Some one tell Tahnee we think they're all gnarly and rad AF!

[@aaronmurphy2642]

Wicked video 👍👍👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻 what’s the music track at the end anyone??

[@Elias_MTB]

wow😮

[@mariovasquezhernandez1727]

The best DH riders or the world is amazing see them

[@K.V.P14]

Bernard is the man !!

[@druckerman247]

Oh man, it's the scale of the jumps. At the speeds they're going, they must cover some distance.

[@Lylisuvanto]

Who did Matts bike dirty in the thumbnail?? Great video though!

[@yetitoride3443]

That track looks like so much fun! But compared to the tech at wales, Tasmania looks like a cake walk

[@jokermtb]

Yeah Matt

[@lancejarman1]

UCI..... take note. This is what the fans want 🎉

[@dirtylaps]

3:25 segment 👌

[@claytonsmoothy314]

Thankyou whoever is responsible for this at redbull

[@RIDINDIRTYMA]

Credit the Athertons for inventing it. This track needs a little tech to make it equal to wales

[@mtbalpinecounty]

💪

[@connorjames698]

I think your gnarley lol

[@2_wheels_fun]

amazing

[@Brian2124]

"Looking from the outside in, people at home, say it looks easy." Who is possibly saying that? This is the gnarliest track on earth. The flat sections look hard.

[@wonderwatch2239]

How is Mat, going to endure 3-4 min of hardcore downhill🤯 He’s a slopestyle rider, with the fitness that comes with that👀

[@toria-j]

have you watched the video on his channel? if you haven't, you've gotta.
