Robbie Bourdon on Intense

So is camping

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa???no way

Yea I'd switch to intense if I was him too in no time.

have to agree with scottcampbell that is intense Kona's pro mountain bikers are leaving and it is not a very good sign, in my opinion...

yeh fabiens gone too ay

yay. i don't like kona anyways. atleast not their FS bikes. they're all sh*t. their DJ bikes are sick though.

hell yea
hes actually riding decent bikes now!

No neg props. You're allowed to have an opinion. Mind you, I partially disagree with it. Why not be happy for Robbie? It'd be a lot easier on your own constitution when you think about it. Peace.

dont try and use that as any style evidence. he has no style atall.that was a crazy move he pulled and never landed. its its lame when someone just trys to a flip or 360.its just spins nothing that takes real style skills.BUT,im hapy for robbie id never expect this but atleast hes riding for sweet company that sounds promising for him.sounds like they want to keep him for furure frame design it said.lets see whats ahead for him is he still going to be in nwd?

xtremefreerida least style... hmm as much as i hate watching Robbie "Air" Bourdon on his bike, but i have to admit he has got the balls that you my friend would even dream about... the man does not care of his well-being, he does for the passion for bikes and he my friend can surely rip the hardest of obsticles on his two wheels... and i think that his move to INTENSE is a wise choice, because he can re-invent himself and maybe even we will see a new side of him... same as what happened to Steve "Romo" Romaniuk when he all of a sudden switched to Mangoose and we don't see him shred that hard as opposed to when he was riding for Specialized...

Mongoose Mountain Bikes - i meant to say :/

Dude, it doesn't care if it's a mongoose or a specialized or a kona or an intense or whatever, you can put a pro rider on any bike and they'll perform well.

and i know bourdo has major guts that no one on pinkbike could match im just saying perhaps rite now his riding style is just the start of the sport and its not that big anymore.like bmx started out all flatground,now no one realy cares about flatgroubd sure people still do it and watch it and all and im not diss respecting it,but its not as popular as dirt or street. u see now kona doesnt have a sinlge hucker! they have tootaly over time re created there team to racing and a slopsetyle/dj/street team. its hard to say if it was a smart move for kona to do that....no one to show that there bikes can do 30+ drops anymore,but for intense people think there bikes are not strong enough,so bourdon can huck them and people will think there great for freeride and buy them more.

t3aSeR here my friend i would argue with you a lot... as my example with Romo shows he does not rip as hard... wait let me rephrase that so that you will understand: Romo's switch did absolutely nothing good for him... what it did is basically turn one of the best mountain biker to an invisible man... sure people do remember him, but what ahs he done recently on screen that people know about? let's see... Kranked 7 his last drop and that is it... he has absolutely switched his riding style, to a more adventure type, which to be honest in my opinion looks like Hans Rey's...

konad i do agree that Kona is going to regret that they have lost one of the iconic figures, even he is not that big of a star as the others, but he is almost like Joshua Bender... which shows how the sport once was before it turned into Slopestyle/Freestyle mania...

if one is to add to the last being said: Vanderham said that nobody has to forget the full suspension bikes and big drops, because that is where it started !!! and by quoting this i would say that Bourdon's way or style (either way how you prefer it) shows us all exactly that

you guys... style isnt about the gnar gnar tricks its about your flow, and how you execute those tricks.

forsure man and most people know that.thats why when u go to course u dotn do some double whip all skcthy and dont do anythign else u gota be smooth with big tricks consitantly off all sorts off diferent obstacles.thats what the judges want to see. who does the bigest tricks done smooth off evrything and consitantly.i also think that romo has had a benefit and disadvantage. romo isint quit as big of a deal as he was with specialized back in rampage days,but the rampage is gone and mongoose gives him alllot of benefit.he gets to ride sick bikes and get way more money the specialized gave him.

intense frames are like 100000000000000000 times better than stinky frames

hmm what an exact calculation.

it's almost true. i conclude that intense is 1000000000000000.98743954 times better with my calculations.

Never hear of a rock denting a frame before....? I see it ALL the time

Socom is FRO - light frame for race only. Kinda like a disposable race bike that looks pure sex in the flesh. So yeah, some may get bashed. It's hardly news, is it ?

when was the last time you used your eyes?!

They made the Uzzi. Kinda do it all DH/FR rig. Bit like the SC VPFree. Curiously, both are now out of production, being revised. Hmmm....what gives here ?

Thats ok then, because hes using the 6.6Slopestyle.

Robbie is currently riding the new Intense Slopestyle frame.

Hoots is riding for Norco for reasons way beyond style and riding. That guy runs so many camps for beginners all over the continant, hes a great all around rider and a damn nice guy. hes also fast as hell too. Try riding with these guys before bashing them

robbie "no style" bourdon

what!?! no... he has the steeziest straight air's i've ever seen

hahaha...i got that one

Ive seen freeriding pics and vids of this guy for nearly 10 years- I dont know if he raced - hes not the flavor of the month or a DJ in chick jeans but he is one of the pioneers of freeriding and still rides hard. Intense just released a non racing bike and thats all they are known for so yeah it is a smart move.
