CHRISTIAN RIGAL - 'By The Homies' | World of X Games

With no production, deadline, or professional filmer in sight, this mtb video, 'By The Homies' came together as I handed off my camera to some close friends to capture the most fun and unique setups I could find/build around home and on the road!
Filmed across California, into Oregon and even a clip in Utah, this video wouldn't have been possible without my talented friends DeMarcus Paul, Corey Martinez, Brandon Semenuk and Rob Wise.
Thanks to X Games for hosting, Warish for the music, Racket Sound on the audio, Trevor Lyden for the photos, and all my sponsors for keeping me rollin! -Christian

[@campbellclark3458]

So sick!!!

[@rory9560]

Love how this is in the style of a BMX street edit but on a MTB 🤙

[@richduperbash2966]

Talk about full commit hucks 👀. That was Badass.

[@MTB-ENG]

Always stoked to see Rigal getting some much deserved shine. Love that he uses the MTB to open up things that wouldn't be possible on a 20"

[@rigalvisuals7871]

Thanks man I appreciate that!

[@LOVEisTHEultimateLAW]

@@rigalvisuals7871 insane edit just mental

[@davetbassbos]

@@rigalvisuals7871 Your made it look great man!, I've never even tried a dual suspension but looks like there is a little delay in pump or pop and then it kicks back the energy like a spring?

[@jibexslam]

@@davetbassbos yes, kind of that

[@davetbassbos]

@@jibexslam Thanks!, I started watching some of the World Cup DH races on KZbin, those bikes look like motorcycles, you can kind of see how they use the suspension after a while, looks fun!

[@maicodm9560]

Wow! So epic! Greetings from Argentina!! 🤘🤘

[@brandonperez2267]

Heavy filming crew.

[@StepanFromRussia]

Еее, стритец, пацаны :)

[@johnlopez4089]

Super creative lines for a MTB. Love it. Makes me want to put down my S&M ATF and break out my Pslope 👍👍🔥🔥

[@joellewis759]

Wow this was awesome, the creativity! A great video by great guys! 👊🔥

[@TeddyParker]

Rob Warner watching the banger: "He's got no chain! How's Aaron Gwi-... Christian doing it!?"

[@rafelic]

[@sswitchedsd]

I recognize a bunch of those spots! Cool edit!

[@jakegallardo42]

That was so hectic

[@josephsmith2859]

Was waiting for that speed limit sign to just flash “gnar”

[@Kalen-sedg]

The right side tables make it look so nice

[@GORKHERIDER]

Dope

[@hugogastro]

WooHoo🤘🏻

[@gabrielruiz2444]

Sarpado 💪🤙

[@joski9030]

My man riding that mtb like a bmx 🔥 Is that a Scott voltage ? Looks nice

[@evilc.reations]

fucken inspirational double pocket wallride on a full sus has gotta be NDB

[@gdefoz]

J'ai l'impression de voir un freerider a l'ancienne, c'est trop plaisant.

[@XGames]

What's your favorite section of Christian's part?

[@seanwalsh3052]

wall to wall

[@MTB-ENG]

Wall to wall is gnarly, the roof drop to manual fire cracker was rad too. Then the big block Manny firecracker.... So much 🔥

[@sebastienohalloran]

footplant to roof drop into stairs was bonkers

[@FLY1NF1SH]

@@sebastienohalloran agreed, getting the foot back on to target that landing? sheeeeesh

[@igorete]

scott ransom 😍 🤙🏻

[@joshfoster6669]

I have to be honest, when he rode past the speed trap and it didn't trip, I was disappointed

[@Twowheeledchaos]

That Reuben ender tho…

[@geardantonio7826]

Duck flap ..flat great

[@CoolScreenName]

That was wild!!!

[@johncast9565]

2:36 "was that a Peeping Tom" Naw just a dude jumping over our window.

[@ethanbenton6676]

its like bmx mixed with big hit freeride

[@R.Aktive]

If youve ever tried to bunny hop one of these bikes youll understand how impressive this is lol

[@mistahfabb2064]

WAIT! THATS NOT JOSH STRICKER!

[@louisboem5264]

A carbon bike could not survive this ride. INSANE!!

[@atheistmoe5528]

How that bike stays together No bent rims or flats IDK

[@XGames]

🤷‍♂️

[@atheistmoe5528]

@@XGames happened to my bikes time to time H@te flats and bent rims

[@rigalvisuals7871]

Industry Nine rims, tubes, and Schwalbe tires haha

[@friendly0perator779]

Alright i guess mountain biking is cool again 🙄👍😁

[@aronlepp4827]

Ah yes markitt failed in bmx so let’s slap it into the mtb world.

[@daniell653]

Anyone know the model of the motorcycle?

[@Tejno]

Probably a Harley Iron 883

[@MoshPitCreator]

If your joints are no longer sqwouchi as an Air Nike, get a suspension bike! ^^

[@jade1879]

Does anybody know wich rear shox he is running on his bike?(if it is a scott genius?) PS: Really nice video

[@rigalvisuals7871]

it's a Ransom, I run a 205x65 rockshox super deluxe coil, 550lb

[@keviolaf01]

did he really just street dirt?

[@locvu1]

What make/model is the bike ?

[@64Spokes]

Scott ransom but with 27.5 wheels

[@64Spokes]

Is that ransom still 29”?

[@rigalvisuals7871]

27.5!

[@donovancaruso5494]

This dude reminds me of an older Dylan Stark

[@Andrew-kx1sq]

Does he ride a smaller bike?

[@rigalvisuals7871]

Medium frame, 50mm stem, 27.5 wheels 👌🏻

[@Urbeks1]

I'am curious if he rides 29 or 27.5

[@rigalvisuals7871]

27.5!

[@getsaucedon9313]

Bice

[@TheBClark88]

Street riding on enduro bikes is a trend I’m looking forward to seeing the back of

[@MarioXcore1]

This is obscene

[@elijahbrazil1611]

badass but dylan starks better

[@jacobonthecorn7459]

MTB in the streets is the way to go. Get off those clown bikes and be a man haha

[@Ful-OGold]

That’s not a bmx

[@TAHyron]

All fun and games until he loses a wheel mid air

[@RossDaB0SS]

I mean..

[@RezneckRides]

These street MTB edits are so fuckin’ cheesy.

[@coldworld5]

If this was on a bmx it literally would have been really below average in 2001. Failing bmx pro goes to MTB. So laughable

[@MTB-ENG]

Very very little of this could be done on a BMX .. just stop dude

[@joelsittler6997]

​@@MTB-ENG I duno bro. I count 12 clips where the run up/run out or obstacle looks perfectly rideable/trickable for a BMX bike and 4 where you would probably want/need a mountain bike. Have you ever watched an old Bone Deth or FBM Ghetto jam?

[@Moloko_Synthemesc]

@@MTB-ENG you act like this is something so ground breaking when literally all he is doing is stuff bmx riders have been doing for years... on a bigger bike.
