RIDING THE INSANE NEW JUMPS ON THE RED BULL HARDLINE COURSE!!

If you watched the track walk video, you'll have seen that the 2021 Red Bull Hardline track is the most insane, biggest and most dangerous that its ever been! There are new jumps, step downs berms and a road gap which has been made bigger than ever before. So the world's best pro downhill mtb riders are super nervous but excited to be riding this downhill race track. Due to my recent concussion and my enduro bike not being burly enough for this course, i won't be test riding any of the huge jumps. But I've teamed up with my twin brother Jono, and world cup racers Bernard Kerr and Brendan Fairclough to get some insane POV footage of the brand new Hardline course before race day and timed runs on Sunday to see who has the winning run. Enjoy!

I love the Jones bros combo. I really hope they don't split up into separate channels.

Dunno about fearless, but definitely brave enough!

[@MagpieManny]

Watching Bernard Kerr's stuff. Jonno is definitely not fearless. But brave he is!

[@ShadowTrace_1]

He sure makes me nervous lol

[@ste.palmer85]

Gee Atherton's comment on Jono's Insta sums the case up perfectly.

[@drbigmix7752]

He’s fearing those jumps let me tell you! The man has balls of solid titanium though!

[@Dash41198]

Jono's landing would look great in the intro. Man came back at it like a boss!

[@Benny-fr9fp]

Mad respect Jono!! Having an office job and doing this kind of stuff right along side guys that this is all they do. Way to be man!!

[@wilsarno]

Hats off to Jono, riding the fear/adrenaline wave like a pro!

[@austinmendonza667]

Mountain bike gang forever....i love that even with the fiercest competition possible every single one of these dudes wants nothing but seeing improvement and clean runs from each other.. that hype for someone who your about to have to race against is unseen in so many sports...if u didnt know they where all racers you would think its a bunch of friends just shredding shit together!!! Love it!!!

[@xuananator]

I don’t think there’s a lawyer for that one…. Fair play to not dying Jono.

[@MrOrangecows]

When Jono went over the road gap in first person that felt like forever! Gotta be a crazy feeling

[@Thelightingaddict]

Every year this stuff gets crazier and crazier. When is enough. When someone dies. I use to ride insane downhill courses here in Canada until I hit a 30ft drop both my brand new wheels collapsed on landing my bike bucked me off and ended up doing a front flip and my back smashed a huge Boulder that was off to the right of the trail and I broke both my shoulders. Was in an upper body cast for 4 months. I went back to riding after 2 years and now keep it on the down low. Because I have a new lease on life. Even still to this day I have flashbacks. After 14 years.

[@evanjones6091]

I gotta agree to some extent. It seems like the course this year is pushing the limits. Sorry to hear about your accident. Trauma is a bitch so I'm glad to hear you are back on two wheels. That said. Humans like to progress in every sport just to see what is possible. So long as there is no pressure for these guys to compete if they don't want to then I'm ok with them riding off a cliff.

[@Thelightingaddict]

@@evanjones6091 thanks. I agree there is some guys with no limits. I have a friend that just completed an 85ft drop in montreal Quebec he stuck the landing and I couldn’t believe it. Even some of these pros like max frederickson he’s insane. Even hitting a 70ft gap over a clif at red bull rampage . That’s a little to crazy

[@GeddyRC]

Yeah man I agree with this top comment. These guys basically have to do whatever crazy shit they put together if they want to keep their sponsorship(s) and get paid. When you do everything right but still the BIKE has to be in peak physical condition or you'll die, things are a getting a little stupid.

[@Thelightingaddict]

@@GeddyRC even watching rampage them 70ft gaps over a 100+foot death drop it’s a little much

[@jnetwork7159]

We used to ride hardtails on the original trails in Golden maybe 15 years ago now. In hindsight, can't believe we are all still alive. The trail to beaverhead summit has some of the steepest downs I've found anywhere, ever. I'm like you now man. Bad crash a few years ago. I dialed it way back. Sold my dh and picked up first an xc and now a mild Enduro. We ain't getting any younger

[@cyclonasaurusrex1525]

The footage is amazing, but the brotherly love is even better. Love these videos.

[@rick4677]

it put a smile on my face to see jono survive the cannon and the step up

[@n.s.3410]

Imagine sending this exact jump line in 1985. Mtb tech and skill has seriously skyrocketed in the last 30 plus years.

[@chrisgarland9381]

Those jumps are huge well done Jono!

[@tortillasarenotbiceps7622]

Conclusion: Prerequisite to be a mountain biker = Insane. This was absolutely amazing to watch. Thank you, men.

[@Dangler-ve1hb]

I literally feel sick watching this, Jono is an absolute mad man! What a legend.

[@83N02]

Oh I'm so glad Jono came back from that nasty landing, I was really happy to hear him having fun again after that shot to his morale, I know this must mean a lot to him

[@DarkKnight0183]

Amazing video, can't wait to see what Jono, Bernard and Brendan will do on these year Red Bull Hardline. It looks really really sick.

[@leonardhaworth5632]

Yeah I've got to say I fancy Bernards chances this year

[@lepigpen]

Love that when push comes to shove and tracks are built like this, Bernard truly shines above the rest. You've got World Cup races, you've got Loose Fest jumps... But once you put them together the top in both those categories fade away and Bernard is left standing as one of the most well rounded riders in the world.

[@olrenison]

Jono. What an absolute legend. So stoked to see him make it good 😊👌

[@kieranlees4499]

Awesome video! Jono has balls of steel quite literally, I thought he blew his nuts on that crash and sending those jumps is insane!!

[@bentbird]

Not taking away from Matt skills at all but Jono is a beast for running this course. Can't wait to watch full runs.

[@marcsee4072]

Matt is utuber and Jono rides

[@prodew89]

Anyone that throws themselves down that deserves a nod. It’s mental

[@blakemcduffy5599]

They're both respected athletes in their fields,, Jono is a racer, matt's in freestyle, but yeah you're right this race is mental 🤘🤘🤘

[@marcsee4072]

I was joking- id be s…ing my pants just walking this course.

[@bradenselkirk4930]

It’s so good to see jono come back and complete the features . I don’t think I’d be able to after a scare like that

[@NorthwestCatch]

This is so awesome. Thanks Matt for the inside view. Never forget Redbull is lucky to have you Guys and Gals.

These dudes are like Isle of Man road racers... They're another breed of riders and I respect everything about them! Gnarly stuff! Glad everyone got away with their incidents relatively speaking!

Probably one of the first times I've watched a video without thinking "I could do that". Hardline is stupid mad and I love it : D

This is the first time I’ve had full-on adrenaline just WATCHING Hardline bc of the candid & honest clips showing how sketched they do get. The highlights reels never catch that side of it & make it look far less daunting than it is.

[@shaunmilor]

I love big jumps ,I have a downhill bmx track at my house I built after the x games in 2001. It has some 30-40 ft doubles and stepdowns. Its grassed over now and the jump size blows my 36 year old mind that I was on that level... That being said, I'm scared for the riders at this comp with the big jumps with no margin for error near trees or cliffs. like the roadgap and flying off of that berm. wish redbull would put up a few catch fences. just by those big hits. Love watching you guys go big and don't want anyone paralyzed.. weve lost so many guys to stupid accidents...man I miss getting air

[@shaunmilor]

Damn... those dirt doubles are rad! Man the stepdown around 12:50 Jono hit landing blind in the dust was crazy...Pretty rad
