My 27 year old nephew sent me this video awhile back, he was looking to getting into mountain biking with me. He died in a wreck while driving his truck on April 26th 2020. This has been, and will be my favorite video on RUclips. We love and miss you Jacob Kirk, the next time I see you,, we are going for that EPIC RIDE IN THE SKY!
Here, here. This is a masterpiece. (The work with the drone is impeccable, and culminates so well with the riding skill, the awesome landscape and track, and the music) A masterpiece!👍
I'm 60yrs old man with many health issues who loves bikes. This is my favorite RUclips video ever. Make some more of these videos and keep us old has-beens smiling.
As an advice, if you want to see some more flowy/nice videos, type up in the search bar: Brandon semenuk(The guy in this video), or even Remy metailler, Bernard Kerr, Blake samson, for some more flowy edits
@ J. A. Bartolo: I'm a 62 year old man without any negative health issues who also really enjoyed this run down the hill. Thanks for 'checking in'! I think I'll send my next adventure video to you first. You seem like a nice person.
Love how casual and relaxed he seems to be while doing this run, aspect further emphasized by the chilled soundtrack. And the fact that it's all a single shot - this is just great! :)
@@salninethousand2496 Thanks for the tip - just rewatched it at the actual ("sped up") speed and I might have enjoyed it even more (love that YT is maintaining the sound pitch so even the sped up song doesn't sound like it's sung by chipmunks)! :)
This is one continuous shot people. And the fact that not everybody is talking about that is crazy. So much respect for making this happen. the troubles that they went through for that: unbelievable.
Person_with_a_camera I’ve just shot a short pop video in one shot and that was nothing comoared to this . All we had to contend with was people surfing in shot or dog walkers and bird watchers strolling into view
It probably wasn’t as troublesome as you think considering they’re drones that follow phones. Very cool video i would love to ride that mtn love the bike swap and jump off cliff right back into it
That's nothing. Can you imagine how much money and time and equipment it took to make that track ? Nice film but............ a shame they wrecked a beautiful part of nature.
landscapes And areas constantly change! Weather and natural occurring storms destroy vegetation and erode hills all the time....how do you think these mountains were formed? In the grand scheme of things I think this low level adaptation of our environment is more healthy and sustainable then most other ventures or hobbies! Most sports require you to completely destroy an area to build facilities! These structures could be demolished way faster then they were built
I'm not a free rider or even that good at mountain biking but this video brought absolute tears to my eyes... He rides that bike so artistically beautifully one of the most incredible videos I've ever seen
@@natebit7167 I thought the same. It looks great like this. Really peaceful. But at 1.25x speed, it looks way more realistic. The speed he's carrying for the jumps make a lot more sense when you watch it like that
@@bernadetteb176 Ha ha.... You just made me watch it again. I hadn't seen it for a while. The sound track is just perfect for it. Certainly deserves Video of the Year. So easy to get lost in it. Thanks. John from New Zealand :)
Me: 50 yr old been riding since 3. Watching this is great. You are in the zone for sure. It is a gift to see someone doing something they have mastered. Thank you. Love it!! Speed safely y'all.
No. Not legend. Legend has become myth and for two and half thousand years the freeride cyclist fell out of all memory. Until one day an unknown camera man came across him.
Thanks! I was in love with the strong California vibe, but couldn't place exactly where it was. I at first thought this was in the Diablo Range, but the shot of the Pacific in the background at the end killed that idea. My next thought was Big Sur, but that didn't seem right, either. I'm not as familiar with the southern portions of the coast, so I would never have guessed Cambria, and it would have driven me to distraction for days. So thanks!
The most amazing piece of art ever. This is definitely the best mountain biking video. The song, the jumps, the rider. It all just full perfectly into place. Great work. Hope to see another one
There's something special about this video. This is really unique and the best Mountain Bike video ever. It's so calming and at the same time so many skills, the fields, it's just wonderful.
A flawless sequence shot!... Do you see how satisfying is to follow a movement in a very smooth and nice camera float while hearing a catchy melody instead those saturated dubstep-style beats? Classy
It looks like he's floating the way he moves so smooth from each turn, jump and hill. This may sound weird but I find his riding so beautiful to watch.
Been a long time since I watched this and it is probably still the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. The Camera work is almost up there with the ride.
Too many comments!?!?.. This is my wife's favorite video by far!!... she's passed out now 'but' she still listens subconsciously! again & again.. Thank y'all... 'y'all', because she is from Arkansas, Thank you for all y'all did, filming,editing, uploading and sharing for the whole world to see and enjoy.. Thanks again!
There are many forms of self-expression. This young man has found his. The humble bicycle is his paint brush, and the landscape is the canvas. Beautiful to watch.
I watched this video 7yrs ago and I just now found it again such an awesome video. Excellent videographay love buffalo springfeild and the scenery is superb. What I would do to come ride on that track...it would be spectacular
Should have used some different music. Why have a song about people carrying signs blah blah blah over a video of a guy having a zen like experience on a quiet peaceful bike ride?
I could watch this over and over. Between the graceful ride, great camera work and the killer soundtrack, it’s very satisfying. Also, I love the casual way this dude just drops his first bike, grabs the second one and gently jumps off the cliff. Lol. Awesome!
Honestly as a filmmaker, this shot is SOOO hard to make... Just as a thought...I think that they used something like a cineflex heligimbal (yes that kind of gimbal) and a television zoom lens wich, depending on the type, can cost a fortune on its own... But this video is so good that you don't even notice whtas behind it.
I always come back to this and watch it and get the same feeling as watching it the first time. The flow the music the truck and I’m not even a Chevy guy. It all just comes together and sends it

@Nicholas Jackson Thank you, he was the type of person to make you laugh on your worst day ever.
@@ashjones5945 Thank you, I still can't believe he's gone.
The sad part is it took 4 years for RUclips to recommend this to me. Still pure gold.

wish I could like this a hundred times
Love how casual and relaxed he seems to be while doing this run, aspect further emphasized by the chilled soundtrack. And the fact that it's all a single shot - this is just great! :)
It's actually slowed down. "Normal" is 1.25 speed. Epic nonetheless.
@@salninethousand2496 Thanks for the tip - just rewatched it at the actual ("sped up") speed and I might have enjoyed it even more (love that YT is maintaining the sound pitch so even the sped up song doesn't sound like it's sung by chipmunks)! :)
I’d probably kill myself on the first jump….lol.
He was actually sick and didn't want to do the shoot so he did it all on the first take and then left.
@@salninethousand2496Yeah throwing it on 1.25 then pulling up the song on spotify was a complete different experience
This is one continuous shot people. And the fact that not everybody is talking about that is crazy.

That's not the only good part though, there are many other things for EVERYBODY to talk about.
Also a jump cut at the end eheheh
It probably wasn’t as troublesome as you think considering they’re drones that follow phones. Very cool video i would love to ride that mtn love the bike swap and jump off cliff right back into it
@@chuckmorris9550 its not about the drones, the fact that he stuck all those tricks in one continuous run is so amazing i cant even explain it.
Pulls up in $1000 truck and pulls out $2300 bike. Love those priorities!
Kyle Danner bike was definitely free haha
still worth something
That's nothing. Can you imagine how much money and time and equipment it took to make that track ?
Nice film but............
a shame they wrecked a beautiful part of nature.
do you think nature really cares about that strip of grass?
landscapes And areas constantly change! Weather and natural occurring storms destroy vegetation and erode hills all the time....how do you think these mountains were formed?

1000 years from now an archeologist will spend their entire career trying to explain this man-made trail.
“After decades of research we have come to the conclusion humans were much more badass back then”
“1000 years ago, humans used to make ramp like features in mountains to ride on with some sort of non electric mode of transportation for sport.”
@r laze it is! When you dont't see god in thus - you never will see him ☺️
@r laze Yes
1000 years from now it will have eroded away into Oblivion. That's dirt bro
I'm not a free rider or even that good at mountain biking but this video brought absolute tears to my eyes...
He rides that bike so artistically beautifully one of the most incredible videos I've ever seen
I’m not sure but I think it’s being played back slightly slower, so it looks more magestic
Yeah Brandon semenuk is one of the smoothest and most stylish riders in earth
@@natebit7167 I thought the same. It looks great like this. Really peaceful. But at 1.25x speed, it looks way more realistic. The speed he's carrying for the jumps make a lot more sense when you watch it like that
Hey, he's riding the trails at the Windows XP background!
Giants Fan underrated
Haha
Microsoft Motocross Madness
Almost , but thats Teletubby country actually.
LOL!!!!!
I'm in love with this video, shared it on WhatsApp groups, nobody cared, came back and continued watching on repeat. It's really therapeutic.
It is quite calming! So unbelievable!
@@ceneus1cebekus yeah, I feel it too, something very calming about it...
this video is just absolutly insane!!
When the best freerider, drone pilot, trail builder, landscape and music all come together!! EPIC!
whats is name music?

Mtb Trail Hub it’s not shot on a drone but on a car
Mtb Trail Hub ruclips.net/video/cSkd-0MyA_E/видео.html
Not drone, filmed from a pickup. Check the backstage
Lost count of the number of times I have come back to this. Poetry in motion. Simple as that. Cool sound track too.
I sometimes start my day with this... inspiring to say the least.
@@bernadetteb176 Ha ha.... You just made me watch it again. I hadn't seen it for a while. The sound track is just perfect for it. Certainly deserves Video of the Year. So easy to get lost in it. Thanks. John from New Zealand :)
The part where he just throws the bike off a cliff & jumps on it... Amazing film work too
The "filmwork" is the whole point of the video, ding dong.
There's always one of you...
It Is called a caveman/ninja drop lol its a bmx trick
What's bmx?

Bro i broke my neck watching this
Underrated comment.
The fact that this has 35 thumbs down just goes to show that some people don't deserve to have thumbs.
Matt , the people that give this brilliant video the thumbs down are just morons plain and " simple " .
The people who gave this video thumbs down had their phone upside down
How dare you deprive people of thumbs!
Matt Whisnant I thumbs down for the click bait, otherwise awesome vid

6 years later and this is still one of my favorite bike videos
One take, one camera, one track.
One boy two bikes. I want to see that movie
I was wondering the whole time if he did a warm up!?
Me: 50 yr old been riding since 3. Watching this is great. You are in the zone for sure. It is a gift to see someone doing something they have mastered.
Thank you. Love it!!
Speed safely y'all.
Legend has it that he never stopped and kept cycling forever...
No. Not legend. Legend has become myth and for two and half thousand years the freeride cyclist fell out of all memory. Until one day an unknown camera man came across him.
And a street was named after him.
He swapped bikes again right in front of me except this time it was MY bike!!!!!! What a jerk. LOL That's OK,, his is better than mine.
....and has been rarely spotted somewhere in the Antarctic.....
This meme is so stupid....legend has it, so are you.
Me, reading the video title: "BeSt MoUnTaIn BiKe ShOt EvEr"
Me, after watching the video: "Wow, that's the best mountain bike shot ever!"
But its stolen from unreal its not fair for the producers
@@unitforce7417 what do you mean it is stolen?
@@mountainbikeparadise4763 its originally uploaded by sony with the title unreal
Its a part of the unreal mbt movie
@@unitforce7417 oh, ok i didn't know, thx for telling me
This video, the picture, the music... it's so organic! All in one flow. Much respect to everybody that was involved in this. Mindblowing!
For whom who are interested(as I am), the place is Cambria, California.
Thanks man!!!
Definitely looks like Cali...
Thanks! I was in love with the strong California vibe, but couldn't place exactly where it was. I at first thought this was in the Diablo Range, but the shot of the Pacific in the background at the end killed that idea. My next thought was Big Sur, but that didn't seem right, either. I'm not as familiar with the southern portions of the coast, so I would never have guessed Cambria, and it would have driven me to distraction for days. So thanks!
Shit I thought it was Ireland
Can I ride there
2:17 I love how the song says "going down" as he's going down. I don't know if they did it on purpose, but it's really nice.
Un_Ikko probably on purpose because film makers do it because it looks better and more coordinate
9 years... and youtube just recommended this to me.
Got to applaud both the cyclist and the cameraman for 1 take shot!
He is not a cyclist! He is a freeride mountain biker.
of course there was a camera man
@@ChaseMader go on RUclips and look at self flying drone videos. Don’t think there’s a camera man lol
@@MrChives lol I forgot about those even tho I fly them all the time.

Thank you so much that’s why I was searching for in the comment 😂😂😂
@Roy Wilson chill the fuck down
Thanks
WTF!?! The song is so bad!!
The most amazing piece of art ever.
This is definitely the best mountain biking video.
The song, the jumps, the rider.
It all just full perfectly into place.
Great work.
Hope to see another one
This Video is PERFECT.

110% control of those bikes
Eltonno 88 What kind of music is this?
did you know the song
Harshvardhan Borade I wanted to know the name of the song.
This is the most amazing mtb video I've ever seen I can tell it was slowed down a little but still amazing I'm really stoked to go ride
Yea I noticed they were slowing the video to match the high notes in the song. It was very subtle though and, I actually liked it.
Max Petrone it actually wasn't slowed down also it is from a movie called Unreal
Jbob18 check out the behind the scenes movie the slowed it down a little bit ✌️
punctuation is a good tool
100% slowed a fraction
Pinnacle of video making: flowing slick action, super cool tune, filled 4 mins of my life beautifully.
That flat spin 360 was the dreams bruv! It's the flowest trick I ever seen.
Love how he casually picks up another bike and casually meanders off the cliff
That drop in was my favorite part; not even on the bike. He just holds the seat and jumps off the cliff, so cool.
Its called a caveman drop - such a sick move
lol
ninja drop
🍄
This guy is smooth and moves with grace. This video's so peaceful.
Worth two watches. The camera work is very very professional. The rider definitely has this track memorized.
There's something special about this video. This is really unique and the best Mountain Bike video ever. It's so calming and at the same time so many skills, the fields, it's just wonderful.
I searched for "relaxing bike videos"; I am not dissappointed a bit.
A flawless sequence shot!... Do you see how satisfying is to follow a movement in a very smooth and nice camera float while hearing a catchy melody instead those saturated dubstep-style beats? Classy
Absolutely every aspect of this video is golden.
It’s been 2 years and I’m still watching this video. Amazing video.
Idc what anyone says but this is one of the 5 best RUclips videos ever
Riding is on point
All done in one continuous shot
Music
*perfect*
What are the rest of the 4 ?
@@jamilsyeda6735 wondering the same
Well they also slowed his riding by 25%. Play this at 1:25 speed and it looks more natural
Personally prefer the ridge over this but to everyone their own
Definition of "smoooooth"
Ik I’m not the only person that has watched this 6 times now
yee bruh same
literally, it's just so nice to watch, so smooth
Try 10
6? I'm probably pushing 20. It's so soothing to watch!
Nope! I've done way more than 6 ;-)
Nice storytelling! What a beautiful area!
I'm falling more and more in Love with this master piece every time i watch it
Watching this was so relaxing
It looks like he's floating the way he moves so smooth from each turn, jump and hill. This may sound weird but I find his riding so beautiful to watch.
The footage actually slowed down
This is still the best action sports edit I’ve ever seen in terms of artistic expression. That shit is poetry in motion
Speaking from the past to the future here, how’s 2022 going for everyone!?
Anyone still using this dumb comment in 2020 for desperatly collecting likes?

Award winning piece if ever there were !
More than 7 years ago !!! But now a day this still in the Top of the best videos.
Simply one of the best things I have seen on RUclips!!!
Single shot. No cuts. Mesmerising marvelous awesome.. loved it !!
It's an animation
@@juandduartec read the video description

don't be dumb
I'm 64 and loved it cause of my love for riding bicycles, AWSOME vid!

Too many comments!?!?.. This is my wife's favorite video by far!!... she's passed out now 'but' she still listens subconsciously! again & again.. Thank y'all... 'y'all', because she is from Arkansas, Thank you for all y'all did, filming,editing, uploading and sharing for the whole world to see and enjoy.. Thanks again!
That was just sick. One of the best things I’ve seen this year.
Unbelievable talent.. I can only do a foot high jump.. But it still gives me a high.. Love the ride.. ♥️
This has one of my favorite videos for years. Just so smooth.
I feel like this video is under appreciated because most people click off when the first 5 seconds are just a guy sitting in a truck
This is so chill it feels like slo motion
It’s because it was slowed down slightly, play it on 1.25x speed and you’ll see that it looks more normal.
riding is incredibly clean and smooth, but is no one going to acknowledge how flawlessly shaped and perfectly cultivated the trail is?
Wow. This video was so well done. And it's timeless and never gets old!
A true artist, flow for days and control for years. The foot plant 360 And that bomb drop just stole the show. My man!!!!
everything is so smooth
I truly enjoyed this bit of perfection. Tip of the hat to all involved.
Been listening to that song the past weeks, it's used perfectly for that video! Love it.
Please tell me how a protest song pairs perfectly with a guy enjoying a peaceful ride through a beautiful piece of countryside?
There are many forms of self-expression. This young man has found his.
The humble bicycle is his paint brush, and the landscape is the canvas.
Beautiful to watch.
So fun!
One shot
One camera
One rider
*ONE BEST VIDEO EVER*
I’m gonna leave this comment here so that when ever someone likes it I can come back here
2021 and this is still the best mountain biking video ever.
Truly a gifted rider .. Great ride.!! Wish I could do this stuff looks like the definition of fun..
Anyone else remember when the comment section was filled with people talking about how it was slowed to 0.75 speed?
The riding is amazing. And kudos for the track design and location! Wow! Well done on all accounts 👍
I watched this video 7yrs ago and I just now found it again such an awesome video. Excellent videographay love buffalo springfeild and the scenery is superb. What I would do to come ride on that track...it would be spectacular
One of my favorite videos of all time! Such incredible ability to make it all look so smooth and easy. Unreal.
Everything in this video is awesome:-
The ridin,
The scenery,
The music....
What else?
Nature... XO
Brendon Semenuk
It's ok to come here every now and then
possibly the smoothest and best mtb vid i have ever watched the amount of work that went into that is insane
Dang that was so cool to watch and the music made it even better
Should have used some different music. Why have a song about people carrying signs blah blah blah over a video of a guy having a zen like experience on a quiet peaceful bike ride?
Brenden is so flown and that song is great
who is this brenden?
i do. his name is brandon not brenden. yes he's young but he's been doing it for years. dumbafucas for all. he won rampage in 2008.
You seem to be mixing tense.
Difficult to work out what you’re trying to say.
Jonathan Davies That's because he RIDES a HUFFY BITCH. BE SAFE AND RIDE A HUFFY BITCH.
Jonathan Davies your getting mixed up with the British biker Brendan fairclough, this guy is called Brandon semenuk and is from canada
So satysfying how he cleared just went perfectly in and out of every jump
I could watch this over and over. Between the graceful ride, great camera work and the killer soundtrack, it’s very satisfying. Also, I love the casual way this dude just drops his first bike, grabs the second one and gently jumps off the cliff. Lol. Awesome!
its so beautiful how easy he makes this look .
the trail looks so great
.5 mil...
Pbmx 968 que
It does. He makes it look SO easy. I would have died on that second jump.
Pbmx 968 CANT EVEN THINK OF A BETTER USE FOR THAT LAND.
Pbmx 968 PERFECT O.K. WISH I HAD A BACKYARD LIKE THIS.
So, obviously Seminuk is the G.O.A.T...
But I would love to see the trail builders get some recognition for this clip! That trail is a thing of beauty
He is as graceful as Federer on the tennis court. Poetry in motion. What a talent!
Honestly as a filmmaker, this shot is SOOO hard to make... Just as a thought...I think that they used something like a cineflex heligimbal (yes that kind of gimbal) and a television zoom lens wich, depending on the type, can cost a fortune on its own...

Inspire 2 dual operator. One flies and follows terrain the other keep gimbal on subject.

incredible.. basically its one take
Great video. Watch it with speed set to 1.25 on RUclips to get a feeling of the actual speed of that ride.
You're 100% right
how? how do we do that?
That moment at 2:36 literally had me in disbelief ! This was amazing ! Sending love your way !
the build up was worth it and the song fits amazingly, 6 years later and still amazing
No one watches this just once. I’m here daily 🤣
:edit, still here daily...
This is a masterpiece it is so smooth and cool admiring something that I can’t do
What are the exact coordinates for this location?
I always come back to this and watch it and get the same feeling as watching it the first time. The flow the music the truck and I’m not even a Chevy guy. It all just comes together and sends it
I can believe it. Props to the cameraman too. Film was as silky as the ride.
Drone
Amazing, would love to ride that trail...minus the insane jumps.
Gees I'm proud of lifting my front wheel up 15 centimeters😂👌🔥
There is so much that went into this, it's astounding. I love the transition from slope style to downhill, and that track is so sick.
