If you love gravity and extreme mountain biking, you’ve probably heard of the Frenchman, Remy Metailler. He has been a top rider at Red Bull Rampage for many years, has solid performances at urban downhill racing around the world, and he’s the incredible mountain biker you imagine as a Whistler Bike Park legend. He is also passionate about teaching others about anything related to mountain biking through his YouTube Channel. He talks about all the nuances of bike, tire, and suspension set-up so you’re dialed for your ride, trail previews of popular trails, especially the lines you’d never consider riding, and more pro tips. Plus, he can pretty much ride the impossible.
Remy also loves the business of being a pro mountain biker and has built his career with his own team of partners, is a well-known product tester for many brands he works with (and he does push his bike to the limit with the type of riding he does). He also loves trail riding. I loved talking to Remy because he reminds us how important it is to focus on the development of skills, truly understanding how all of your equipment works, how to analyze what happened if something goes wrong on a trail, and how important progression and safety are when it comes to riding technical terrain. He is also passionate about the environment and we got into what he does to make a positive impact near the end of the show and of course- the questions you guys submitted! I think you'll enjoy this episode because not only is Remy extremely knowledgeable, but he is articulate, very honest, and humble.
