THIS IS WHY HE WON RED BULL HARDLINE!! NEW ZEALAND DOWNHILL

New Zealand has some of the best mountain bike trails on Earth, and Cardrona Bike Park is an insane downhill MTB destination with perfect jump trails, freeride features and epic dirt go karts to race. I rode with the Red Bull Hardline winner Ronan Dunne and got some awesome POV riding shots chasing him down the mountain and training my downhill riding for the next big event! Shout out to Rod for his hospitality in Queenstown! Enjoy, Legends

[@RossBobby]

How stoked was that guy in the Helfare shirt who randomly bumped into Matt in NZ and got a photo, biggest smile - awesome.

[@MasonGunnis-wq7vf]

That’s my mates dad lmao

[@guymtbski]

I had no idea New Zealand had such a good bike park - awesome for the winter season. Thanks for sharing

[@ShadowScript]

Yup cardrona is a awesome bike bark in the summer and a awesome skiing mountain in the winter. Along with all the other bike parks around wanaka.

[@zinzander2978]

There are quite a few great bike parks in nz

[@topspot4834]

NZ is like MTB mecca, the entire country is littered with world-class riding ... If you ever go try and be flexible. The locals know the best riding spots, and they're mostly different than any list you'll see online.

[@davefellows]

Queenstown has Cardrona, Coronet Peak and the Queenstown Gondola bike parks. All three are epic! Rotorua in the north island is also incredible.

[@AriMOULD]

yeah its awsoms in new zealand im from there@@ShadowScript

[@jtkyber]

Dude this is probably my favorite video of yours in a long time. Didn't want it to end haha

[@trillbill9378]

I could not agree more. Literally an infectious level of hype and homie vibes 👏❤

[@stirfrybry1]

Theo has the most infectiously happy demeanor. Any time spent with that guy is gonna be fun.

[@BlueKnows]

The dh boys are just class. Always smiling and high on life, it's so infectious

[@robvanduren761]

Yes these guys/Jenna are so under estimated by general riders. The fitness and skill plus full commitment make them my heroes. Makes me feel I've got trainer wheels on lol 😁

[@robvanduren761]

Dont forget to watch Darkfest 20 times to get a feel of WTF

[@topspot4834]

@@robvanduren761lotta people don't realize how tough it is... That Hardline track at Maydena was almost 4 minutes, gotta be in really good shape.

[@Dexter.Pearson]

That Porsche is sick 🔥🤘

[@iainramsay1537]

The subtitles! 🤣 As a Glaswegian, I almost feel attacked. Solidarity with my strongly accented Celtic brother! Great vid🤟

[@joshd2925]

Lmaoo

[@gavinburke3473]

Get ronan a redbull helmet 🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@ep5796]

Hey Matt I wanted to thank you for putting out a lot of videos and excellent content. I really appreciate your efforts and all the different places that you go. You're a great dude I like watching you ride and have fun with your friends. I first saw you in slopestyle way back in the day and I appreciate the fact that you're doing things on your own now. Great videos great friends thanks a lot keep it up😊

[@msdprojekt]

Love the subtitles 🤣👌🏻

[@bullit4x]

So amazing. That Porsche is my dream. Riding is sick as usual. Makes me realize just how bad I $uck. So possibly some DH racing in your future?You’ve got access to coaching from some of the best racers in the world. Wish I had access to peeps like that.

[@senditmtb88]

MATT YOU HAVE TO COME TO ROTORUA!!!!!! :)

[@locklinbabidge2958]

Hey mate are you Australia because your a great KZbinr and if not Australia your still amazing ❤❤

[@AC-9883]

Completes Hardline. Dies in a buggy

[@joonesyy8]

Theo’s laugh never gets old bro 😂

[@JMH33SD]

Take all the lines, jumps, and features from this mountain and incorporate them into your Wales track. And then add those tricycles... those things look so fun! Would love to see Ben and Jamie on those...

[@bigbird2451]

Yo Matt. You really should see a suspension tuner and know your settings for both free ride and proper DH. You've got such great suspension, it's a shame that you ride stuck in free ride mode instead of plush goodness. There's a place in your neighborhood I believe called Brink. Perhaps they can help you out. Or just go straight to Ohlinns.

[@benbaldwin3352]

Also, no 🐍🐍 in New Zealand🏅🏅

[@SINSINband]

Nz has the best mob tracks ngl

[@somedude5353]

Ah cool, was skiing there back in August - didn’t realise they had MTB trails in summer
