- Yo everyone, 2 days after the valleys we decided to go and shoot the hardline video. It's the scariest day of riding I've ever done. Do you think we should make this a new moto event?
Thanks for the support
love to you all, Jonny

MTB'er here just popping by to say that was mint! Seriously that looked even harder on the enduro than it did on a mtb bike. Incredible ride!
Yes, pretty sure he has to put in a lot of work to get this thing around those tight sections. Heads off.
bike was not set up for those massive drops too based on the amount of times he bottomed out, to finish the course with suspension like that is unbelievable
thanks bud
I ride both mountain bike and dirt bikes, definitely harder on a dirtbike on that course than a mountain bike. I would get seriously injured if I tried either one on the hard line course!
@@mjlfz1 tbf I'd kill myself walking down the thing, never mind riding down it! 😁
By far the best vlog I’ve seen. This should hit at least 1M views or RUclips programmers should start fixing their algorithm
most exciting 2 wheel content I've seen in a long time!
love the concept, love the execution, and huge respect and admiration for your full commitment Jonny Walker!
GEE ATHERTON is the man with steel balls who built this track and rode it on a downhill bicycle first
thanks mate
Riding the full track, absolutly respect!!!! 🏆 That's insane! ☝🏻💯 Next challenge riding the track in reverse with skipping some jumps... And next time bring Billy and lettenbichler with you 💪🏻💪🏻💯
That's the plan!
lol invite nitro circus along they will do it on mini bikes I bet
Muscling around a 240 lb bike on a course built for 30-40 lb bikes is insane. The skill and conditioning needed for it is off the charts. Very nicely done. Good luck as Erzberg this weekend.
Also love that you’re showing how far Beta’s have come and just how good they are now. Been loving what they’re doing with 2ts for years now. A 300rr will be my next bike and hopefully sooner rather than later.
Mtb guy here. I didn’t think this was possible on a moto. Mad lad. Subscribed
Been watching you for 10 yrs now and if ANYONE were to ever doubt your talent or that you are the best in all categories, all you have to do is show them this video. Freaking AWESOME!
Wow, thank you!
MAJOR props to you. Insane bike control dude. Saw the vid with Jono and couldn't believe how well you handled this. You're a G!!!!
Dude , that’s the scariest 😳 thing I’ve ever seen , Total Respect to You Jonny 🤜👏👏👏👏
thanks
Huge respect to you Jonny. That was just an epic ride fella. ❤
Johnny Walker is one hell of a rider , him n Grahm Jarvis battled it out many of times in their hard enduros, competition does'nt get much better than that 👍
and we will be back doing it this weekend at erzberg
Gauging the speed has to be difficult on a dirtbike. These courses are mostly designed with gravity in mind, not extra power available.
Killed it, Johnny! That was fantastic, just showing your mastery of the machine in those tight sections. Now go give Mani a run for his money in Erzberg!
mental stuff Jonny, i have been to RB HL and as an ex DH racer for me to think about this on my exc500 is the stuff of nightmares - most will never comprehend the place and the sheer fear it presents - there is no bucket big enough to fill with respect for what you did here.
thanks
@@JonnyWalker erzberg bud, it's your year 🕘👌👌
We now share the same nightmare as we share the same EXC model.
YEAH Jonny!! Thats Madness! Congratulations!
Absolutely Bonkers! This is the coolest thing I've seen in a very long time!
Probably the best YT video I’ve ever seen 😮
You are amazing Jonny🤟
I’m glad I’m meeting you again at Erzberg this weekend💪
Keep it up and good work
Thanks! 😃
See my two all time favourite Sport disciplines here done by one of the greatest enduro riders is completly nuts. Jonny you smashed it. Had a great time watching this video. You proofed yourself some guts man. Looking forward to see you at the Erzberg rodeo. All the best of luck!!!!
cheers bud
That was mad! Huge respect for getting that down those narrow rough sections, and hitting the drops - although not many would have made it that far.
As you guys know the hardest thing in motocross is to jump down hill you lot are legendary be careful but keep posting ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😂
No way! It's purely insane you were able to do that in general, and it just freaks me out how clean you jumped every section after just a few times rolling to the lip. And his corners! Wow! You were nailing all the course! This move was so epic! Huge respect! You just pushed bandaries in riding dirt bikes to the whole world with this line!
thanks I think a new sport has been born haha
@@JonnyWalker and a new whole wing in every hospital across the globe!
That was absolutely amazing, insane, but amazing , thanks so much for sharing that with us, I had a smile on my face all the way down.
thankyou
Jonny, you are an animal! I shit me pants from watching. Holy smokes! Best regards from Austria!
Johnny you are the man mate, Balls of steel.
Riding mountain bike trails on a dirt bike?! I always wondered if it was possible. The courses look so tight and suitable for very light and agile two wheelers. Very unique and original video!
My heart was in my mouth the whole time!! Really fantastic!
Proud of you Johnny,not bad for a midleage man😉It’s awsome to follow your RUclips channel,your my favorit rider. If youre ever in Norway,i got a private enduro track you can ride as much you want🤠🤙Good luck on rest of the season👏
You'd probably find that most pro downhillers wouldn't want to ride that, let alone someone from a different sport altogether!
I've said for years, as a dirt bike guy who has done some pretty gnarly stuff in the woods, motocross tracks, and the hills, that downhill MTB guys are certified badasses! There are a lot of things that I have done and would try to do as far as action sports go, but MTB isn't one of them. My utmost respect is given to those guys for doing the gnarliest stuff possible!
Why MTB isn't one of them? I fully agree that MTB guys are badass, but so are dirt bike guys, it's not like MTB is more dangerous, if anything it's the opposite.
@@pro_grapist I don't see how dirt biking is more dangerous than this. Enduro certainly isn't and once you get to know how to jump a specific MX track it's far safer than this crazy downhill course.
@@C_R_O_M________ Oh come on, dirt bikes are inherently more dangerous just because they are capable of much higher speeds, much faster acceleration, 10x weight of a mountain bike thus more inertia and possibly bigger consequences if it ends up on top of you. There's a reason why dirt bike helmets are bigger, thicker and heavier than downhill ones, or why mtb shoes are essentially just sneakers with some extra features and dirt bike boots are made from hard plastic with other very thick materials, weigh a ton and feels like leg casts.
Also, Hardline is one of the gnarliest things you can do on a mountain bike, it's only fair to compare it to the gnarliest things people do on dirt bikes, like stuff that FMX or freeride guys do, that Hardline road gap does not look that massive when compared to some of the jumps those guys do.
Knowing how to jump a specific track makes it relatively safer, but so does learning to ride and jump the Hardline or any other downhill course.
And you don't need Hardline level of crazy track to kill yourself on a dirt bike, any noob can just twist the throttle, get to 100km/h on winding forest road in few seconds and splatter himself into a tree.
I'm not trying to start a dirt bikes vs mtb argument here, I love both, but objectively speaking dirt bikes are more dangerous.
@@pro_grapist All the dirt bikers I know (and know a few including myself - many of them top racers) have fewer injuries than the crowd of downhill riders who are all broken from head to toe.
In fact my only severe injuries on two wheels came on a mountain bike.
Dirt bikes are faster but more predictable and the stats that suggest that more injuries are sustained on dirt bikes is from MX tracks which are indeed very dangerous.
Moreover, more people ride dirt bikes than attempt to ride the downhill craziness.
Hard enduro riders such as myself (an amateur) are focusing on very slow riding drills to improve technique and most injuries are minor.
Downhill is less predictable, you are more exposed to unpredictability than the average dirtbiker.
Downhill is by design dangerous and gnarly.
Dirt biking could become so but in most cases it's just isn't.
I mean, yesterday I watched the whole 4 hours of the Erzberg and didn't notice one single injury. A downhill race wouldn't be the same.
Even 2 time Ertzberg winner Jonny Walker, said that when he rode the hardline downhill track it was the scariest thing he ever did in his life. That should give you a good reference point for the comparison.
P.S. Dirt bikers wear boots because they could get into situations where a high boot could save your leg from puncture from a sticking branch, it protects you when the heavy bike lands on top of you whereas downhill riders can't wear those because they must pedal as well (which makes it even more crazy and dangerous).
We also wear better helmets because, yes, of higher speeds but also because of flinging rocks from the motorcycle in front of us. Of course, there are variants of dirt biking that are very dangerous but that's just a small portion of dirt biking. In comparison all downhill races are extremely dangerous.
@@C_R_O_M________ I think that if we are comparing the most dangerous discipline of mtb, we should compare it to most dangerous disciplines of dirt biking aswell. Yes, hard enduro is relatively safe because of slower speeds, but mx, sx, crosscountry/enduro are often very fast and dangerous. Hard enduro or just some average Joe trail riding should be compared to something like xc mtb riding, which is really not very dangerous at all, relatively speaking.
Johny Walker is a hard enduro rider, big jumps is not really his thing so it's understandable that it was scary, and yet came there and fucking smashed it on his dirt bike without many issues 😄
Also I disagree that dirt bikes are more predictable, having so much power at the rear wheel weird shit can happen, for example the rear wheel might lift off the ground going over a bump, land at a shitty angle with good traction and, if it's on too much throttle you can just get launched off the bike, stuff like that.
coolest video ever
Wow! That was impressive. So narrow and rocky, oh and trees! EeeeeeK. I watched Knighter do this some years ago but the course was a motorway compared to this. Well Jonny. Next surfing a big wave?
yes this track is something else, It was such a buzz
Jonny was the first rider who motivated me to buy enduro. Even though he had a period of bad luck and crashes, he is still one of my favorite riders along with Letti. I would really like to see him on the podium at the Erzbergrodeo 🍀🔥
Extra Baked Beans for you Jonny. That was fabulous.
This was WAAAAY sketchier to watch than I expected - congrats on making it down safely (and so quickly!!!)
Epic JW full respect for not only doing it but doing the time you did awsome.
So insane and cool! Now that a dirtbike has done it , wonder if they'll make dirtbikes on it an official event moving forward? That'd be really cool as well
il try haha
I’ve ALWAYS wondered what this would be like, treating a dirt bike more like a mountain bike, even with the power it’s gotta be so hard to flick that thing around and be as nimble as something nearly 1/10th the weight
It is slower to tip side to side for sure. And you don't have nearly as much rear brake control with a boot and your foot.
But the longer wheelbase is probably the toughest thing to deal with on the tight berm turns. Like doing a U turn with a limo vs. a Civic
Back next year to do the river gap? 🤔😂
Bloody awesome job fella, the extra weight of your bike when your faced with a corner shortly after a landing worked out for the weight of an mtb must have been a bit of a mind fvck. At least Matt didn't get you to go and try that bloody new river gap mind!!!
haha that would be mad
I just watched it again...now that I think about it. Even in my prime I don't think I'd even try that downhill trail system on a mountain bike. Jonny Walker is one hell of a rider!
Sooo awesome Jonny. I love this whole concept of the dirt bike on the downhill track, and you killed it. I was so excited to see this when the video came up on Red Bull. I really enjoyed the video years ago with Knighter and Gee going head to head.
Get Johnny and the bolt to race up it 😂😂wicked as always lads 👍👍
we need 15 other racers too
Epic. Great collab and giving hard enduro the press it deserves
Proper flick this . Fair play to ya 🙏
Never thought you'd do the technical bits aswell. Very impressed!
And a million screens exploded from "THIS IS A MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL!!!! YOU CAN'T BE HERE!!!" screech... Well done Jonny!
Those who don't recognize the hardline course have no idea about the sport anyways,so just gotta ignore them
Great video Jonny - one of, if not, the best I've seen.
One slip on the brakes and you've broken 5 bones. Unbelievable.
haha and the rest, the track is savage
SO RAD!!!! JW22 you are Legendary bro!! Best MTB MOTO Collab ever!!!
That was terrifying to watch at times, Walker is a beast, fantastic!!!
105kg bike,90kg man,250kg nutsack! Seriously impressive good luck this season.see you in erzberg 👍
Haha this is my favourite comment
brilliant
Insane. You bloody legend.
Johnny that was ace, fair balls on ya! 💪💪🏁🏁
Probably your best video so far ngl that was epic 😎
Did we just witness a new sport being born. Down hill MX
I think we did yes
Sick Jonny, although every time I ride my local downhill track on the 300 they don't talk to me as well as your mates did haha
Another mtb rider with nothing but admiration. Awesome jonny absolutely awesome. New subscriber 😊
MTB guys just using him to buff the gnar.
could be my new job
Mtb and hardenduro guy here, you did it Just mint 💯🍝👌. Insane speed with that heavy bike in compare to the DH guys. Just nuts... Hope you get allowed one Day the Uphill Version 😂❤. Was the kyb Suspension in OEM Setup/shims etc oder extra tuned for the Event?
Did you have to do a pivot turn to turn back around on the road gap ramp? Because I think I would be stuck there, lol
haha yes it was literally as wide as my bike
@@JonnyWalker The thought gives me the chills already!
Geez! My nerves were shot just watching it on RUclips...I kept thinking the momentum of the dirt bike was going to be too much for the brakes. WOW! You sure do put a lot of space between my riding and what's possible. Just when I thought I could ride...lol.
Didn’t even cross my mind how big of a difference this would be. Even to my novice eyes it’s evident how hard this is, and how skillfully you tackled and nailed it 👏
Absolutely insane. Massive respect to you and the down- hillers. That course took some big kahunas. Best Vlog on RUclips at the mo by a country mile. Red Bull keep on pushing athletes to there limits. 👊
🙌✌️
Crazy ride! Awasome video! Bravo!💪🙏
What’s the calculation for weight difference ? Lol moto is 5 times heavier and add engine gyro ✊😵 dead nuts downhill insanity one of my fav jumps was only 50 ft downhill 🤔
Holy crap Jonny that was mental, definitely showed why you’re a redbull athlete
Awesome Jonny 😮 I'd ride in a 1000 times to the road gap 🤣 your talent through the whole course shined 👍
You're invited to Hardline and you rode it on crosser 😯 respect and utter class.
As a DH mtber and a Beta 300rr owner I can say that this is insane. I am shocked you got your suspension set up so well to manage that course. Also wondering if you adjusted your rear break since you were going down hill so much to be higher up?
That was awesome. Please don't ever do something like this again. lol. Too scary.
That was RAD. I'd feel more comfortable on my dirt bike than my mountain bike on that.
Dude, intense. I can’t believe how fast you were taking some of those extremely tight sections.
You think a new annual moto hardline is doable?
Jonny you need to get on the stark for this event. So much easier with no gears !!! And twist and pull
Felt like I'd seen God moment. Super impressive Johny!!!
Well done Jonny... From Yellow 13 Bike Breakers
I would like to see the landings be temporarily modified so he could run UP the course !! Nice job ,sweet shots.
Wild man. Surprised you managed to even ride your bike with balls that size. 😮
Would be cool to see a bunch of split times on that course compared to some of the MTBer's times.
Johnny you are such an awesome talented rider.
You amaze me every time you get on the bike. Best of all you seem to be one of the most down to earth guys. Killer ride bud 🤘🤘🤘🤘
race the rest from the bottom to the top....you will top the podium....that is awesome on a bike that weighs almost 230 lbs more than theirs.
Why would anyone want to ride a mtb ? You can do this shit and more, plus ride back um on a dirtbike ? Makes no sense to me how people spend the money and time to only go down a hill 🤷♂️
the thing about that big drop is the runout requires you to maintain control. It's not a big open treeless field where if you get off track you won't crash into anything
Mad Respect to you Johny! Wow!
Awesome video, reminded me a bit of a Danny Macaskill video at times, insane riding and great camera work.
You raised the bar bro.. not many enduro boys doing this ... Some hardcore business for sure.. your a machine mate
Farout doing that on a chunky motor bike is crazy
Absolute champ, what a talent 💯👍
Way to represent Johnny!! Now race those guys back up! lol.
Totally insane! I'm watching on a sofa and my heart rate was pegged.
Perfect drive Johnny😉🔥🔥
Holy crap, that was impressive, that's no joke on mtb either
Wow the jumps are nutz!!
Now let's see the MTB guy ride the Erzberg Rodeo.
You have to have a hudge balllsssss to do that, Jonny you are crazzzzzzyyyyyyyy hahahahhaha
You guys are highly skilled bad ass riders with a ton of courage I salute you
Fair play Jonny, that looks f***ing scary
Loved it. Wish we could have heard a little more of that 2 smoker audio though 😊
Top respect for this, it absolutely looks scary as f£$%.
Didn’t think you’d be anywhere near the top times so well done lad 👊
Love it! Now; who's fastest going back up!?
Jonny, you seem to have missed out the cannon jump 😢
