I had no idea he would shred like that on a rental E Bike at 58 years old!

What a day. Meeting Remy, riding some gnarly trails with him and getting some merch on top.
Mad respect
So stoked for you! It was awesome to watch. An inspiration for me now, for sure.
This was very inspiring to watch. Being on the wrong side of 40 this has inspired me to get stronger. Cheers matey
Yes it was memorable👍
Respect...keep sending!
This guy is the only positive and wholesome definition of “age is just a number” on the entire internet 😂🔥💯💪
Thanks🙌
Nick is a Legend here in Sydney, one of the nicest guys you will meet and rides like a bowling ball going down the hill! Proud to call him a mate
Ummm .. like a bowling ball! Unfortunately I think you are right 🤣🤣 Thanks mate👍
As a 67 year old Aussie that still rides an analogue MTB, I can vouch for the fact that you can keep riding at any age. Very inspirational video @remy. Great content and a wonderful contribution to the world of health and fitness. Thanks mate!
As a 50-something rider, this is truly inspiring. And Remy’s genuine respect for Nick and joy in watching him ride speaks volumes about who Remy is.
Truth
Man, as a 53 year old, this gives me hope I'll be doing this for a while 🙂
Amen, brother!!
Great video - and good to see all the 'old guys' commenting... it's nice to know I've got company! 66 and still getting better, love this game.
Thanks Richard; yeah its great to see so many oldies loving riding
Us 50 year olds can shred. Age is just a number.
Nick had an amazing experience, meeting/riding with Remy, Nick was stoked for days - it was the highlight of our 🚵♂️🚵♀️ holiday. Thanks again to Remy, giving Nick some awesome memories - very cool guy 👍
Hey Curly , I never see you doing any track work with us. About the most lifting seen you ever do. Good to see my inspiration and guidance payed off. I liked how you waited for Remy, such a caring bloke!
I am 58 years old and just broke my collarbone mountainbiking again (for the fifth time). I am nowhere as good as Nick here and I never was or will be. But it's a great inspiration to see the two of you riding trails I wouldn't evn walk or climb.
Heal up fella! Thanks for the kind words👍
I’m 52. Still ride as hard as I can as often as I can!! Knee replacement coming in September and I’m hoping to get even more time after that. There are many of us that plan to ride hard for many years to come! I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon!! Old dudes can shred too!!
get it BOII! 🤘
65, got a tkr 1 1/2 years ago; pedaling is the ez part! Split my rides between an e bike & pedal bike. Hit that range of motion hard in your rehab & you'll be laughing on the bike!!!
@@billyfarwig7387 whats the range of motion restriction like, feelingwise? is it pain restricting the range or something else? probably gonna have to get a tkr and thr in 10 to 15 yrs..
@@daliks scar tissue, they say by 8 weeks the rom you have is what you’ll get: after 8 or 9 weeks it’s really difficult & painful to break thru that tissue. So get on the rom exercises right away and do them multiple times a day for those 8 weeks. It’s not ez but so worth it later!
I'm 56 and feel like I'm riding better than I've ever ridden in my entire mtb life (started mtb'ing in 1986 - earlier if you consider riding 10 speed road bikes on dirt bike trails in the late 70's). While I do chicken out on the huge leaps (I need my day job!), I like nothing better than side-hits, drops, medium jump lines, and real technical sketchy terrain. The thing that really pisses me off is: Why did bikes have to only get REALLY GOOD in the last few years?!?!?!? Bikes of the last 4-5 years are so much better by leaps and bounds than what we came up on......Great to see you feature that guy - as us old guys still have a lot left in the tank, as the sands of the hourglass run faster every year....
Thanks mate, I feel I'm riding my best. At least we get to experience the better bikes and ebikes were a game changer for me; allowed me to enjoy my riding so much more.
Nate Shreds 🔥. He is now Sponsored by Specialized and moving to Squamish to show 18 year olds how it’s done 😂🤘
This was Epic. I’ll be 58 in November, no slowing down in the near future for me either. Nick if you’re ever in So California, hit me up, we got steeps and sendy bike 27:09 parks that you’d love . Remy, likewise 👊👊🔥🔥🔥
Stay fit people, we can do this hard, fast and big for years 💯🫶
Thanks mate, I'll take you up on that if I'm over there👍.
Wow Mate!!! That man is something else. Imagine him at 20 and crazy....world champion. Bravo.
This Nick guy is probably SO STOKED!
Most definitely😂😂. Meeting and then getting to ride with Remy on some amazing trails- just awesome.
Looks like 58 is the new 18. What a machine!
Good on him!!! I'm 63 and love the mind set and the rush hitting the jumps. I ride alot in California in Pacifica on XXX pretty daring run but fun as hell!!!!!
That rush keeps us young😂
Yeah Nick, I MTB at 60, thought I was above average rider.After watching you I feel inadequate.peace and stay safe guys.
As long as you are out there having a crack and enjoying yourself👍👍
What an absolute mad dog! I'm 45 and am just blown away, super inspired to keep pushing. So cool for Nick to get such epic footage on holiday that he may never have gotten otherwise. Instant fan from New Zealand 🤘😎🤘
Thanks mate, yes it was an epic holiday!
Very inspiring video Remy. As a 58 YO rider myself I was delighted to see you highlighting the skills and efforts of an older rider the way you did. he was doing a fantastic job and took on challenges that I have yet to conquer myself. The important part is that you both showed that Mountain biking can be enjoyed to the fullest by all ages.
Cheers to you both!
Thanks Jamie🙏. That's it - just have to get out there!
Shared!
As a 63 yr old and still active, videos like this continue to keep me fired up. Thx Remy, for posting!
Even thought he is 58, he’s an Australian so that means nothing to him, amazing what so few people can do that even past 45 🔥💯💪
Being 52, I really appreciate that you push older riders! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 These trails are steep a fûque! 😮😮😮
I began MTB with 58 in 2021. I hope I can ride like him when I`m turning 70.
What an amazing Shredder !!!!!! 100 % Respect !!!! Thanks Remy for taking the effort in making videos so entertaining and enjoyable every moment of it.... Ride Safe !!!!!
Glad you enjoy it!
Way to represent us old folks nick!! I'm 57 and shredding more now than when i was 27!!! KEEP RIPPING MATE!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks James😁. Yeah I feel I'm riding better than when I was younger: maybe I'm just a slow learner...🤣🤣
Thanks Remy and Nick. That would be my favourite of all of your videos Remy. Nick is such a great character (and a great shredder), but the respect you showed for each other and the enjoyment that you clearly got from riding together was what made this epic. Some of your banter made me laugh out loud - "they must be too big!" 😂
Cheers David👍It was an awesome day with Remi; he is an amazing guy.
Remy thanks so much for finding so many different people to ride with. You've shown us people of different ages and abilities and how anyone can shred and everyone can enjoy shredding. Thanks again.
Agreed 100%
One of the most inspiring things that consistently comes from this channel is the amazing diversity of people shredding from all walks of life. Love it.
Awesome seeing you riding with guest riders young and not so young.
What a rider! For any age!
Thanks!
The man brings strength, mobility, and excellent technique to the game, Most importantly, he checks his ego and plays it safe when needed.Big respect!
Thank you👍
Great video again, showing off the very young and old. As a another Aussie at 64 year I love steep tech trails and still learning.
The sketch and loose Aussie trails definitely helped when I got to Squamish!
WOW! This both amazing and inspiring.
I just started riding, 48, and I imagine Nick already has decades of experience under his belt, but if I'm even remotely close and able to ride at that level in 10 years, I'll be happy. 👌
It's brilliant that you did this for a fan of the channel. Creating lasting memories!
I bet he couldn't wait to get home and tell all his school mates. 😆
Yes mate; I was stoked for days😁😁
Inspirational and uplifting, I met a 72 year old mountain biking, couldn't believe it, it was cross country tailored flow trails but shows aging doesn't have to mean giving up biking in nature
I like when you involve riders from different than "pro" category in your videos. Enjoyed this one much!
I did not really start mountain biking until my mid 40's and now as I get closer to 50, it is nice to reaffirm that I can still be shredding for at least another decade and beyond!
Awesome...just turned 50 and Nick makes me have hope I can still send it till 99. Nice Job Nick...your my new hero!!!
Thanks George👍. Keep learning and keep sending it!
Such awesome advice from this Ozzie. I’m 50 and struggling with bike fitness and injuries. Thanks I know what to do now. The crazy Frenchman and this legend were on fire!
Thank you!
58 years young. Perfect example of keeping fit and riding a lot.
Thank you🙏
@@Nick_Somlife thank you too. I’m 52 and you’ve inspired me to ride more again, longevity on the bikes definitely keeps us young.
At 53 myself this is such an inspirational video :) Thanks for taking the time to share this experience with him Remy - a top fellow Aussie bloke!!
I saw 27 minutes and almost skipped. However, whenever I do watch your longer vids they never disappoint. Mate, that was awesome! There was no letting up there at all for Nick during this entire video. Mad props to him for just smashing everything. I'm 52 and find myself riding with guys ranging from mid 20's to late 30's. Shoot...when you're out there having FUN who gives a flying F how old you are?! I just love MTB.
Thanks! Yes there wasn't any let up on those trails. I was out of gas by the end for the ride! Mtb is the best👌
Much respect!!! I would be happy to ride like Nick at any age 😅 those jumps 😱😱😱
Thanks🙏
Loved this! Nick your helluva rider mate👊 Remy rode with a very young kid in a previous video, and now this one, what a contrast, but the outcome is still the same - getting stoked regardless of age! Me, 53, still racing and riding, getting stoked👍
Thanks Craig👍 I think we appreciate the stoke more as we get older 😊
WOW he's killing it! 👏👏 I'm 52 and still only keep getting better. I have wondered how/if I'll be riding when I'm in that 58 to 60 range. This just go me hyped. AWESOME Remy!
Thanks! Riding with Remy has that effect!
@@Nick_Somlife Outstanding Nick! I'd love to get to ride with Remy one day! 🤙
🎉 Respect Nick 🎉 🎉 Yes, and respect Remy for showing that it’s all about the head and the heart not the age🎉
There’s a lot of good older shredders out there who’ve ridden for decades and recently discovered and progressed at Bike Parks. We didn’t have Bike Parks and the tracks that have arisen from them when we were your age Remy - although in my area Peaty was building awesome stuff back in the day and hasn’t stopped supporting that (Steel City etc). I ride with a 59 year old who shreds like this and was chatting to a fella at the Atherton’s Dyfi Bike Park recently in the U.K. who was shredding everything on his DH rig - didn’t ask his age as it’s not relevant… But he looked as old as me and I’m 67 and shredding happily.
Just one thing, we break more easily. Not sure why, but maybe not being quite so cat-like and strong in the upper arms these days (I’m currently nursing 8 # ribs and a clavicle won at BPW in Wales 😅😅😅).
Thanks mate! Yes the stoke is real at any age👍
That guy makes me look forward to many more years of mountain biking to come
Good on you, thanks👍
WOw!! So impressive! Everyone in their 50's....and 60's....watching this is all of a sudden extra hopeful....EXTRA excited to hit the trails this weekend haha.
Go and enjoy; I never thought I would end up riding with Remy!
Super rad to be shredding with Remy!!! Even more rad to be shredding like that at 58!!
Thanks; yes it was an amazing ride with an awesome guy.
I'm 56, been riding mountain bikes for 40 years! That's a lot of experience. There is no reason given good health that we 50's riders can't still shred.
So true👍
57 here and still riding anything and everything. Scottish Highlands, so plenty places to spread your wings. Big thumbs up to the 16 stone Aussie who is still up there with the best.
@@pungarehu Thanks mate and good on you👍
Nick was awesome. Thanks Remy for thinking of us old guys :)
Thanks👍
I met an 84 yo man on the mtb trail once. I am 54 now so hopefully I can still ride in my 70/80! Thanks for the awesome content Remy!
So bloody good Nicko !!! Dream day riding over in BC with the GOAT 🤘
Bloody awesome alright👏
Nick is a absolute sender! Have had the privilege of meeting him a couple of times on the trails in Sydney. Sick video 🤘🏻 I hope to be riding till 58
That rental bike saw more action in one day than it probably has to date! 😁
I rode at Squamish for the first time a week or so ago and didn't go near any of the harder tech trails. If I could even ride like that now I would be happy, let alone at 58. This is so inspirational to see.
Thanks Steve! Hehe 3 bent cranks over the 2 times I hired it😁 Specialized Squamish were great though. How good is Squamish!
What a Hero. I'm in my mid 40s and starting to feel old, as my Kids begin to outride me. Watching you ride and reading the comments here is truly inspirational and encouraging. Thank you for uploading
Thanks mate🙏 I do feel old if I'm on an acoustic and pedalling a lot with the young ones (ok if shuttle or uplift) - the ebike was a game changer for me.
That was Amazing. Gnarly as hell. Sick riding. Even in the video looks steep.
Thanks Victor - it was gnarly👍
Thank you Remy! love this video. Pretty inspirational to se a 58 years old dude sending and shreding every inch of trail.
I'll be 49 next month and just got into the emtb crowd. It was so fun i outdid myself and did 60 miles of trail the first wkend i got it(just bought the trek rail 7) . I was exhausted yet still wanted to ride. You Nick are the absolute picture of age is only a number. Cheers to you for the inspiration!!
Thank you🙏 and well done!
This is beyond inspiring in so many ways. It makes me stoked to think that I might still have another 20 years of rad riding left - and also, it’s just rad to see how you interact with the people in your community just to bless them. Right on Remy - you make it easy to be a fan. 👍🏼
Thank you - and yes Remy is not just a great content producer but also a great guy.
😲👌🏻That was some real fine trail shredding to watch, impressive performance from mister Aussie there, he didn't mess up not even once and on such a long video too🫡,what a true downhiller from head to toe!And the trails couldn't be more challenging,amazing gaps, delicious wooden structures, demanding inclination on the trails, Canada's BC trails are so fantastic, I'm so anxious to go all the way there from Europe in order to do both extensive and intensive riding 😩👋🏻👍🏻🇵🇹🙋🏻♂️.
Man he was so inspirational I'm going to turn 50 next year and he made me feel like you can ride for as long as you want, just stay fit and you can ride and not just holding on and hoping for the best. You can shred at 58 mam what a Ripper, thank you for being open minded and not over judging him on the rental while and his age, you have made a mate for life.
Thank you 🙏
Top drawer Remy seems to be the only professional that really respects us older gen shredders. The way he understands that the casual drop for the younger group is a goal set for us older gen astonish me. Always looking forward to Remy’s footage. Not to mention Remy skill set is matched by few. Carry On !!!! 💯💪💪💯💯💪💵💵
Yes mate, he is a special person to go with those amazing bike skills.
Wow! I’m 59 and started eMTB 2 years ago and love it. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do these kinds of jumps but loving this sport regardless. Definitely a bit more engaging than road bike riding… 😄
Good on you, yes mtb is a lot of fun
I think it's awesome that you rode with a fan. It's awesome to see that in this community age doesn't matter it's really all up to your abilities and skill level.
That was an awesome video. Inspiring to watch. I just turned 54 and have been riding a HT. I just sold it so I can by a full suspension. I"m picking it up today and can't wait to ride it. Very true what was said in the video, stay in the gym. It does help keep you young
Thanks Reggie; yes the full sussers are a bit more comfortable than the HT.
Very inspiring video. Age is just a number. Young at heart. To any one out there in their 40's contemplating...Let's Ride Again.
Thanks👍
You are welcome Nick I wish all the best for every ride you go.
The Australian signature of feet down to curve is just amazing, is so classy man !
I want to be this good at 58, such a good rider! Another great addition to the channel.
Nice work to our Aussie Mate 58 what a legend!!..👍👍
Thanks Shaun🙏
I love this! I am 51 and hitting the jumplines i wasn't able to hit as a kid. Send it NICK!!!
Good on you! 👍
Remy, just watching your videos and introducing different riders is so entertaining. But, this one... Huge props to you and Nick, awesome watching you both shred!! Be well, ride safe!! Cheers from San Francisco!!
Thank you🙏
Not starting til I was 30 was a bit discouraging at first, especially when you see all the teens and pres absolutely ripping but every once in a while you catch someone in they’re 40s, 50s just tearing up the trails going full send and it’s such an inspiration.
Thanks 👍
this was epic. watched the whole thing and time just flew by.
i'm 60 and thought i was real good, nick is at another level...hats off to ya mate
Thanks Jason🙏
inspiring. I turned 50 this year and decided to thrash a 100 pound aostirmotor s18 monster truck bike. It is unlikely to be where I have been... it's like i am grooming some of the trails. ..and I love it. For me the age thing is about lungs. You keep those pumping, nothing fades. My background is very atheltic. I was also a guide in the military..running and yeling at the same time....for miles. Officially disabled for 27 years. The ebikes are incredible.
Thank you🙏 and good on. Ebikes were a game changer for me too. Enjoy👍
This gives me so much hope to be able to improve and still ride for years
Back to the gym...
Back to the trails
Bro this video is so good. I feel like I’m breaking the law by watching it for free. Man… you and Kels absolutely killed it. This is easily one of the best mountain biking edits I’ve ever watched.
Great Video! I just turned 50 and had started downhill in 2002. Today I'm also rather "moderate" on the road and love the ebikes. Where that also has 170mm travel and I also like to let it run.
its bloody inspiring, his line choices were great and I must say Nick is a badass rider. Its quite similar to some of our trails here, nice one Remy...
Thank you🙏
dude is a beast !! i am 61 and still doing some pretty gnarly black and double blacks , won my first downhill race last summer at 60 , have a video of it
Thanks Danny! Good on you too!
YES Nick, awesome. Putting all that riding in the Gong to good use.
Gettin old is inevitable, it's happening right now, to all of us. Make the most of it while you can. I'm 53 years old and been riding my entire life, and I still go hard, but not like I used to. I've already had one knee replacement and I'm working on my second. I'll never stop riding, until they won't let me out of the home anymore. Then I'll sneak out like when I was a kid.
Mad Propps to this old head and I hope I shred like that at 58, in 5 years.
Thanks mate🙏. Yeah, i appreciate every time I get out on the bike.
Remy , thaks for showing that video , Nick is awesome and inspirational, iam 66yrs old & still riding , probably better than ever , up or downhills ! Age is just a number but you gotta ride smart ! Tks for the video !
"boy am I sore from yesterday's ride" hahaaa
Thanks 🙏 and good on you for still improving your riding 👍
Watching this made my day, and appreciate the words Nick said about doing weights to stay strong etc. SOOO rad seeing him ride those trails knowing they are steeper then the Go Pro shows!! Cheers Remy
Thanks David🙏
Awesome for Nick and so lucky to have ridden with Rémy!
I’m a 59yo female who learned how to do a 6-foot drop 2 years ago and got my PMBIA level 1 instructor’s certification last year! Yes, lessons and gym are so crucial in helping us continue to shred as we age!
(…although weird incidents still happen like I’m currently out with a broken pelvis, not from shredding down, but from a slow-speed uphill fall!)
Keep up the inspirational rides, all you/us “seniors!”
Way to go - good on you (well not for the stupid fall that resulted in a broken pelvis🤣🤣) Always aim to improve yourself - keeps us young👍👍
Shredding Nick! Looking good in front of the camera, Oxy will feel easy when you get home!
Thanks Ben! Oxy is great training for this!
Epic riding fella’s 🤟🏼 on ya RogDog 🔥🔥 catch ya back home fella . Absolute legend as always Remy 👍🏻
Thanks Simmo👍 Look forward to getting back out on the trails with you.
truly inspirational to be honest. Just shows, that keeping working out and doing sports will keep you younger :D Hope to be able to still shred at that age
Thank you🙏
Nick is a mad shredder 😂🤟 where abit loose down under pretty sure ive met nick a few times myself lmao
He is so good! Great motivation for upcoming decades! (I wish I get to THAT ability!)
Having also followed Nick down a trail I must say you're a brave man Remy! Mind blowing to see one of our pals riding with you and Dean, want a serendipitous turn of events. I'm sure Nick would love to show you around down under if you ever venture down this way.
Mate the invitation went out to Remy!😁
Awesome! Gives my 54 year old self inspiration!!
Thanks mate👍
Absolutely fantastic. Nice going Remmi
So amazing to see riders at that age still having fun! 🤘 Never too old for anything! ❤
55 riding hard inspired by Nick amazing riding Remy great content thanks
Truly an inspiration for us seasoned rippers. 10 more years!
Wow! I bet he's been living in the woods in Squammish and was faking the Aussie accent. There is no other way he could be that good. So much fun to watch. Great video!
Could be
Thanks Mikey! Your riding would step it up if you had Remy following you as well😁
Absolutely amazing and inspiring ! With the right mindset this shows that age is just mind over matter. Awesome video as always Remy!!!
Yeah thanks for inspiring us all to keep at it. Riding in Australia right now, great scene... come on out!
Mate, the invitation went out to Remy!
