- Red Bull Hardline Tasmania is shaping up to be one of the wildest mountain bike tracks this side of the equator. Matt Jones has stepped up to the challenge (yet again) to join the elite ranks of downhill riding by attempting decided to race the inaugural event down-under.
Red Bull Hardline was born on the rugged hillsides of Wales 10 years ago. The brainchild of legendary rider, Dan Atherton. It is an event that was born from the idea that the highest level of downhill racing, wasn’t hard enough…so a group of riders meet every year to make life harder.

Saying that RedBull is a big part of mountain biking is an understatement.
These guys did more than we can imagine
Amen to that sir
Def. way way more than the UCI.
we all see what the UCI DH WC is without the redbull broadcasting these days
It's amazing how they always manage to foster the right vibe. They find the right people and turn them loose. The UCI would never have allowed this course or even the CZcamsr coverage. But red bull did. The course is rad, riders are stoked, and normal riders like us are loving the coverage from our usual channels. It's a win for everyone involved... If only the UCI was pursuing the same formula.

Simply the best downhill race location i've ever seen. The riders make it loot way too easy. Stoked
Did you watch Jackson do the full run ? Wow it has a lil everything
@@cheesepizza87 Yeah it was like a podcast. He was so chill commentating while flying down hahaha
is this still Downhill, though? From the video it seems like mostly artificial, man-made jumps (huge, though, I admit). Very little "natural", technical stuff like rock and root gardens or narrow single track kind of stuff. What's the difference to Darkfest?
ok, just watched the Goldstone track preview. The upper part definitely is more "traditional", that section was mostly missing from this video. Looking forward to the race.
@janlentfer3275 all the middle turns and natural sections have completely blown out meaning the fast lines will now be inside of the turns and holes. Will be very hard to hit those at full race pace.
It’s been interesting to see Matt’s transition into different styles of riding, from freestyle into bigger, gnarlier downhill stuff like hardline
Life is too short to stick to only one style of riding!
@@RedBullBike absolutely, why send it one way when you can send a hundred different ones, variety is the spice of life after all 🤙🏼
One of the best things to happen to mountain biking.
They knew what they were doing getting Matt to do this. GREAT way to get a feel for what it’s like to be a rider there without ever having ridden downhill. Showing from the perspective of someone who is tackling it for the first time but has the knowledge of a thousand before.
5:20 You guys AND gals are SUPER gnarly... I'm sitting on my arm chair at home in disbelief at how mental this course is. Huge respect for all ya's 👏👏💯
Awesome to watch, and epic to see Hardline at home 🔥🇦🇺
Yeah Tahnee, you are all 100% gnarly,... and then some!!! Incredible event, great vibe and There's some brilliant backstage content coming out. Keep it coming
Love seeing Matt push himself and just the love for the sport. From darkfest to hardline is crazy.
Matt DONT BE FRUSTRATED.. U ARE NOT A DOWNHILL RACER.. YET U ARE GRINDING THEOUGH ONE OF THE HARDEST DOWNHILL COURSES IN THE WORLD WITH THE BEST RIDERS IN THE WORLD.. BE PROUD!!
SO PUMPED FOR THIS YEAR! Been to the last 2 hardlines and they are insane, sadly couldnt make it to tasmania but the event looks out of this world! stoked for all you guys
Red bull does not give you wings. I drank 5 cans and jumped off my roof hoping to fly or at least glide and only ended up eating dirt. (This is meant to be comical and is fake. I thought it was funny)
Imagine a world without drones. The follow shots are so good!
Weve had cameras on rc planes + choppers for about 40yrs matey , media didnt push them much , so drones seem high tech & new when its old a55 tech in reality .
@@TheCraigy83neither of those come close to what an fpv drone can do… simple as. Rc helicopters aren’t as easy to control, nor as nimble as a quad drone, so not suitable for tight environments such as this and thats before you get onto the camera tech of the day, which certainly isn’t recording super smooth footage at 4K 60fps, never mind being compact enough to slap on a tiny quad that can fly through the trees with precision…
@@BolivGaming
Go search up stunt choppers they smoke any drone . rc choppers just need a really smart pilot /pro gamer reaction times
You are right drones are definitely more user friendly then a rc chopper .
This event has one of the best vibes ever! Everyone is stoked to ride this course and the rider culture is entirely positive. I love seeing racers cheering on their competitors and helping each other with genuine friendship. This is a special era we're living through. It's rare for sports and racing culture to be like this. My thanks to everyone involved with making this a great event for participants and for us watching from home.
At first I thought I was on Matt's channel. Bout 4 minutes in, I was like- Sick edit! And then I saw it was Red Bull Bike. Nothing against Matt's editing- love that channel- just wasn't expecting that visual/ sound blast that ramps the viewer up to epic proportions. Awesome job all around.
The most beautiful trail I’ve ver seen, and Tawny Seagrave saying she hopes people think they’re gnarly… I have so much respect for these riders and really love watching them ride. I wish I had a tenth of their skill.
As an FPV drone flier myself, I'm just as impressed by the FPV Drone follow cam as I am with the actual riding!
They have a video somewhere where a drone operator followed a rider for the entire length of the hardline track in Wales. It was a whole project to relay the signal and pilot through some tight forest. You should have a look if you haven't yet!
For sure!! The rigs they build for these events are mental 😮
Been watching everyone's CZcams practice days and it's insane!!!
Yeah man, been thoroughly enjoying BK's vids. Epic looking trail.
Skill level 1000 to be cracking that course. Looks absolutely insane!!
Matt, it’s the best video I’ve ever seen you make and that’s saying a lot because you’ve had a lot of awesome videos. I think what really comes out at you is the speed how fast and then there’s the airborne time. Video shots, Matt were simply brilliant I had to watch it over again and again
Amazing!! Cannot wait for Saturday! Thanks for sharing this with the world! And I can def see its gnarly as all hell!! Good Luck to all the riders!
Thanks Redbull and all the riders! You bunch of mad lads and ladies.
4:59 No way, that girl's crazy! This is some of the most knarly stuff ever riden!
Great vid Matt, drone shots are unreal.
Would be nice to do a few mins with a drone pilot explaining what they use, how they practice etc.
Noted for next time ✏
Serious piloting skills!
Awesome video and insight and hats off to Matt for taking this on
This track is insane! Just when you think a trail can't get anymore gnarly they make it gnarlier every year! Huge props to all the riders who have the balls to ride this track 💪💪💪
THIS is what MTB is about. Connecting racers, they are PEOPLE, and I love to see them cooperate. We forget this day to day ~ Thank you @RedBullBike for being true and passionate to the sport 🙌 Something UCI will never.
Am loving this . Absolutely incredible skills 👊
Matt is the best possible personality for Redbull MTB
No one at home looks at this and thinks this is easy, I'm sitting down on my seat at home crapping my self just watching
Haven’t looked forward to a race this much in a long time! 🔥
So good to see the women riding this course and going huge too. Great to inspire my daughter that MTB is not just for the boys!
Can't wait for the stream! Props to the ladies hitting this!
So stoked to see the women in the mix! And yes definitely gnarly as!
Shred the gnar ladies! 🤙🤙Congrats to all who survived! 😂 Sick race! 🙌
as someone from Tasmania this cool to see big events like this also been here and some of the trails were mad
That drone footage in unreal!!!
@5:17 You are truly gnarly! The course looks insane
That was such a great video. You did a brilliant job of showcasing the location, track, and community of hardline cyclists. Best of luck for the weekend.
Yes Tahnee. It looks super gnarly!! Even on gopro.
Great to see the gals sending the big stuff, proper progression
red bull should make a second ''the best mtb drone pov'' for the second hardline
🐝🏁 Redbull helps get athletes to their peak performance 👍
Big balls! Nice training. Epic event
Great Vid love the woods section edit with the different riders. I’ll work up to a 6 foot gap lol.
LOL... You all are plenty Gnarly! Sweet overview and edit. 🙌
This was an amazing event!
Gracey's slam is gnarly as hell, props for walking away from that!
that frontal and fly-by shot of grandad are just mint 🤌
Darkfest looks huge, but damn this years Hardline looks like an insanely techniqual trail. Ride safe and keep those tires down
Damn, this is awesome!
Sendy's up mah spine! RB keeps raising the bar. This year's race is going to be insane!
sooo sick!! hyped👀
That was a great edit. 👊🏻👌🏻
This is gonna be awesome to watch. I guess I better download the Red Bull app again.

Great Job Matt!
Horns up for the drone pilots too 🎉
Smoooth job on the last Jump

Glad Jamie let Matt travel to Australia for this!
Hyped!
Hardline is the pinnacle of freeracing!!! This is what MTB is all about!
drone pilot galore, so cool
Redbull keeps pushing the boundaries, but I don't know if it was the ham I had, this run is making me feel sick 🤙
Super vid lads 💥
These girls and guys are insane 😮
Epic 🙌
SO happy i was able to be there
can i just say the person controling the drone is absolutely killing
Wicked video 👍👍👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻 what’s the music track at the end anyone??
Whoever this drone pilot is, holy mother of god that is some skill. Those follow shots are insane!!!
Check @profly_cinema on Instagram 😎
Yeah Matt
I love Matt as a rider and his commentary for sure, but Bernard Kerr is Mr Hardline and should have been presenting this! When is he going to get the recognition he deserves!
wow😮
Remy on that old school kit goes hard
Not just the kit, chainless too.
amazing
dang that shi crazyyyy
No, us people sitting at home don't think it looks easy in any way. And yes, we think you're gnarly.
Video is total quality.
The best DH riders or the world is amazing see them
Not one of us is at home thinking that’s easy. It’s insane I love it.
new marin prototype looks sick
That drone pilot should get a podium 🏆
son los altos más impresionantes que he visto
멋지고 자유로워 보여요 ❤
The ladies now hitting gaps that 99% of us guys wouldn't even attempt, is exactly the kind of progression this sport needs.
Nice video, just shows these are normal people scared at the features . looking forward to the race
Bernard is the man !!
Legends
Oh man, it's the scale of the jumps. At the speeds they're going, they must cover some distance.

That track looks like so much fun! But compared to the tech at wales, Tasmania looks like a cake walk
Credit the Athertons for inventing it. This track needs a little tech to make it equal to wales
Some one tell Tahnee we think they're all gnarly and rad AF!
Especially now that Warner has the UCI, this is the future of DH. So sick to see freeride and dh athletes together, really gives good appreciation for both disciplines and gets ride of the racer vs freerider mentality
Any idea what time in the uk?
Who did Matts bike dirty in the thumbnail??
Great video though!
Its so sick!!! But wales is harder... 😮
