2013 RIDE of the Year - Vital MTB Shreddy Awards 7

In a sea of competitive race runs and web video saturation, one act of riding rose to the top as the most spectacular of 2013. The brand new track, created for the best mountain bike racers in the world, put many on their heads. Remi Thirion, however, used his effortless style, paired with unflinching confidence to win his first World Cup downhill race in Andorra. The rutted, steep, gnarly, physical Andorra DH course looked like B-Line as Remi put it all together during his race run. His pre-race suspension testing with that crazy BOS contraption strapped to his bike just added to the radness of it all, too.

Here's to Remi Thirion and his Shreddy Award for the 2013 Ride of the Year. YEW!

Wish they had a clip of him hitting his crazy gap line on that run. So gnar. Respect!
