Riding a Bike down the most extreme Ski Slope- The Streif

Welcome guys to the official behind the scenes of my STRIVE project. I'm here at the start house in Kitzbühel. Underneath me the ski races are just about to start the race and well five days ago I've also been here with my bike. I dropped into the slope as well but just a little bit different in my own way. Let's go! Drop in! 3, 2, 1... So plan for this one, we didn't tell the people yet. We're in Kitzbühel at the STRIVE, legendary ski race. And this year we had the plan to make a whole video of me making the STRIVE my own playground. So we're at the first spot. It's actually the first spot of the video. So I kind of like forced myself to train a flat drop flip. For everyone out there who doesn't know, usually you have a ramp which gives you like pull for the rotation. But without the ramp you need to almost do a wheelie or a manual loop out and then try to get it around. It's really tricky as the bike is also heavy. I've trained it into foam pit. Not bad. If you would have done exactly what you did but like continued to commit to it you would get pretty close. Worked out really well. This is a bit of a different setup. Super hard snow. Almost icy. No spike tires for this one. So got the gear on. Bike here all set up. I've got the drop. What's the fence is for? The fence is down there and they have to stop me because I have no spike tires on so I probably won't be able to stop. It's scary. No. What's up? Sick dude. Sick thing. F*** that was sick. Yes. I'm thinking about how we started in Sweden. First jump in the books. Scary one but it worked out like a treat. So preparations everything. It was amazing. Yep. Cut. So I'm here with Frankie Zorn. He's an iSpeedway rider. As you can see he knows bikes really well. It's basically what he's doing for a living. So he's creating this for his motorcycles. So it was quite obvious for me to go to him and ask him if he can help me out creating a tire for my Strive project. You can't really just go somewhere and buy the tire. So everything you see here is handmade by Frankie. You? So every single screw is screwed in by hand and drilled through. So it's been taking Frankie I think six hours for just one tire to get it perfectly done. And we have a couple of sets as spare ones. So yesterday you didn't even see where you were supposed to land. This is actually the main race course. My plan was to jump over the whole slope the whole course. Got a nice setup of two jumps. We made a training jump for the big one. Landing is a bit mellow a bit flat. Sort of used to that now since yesterday. Let's see how it goes. Yeah, cut it open again. F**k. Is it through? Yeah, it's through. I've got a fender, but the fender is a s**t fender. Too soft. This is quite an impact. And then if your front wheel goes into the snow, it's bad. The plan is to lock it in by hand. Put some water over it and make the skis flat. Then the landing area should be solid. Then it's ready for tomorrow. We have cut-safe underpants. Are you really cutting now? Yeah, let's try it out. It ripped. So I try to figure out a way of how to make this a bit more safe. Push and bar. That's what it looks like. Yeah, that's sick. So, this is the idea of the other side. The photo has already been taken. Here is a double-sided underpants. Hey, we have a double-sided underpants, right? That's right, yes. Yeah, cool. Let's see. Starting the day off with a new fender. Looks good. Now we're going to test it. Good hold, huh? The landing is much harder. So it's more safe. You rode this drive too, right? Yeah, he's a legend. He did it first. Max is trying to help us out with a lot of things here. Because he knows how it feels. Is it harder to ride with spikes on the tires? It's totally different. Each spike you add is a lot of weight. If you turn something heavy really quick, it's harder to turn. The same with the bike. The landing was perfect. That's it. So, probably one of the biggest drops I've done so far. It's 22.3. Which is good. It's a solid start into the day. What's planned for the other half of the day? We've got an even bigger drop. What's up, everyone? Fabio is going to do one more on the small one. To measure some speed. So we've got a guy. Who's pretty good at doing maths. He helped us out. Calculating the speed for the jumps. Now we measured it. It was 46 km per hour. Just for the small one. Which I also think is a perfect speed. For the big one up there. Having high hopes, it's going to work. This is unique. This is loud. This is crazy. The frame you're about to see was designed by me. What do you think of the setup? It's big. Massive. The biggest fear and problem is always judging the speed right. Just throughout the jumps that he hit now. And where he would have landed with the same speed when he tried the Mäusefalle jump. The big send never ends. What do you think? I'm happy that I don't have to do this. I think that's sick. No, I don't think so. You have to say it. We'd have to know the best ratio. On the other hand, if you jump 5 meters up, often 7 meters are possible. If 7 meters are possible, 9 meters are possible. If 9 meters are possible, 12 meters are possible. I think this one fits. Ok, then let's do it. As you want. Dude, this one is going to be wild. What's funny sometimes is that you look around and think about how sick it would be to fly. Now I really want to know if this is really that sick. It's really hard. He's not going to jump over it. He's going to break his bone. The speed I had now was at least as sick. At least. That's for sure. The speed I had now was at least as sick. At least. How did it feel? It was so sick. How did it feel? It was so sick. Let's go! I had a good feeling for the speed. Especially when you're a bike rider you're used to having trees or something around. But here you really need to rely on a lot of data, which we measured before on other drops, on other jumps. And then try and rely a bit on your gut feeling as well. But it worked out perfectly. I prepared everything. For the race? Yes, for the race. We just filmed how you jumped in here with your bike. With my bike? Where did I jump in? Behind you. Where did I jump in? You jumped down from there and then jumped in here. With my bike? With your bike. We're putting everything already together with the music so we can already have a look and get a feeling for what we film. Let's see. Let's make a quick outfit check. Starting off with cut-proof underwear. Another cut-proof underwear. Heating socks. Protection pants. Knee pads. Final bottom part. Narnia pants. Next are seven layers. Narnia prototype. Narnia jersey. Here we go. This is by the way the new Narnia backpack. Super sick. It's going to be available soon. Hello. You haven't talked to the audience. What's your plan? Plan here? To do a wallride. Maybe some of you might know the legendary clip of Bode Miller. During the ski race he was so quick that he almost did sort of like a wallride. Thought it might be actually a cool thing to imitate him and to do the same with the bike. One of the craziest guys from Austria the Sea Dog. Maybe one of you guys have already seen his insane video or him participating in Rampage. Cardello from Austria. Here we go. Straight down this ridge. So much freaking gear. He's helping me with building all this crazy stuff. Big shoutout Clemens. Danke. Gerne wieder. Er geht jetzt richtig weit hoch. Das heißt? Er wird sehr schnell sein. Wahnsinn. Wie du sagst, von dem kannst du alles sagen. Und was... Was machen wir jetzt? Wir haben jetzt einen großen Wind. Halt die Fresse. Ich kann mich nicht erinnern, das Setup zu bestellen. Was ist die Idee hier? Ein Flip over machen. Also Minikicker. Also eher einen relativ weiten. Would you like to jump? No way. I'm not stupid. Fragst du mich? Das geht an, Robert. Das Ende nie. Lost volume. You will ski with him down the landing. Take the lead shot. Sonst hat es jetzt soweit, oder? Cam läuft. Na brutal. So good. So we've got a proper transportation for all the stuff. So there's Heli and he's helping us to move the stuff up and down because we've got all these wooden plates and they need to be at certain spots so they're helping us out everything by Heli which is quite crazy. Update, we jumped 29 meters which was okay, but the goal is definitely to go further. Hey, are you digging in? Are you on the surface? With all you got, do you serve it out till you're out of service? Or you can wait and see make bets on the lottery or jump in, teeth and skin grind it out with your whole damn body. How fast? 96. Alright guys. That was a proper project. Thank you guys, thank you for everyone who was involved in this. It's not just me making such a project possible there's so many people being involved in this. First of all, everyone from Kitzbühel who's involved in the race. Thank you guys for letting me ride this. Thank you Red Bull for making this dream of mine, long dream of mine possible. And yeah, thanks guys for watching. Stay tuned for more. It's gonna be hard to top this one. See ya. When the little things start to multiply you are there You're my satellite You're my loving star You're my lullaby
