You two are wild! Glad Yoann got out of there relatively unscathed.

[remymetailler]

This video is gnarly! Can't wait to show it to you!

[WildBCPhoto]

You should stick with Squampage as a name. Anyhoo, hope Yoann is OK.

[markmacnab]

Your breakdown on the preparation, planning, risk identification, and strategies to manage the risk is a refreshing change from the 'just send it' crowd.
I really appreciate these insights as it makes the videos a learning tool for how to approach features at our limits. As well as entertainment of course!
I hope Yoann isn't too banged up!

also, I fully endorse baguettes as unit of measurement.

The classic duo of Remy and Yoann... bound to get themselves into trouble!

[jukka]

Thank you for showing the process of thinking the lines before riding and more importantly the nervousness of hitting it! It kind of gives comfort to me as a mere mortal and shaking on the lip of a 1 meter drop that also superstar riders get nervous on gnarly stuff. Looking forward to part 2 and happy to see that Yoann walked that off with just scratches!

"What's your concern about your concerns"
*crash* 😂😂😂

[oliverbourne]

Remy, Yoann and Steve's content is now the best most extreme professional MTB series films you can watch right now

[RickyDownhillRDH]

That stuff is just so big and gnarly. I can only imagine what it looks like in real life!! Glad Yoann is all good.

[jackg]

I love these guys at the top of each feature nervously laughing at how sketch they are and then proceeding to send every single one of them without hesitation. Must big crazy to be that confident in your abilities

[Coalgolem]

I once looked up "gnarly" in the Oxford Dictionary - and the only thing I could find was a pic of Remy. True story!

[gregcampbel]

this line is so crazy in person, the cameras really don't show how absolutely terrifying these features are up close.

[KRLinger]

11:35 the camera lens makes Rémy's bike look like the raddest teeny tiny balance bike

[markmcmurray]

The tension is real! I get a lot of value from the discussion before hitting the feature and seeing how you minimize the risks. It's never nice to crash, but it does happen. Glad that you called it a day and wishing Yoann a speedy recovery.

[ronx]

When Rémy and Yohann do something together, it's never half-a$$ed. Always sick, always scary. Glad Yohann is okay!

[Freeclimber]

I like the way you both think about the big crash and how important it is to take care of each other after this. Thanks for sharing this moment of friendship with us.

[petehoang]

These types of crash analysis videos are extremely valuable! It was great to hear you two talk through the processes of each feature and post-crash - also great to see Yoann's humility after the fact.

Love watching you two ride together!

[Daniel-gcqz]

you know you are crazy when you want to drop 12 baguette. Funniest duo. Keep up the great stuff and ride safe!

[colbyscott]

Remy, these videos are some of my favorite out there, right now. People only ever want to show the successful attempts, and cut all the video to make it look like they strung all the features together in one take. It's super refreshing (and really satisfying to my analytical personality) to see you analyze, talk through, explain, and do (several to many) runups before attempting it. Thanks so much!!!

PS - You all are in a completely different universe than I am but I can take your commentary and apply it to the little stuff that I try. My biggest drop was only probably about 8 feet; a blind-ish drop over a small boulder wall, to a nicely shaped runout. That was several years ago but I applied the same techniques you're using here. I probably did 4 or 5 runups to gauge speed, and used a stick as a marker where to put my wheels. It worked so well for me that I could tell if I wasn't going fast enough, and needed to put a little bunny hop on it. The only thing I wish I had done differently was to not be riding alone. ....though, that trail is a pretty well-travelled trail (easy ride around to the left) and didn't figure it would take too long for someone to find me. lol. Still, not the greatest idea.

I absolutely love the working relationship / friendship you two share. Your on screen chemistry is spot on. It is very inspiring. Also, the way you two look after each other on the trail exemplify what we all should look for in riding partners.
