you can do anything you have a desire for. its seems difficult because u dont have the desire to do it. it's scary for me too because i know i don't have a passion for riding mtbs
Three hours in that park, 5 days in the St. Franziskus Hospital, clavicle broken in three, emergency surgery, titanium plate with 7 screws, a broken rib and the worst of all, two injured ribs + the hospital cold, coughing is the worst of all. Anyway, it was my fault.
You young riders ( i'm 77) have no idea how skilled you are compared to when MT, biking first started ,back in the days of the invention of the Mt. bike in Marin county calif. we NEVER imagined it was possible what is being done today .
Didn't you boomer kids just use old-timey road bikes and just throw yourself down sketchy fire roads up in the hills? Kids probably got messed up with injuries etc, but all the innovations that came from kids just trying anything to see what happens is why we have everything as is today. Props!
we used mostly cruisers /clunkers , like for example , a schwinn doubly top tube bike which was very popular in the late fifties . the brakes were coaster/reverse pedal . stopping took forever 😂
It’s the progress and gear. You guys arguably had more guts because you hadn’t seen people demonstrate what was possible yet, and gear was far from smooth or forgiving.
i think the "guts" thing is the same in every generation . We did ceremonies to the elementals and the local Gods at the top, to assist us in stopping .😂
I've been watching your videos a lot lately. I've been focused on work and getting life sorted out that I've put cycling on the back burner. I'm looking forward to getting my bike up and running and hitting the local trails. Thanks for keeping the spark alive.
I recently went to winterberg with a couple of friend coming from the west side of the netherlands. Pretty much zero downhill there. It is just insane how much you can progress in a well build bikepark in 2 days. I even did the roadgap which is like 5 times bigger than the drops i did before. Amazing video.
Your purpose for posting these videos have served well! I'm 43 now and needed to find something to keep me fit and to build up some muscle since I've lost some from amphetamine use over the years. Not heavy drug use, but since I'm getting old I feel the need to both get more fit and have some more thrilling action at the same time. I also need to meet people and get away from home. I'm usually a lonewolf and stay home most time by myself but I feel the urge to out there now! Usually I just ride my longboards or drive my motorcycle, but I'm gonna give this a try, nothing fancy or expensive to begin with. Just a used bike with suspension. I started out with motorcycles as age 7 and also some mtb in my teens but motocross got too expensive and a lot of other things in life took over. Worked as motorcycle courier year around so I got some good backbone and muscle memory. Thanks for the inspiration man!
Awesome video man! I got a friend who trail races and works as a mechanic at a bike shop. he’s walkin me through the basics right now at tiny, learner bike parks, so it’s always a treat to see someone braving out the extreme trails like these. Cheers and keep up the awesome content!
10:45 man I laughed at that part. Something about coming across a part you’re not expecting is something I can relate to. Really great video, great skill as well.
Wow! Just ran into your channel and those bike trails are amazing! Looks scary but for you it's probably nothing but thanks for sharing! It's beautiful and so cool!
Thanks for the insight into the Winterberg Bike Park! I don't ride mountainbikes myself, but pass through Winterberg a couple times every year on my motorbike. Always see loads of mountainbikers there enjoying themselves and I always wondered what exactly they're doing there... now I know. Looks pretty amazing to me, and I know I'd be a #1 candidate for the rescue helicopter if I ever tried this myself... 😂 So I guess I'll stick with the summer toboggan and ziplines when I go there...
Me and the boys went here in '11 and called it the broke back brake tour.... I broke my back brake. As did you. If youre going to Winterberg take some brake spares 😂 great commentary. Really enjoyed being your passenger.
I don't think they did that on puropse... Climate Change is killing all the Spruce trees in Germany right now. Last years spring we had two storms back to back - after that you could hear chainsaws literally for weeks, cutting up all the fallen trees.
the trees died due to bark beetles, tehy all died on their own, there were some hills in Germany with all dead trees, it's now growing back slowly, and it's not just firs anymore
@@BioshynYeah, that's the good part. Monocultures are finally being replaces with mixed forests again. Shame that it took bark beetle infestations for that to happen
@trailbuilder5789 yes, those problems are extreme due to the monocultures of fast growing alpine trees, but not exclusive to Germany. Climate change will destroy many forests around the world.
Sometimes I think removing all the wow stuff and sticking to the basics is still making you a better rider , you just may not feel it because of your skill level. I ride, but I’ve been playing guitar since I was 8 (I’m 36) . I like be playing intricate stuff, but I will almost always incorporate a metronome(keeps time for you) and practice scales. One of the most monotonous things a musician can do, but easily one of the most valuable tools /practice methods. I would imagine the same is on bikes too .
@@wolfpack_adventures I know you love pop wheelies trying to show skilled handling’s aroun berms and boards perfectly with all bike control Handling please love your friend Levi steering specialist
I'm dumbfounded how far mtn. bikes have come. I started on a hardtail Ross Mt. Whitney and that was back when all anyone had was the ubiquitous Specialized Stumpjumper. Thanks for taking us along. Great ride! 🫡
i love mountian biking. Been doing it all the time here in America and we are going back to germany soon so its great to see this place and all the trails. Have heard of the bike park before and hope that I will get to riding it sometime. This looks right up my alley!
looks sick definitely a new place to go on my bucket list! and also you got any news on the downhill bike you hinted at or you off that thought now?? much love keep it up
I live in San Francisco, just across the GG bridge from "the birthplace of mountain biking " (Mt. Tamalpais) and the location of the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame (Fairfax) . . . And yet STILL we have absolutely ZERO lift servivces available anywhere nearby. Nor do we have any trails that are even CLOSE to being as well made or as well maintained as these . . . Its NOT fair. We got Joaquin Miller Park in East Bay, El Corte de Madera Creek Preserve in the Penninsula, and Annadel State Park up in Santa Rosa. If you have a car (most of us in SF dont) or can talk a riding buddy that has one into taking the trip, you got Santa Cruz about 90min drive South and Auburn a little over two hours to the East with Downieville right after Auburn . . . NONE of them have ANY lift service of any kind whatsoever. Youre lucky and blessed German riders
This is sick I just have some questions. How do you guys not slide out when taking a sharp turns on dirt? If you do end up taking a bad spill, how do you get help? Like if you broke your arm or something.
⛰ *Sick ride!* Love the woody paths toward the end of the video. Thank you for filming your rides and sharing; please keep making this awesome content! _Btw, what are those fake-looking tree stumps sticking up around the __6:40__ marker?_
These make me so tense but I love watching them from your point of view. I have no idea how you can think so fast. Id be busy dying 100 different ways. Lol.
Holy shit, the new lines in Winterberg look AWESOME. Looks like I need to finally get some new brakes on my bike so I can run these with more confidence than I've done in the past.
I life in Winterberg. Its never getting boring. But you cant imagine how much people land in the hospital after some trails. You have to visit DirtMasters Festival in Winterberg.
Hadn't seen your sht before, watched the whole thing, really enjoyable my man. Idk why but really tired of MTB-pov stuff in general but this was nice. ✌
I grew up in the 60's with some trails that we rode on, but -nothing like these. I don't think the bikes we had then would have made it through some of these trails.
This just looks terrifying to me. I give the biggest of props to people that can do these.

For me it looks painful. All these rocks and roots.

it looks like you could die in every part of this track 😱
Well thanks for the props mate

@@siriosstar4789 may I ask what do you think about the e-mtb bikers?
I am VERY curious about your word...

jesus! My heart's pounding just watching this!
This park is SICK! Great riding... Stumps always win. Cheers.
😅 Stumps definitely got the best of me
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1naw I'm good.
I love watching this ,..almost as entertaining as a movie !!! So glad you share your skill ,..
These tracks are absolutely amazing! I’d love to try them someday!
Well worth it!
I appreciate these videos because I will never ever do this. But it's cool to see it from 1st person POV
Only thing better would be one of those 360 cameras so I can watch it in VR
You made it look fun and easy , thx for the vid.
By accepting yourself and being fully what you are, your presence can make others happy.
That's hilarious the expert trails aren't groomed and look like a terrible time. Thanks for the footage!
That’s what makes them expert
Amazing to see the dedication and passion people put into making these courses while maintaining the beauty and using the natural landscape.
10:45 man I laughed at that part. Something about coming across a part you’re not expecting is something I can relate to. Really great video, great skill as well.
Pretty amazing park, has a very natural and rough edge feel to it and the wood work looks like a ton of fun.
Woodwork is mad! Really fun bike park
So much land to explore and nice weather too. 🙂
I LOVE the rush of adrenaline and excitement MTBing gives me
Brilliant camera perspectives.

definitely not the most insane thing I’ve seen you do, but the scenery and line are both incredible
Went to Winterberg a couple of times like 15 years ago or so. Nice to see how much they expanded everything! Shame they cut so many trees though :)
I don't think they did that on puropse... Climate Change is killing all the Spruce trees in Germany right now. Last years spring we had two storms back to back - after that you could hear chainsaws literally for weeks, cutting up all the fallen trees.
We have problems in Germany with the trees. They're dying because theres not enough rain, missmanagement in the forests and the f* bark beetle 😢
the trees died due to bark beetles, tehy all died on their own, there were some hills in Germany with all dead trees, it's now growing back slowly, and it's not just firs anymore

15 minutes in before i took my first look at the scenery around you. Beautiful place
ちょっとした起伏でジャンプしてるのがマリオカートみたいでかっこいい!
That was incredible! Loved it!Thanks!
That was some wild bike riding there! WOW!!! 😲😲
I‘d say that winterberg is kinda too easy when you are at a certain point of skill you don’t progress because its made for tourists
I see your point, but also disagree too - I think you can make the easier trails way more technical / ride in different ways to advance your riding

Show off 😂

Thanks for taking us along. Great ride! 🫡
I fucking LOVE watching you shred… I’m LITERALLY addicted to it
15:37 that’s my kind of bike ride 😂. I would ride my bike on that trail in a heartbeat 😂 nice, safe, flat trail!!!
Some mountain biking just looks like a DIY rollercoaster
How beautiful but difficult to come from the sunshine and into dark areas where the bridges are located .
I've been watching your videos for a while and I'm now obsessed... But I have a question... No merch?
It’s coming 😉
Nice ridding! The dh tracks look very nice :) 👍🏼
Thanks ✌️they are really great trails!
The research put into these videos is very thorough.
Got stoned and it took me a minute to realize you were speaking English 😂
Love that
So much fun. Thank you for taking us with you!!
OMG what a smoot control man.Nice I liked it.
Looks awesome! It's got everything .
Yep, hasn’t it just!
Thanks for the adventure, that looked like so much fun!
man those wooden features are gnarly !!
Crazy right?!
@10:14
What's the deal with that weird suspended winding metal bar there?
Also, what's the deal with all those cut-off trees there anyway?
0:50 When I first saw the tree with the sign, I thought it was missing a chunk from the middle and just floating there
i love mountian biking. Been doing it all the time here in America and we are going back to germany soon so its great to see this place and all the trails. Have heard of the bike park before and hope that I will get to riding it sometime. This looks right up my alley!
The first 20 seconds I was like... hey it looks like my homespot. Then I realized, it is my homespot :D
this video is so satisfying to watch 😂😂😜😜
Thanks - means I’m doing my job right 🤣
i love a track that has a rhythm to the turns and jumps, nice smooth rhythm.
looks sick definitely a new place to go on my bucket list! and also you got any news on the downhill bike you hinted at or you off that thought now?? much love keep it up
Check Vitus’s social media now 😉
Love your videos! Keep up the great work.

What’s that tripping looking zipline looking feature that snaked down the hill along side you on Black Line trail at the @12:30 mark??
This is sick I just have some questions.
How do you guys not slide out when taking a sharp turns on dirt?
If you do end up taking a bad spill, how do you get help? Like if you broke your arm or something.
That’s such a cool pov above the tire❤
0:56 Some soft treestumps to cushion your fall. Nice touch. 🤣
⛰ *Sick ride!* Love the woody paths toward the end of the video. Thank you for filming your rides and sharing; please keep making this awesome content!
_Btw, what are those fake-looking tree stumps sticking up around the __6:40__ marker?_
How do u even do this bro me watching you makes me scared I amazed how much confidence u have to attempt anything keep it up
I know this is crazy track itself. But your camera view and lens setting makes it hella looottttt scary!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
This guy is a savage on the trails
He be trail blazing woosh lol
Your crazy man! Nice riding! 🚲
This looks very fun and yet very scary to me ❤❤
And we have Baker Creek Preserve in my neck of the woods... jealous. This place is amazing 🤘
mbt pickup line, "are you a diamond track? bc ur hard to do" 😂😂😂😂
These make me so tense but I love watching them from your point of view. I have no idea how you can think so fast. Id be busy dying 100 different ways. Lol.
Lol - glad you enjoyed it, a lot of people think the same 😅 it’s definitely intense, and you do need to think fast!
These bikes have amazing durability. I can't believe they aren't just falling apart under you haha
What free wheel or hub are you using? Sounds insanely good. Those tracks look crazy especially the wooden features.
Holy shit, the new lines in Winterberg look AWESOME. Looks like I need to finally get some new brakes on my bike so I can run these with more confidence than I've done in the past.
The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.
super cool its very crazy
bro
I’m semi new to mountain biking, is your left lever your rear brake??
That’s correct! But some people run it the other way round - front brake - left, rear brake - right hand side
This looks so gnarly, I almost didn’t watch thinking it was gaming content lol 😅🤣
I life in Winterberg. Its never getting boring. But you cant imagine how much people land in the hospital after some trails.
You have to visit DirtMasters Festival in Winterberg.
You've been eyeing me all day and waiting for your move like a lion stalking a gazelle in a savannah.
This is actually incredible been seeing your videos for a while and I wanted to know what bike you use to travel these paths (maybe buying that one)
You made it look easy. Nice one mate.
Cool Vid
Put some Teflon tape underneath those lever perches, tighten but will still move when smashed and break less levers
Hadn't seen your sht before, watched the whole thing, really enjoyable my man. Idk why but really tired of MTB-pov stuff in general but this was nice. ✌
Stoked on this! Thanks for your feedback 🙏 trying to do things a little different
I was irrationally happy you put gloves on lol
Lol
Looks so fun! Good video too..what GoPro settings do you use?
Thanks, I use an Insta360 X3 camera for all
My videos - it’s this camera here www.insta360.com/sal/x3?insrc=INRBRJB
When I saw Wolfpack I thought I recognised the voice. I remember you and partner from riding at Hamsterly years ago.
Le set d'halloween est super joli 😍
Pour info, la maison éclairée avec la pièce secrète est actuellement à Jouéclub pour 99e 😉
Staying in one place is the best path to be taken over and surpassed by many.
Lift: full of stickers saying opens automatically
Bro: Still opens manually
i have done little mt biking but i have done enough to know that you must be in pretty amazing shape to do down that as many times as you did
I wish all kids had access to something like this. It would keep them out of trouble!
WOOW😍😍😍
I think I got skid burn just watching this!
you shred bro this was sick
Sir, I think you just peaked my interest for mountain biking!
I like how you have Shadow Wizard Money Gang playing in the background pretty much the whole time
Its like a rollercoaster without the tracks.
I grew up in the 60's with some trails that we rode on, but -nothing like these. I don't think the bikes we had then would have made it through some of these trails.
Wow, cool video, what kind of camera?
amazing video, the way u control the situation in some scenarios its like magic, 1 question tho How many bones have you broken so far XD?
