Kirt Voreis rips

(But you already know that.)

When I imagine riding trails, this is what I look like.


Check out this Fox Head video of Kirt Voreis shredding NorCal on his Specialized Enduro.

Kirt clearly has an immense skills base. All the core stuff is dialed — plus he’s super creative and he’s having fun. What a clever way to sell riding gear (and bikes).

Of note:

0:31 – Jumping into a corner and using the heavy load to rail that sucker.

0:37 – Just a sweet transfer. Note how he folds the heaviness of the landing seamlessly into the corner.

0:42 – Big angles in the bermed right and flat left. Also a nice moto foot-out style.

1:05 – Tight, powerful side-to-side transitions. You can learn this on pavement. How to pump a flat surface

1:29 – Smooth pickup-to-semi-roll-semi-hop. This subtle move is a sure sign of BMX fu — and he blends it right in.

1:44 – Aggressive transition from manualing to sticking a corner. Watch the range of motion!

Yep. Rad.

Lately I’ve been watching New World Disorder 10 while I do intervals on the trainer. The whole video is pretty amazing, but my favorite section is Voreis rallying a trail bike. Check out NWD10.

    Lee if you haven’t checked out the new coastal crew video “from the inside out” – it’s worth the 9.99 download on iTunes just for the Stevie Smith footage. I only wish there was more of it.

    Amazing trail skills, laid down with enormous commitment, power, and elegance. Every time I watch it I come away shaking my head in disbelief. Just wow.

    Did you ever think anyone would use the term elegance to describe DH mountain biking? Give it a watch.

    Dude, I just watched From The Inside Out on the trainer.

    The whole movie is impressive, but to me — as a trail rider — the Stevie Smith segment is SO RAD. Commitment, power and elegance. For sure.
