I know people that can absolutely shred a bike in the woods when they have no pressure but if you add a major sponsor and enrol them in race circuits they would crumble, the expectation and pressure would strip them of there skills in a heart beat. I know this because that was me. Racing at this level takes way more than just being to handle a bike fast down a hill. Anyone winning races at this level are superhuman or pretty close to it. Downhill is a special kind of beast. Good luck Richie.
I re-discovered downhill biking for me at age of 38 after a lifecrysis. I can empathize the emotion in that video, cause I never felt that free when riding. Watching this gives me goosebumps.
DUUUUUDE SOOOOO GOOD!!!! I had the immense pleasure of watching Richie race at Mt Snow when I first got into mountain biking back in 2010. I think he was only 15 if I remember right but EVERYONE was talking about that kid. I congratulated him and I just knew I would be seeing much more of RUDE BOY!!!!!!!! Outstanding
Yeti history runs deep ! QUESTION ? Who’s your favorite ? Who’s the most bad-ass Yeti racer of all time..!?! Today Richie certainly is at the tip of the spear. Remember Tomac, Missy,Miles Rockwell even Gwinn. ? A huge nod to John Parker, Chris Herting and LEGEND F.T.W. Frank “the welder” Wadelton) Back in the day Yeti’s were the shit and cooler than free beer. However my vote goes to my best friend, cycling phenom- one whom has given more than anyone…. Kenny “Haggar” Foraker Hit by a drunk driver in ‘86 losing his left leg and still just simply SHREDS ! How shreddy ? He was signed as their factory D.H.er in ‘93 with yes one leg !!! Go Richie ! Kick-ass sea-bass.. but remember if Haggar had 2 legs everyone else would be racing for second.
Wow amazing. I wish I could ride like that or at all really. I purchased a YT Capra and it broke almost immediately so I haven’t had a bike in months. I wish that I bought a bike from a company like Yeti. Smoke those weirdo clowns over at YT for me!!!

True that !
Really awesome to see Jared in this video. Sooo stoked to see him recovered from kicking cancer's ass.
Thanks for including us in the video. We had a blast!
god, the shots in north shore are just *chef kiss* - Gotta make some of those wallpapers.
RICHIE is like Kobe Bryant from MTB world. A guy with precise skill and a cold mentality dedicated all passion and energy to racing
“Mom makes banana bread, ya know , just kinda hang out “ love it haha banger of a vid
This was surprisingly very grounding. I think we forget sometimes that we just all love to ride.. very humanizing edit I loved it!
whoever colorgraded the last bit needs a big raise!!
Love all the footage in North Conway, NH where I live and ride. Awesome video.
Incredible looking place.
yep...great spot
Got goosebumps during the whole video. Richie you are a huge inspiration, can't wait to cheer you up in a DH WC.
What do you mean to cheer him up on a dh wc ?
@@DarkKnight0183 cause maybe with the new dh bike he'll try to do some downhill world cups,
@@geiar7079 Yeah, I just googled Yeti dh bike and found that they have a new prototype of a true dh bike, not the sb165 with double crown fork
@@DarkKnight0183 yeah, you can seen it in action in the video
As long as he drinks from his bottle...
Richie is a legend! NEW DH bike looks dialed already.. 100% stunner of a bike
What a video!! And the landscape!!
Super lovely.... Yeti keeps stretching my imagination
Richie always has the sickest kit to match perfect with his speed and style.
I re-discovered downhill biking for me at age of 38 after a lifecrysis. I can empathize the emotion in that video, cause I never felt that free when riding.
Watching this gives me goosebumps.
Racing is rarely all that fun. No pressure free ride days is where the fun is.
Richie against Sam Hill in DH 🔥
Connecticut checking in... we love our hometown boy!
This was awesome! I was expecting a shredit, but was happy to get some insight into what makes Richie tick.
DUUUUUDE SOOOOO GOOD!!!! I had the immense pleasure of watching Richie race at Mt Snow when I first got into mountain biking back in 2010. I think he was only 15 if I remember right but EVERYONE was talking about that kid. I congratulated him and I just knew I would be seeing much more of RUDE BOY!!!!!!!! Outstanding
Met Jared Graves in 2012.Didnt realize he had Cancer.Glad he pulled thru.Lost my dad this yr to it.
could watch Richie ride all day long. dude is a beast! Really hope to see him in some WC DH Races!
I love my YETI :)
Richie is the GOAT
Dude that new Sb160 looks so nice and i want it so bad! Unfortunately i already sold a kidney for my current sled.
The color grading on this video is phenomenal. Love the flow with backstory just as much as the shredding. Great video and top notch riding.
That is a beautiful film, love love the colours and framing.
Richie is FOR SURE one of my favorite riders! So much talent!
This is THE absolutely masterpiece! Thanks!
Such an amazing time at Lincoln woods 🙌
Very good and inspirational video documentary.....!
очень красивое видео😍🤩 good video🤗
The world in eyes of the beholder, for sure dude 🤔👌🏾👍🏾😊

Man that is one of the best videos I seen in a while! Richie fu*king rips
You’re the Pick for 2023 my friend! Go F’n get’um
Yeti bikes = Art of bike
What an awesome video, can’t wait for more
Nice fella and rides a yeti.....double bonus
Stellar. And I’m sorry, did we just see a Yeti DH prototype???
Maybe, or it might be debadged and decal stripped other brand's bike.
@@MikemoRides Thinking the same thing. No switch infinity and the shock angle. Who knows, maybe it’s a Yeti boi.
Yes yes you did. One off bike use for him I’d say.
@@MikemoRides it's a yeti. They have limited info about in under "special projects" on their website
What a great video
Awesome video 😎🤙🏿
Legend 🖤
Looking forward to this season!
He whipped a rock roll ya’ll. 😳
Such a great video 👏
Nice vid. Richie seems always a little unapproachable, but this vid shows opposite!great camera views and sexy trails!
When can we expect to see that DH bike on the market? 😍🔥
Yeti history runs deep !
QUESTION ?
Who’s your favorite ?
Who’s the most bad-ass Yeti racer of all time..!?!
Today Richie certainly is at the tip of the spear.
Remember Tomac, Missy,Miles Rockwell even Gwinn. ? A huge nod to John Parker, Chris Herting and LEGEND F.T.W. Frank “the welder” Wadelton)
Back in the day Yeti’s were the shit and cooler than free beer.
However my vote goes to my best friend, cycling phenom-
one whom has given more than anyone….
Kenny “Haggar” Foraker
Hit by a drunk driver in ‘86 losing his left leg and still just simply SHREDS !
How shreddy ? He was signed as their factory D.H.er in ‘93 with yes one leg !!!
Go Richie ! Kick-ass sea-bass.. but remember if Haggar had 2 legs everyone else would be racing for second.
Awesome.. 🦾
Rude v Hill v Bruni v Goldstone. 2023 DH will be all time.
Very good content
Whatever the outcome, Richie is always the guy to beat. Love to see a DH run this year.
Amazing video
I need more info on that DH bike!!!!
Enduro bike
Prob sb165
Wouw is he going to race DH too with a prototype Yeti DH bike ..... spicy!!!
Bro making the chunky look like a day on the pump track 😩😂🔥👌
The beast from the Northeast 🤘
Awesome video
Anytime, you can avoid punching a clock from 9 to 5 doing something you enjoy AND making a living….THATS CALLED WINNING IN LIFE.
100% dude!! ❤
Brilliant.
So good
Epic vid 👌
Please can you ship over to the uk some of those race jerseys please
For the intro segment, is that Cathedral ledge and North Conway, NH?
I wanna see Richie race a DH world cup so bad

Animal!
It would be nice if they could have these bikes for rental at dyfi bike park.
Nice
Any other New Englanders momentarily confused when the “North Shore” title popped up? I was ready for some Lynn Woods for a split second.
Brooo please put Richie in some WC.. that would be sick.
Where is this trail system??
w feature
only clip I cared about was you riding your top cap like a g
Best handlebar rider out there 🎉
Fuck yeah Richie another world champs!
Which bike was that?

Pro athletes only.

What is Ray up to these days? Clearly still finding time to get some air miles in!
2023 worldchampion,

If only your prices were affordable
Please give me a yeti cycle this is my dream
Wow amazing. I wish I could ride like that or at all really. I purchased a YT Capra and it broke almost immediately so I haven’t had a bike in months. I wish that I bought a bike from a company like Yeti.
Smoke those weirdo clowns over at YT for me!!!
what broke? frame?
Rude AF \m/
I always love watching Richie Rude content. However, they couldn’t help themselves and jammed in a some E-bike content towards the end…🤦🏼♂️🤷🏻♂️
Wow, rude.
water bottle
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
