 While I'd love the position of fame like they have, it doesn't last. People come and go from action sports so fast its insane.

Sure, he doesn't go to school because he rides his bike for a living, but when people better than them show up and they loose their sponsors, what do they do...? Blank Stare

flag ridingpassionate (Jun 29, 2011 at 13:45)
 They should be flexible enough to asses right their position and change direction if needed after long time. Can anyone imagine Andreu say.. flying airplane with such a passion he is jumping a bike? Could any of the big riders take that much pleasure from anything different than riding? 15 or 20 yrs of riding is very long. People need changes in life. If they are strong enough to move their pleasure from what they've been doing last 20 yrs to something else so they could do it and master it for the next 20 yrs, and live from it then they are really the biggest men.

 Hate to say it but I was a bigger fan before this video. It was such a piss poor effort to look like a bad-ass. "look how I load my bike in my murdered out truck" Sure he's a good rider (damn good one) but what a D-bag, thats the kinda dude I'd drunkenly kick the shit out of at a bar.

flag jagarcia89 (Jun 28, 2011 at 8:09)
 toughness is good but being jacked has nothing to do with knowing how to fight. Anyways it's a dumb argument. I just do not like his cocky attitude in the video. MX guys like Dungey and others make way more money, have way more skill and manage to have good attitude at the same time.

 I agree 100% he such a douche. The fact he is one of the premiere riders bugs me. Throws his shit around, doesn't participate in some events as he judges them too small. Gets a sleeve of tattooed skulls, because he, IS, that bad-ass.

Little short Spaniard with a terrible case of small man syndrome.

 To be honest, the only time I've met Andreu he was a super chilled guy who didn't hesitate to buy everyone drinks. Yeah he's wild but that "D-bag" has done a hell of a lot more for our sport than any of you keyboard tough guys.

 It's George's house, he is the founder of MOD, who do huge events in front of thousands of people. I guarantee you that makes more money than simply 'riding MTBs'

 Badass video some big ass trails, Andreu is a little crazy but hey it adds some excitement, who cares at least he isnt the same as the rest of the world. I think more people need to learn how to ride big dirt jumps and then you might understand how it feels to just do huge whips and flow some gnar trails. It's a never ending roller coaster of heaven. I have never hit anything as big as in the video but riding dirt jumps is the reason that i ride bikes. totally relaxed flow. can't get enough. Props to the video.
