WORLD'S FIRST MTB BACKFLIP TO FRONTFLIP CAVEMAN - THE STORY
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 02. 2021
- Many of you have already seen the Design & Conquer series that I spent last year producing with Red Bull, where I wored on worlds first tricks that have never been attempted on a mountain bike. The feedback on the whole series and the final edit has been nothing but rad, from inside and outside the MTB community. This is a much deeper insight into the story behind this tricks, that has never been attempted before, and I had no idea how difficult it would truly be to land this to dirt on my jump bike. Here's the story that took me from the skatepark, to my slopestyle compound and ended up on the full course down in Devon to get it done. Sorry again for the swearing!

Months of hard work in just 33 mins! We're damn proud of you for pulling this one off 🙌🔥
yo can i get a sponsor???
@@davidbullock8805 Me to
Matts Definitely one of your best ever riders! Also if they get a sponsor then il have one as well 🤣 professional sponsor for what I don’t know we will work that out in my contact 😉
oh its you again whats up lmao
Are Matt and Ben gay? They seem like they are.
Can we just take a moment to respect Matt's bike (and Matt) for dealing with every crash like a champ!!
and matt
@@carbinetzu7413 lol
A commercial for Marin, indeed it was ;)
And his back
Yep
Your work rate is an inspiration, I’m standing here, aged 35, getting emotional at a guy trying to land a trick on a mountain bike… legend
Hahaha.... yeah!! Im 44 and actually shed a tear of joy when he finally landed it!! xD
@@ChristianTornholmLehn Ditto and I'm in my 50's
Same here... Definitely shed a tear of joy at the end. What a team!
All I could think about was just holding my bike and jumping off my roof a few hundred times (not even trying a trick) .... taking that slam over and over. And ever time he slams, he still has to carry his bike and CLIMB back to the top....
337 times!!!!
Holy shit!!! The conditioning of this man, is insane... I'm 35, I spend "a day" at the bike park (more like half a day) and I'm completely destroyed for the next few days.. and I only wipe out a couple times...
He gets kicked in the teeth 337 times in a row, and kept smiling and trying.
I personally feel every needs a friend like Ben. All the supports he gives you is unreal and hypes you up so much. Respect to Matt for landing the trick 🙏
Damn that is soooo true, in times your trying to push yourself. A hype man can make all the difference. Much love
We can also all try to be a “Ben” type of friend at times
It’s so cool that you never give up on anything. Keep doing great stuff
Thank you!
@@MattJones OMG, YOU NOTICED ME
@@runebloemen6506 hahagagagagagahhahahahahahha
Yeah your awesome 😎👏❤️
Why aren’t you using ur new bike
Props to Ben. Such a good mate with his constant encouragement. Every tiny improvement met with a "YES OMG MATE!"
Idt people quite understand the complexity of this trick! I mean if you know physics, then you will have a better understanding. But just the fact that he's trying to stop forward momentum on a dime, yet have straight enough legs to allow fot the rotation of the bike alone is insane. Then as he let's the bike keep its forward momentum and to help twist the handles back to help gain momentum in the opposite direction, using the bikes momentum to also carry himself into a full rotation. It's quite beautiful when you really think about it! Tbh, I think the hardest bit was fighting physics on that log. Because there's a lot of force being exerted on his legs because he's not only catching his weight but trying to stop the enertia magnifies his weight. Once u understand that, and then understand what it's like to do that with bruised and exhausted legs. THEN AND ONLY THEN CAN YOU TRULY APPRECIATE THIS TRICK, AND HIS DETERMINATION AND PERSEVERANCE! Congrats Matt!
Came here to see a flip, saw it was almost 34 minutes. Ended watching it all, and really wanted it to happen. I'm not even interested in bikes lol. Great vid.
Never gave up. Looked like u had contusions at one point. This was beyond dedication. Very impressive you should be so proud of yourself matt!! 🙏
When you watch him do the backflip onto the logs so many times it almost starts to look easy then I remember I'm too scared to try a backflip into a foam pit and I realize again what a next level rider Matt is
The great thing is how supportive Ben Grist is, that is someone who really cares, keep up the good work
100 % so good a great mate
The company that makes his back wheel need never make an advert again.
Except that I don’t know who that is…
@@cduemig1 he rides for halo wheels
for real
@@marc7799 hahahha halo wheel you think this was madness you have to see pilgrim to understand how that damn wheel it's better than than the T1000 😆 🤣 😂
I don't know any brands of high end rear wheels but I immediately knew it was a Halo thanks to Sam Pilgrim. Funny
It’s so much more interesting to watch the effort put into one trick than the trick itself. From now on I will appreciate every edit I watch
Edit: . I know you probably won’t respond to this but I’d just like to let you guys know that on my channel I have uploaded a video that is a vote between you and Sam Pilgrim. It is just a friendly vote and I would just like you too check that video out it would really mean a lot. Also maybe you would like to tell your followers about this so they have the chance to vote as well!
Matt Jones: I’m going to to a backflip off a deck
A couple days later: I’m going to do a front flip off a deck now.
A couple months later: I’m going to do a backflip then a front flip off a deck
A couple of months later: now im gonna back flip and front flip in mid air off a deck.
The way he injures and hurts himself but still gets up and shakes himself off and goes back for another go.......this is way WAY beyond dedication he is an absolute athlete, much respect👌😎🙏👊🔥
If you want skills progression, broken down into 1000 component parts for the win - then Matt just aced a MasterClass ! Pretty much the most Impressive thing I've ever seen. Pure tenacity (&blood,toil,sweat&tears)
Never mind writing his name in sand, hes writing his name in cement. Matt jones is the most exciting channel on YT always got new content and new skills absolutly amazing
Absolutely agree!!!
Matt, I have to say how much I love you and your content! 😂 it’s kept me from going to some bad places and has inspired me too do some awesome stuff. Thank you mate!
that's so kind to say, thank you! Keep your chin up dude and focus on that awesome stuff
I agree-the dedication you have is so amazing!! ❤️👏
Yes
The persistence of this man is amazing. Well done Matt.
Dude!! Tears in my eyes at the ending as you just rolled away. So hyped that you got this after all the pain and punishment.
same. teared up and was actually fist pumping.
Amazing how you never gave up after being battered and bruised! Congrats on the worlds first!
This whole trick is going to be called worlds only ever
when all the flips are cut together like this, the battering is horrific. Kudos to Matt for his resilience and resolve.
Mindblowing trick, and I dont think I've ever seen a better advertisement for the strength of a frame and rear wheel.
anyone else love the fact moose was running towards matt every time he was landing the trick
Likely one of the last times we’ll see Moose around here, unfortunately :(
Why
@@Djs8b Matt and Rebecca aren't together anymore don't think
@@sambell4334 oh 👌
Mousse?
The red bull episodes of this were epic. I am loving these 'behind the scenes' training videos!
Hi bike and beyond
Hi Matt I saw your last video where you suggested an Alcatraz Give Away. Getting would mean the world. I have been following your channel since you only had 20k subs and have loved to see your progression. I have been stuck with a 2015 Specialized P.26 dirt jumper for almost 4 years, though I am getting to the point of a new bike. Marin seems to be the best dirt jumper at the moment and getting one from my favourite rider would be amazing, Cheers from Tay.
Geez Mate, Good Luck 🤞
Give the Man his frame!
How exciting for other people to see this! To watch him crash and crash and crash but to get up every time and try it again! He did his utmost best everytime he went out there and his hard work paid off. You go Matt. That was probably the coolest trick I've ever seen and to see the grueling process was inspiring! Congrats man, congrats🤩🤩
I saw this on a red bull Post, sick flip mate
Attempt 69 he finally spins for the front flip 😂
I know right !!
He knew he had to
attempt 420 he lands it
lol i saw that aswell
Nice
Matt and Ben and all those that helped - that's a massive achievement. Huge amount of work and effort went into that - total respect to you all. I actually cheered when you made it - that was a journey.
I'm a 44yr old man and attempt 144 had me screaming at the telly. Mr. Jones you are an amazing role model. You must make your parents so proud. Keep up the good work.
The amount of work that goes into these tricks is just insane. The perseverance, bravery and skill is just ridiculous. Love seeing these insights bts. So much respect for you Matt!
Yes never give up mate you will make history
This was absolutely eye opening and humbling to watch. Thank you for taking us along for the journey. You took a beating getting there and made legendary status because of it
That was unbelievable! Talk about never giving up to achieve your goal. Amazing effort Matt. Also big up to Ben & Jono for their amazing support & encouragement. Matt, you must be buzzing after that 🤟
Man, I’ve never seen anyone put this much work into doing a trick, you are a special person to be able to keep doing this. It does make me appreciate the final edit much more seeing all this work has gone into it.
It’s insane how Matt can just repeatedly crash super hard and never give up
I've been following Matt's 3 world's first journey and knew these tricks were hard and yet this video made this trick feel like the impossible trick it was..... MAD RESPECT!! Keep pushing the limits
'Giving up' does not seem to be in Matts dictionary!! Incredible Matt, amazing work.
Are we gonna see The Story of the Wall ride......so wanna see you landing that
I love how you never give up and are so determined to do a trick
I love bens constant enthusiasm he always manages to put a smile on my face and his laugh is hilarious
Not ignoring Matt obviously who has done an amazing job
So happy for you Matt and i love how supportive Ben is.
Seeing this single trick get planned and practiced was honestly more entertaining than a 34-minute video compilation of different tricks.
These are my favorite videos so far. We all see the final product and think "yeah that's cool" but these show the massive dedication that it takes to be at the top of the game. They also show that this stuff is actually really hard and needs to be worked on rather than come up with an idea and fluke a landing. Huge respect Matt. Well done.
You should be so proud of yourself, you’re resilience was outstanding. I’ve no doubt a very emotional journey with lots of pressure. I’ve also no doubt it couldn’t off been done without your friends and bro by your side. If you read this, I feel super proud of you. Cracking effort.
I have NEVER watched so many failed attempts with such enthusiasm and hope for a successful outcome. Just awesome!
Bro. This is incredible! I was cheering towards the end when you nearly had it.
So inspiring for all of us Matt!! 🙌
What a legend! This shows what it takes to have an extremely unique world first under your belt! I can’t wait for the next one, I know you’d have something in mind
I’ve been wincing throughout all of this series. I have no idea how both you or the bike survived all of those attempts but you stuck at it and got there in the end, and that’s just incredible. Legend 🤚🏼
This was the best 33 minutes of my life ! Absolute unit! 🔥🤟🏼
Congratulations matt 🤘🤘🤘🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Love design and create it’s so good love it great vid
Just started watching your content and loving it. Huge respect for pulling that trick off and great to see the process and support behind it
Dude. Congrats to that. This is so inspiring and incredible. Btw: also props to Ben who filmed this bts like an awesome documentary and pushed you with his crazy motivation ❤️❤️
0 Dislikes thus far... Probably the first video I've ever seen without A SINGLE ONE!!! Proof that perseverance pays off, this. Well done, Matt!
This is so inspirational, the way you never give up and keep going, Matt Jones keep up the good work bro.
I DID THE SAME MOTION BY PUTTING MY HAND ON MY HEAD CAUSE THAT IS SO IMPRESSIVE YOUR THE BEST MTB FREESTYLE RIDER EVER!
I have a new appreciation for the tricks you guys do. You make it look easy but in reality, it takes days and months.
You remained confident and determined that it was possible the whole time, and that sir is why you achieved your desired result. Very well done! 👏
Jesus I can’t even imagine trying something like that 337 times
What an absolute legend
This is just insane Matt!! I have so much respect for you and your persistence! Amazing!
I've never seen such dedication to learning anything in my life. If there was a prize for perseverance you'd be the gold medalist. WOW! It was amazing to see you finally land it and ride away. Congratulations!
33:37 and on the 337th attempt
Serious commitment, congratulations Matt
The editing on this one was really well done, smooth and helping the video along nicely. Great job Ben(?) or Matt or whoever.
One of the most amazing feelings is when you try something over and over again and can't land it, but then you go home and sleep and the next day you try the same trick first try it and clicks like you have been doing it for years. Its like your brain is continuing to process things even in your sleep.
Matt, you're a massive inspiration. Never say die, never give up (and still smiling) What a legend !!!!
Totally crazy
Man u just got my deepest respect and made me appreciate hard training athletes in this sport even more.
I loved this video and was hooked til the very last second xD
To see how much is possible if u train hard enough just makes me wanna ride my bike even more and get better step by step
Do twitch or CZcams livestreams! You guys are incredible funny and with a chat calling tricks and talking to each other the community would connect so much i think.
I was a downhiller and was never really into jumps/tricks other than drops and gaps and I can’t tell you how following you for a while Matt how unbelievably relatable you are!! You had me hooked even gasping at times when you bailed or took a tumble! You make it almost like watching your friend on the screen it’s so inspiring!
Congratulations!! Thanks Matt form sharing all your hard work with us!
Looking forward for the next one ☝️
That dog was like “HeY GuYS HowS IT GOiNg!😀”
I love how moose runs to Matt after every attempt
Matt, thanks for sharing this video. Anyone that has ridden any style of bike can appreciate how damn hard this really is. The amount of work you put in even on the first half of the trick that you have accomplished before just shows that its something not many would try! The second half is just wicked to even think of. Can't wait to see the full video cut of the Worlds Firsts Tricks!
So incredible Matt! Huge respect for that whole process - the amount of tries is immense!
THE “COVER PHOTO” ON REDBULLS CZcams! CONGRATS MAN.
yes!
This guy just follows me wherever I go 😅 I watch a FPV drone video, he's there. Now this too. Martin, never change 🤗
Matt dude I have literally no words for your mental drive. Absolute 1000 times respect for you mate
Wow, and here I thought Skateboarders have the highest Trick-Repetition-Till-You-Make-It-Endurance. This determination is nothing short of amazing and inspiring.
This is like watching 'Edge of Tomorrow'.
"On your feet, maggot!"
Watching his bike bounce off after every attempt is heartbreaking lmao.
Got completely swept up in this video the final few goes almost jumping up with excitement at how close you where to landing it , and when you finally nailed it, just amazing so stoked for you, next level riding.
So much pain in one single video this is crazy, you are crazy! But I so admire your persistence and perseverance, it's incredible, only discovered you so far but already a fan, well done!
I'm so confused about the timeline of this project
long and punctuated with bruises.
Basically a year bruv
It's actually all happening in the future
@_BOOGY_ give me evidence that Ben is in fact not a time traveling wizard.
@_BOOGY_ You serious?
Can we just appreciate how much that bike went through
I don't know if I've ever seen a more rewarding 30 minutes of YT video. You said you didn't talk to the camera much because you were so focused on getting the trick but you did a phenomenal job of engaging us and taking us on your journey. Well done mate!
You see an amazing trick and think, 'yeah, that took a lot of practice' but this video captures the sheer amount of effort that can go into doing something that's never been done before. It's just unbelievable the effort you put in! Also, it was really enlightening that even at your expert level, after you nailed part of the trick, you didn't necessarily 'have it on lock'. When I'm trying a trick or jump or something, I get frustrated when I have trouble with it again after feeling like I got it. It was really interesting to me that even once you mentally figured it out you still had attempts where you got worse for a bit before you got better. It's those sessions where you feel like you're regressing that it's easy to give up. I never expected literally hundreds of attempts to pull of this stunning trick. This vid tells the whole story!
So stoked for your success ... persistence, dedication, BIG BALLS (although I suspect a little bruised at times!), defiance and a great sense of humour. I love watching your journeys as you take an idea for a trick through to nailing it. Awesome stuff :)
First why did someone and only this one person disliked the video and secondly Matt succeeded to start a front flip on attempt 69 (nice)
He cheated on his fiancé
No respect for him anymore
24:30
Looks like Matt, speaks like Matt... Holy crap this was sooo confusing. I had no idea he had w twin :D
I'm 57 and that my boy is one of the best tricks I have ever seen congratulations you nailed it!
The sound of him landing each time. Gah. My ankles would be dust. Absolutely amazing.
3 dislikes must be accidental , I mean who could dislike this inspiration 🤙🤙
I am not gonna lie when I seen you put it together I was so into it I was screaming YES FFFUUUQQQQ YESSSS lol my wife woke up like WTF are you doing?? lol oops sorry babe
You had me cheering like my favourite football team scored a goal when you finally managed to do it. Insane bro
Honestly the best video you’ve put out Matt, you can see the passion and determination clear as day here! The emotion in you voice is catching! Big respect. 👌🏼🤘🏼
When's it dropping where all so excited
already dropped bro its on red bull bike channel i think
@@henrygoodwin202 he means the full edit
@@sethgardner8209 yh it has on redbull bike
@@herbiehill7884 Your very right sorry
When ur watching a Brendan Fairclof video and u see a new Matt Jones video
Fair well dogo
You’re a freak! Your skills, dedication, mindset - all freakish. So too is the brute strength of the Marin! Incredible effort. Congratulations Matt
This is beyond belief. Absolutely stunning. Enormous amount of hard work and pain. Result is EPIC!
