This whole "Make Tom do crazy shit" series is the best thing Pinkbike has ever done.

I'm super impressed that you got as far as you did into the tech section with no brakes!

Poor Tom, it seems like he’s getting stiched up with all the sketchy and hard challenges 😂 good vid 😂

[FlatLander]

I'm not sure I've ever legit leaned in my chair when watching Go Pro footage...until now.

Tom’s screams of sheer excitement and fear are awesome! Love it

[skyla-idiot]

The best way to test this would be to cut the brake cables of their bike ;) instead of death grip it’s death wish

[Dan_Kornfeld]

I’d be wearing a loose wind proof jacket, zipping and unzipping it for a little parachute braking action! Keep doing what you do guys!

I rode A-line several years ago. Didn't realize you are supposed to jump all those bumps. We just slowly rolled over them. 😆 And I braked so much, I wore my brakes out. Nice to see how it's supposed to be done. 👍

Damn.

That punishment was brutal. 50km on road with a mountain bike? That's a whole new level of cruel and unusual torture.

[Mindess]

That's the craziest run I've seen of A-line. Honestly I don't count the first one where you HAD to break to avoid running in to him.

That's awesome and the dirt couldn't have been any more perfect. I love riding that trail but I knew there was no way in hell to do the lower tree section without brakes. Well done guys, made me laugh!!

[alexaanderlaing]

Toms a machine!!!! Love that Kiwi legend..

[pauldurkin]

Other than Matt Beer having the perfect name for DH, he’s a helluva rider, some solid Crankworks Whistler DH finishes!

[snbsmtb]

Great video Dudes!! And I'm really impressed that you two (Ok I guess Matt) made it to the bottom without using brakes (except the tech section)

[giulianotesta]

I foresee so e hospitalizations next season after you guys put this idea in the wild 😂

[thelulz]

The line should be one continuous shot with no edits

[thecakeisalie]

This was terrifying! My hands are sweaty!

[alexkamling]

When i hear Tom screaming i feel myself wanna pull the brake! This is so great! :)))

[peter_verduin]

This reminds me of my ride yesterday, I hit a 3 level rock garden on a downhill at like 15+ mph, I'm not kidding when I say that a bad line choice or slightly improper front-back balance, I would have died or been seriously injured. Didn't brake b/c I was at a 1000% grade. Might be exaggerating, but not by much.

That was one crazy fun video! I found myself cringing at times. Good you made it down in one piece! Or, well, two pieces maybe... 🤔😁👊💥🤙
