Smith’s Finally Drops a Full-Face Helmet, and the Video Is Hilarious

Time and again, the bike industry proves that it has one of the greatest senses of humor. Whether it's Specialized with their bike release videos, or now Smith releasing their brand-new Mainline full-face helmet, they certainly get our attention. The helmet looks promising, with ultra-light construction and all the DH-level protection for rowdy riding you could ever need, but it’s Smith’s athlete roster that steals the show, featuring everyone from Jesse Melamed to Remi Gauvin to ALN shredding, hotboxing vans, and laying down the snark.

Scheidegger also held the record previously.  Scheidegger completed the record on a 400-meter running track, riding 77 laps on his rear wheel. In order for the record to count, he would have to start over if his front wheel touched the ground.

Remy Metailler Continues His Quest of Finding BC’s Gnarliest Rock Rolls

Fact: Rock rolls are gnarly. They’re even gnarlier when you’re talking about the ones hidden away in the woods of coastal British Columbia, where Remy Metailler’s is one a god-given quest to find the craziest possible thing to ride. We love watching the wild Frenchie tackle insanely steep and consequential lines on his mountain bike, but his latest video truly pushed the limit of his riding.
