Winning World Cup DH races is all well and good, but when you've done that AND you're the rider that every fan and competitor wants to look like on track, you've done something right. Remi Thirion is that rider. Unassuming off the bike, and pure art on the bike, Remi takes lines that very few oth...

After a late takeoff, the 2020 World Cup season is already a wrap. It will have been short and intense, there will have been some highs and lows, accomplishments and disillusions, but we still brought home a World Cup win and two overall podiums!

We have always been and we will always be Remi Thirion fans! His unique style is well known by every MTB lover: clean, fast, and flowy. Ask him to ride one of the sickest bike parks - Morgins (Switzerland) - get his best action shots captured by JR Ceron and Arnaud Blin's race drone, add some c...

As you know, we don’t need to go into detail to tell you what happened this year! A video with our favourite moments, our best bits of action and the main people who all contributed to team life, is all we wanted! We laughed, we cried, we shouted, we worked hard. Racing isn’t easy but it’s wort...

#longlivechainsaw - This was the first time we focused specifically on a raw video at a World Cup DH race weekend and Steel City Media captured the bike abuse. We hadn't even decided to call it Vital RAW yet. This raw compilation is from the Hafjell, Norway, World Cup in September 2013. 26 inch w...

There’s not much left to be said about the last round of the UCI DH World Cup: we saw the most unpredictable and exciting final in recent memory! It was pretty unique to play the last cards of the season on a new track, which added even more suspense to the thing! The excitement of the American ...

Mont Sainte Anne has always been a crazy race for us. Myriam Nicole and Rémi Thirion have both been injured here over the last few years and this year was another super intense edition for the team. Not the easiest but the best so far!

Commencal looks back on a good year of shredding.

Remi is ready. Thank goodness, World Cup season is nearly here.

One of the best ways to close out 2016 is to look back at the nastiest DH and Enduro shredding of the year from #VitalRAW. Thanks to our filmers, the riders and you, the fans, for making Vital RAW the embodiment of blasting down mountains on bicycles! #LONGLIVECHAINSAW You can watch all our ...

La Palma, often nicknamed ‘Isla Bonita’ or ‘The Beautiful Island,’ was the destination of choice for Rémi THIRION and his Brushed META AM V4.2 to finish off an excellent downhill season, having achieved a 6th place world ranking! From the first day on location, we were blown away by the bea...

World Cup ripper Remi Thirion is one of the fastest racers on the downhill circuit, where his all-out wild riding style brings him rewards more often than not. The French rider isn't averse to a bit of adventure, so for our latest Sound of Speed episode, we took him to Whistler for his first-eve...

If anyone asks you what downhill mountain bike racing is all about, just show them this. We've taken footage from our Vital RAW videos of the Lourdes World Cup and paired it up with a ripping music track because you can never have too much DH racing! RAWK ON! Song - Holiday in Cambodia by The D...

The final exam is over but there's still homework. Two sections with the fastest riders and a host of line choice. Post-World Champs study session to make you shake your head at the speed the best men and women DHers on the planet carry through the gnar.
