Join me as I ride with MTB legends Sam Pilgrim, Matt Jones, Dawid Godziek and more pros at the insane Swatch Nines event 2025! 🚀 From massive freeride lines to jaw-dropping tricks, this event is packed with next-level mountain biking action! We even hit the line in the Dark at the end of the video!
Set in Sölden, Austria we start the trip being invited to test out an amazing new jump trail that’s perfectly built for flow. This spot is quickly becoming one of the best mountain bike destinations in Europe, and it did not disappoint!
Whether you’re into freeride MTB, slopestyle, or downhill trails, this video has it all – huge jumps, pro riders, and epic trail riding.

[Music] Right, we’ve actually been invited to test out this brand new track here called Hoopa, which I think is hopper or jumper. We got a bit of a crew. The man himself who built it is going to lead us down. And yeah, we’re literally the first Steve to ever ride this trail. So, it’s going to be sick. Let’s do it. Come on, Matthew. What a treat. Well, look, we got two options. We’re going for this one. A little step down. Sick. Mate, it’s wicked, isn’t it, [Music] mate? That’s so good. [Music] Oh, that’s a triple for sure. [Music] Oh, it was a secret tripper, wasn’t it? [Music] Up, down. Oh, and a slide. I almost feel mean to the trail cuz it’s too smooth. Feel like I’m in a seminar video. Oh, I missed it. [Music] It is so smooth. Wow. Oh, another triple. Oh, I missed the rock. That’s a cool steep little one. It’s so long. Oh, here we go. Mate, you are Yeah, that’s incredible. The closest I’ve ever felt. Epic trail. Brandon Seock movie. Isn’t that good? I almost felt like next year. Yes. Bike park solder next year. I felt rude riding it cuz it was so smooth and good. So that’s only halfway and you’re going to build another half down there. Yeah. It’s quite a quite a way to go. Yeah. Uh a little bit less than half. Less than half. Well, thank you so much. Nice. Welcome everyone to the Swatch 9. Unfortunately, my bike didn’t arrive yesterday, so I’m a bit late, but that means everyone knows the course already. So, I’m going to follow these two BS straightened down the slope style course, eh, for my first run of the day on huge downhill bikes in dad mode. Yeah, proper actually triple dad crew now. Yeah, this is it. That gives you extra powers. True. And sore backs, too. Sore, right? Let’s see if we can get these old backs down this slope. So, of course, by the end of the day, I want to ride both lines. Come on then, boys. [Music] Nice little drop start. That’s all. [Music] That’s too close. [Music] Oh, that’s actually huge. Oh, flips going down. I’ve gone too big down. Oh [Music] You got to go slow. [Music] Oh, that one’s really nice. What a ridiculous course. [Music] Sick. That um that last jump so good compared to last year. Did you flip it then? No. I need to do it. Did you do a couple laps into the last jump? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. We got a lap in the bag of the slope course and we’ve hiked up halfway kind of just to check out this ridiculous uh magnificent course, but also to uh do a couple laps of last jump. Me and Matthew going to bash out some tricks. Ain’t that right, boy? Well, that is the plan. What should we do? Honestly, I’m going to flip the last. I’d like to see that. When you say some tricks, start off with one trick. You do a flip. I’ll do a Superman. Okay. Yeah. Deal. Got to walk before we run. Yeah. We got to do something, aren’t we? [Music] [Music] Oh, lovely. [Music] [Music] I ced you through it. I did actually. FL. I got excited by your flip. Did one too. Oh, didn’t log. So, you just killed your speed for this section. Yeah. Should do that again, but do it nice and smooth. All right. Chance more. Apparently going for something quite wild. On the biggest jump here. Oh, no way. That was nuts. That’s so ridiculous. That’s so hot. It doesn’t Hey, Bars won that. Bars from the What a heater of a run. He’s got to finish it off with something big. Freddy Noer. Oh, he’s done it. What a run. What a run. I haven’t even ridden that line yet. That’s so fun. Right, Matthew? Let’s get a little trick run on a train and then we can go play on the big line cuz uh that was quite ridiculous, wasn’t it? So, we shouldn’t really be scared of that big one anymore. 60 foot flip. That’s ridiculous. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Yeah, Matthew. That was a good one. Yeah, I got it, man. That’s a good three, isn’t it? Nice. We did a good run. Go on, Pils. Yo, Harry. Oh, that’s huge. What we got? Oh, double can. Oh, huge. So good. Oh, wow. It’s going off. That’s so cool. The other way. No. Yes. Oh my god. Sick. All right, boys. Looking forward to this. You want to go behind me? Yeah, please. Oh, that’s so sick. Oh, mate. That’s windy, isn’t it? That lip comes up quick, does it? No. Yeah, I actually break and cased it a bit cuz I didn’t want to go deep. A lot of wind actually came to almost full speed now. Yeah. And a little side wind in the air. Sidewind for sure. Pretty horrible. I was fully whipping and chilling there till the last moment. Yeah, that’s cool though. I love the step down. That’s actually wicked. The step down into the wall. Yeah, your line’s Are you leading us down? See, are we doing skinny around the top of the boat? That will be some precise landing. Yeah, I can’t wait. Oh, that’s close. Okay. Did you hit the side? That’s so good. [Music] Whoa. Oh, nice three. See, I love the skinny. Skinny. Holy. The skinny was so good. I think one of them boys hit the phone. I heard it. Oh boy. What’s going on? He like nose dived to the top of the landing and I already predicted it. So like went way past. I heard you hit the sign. It made me laugh. That’s brilliant. Oh, that’s actually massive, isn’t it? Do you pedal or not? See, it just looks so chill and har. Wow, it’s quite long. Really long. I’m most nervous about the hit and the 60 photo actually is pretty big. [Music] Oh, [Music] wow. That is scary, man. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] That’s really That’s quite a buzz, dude. That’s an insane buzz. The mate if you went slow on the step down you are done. I pulled it. I didn’t go very big on the hit and yanked and still cased it. I said pump and yank. I break for the first jump by accident and I always pulled so hard and cased. Bit wind isn’t it? Sick sash today. I’m here on the course. Had fun up in the bike park as well here at Bike Republic Solden. Would have liked to have ridden a lot more but the bike not arriving didn’t really help and we’ve been battling with the weather a little bit. But hope you guys enjoyed that video. Anyways, it’s been epic though. Thanks everyone at Nines for building such an incredible course. Again, as always, thanks for watching, guys. We’ll see you on the next vid. Cheers. Slow down. Yeah, daddy. Here we go. Yes. way. That’s so dark. That’s ridiculous. That low light mode, bro. I don’t know. that if pure video can see anything in that, I’ll be impressed.

6 mins so sick to watch how easy you make these free ride events look and would you have any tips for people who want to get into them?
Always look forward to your vids sam, there always banging
That track looks absolutely insane 🤯🔥 the flow, the jumps, the whole vibe is just next-level — seriously amazing riding!
I usually share a very different type of cycling experience on my channel: POV rides through the historic streets and hidden corners of Shiraz, Iran 🚴♂️✨ If you ever feel like switching from extreme jumps to calm, real-life city rides, you’re more than welcome to check it out 😉
Yes Sam 🔥
sam, matt and sam. The dream team
dope tracks…and the liquid DNB goes so well with MtB vids..
Might as well ride a hardtail
Hardtails and downhill bikes are the best looking bikes by far. I never get over how cool Sam's bike is. I don't know if it's just the flat, rectangular tubing or the low seat tube, but that bike always looks so different and awesome .
that ending clip was sick
This looks like the most fun ever
Night laps are fricken insane 😍
The Dad Lads ❤😂
Dad powers 😅
