halfpipe with a dirtbike... just one of these things you would imagine in your head as a kid but never thought it would be real someday

[@rk7mx609]

This is one of the most amazing videos I’ve ever seen in my life. This video truly makes me happy to show that anything is possible to do. Your one of the best motorbike riders I’ve ever seen in my life. Keep up the riding and go big everyday Axell

Realize at the moment this was made...nothing had ever risen to this level...production...track builders, soundtrack...and shall we say talent...Axel...this is what life is about...pushing the limits gracefully...no stuntmen...nothing fake...no Hollywood...real life to the highest level...until the next video...God Bless

[@Jesus_Saves888]

The editing, cinematography and Audio for this video are all top notch. The footage tops them all however. MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE

Holy shit that was rad

Why would someone thumbs down something like this why I'll never know why.

[@Mxrider92i]

I love how Axell brough the whole skate/snowboard lifestyle to motocross. It's not all about lap times or triple backflips, and he's showing it :)

[@Brighton_Lal]

Mxrider92 I dont think he was the one to do it pal. @twitchthis1

[@Brighton_Lal]

Teddy F How am I retarded? I’m simply implying that Axell isn’t the guy bringing it to life, not saying he isnt doing well, just saying its nothing new.

[@teddyf9438]

because you said twitch is...

[@bruin4937]

Man, Hodges makes those jumps look so artful. Beautiful motion when up in the air ... looks kind of like Olympic diving with the twists and turns. Awesome.

[@PPGarm3]

I just can't believe how fluidly he takes on big air and executes with grace.. hats off axxel

[@bigpicture8833]

I love the helmet drop at the beginning. I've always done that! True moto style!!

[@jaysmith7137]

Big Picture the other weekend my boys looked at me like I was crazy dropping my brand new aria helmet haha

[@cityofplant]

Can I ask for what?

[@jaysmith7137]

Jimbo it's a old superstion thing give you helmet a scratch without your head in it before you take a header wearing it.

[@bigpicture8833]

When you get a new helmet. Typically you want to baby it because you spent a good bit of money on it and it looks so good. So instead of worrying about scratches you scratch it and get it over with. That's why my friends and I do it at least.

[@spiddyman0079]

Big Picture that’s weird

[@rickrossi4468]

Best free ride video ever! Can't wait for SLAYER 4. Don't know how you can top can this. Thumbs up to Monster and Axell Hodges

[@mikefrench316]

Dang that 4th gear jump in the middle is freaking huge 😳 So steezy off of that thing 🤘🔥🚀

Steezy? Lol I like that. I’m going to use that word haha

I liked the ending of the first edition better! The bike landing perfectly and gently landing where it did was a perfect way to end it.

Only way that brilliant audio blend could be improved is with a two stroke, but great to watch, great dirt!

So tired of seeing butt hurt keyboard warriors talk shit on this kid saying he’s rich washed up or whatever else. Dude has unreal talent and control on the bike and is doing shit his own way just because he didn’t wanna train everyday and be a Dungey robot isn’t a bad thing. Gotta have respect for both sides of the coin not everyone is a racer and what axell is doing right now for the sport is fun to watch and entertaining get over yourselves

[@DudeGoRideYourBike]

Dude has mad bike/riding skills for sure, not trying to discredit that at all but am I’m the only one who thinks all of Monsters stuff is over hyped? I mean the fact that this 6 min video has commercials for it during supercross....there are better edits that probable cost a tenth of what this did to produce. Not a fan of the super chopped together videos, way more impressive when/if it had more of a one line and one take kind of flow

[@caedenstephenson4174]

Considering the fact his brother is the videographer I don't think it costs that much.

[@choppywheelin]

Caeden Stephenson that explains why it's shitty editing

Jose Verduzco i feel like they balanced the song and the bike pretty well!

[@verduzco181]

Don’t get me wrong music was nice, but for my own personal opinion would have liked to hear the bike a bit more

[@ItsLost]

I don't think you realize how hard it is for them to use bike sounds they have to use Foley (recorded somewhere else and is made there like in a both so no other sounds can be heard) considering they used helicopters that are loud and also being a plan field the wind would be making all the mics get distorted by wind making the helicopters shots and ground shots audio useless. with mixing it with music, This way the shot less sound with a foley artist but use the same sound clip multiple times eg the rev limiter in the whips bit, nearly every big picture or big company videos are not the actual raw sound eg redbulls mountain biking raw videos are not the raw sound a foley makes all the sound and they released the video of them making the sounds its funny too watch it too kzbin.info/www/bejne/boG5gIqepZh-r8k. That why in movies some time its a four stroke sound instead of a 2T sound it harder for them and is more expensive, Raw video a lot of times isn't the real Raw sound
