Josh is THE rider of his generation what a legend, soooo down to earth and a total shreader.
It's 6am and I'm waiting for the second gondola at the last Mega. I was coming from Vajuany in stead of Alpe d'Huez so I had to wait for the full cars to pass. I'm standing there when the doors open on a packed car with Josh, Sam and the rest of the top boys sitting there in dark silence. Josh slowly looked out the car and made eye contact. The slowest, warmest smile spread across his face. I returned the smile and the doors closed on his car. Really set the tone for a great day. Class act, rad rider and true ambassador of the sport.
Nominate both Danny Hart and Mr Bryceland as guest commentators at the next world cup race. It'd make me concentrate! ..and I'm British. 🧐
And Steve Pete.

Funny enough this was probably the first time ever i was able to understand about 95% of what he was saying. And while i speak fluent english, i´m still german and usually only hear gibberish when listening to the rat.
I´m inclined to think they gave him instructions to speak clearly before doing a 50 minute interview :-D
@@bikesnblades6737
I've never had problem understanding the guy, dunno what everyone is on about.
@@bryantrudy568 good for you. For me his voice is very nasal and he doesn't enunciate. This was one of his better interviews though.
@@bryantrudy568 and some proper Lad Named GUY MARTIN..LOL
Awesome interview. The vibe was great.
Bryceland is so down to earth and really embodies the soul of mountain biking.
Without him I think the industry would have continued to go off track.
A top level pro steps back to blast burms with his mates and live life to the fullest really puts things into perspective.
Have fun, Ride or die!
Great interview ,ratboy is one of the coolest characters in the mountain biking world.
Bryceland is legend 💪 I love mtb, but the industry is embarrassing with all the tech nerdizm and trend must haves. He's making a real statement and I'm with it 100% 🥳 Hoots mun!!!
If Danny Hart was there , we would need three translators.
Flatzout give them a couple of shots and maybe it will be less mumbled.
Seriously you need to learn English
@@s.j.bvlogs3847 seriously YOU need to learn some sense of humour...
seriously people need to learn new jokes
Flatzout damn no doubt that thick accent these guys have it’s like drunken slur
Fantastic work Si, Josh should be respected for his utter honesty and aint as daft as he sounds!
It's so nice hearing the gospel and not the endless soulless market/manufacture crap. Good luck Josh so happy for you. Little bikes are where it's at!!!
I've been struggling with the same feelings and thoughts as Josh about racing... And its a bummer, but nice to finally see that I'm not the only one fed up with this racing scene. It's also great to see how he could take a step back and reflect, and re-learn to love the sport in itself. Rat Boy you've definitely been a huge inspiration to me. Keep rippin man, you got something that I've never seen in any other rider. Idk what it is necessarily but its definitely good haha.
Great interview. You got greats like Gwin who fly down a world cup track looking like an athletic competitor. That season Ratboy won it he flew down there even quicker and he made it look like he was out nailing Farmer Johns on a Tuesday with his mates and not racing against the worlds best. I think that has been my favourite season yet.
nice humble intelligent lad
and great interview ta
I do miss him at the Syndicate, along with Steve
He's right about why we ride Mountain Bikes, the core of the sport is just blasting around on your bike having fun.
Im gutted hes not racing anymore. He was pure talent but fair play to him doing his thing and what makes hime happy
The ankle injury in 2014. This is why SC syndicate moved on from Bryceland because he wasn't taking it too seriously anymore. Minnaar thought Bryceland screwed around too much, which was obvious because he really didn't try. Minnaar is intensely focused and allegedly it set him off. Then Bryceland called Minnaar gay publically which didn't help. Notice that he never mentioned Greg at all until 52:14. "Whose the last person you want standing next to you?" Josh tried to hold it in, but you know he wanted to say Gregg then he attempts to jokingly let it out. That was very real.
It was nice that SC kept him on the payroll to "play/screw around" with 50to01. Which is really what it was, they just make youtube videos of them screwing around and get paid a little for it. Cannondale paid him much more money.
Cannondale really needs Bryceland because people don't really take that company serious for MTB. I don't see him lasting with that company though, Cannondale is too scared to push the limits and Josh will push the limits. SC company atmosphere fit Josh perfect because they gave him the freedom to be himself but the pay was not mint. Cannondale I think will attempt to temper him.
I suspect Cannondale planning to do copy cat videos like SC syndicate and YT mob vids to promote Josh. Good on Josh for all success in the future. Cannondale is lucky to have him.
Cannondale is taken pretty seriously in xco. Although I don't really like their bikes either.
All I heard: "Beer and sex and chips and gravy" Yeah baby!
That's about the gist of it!
No sheep until Buxton 😎
One of the Best MTB interviews to date!!! Such Real-ness haha, Touched on just about everything in the cycling world! One thing I would say is maybe XC is like the new Road bike scene converging into mtb.. Maybe we are seeing more XC views than DH now because more hard core Road bikers are now getting their feet wet in XC cycling!? just my 1.5 cents
Um no biggest names in XC started with XC riding, the reason XC have more views are new courses with technical climb and dh sections, and of course new generation of xc bikes which are fast, agile and climbs perfect.
They've done a good job of promoting xc and adjusting the courses to make it more entertaining. The addition of short track maybe helped as well.
ratboy is king
Legend my idol hope all good things keep coming you're way Rat, you and you're riding is just pure joy of the sport the steeze is next level.
I'm 14 and race downhill, enduro, xc and cyclocross but i still love to chill out with my mates and session stuff hard. Just a balance isn't it? Same with the jumps. I love a bit of jumping but its a different thrill to railing a berm or the loosest, steepest section.
Agree! I keep things balanced
@@Loosebirnieee yeah lad just helps you keep enjoying the sport as much as you can do.
33:44 why we all dig 50 to 1
eggzactly!
Quality interview. So level headed and chilled. Good work pink bike.
Good for Gwin for sure but IMO... McLaren, Mcschlaren... who gives a funk what car or bike you drive or ride. Its great that he's had success, or anyone. Its just about getting out and riding and having fun. Jibbin, cuttin, and slashin. Hittin some steeps and climbing those punchy achievements, getting that adrenaline and descending and just flowing and feeling the earth and being in it. Its like surfing. That's what its all about.
Great listen this! Nice one Ratboy!!! Reppin' the BudBMX hat too :D Sheffield represent!!
No subtitles? The youtube ones don't works for the ratboy. And i'm french, so imagine my trouble
Try be less french maybe?
@@94GazC haha
Ça passe au calme, regarde les stories de Ajay Jones après tu peux comprendre n'importe quel accent anglais 😂
@@angejamin8076 je'mappelle en bibliotech !!@
Long live the rat
He's a good man that Bryceland.
Great conversation guys, Si you rounded off really well at the end too ......... PS: Ratboy for PM
14:20 for the Claudio stuff
small bikes is whats gud,
often see smaller people slung over huge bikes struggling to throw their weight about
26' is perfect, and if you're a big guy eg ( peaty) then it makes for the maddest style
niice 1 rat
This interview made me wanna go ride. Even just screw around in the driveway and have fun. Thanks!
utter class Ratboy is the man end of!!
After half way interviewers head was falling off from the behind the scenes J 😄
best interview iv seen! Josh is the best!!
I can remember when I swapped si's Hayes brake levers at a dragon.
Storytime!
Rad interview!! bloody love ratboy!! Looking fresh af
Fuck me he’s the only person who finds his questions interesting.
Long live Ratboy.
great interview. thanks Pinkbike
Brilliant interview. Really enjoyed it.
Top lad.
30 seconds in and they mention "The Mac Lads" ... oh yes!! ... "Gordon's Revenge" 😂 ... I had a couple of albums on cassette tape! (Now I have to go find somewhere to get some of their music again but in the new fangled digital format) ... and watch the rest of this vid of course! ;)
I would totally ride a rat bike, that sounds super sick.
What a legend!
Bryceland Bikes🤘🤘. Anything Josh Brands is Golden
ratboy is the rob machado of mtb
Nice one lads good luck for the future
Why Cannondale??? Santa Cruz such a great company.
Santa Cruz is crap Cannondale is even worst.
I wished he went for commencal or nukeproof... Even Marin would have been cool!
@@pb8582 lmao apparently you never have owned either one.
It’s all about vibes, eating dirt and catching air...
Great interview
Danny harts dad was one of the crazy dad's at races
Proper fella
What’s going on with Rats bike sponsor these days in 2021?
I still see him ride his Santa Cruz in the 50to01 vids, but also saw him in a Cannondale Ebike Demo video that was released a few months ago.
I don’t get how he’s allowed to ride for two different bike brands or am I missing something?
Would be really nice if someone could explain this to my uneducated self!
It seems like this interviewer still doesn't get what Josh is about. It's interesting how he talks down to him for walking away from racing and now doing "skids and wheelies." Josh is doing what he wants, having fun. That's what MTB is all about. Or at least what it's all about for me.
hardtail party mtb is about one thing doing what you want. mad props to him
Talks down to him? Did you watch the same video as everybody else? Idiot
Trust me, the "interviewer" knows more about British mtbing and the figures who r part of it than u cud ever dream of
I completely with you on this, all these bros on here with hard on for what's his face because he's some fixture in the Brit DH scene and that is completely irrelevant and zero excuse for talking the way he does. honestly, just another Dinosaur of toxic male behavior in the world of mountain biking.
ZoeShreds you chat so much shit, how can any bad be taken from this video with 2 of the most light hearted down to earth guys in mtb
Rattie you legend
*turns subtitles on*
Nice interview Bryceland... Understood everything, clearly not everyone speaks Marple Bridge..Was that 6 months for the broken foot.. Damn I hope not, I just did the same, 6 months off the bike.. Arrrrrrr, no way..
sadly you haven´t talked about Doul Slalom
I could of watched this for hours more
Bud bmx hat haha big crew
Brill interview
9K USD/year riding for Santa Cruz, wouw that's low!
Time stamp?
@@Co-km6cl 13:44 I think
he says: 9k in the beginning. Probably more for the last couple of years. Especially since josh represented SC so well
He said that was when he was a junior.
For Santa Cruz syndicate junior team not full Santa Cruz team
Josh is the man
Good video 👍🏼
Not sure why he keeps on commenting on Josh's age and him "not getting any younger". He's 28! Many years riding left in him.
Dave Kelly this is reply is a little late lol, but at 22:04 the interviewer literally says “your only 28” :)
Cross country is on the telly in Europe... just like snooker is here...
What is the song called si played anybody???????????????
wheels of fire
Whats so strange about me - eight dayz
21:11 Steve Peat's response to Ratboy joining Cannondale, "I wish him all the luck, he's going to need it riding that bike." Lol, Peaty spoke truth. Cannondale versus a Santa Cruz, eh hem, I hope Ratboy is getting paid really nice making that kind of downgrade. That's like saying I'm leaving Ferrari to join Ford.
I fuckin love rat boy! Im thinking bout buying a F'N Cannondale cause fuckin Josh rides one. LONG LIVE THE RAT!
wins world cup: "Hmm that was nice"
The dh money is reflective of economic times. Nobody is putting in a million times more effort and sacrifice than others but is paid a million times greater..
dang
Mint.
Is this available in podcast form? Not everyone has time to sit and watch and hour long interview...
It's not but the Pinkbike podcast is a nice idea...
Canondale must really be hurting to pull this stunt
Well said Josh "Fuck Their money"
We need a Ratboy to english translator!!! xD
Ratboy is a badass, but captions please... lol
You guys who can't understand it we get it his accent is hard for you to understand stop saying he can't talk jeez I'm from Sheffield and I understand everything sounds normal to me.
so you can´t speak either?
I'm from the US and had no trouble understanding him. But I've been listening to British accents on TV for most of my life.
@@hobit00 haha yea I suppose so, my accent isn't anyway near as thick as his like.
From New Zealand. Understood all.
what language is this person speaking?
50to01 Lifestyle Boi! \m/
Can't understand a word....RIP JMR
DH isn't meant to be mainstream
Fucking Claudio!
Huh?
He sounds like Wallace from wallace and gromit
great watch he believed in im self and done what he wanted and payed of
Is it just me... Or did they seem to cut that chat about "down-sizing a frame" a bit short... Doesn't quite fit the Longer-Lower-Slacker narrative... Or perhaps I should just put my tin-foil hat back on... :/
with today's plethora of different bike geometries on the market, where basically everyone can find a suitable bike to their liking, do you really think it is a conspiracy of some sort?
@@lux-3001 Naa... Not really... It was just the way that line of conversation ended. It was kinda like Josh finished his sentence, and the interviewer just looked at his paper, and changed to subject. I mean, here's Ratboy, one of the fastest and most skilled people on a bike... Surely his thoughts on worth a little bit of exploring?!?
Downhills not cool 50/1 rule. Its all about getting Stoked on content and riding...
I cant understand him. English is not my native language, but i can rather understand 90% typically. Here 10%. Is it a specific dialect??? :)
He's from Sheffield, England. So I guess it's a Manchester accent
I do love ratboy but the “World Cup isn’t for me” business does seems a bit like him throwing his toys out of the pram when he wasn’t doesn’t as well.
meh, you can tell he is a chilled guy not an ultra competitive personality, to race world cups you need to WANT IT. He just doesnt, you can tell.
What?
I can understand ratboy more than normal English 0_o
A lot of comments on not being able to understand Josh, what's wrong with you all,non of you can speak 6 languages like me.😀
Wrekd
Yeeeaa tom the inisiat is clav Ratboy of u gan the donwhill is bige in Word sigi gran boi. disf tan visi of carers in the times toors 👋👍💯👏😋🤘📹🚴from Chile te cre good luki bois 👏 😋
Jesus....Austin Powers. I can’t understand 1 word this guy says. He might be good for voiceovers.
The closed captioning can't even get it right hahaha
53 minutes of mumble?! 😂 Can't take it.. Epic rider tho!
Good luck to the guy .
Claudio probably misunderstood what type of green you were quitting racing for .
It was a shock to hear Claudio's announcement at the time but the rumours had been all over the tinternet way before he opened his mouth so someone must of been taking or overhearing but still very unprofessional of Claudio.
How do cannondale feel having there new ambassador completely change a bike that's just been launched.i understand the reason behind it but id be pretty pissed .
As a privateer it was hard and still is hard to watch those who's hearts not really in it anymore race for the big teams and I'm glad some teams have given some of them a chance this season .
The explosion of RUclips means people can get out of it what they want without having to race or be a so called professional.
I also take issue with the monster energy sponsor .you want to be more responsible to your younger fans but yet the language used in this and other bids that your young fans will watch is very unnecessary.
The world would be a boring place if all racers were like gee and gwinn but I firmly believe for the sport to grow from the sponsors side of things it needs more professional people less ratboy and atwill .
Watching Phil asking for bear straight after a race live on TV might be funny but it's not what the sponsors want to see .
At 28 people generally know where there going in life but guess you've still to figure it out and good luck with everything.
Your missed at the wcups but loris and Shaw have absolutely taken the bull by the horns .
Who else needs subtitles to understand half the things Josh says.
The "back in my day.." and misogynist remarks from this dude guy interviewing Josh are soooooo annoying. Way to handle that garbage with grace Rat!
Si is a decent lad who has put his heart and soul into the UK DH race scene, even when it was dying on its arse a few years ago. The Malverns last year was purely down to him, Clive G, Jay Hardy, Jez Avery and all us old fart riders from 20 years ago. Doing it all again this year. Giving back to the sport that gave to us. As Josh put it, ridings all about jibing about on bikes and having fun. Si referred to the DJ scene in the 00's It was massive, again best of times just arsing about on bikes
And who exactly are you Zoe? That dude is probably the most influential guy in the UK, and therefore the world, downhill scene. You on the otherhand seem like an angry woman looking for something to whine about.
@@MD-uu5nt Place and put. If you are at the Malverns pint on me.
@D Si Paton is the most influential person in WC downhill racing? Get a grip. And yes, his comment about "fit women" in Josh's yoga class did sound pretty puerile. I don't think Si's comments were misogynistic, but your response certainly was. Maybe you need to relax? Try yoga.
clearly, I do not care what the guys accomplishments are, I'm just saying he's got a rather off-putting point of view about women, even Rat was like whoa bro, that's inappropriate just from his face expressions and body language. Why you taking it personal?
