Redbull gives you wings!

[@calypso2niner]

This track is wild, great opener to get the season going.

[@dillydean]

YAAAAASS downhill is back when we get raw videos 🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏✨✨

[@SupercarAlex150]

Those whistles are driving me crazy…great video regardless!

[@Vivendocadadia]

Great job Vital MTB, sick images, sick track.

[@MrYesNeinMaybe]

Welcome back Lourdes! It’s one of the best and amazing DH Courses!!! Glad it’s back!

[@palaotot6933]

Lourdes never fails to deliver great DH racing✊

[@rubenvor]

Awesome coverage! Thank you guys!

[@MrDennisbarrera]

Been missing these raws, great work!

[@OFCR1]

Interesting mullet set up 11:05

[@Igai99]

Best thing of your videos is really that it shows the whole track from top to bottom. And not only once or twice, you see different riders handle different parts of the track different . With that way, as a viewer, i can see the whole track with a lot of lines! cant get much more track info out of a RAW video :)

[@GoFastDontCrash]

So happy to see some UCI footage! Thanks! Excited for the season!

[@stradmanofficial]

The best! Feel almost guilty that I get to watch this for free.

[@rn0b]

yasss I missed this! thanks for existing

[@KennyRider24]

This is what we’ve all been waiting for!

[@th_js]

These are so awesome to watch with a cup of coffee 👌🏻

[@duncanh6045]

Sick edit !! Damn those crashes are brutal, scary stuff, but the rest of the it is awesome

[@Francoispeulon]

So cool 🤟🤟, thanks for your sharing !

[@yattaran1484]

Happy to watch so many fans beside of the course !.😄

[@alexisastrie]

oh baby I've been waiting for this one😍

[@stevemcdonald2648]

So hard to pick the riders when they change kit every season.

[@elijahforthewin]

I think Wyn Masters was the only rider i immediately recognized lol

[@FoilPowell]

Just a bunch of guys on bikes... Very few can recognize who they're looking at.

[@MacPNW]

I woke up sore this morning just by watching this.

[@jonathanangieri153]

FINN FOR THE WINN!! LETS GOO BAYYYBEEE

[@benguet]

Great video, fluid panning shots.

[@calinr1686]

Yes, you're back🤘🥳

[@gustavsutherland2000]

man the trek riders were pinned and so was brendan fairclough high pivots are noticeably faster through the whoops

[@ducky9603]

gnarly riding, fantastic camera work

[@mtbalpinecounty]

The Best corners footage is Great!

[@faew1ld]

Love all those Commencal Supremes!!! Beasty bikes!

[@endianAphones]

Great video. Love this. The dude without the tire rides better than me with tires. Also think I saw someone with a bike 2 sizes smaller.

[@boardenjoy2805]

Best downhill video we really see what are doing the riders. I see even when they hit rocks that puch them up they are not out of balance. My wish I do the same.

[@pablotauro580]

Missed it so much

[@SirMic4711]

I have missed this!

[@anderscma0790]

7:25 "That's how you do that line! Graceful!

[@orlandoyapura]

Great like allways!

[@momchilmarinov2625]

Brendog's still holding on those flat pedals. Frickin hauling!

[@nickmaclachlan5178]

Looks like filling his crank axle with Lead has helped....lol.

[@hillivanilli]

worldcup season!!! let's gooo!!!

[@Lee-eu6wf]

Love watching a rider smooth a section out

[@HannyDart]

7:16 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@derekbaker8791]

The sounds of those bikes...

[@francoisjoly7696]

Seems like Gwin kenda got a flat...

[@pulDag]

9:15 dancing queen

[@travisramos5989]

How are those new tires doing Aaron?

[@Marc28031984]

Scary how fast some of them are. 🤙🏼

[@maximegermon1625]

May someone explain me how to watch qualifier runs ? I didn’t find any live streaming on red bull TV before final run…

[@harveycasey1900]

It really sucks to hear that Red Bull will no longer televise these races after this season. But as long as Vital is still around doing what they do best I'll be happy & content next season🤘🏿

[@TNW84]

Wyn Masters hit that double tooooo clean!

[@yo_im_paul2392]

Canyon riders looking 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ImoonPeople]

at 10:35, what is that attached to the front of the fork?

[@AntonCor]

what hubs is everyone riding? they are all completely silent.

[@FoilPowell]

It's always so hard to tell who I'm watching. Wish you had time to lable the clips or maybe a plate number list in the description of the video. Thanks for filming and posting!

[@felipesanchez2383]

i saw fisrt rider and automatically said: here we go again!

[@Alexandros_Patsialidis]

RAW is baaaaaaaacccckkkkkk 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

[@carlitosdh14]

🔥🔥

[@blacksquirrel4008]

Who blows the whistle, and why?

[@mtbct]

Thank you for showing RAW. Love seeing "pros" getting crushed with 200mm of travel! 🤣

[@mattiacorallo8138]

Who is the first rider of the video?

[@currentsupply]

VITAL MTB is best!

[@currentsupply]

TREK has the best branding, most other Jerseys you can't even tell who they are riding for. The Blue GT bike stands out Pretty well. Teams need better jersey design.

[@jbflynn4134]

Santa Cruz is pretty clear

[@OFCR1]

The bikes are pretty obvious though

[@MTB852]

Just wondering, DID ROCKSHOCKS recall all their products lol?

[@MikeSeagroves]

So I'm kinda new to the mtb world. I've been watching a lot of tutorial videos that show techniques like pre-loading, absorbing, and moving body position around on the bike. These guys don't seem to be doing much outside of maintaining attack position and absorbing some big obstacles with their legs. Obviously the movements are accentuated/exaggerated in a tutorial, but I just can't believe how stationary these guys appear on the bike. Are they just so good that it's hard to see a lot of what they're doing? (They're obviously very good, otherwise this would just be a competition of who has the biggest cahones)

[@vitalmtb]

i think you're correct in that their movements are subtle. if one of these riders ripped a section and then an average joe followed, the differences in technique would be apparent. their confidence is a significant factor in their speed too.

[@michalhornicek8061]

wow

[@Kev.in-Bike]

Really hard race

[@insaneyoggi]

That cute little red flag, it's so fitting

[@rocketyusuf9528]

[@AquaticBaboon]

So many tires getting beat down :p

[@PenDragonsPig]

Oh no! Gravity. I didn’t see that coming. Who do I sue?

🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@samfletcher4808]

Man this track is great for spectators

[@Kevin-be1ou]

Looks fun to ride but horrifying to race.

[@busterbrownbitch]

2:55 was noice!

[@AG-io5wr]

PomPon!!!🙌

[@georgeschannel9411]

Our Lady of Lourdes, please pray for these bikers that they be kept safe from injury whilst practicing this sport that they love. I ask this in Jesus' name.

[@danraha]

1:59 is that Mille?

[@mariusmartin7689]

It is

[@sensai_miagi]

Lot of crazy shit going on there 😅

[@MultiTerrainBike]

aaron gwin chainless winning run ❌ 11:05 13:01 we are practicing tireless winning run ✅

[@boardenjoy2805]

Maybe we can set a money pot to offer him a tire, and something to eat.

[@danraha]

Wtf Danny

[@T-rick]

Too bad Trek plasters their name on the back of the black jerseys. Can't tell who is who!

[@_kwstas_3932]

1st lets goo🤘🤘

[@findkip]

Why? What is the purpose of that. Lol

[@gbvtt76]

i'm so fed up of the oranges fox 40 just so we know what fork it is. It was nice for a few race but it's been like 4/5 years and some of the bikes are juste plain uglier with it

[@shaunezzy544]

Ok

[@johnnymcmurdo]

So you are annoyed at a component company using the component companies main colour, thats like getting annoyed at dvo green, or rockshox red, or the vitalMTB logo being green.

[@jemez_mtn]

@@johnnymcmurdo Rockshox main color to me is still mag gold 😅
