We now wish that every downhill race had this kind of footage. The level of skill in this video is pretty wild. The drone pilot chasing Kade Edwards manages to keep up and you know Kade never lets us down in any edit. Watch pilot and rider in sync down one of the toughest mountain bike tracks in the world.

"It takes a lot of trust to have someone following you so closely with an FPV drone. The Red Bull Hardline course is unlike any other downhill track on the planet, and I was able to just concentrate on my riding with the drone flying behind me. With the tough conditions on the track and weather closing in, full concentration was really needed!” - Kade Edwards

“This was a major project and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I’ve loved watching Red Bull Hardline over the years and knew this would be the best way to showcase the sheer skill of the riders. Kade’s speed certainly didn’t make it easy for me though, I had to really push the envelope to keep up with him all the way down," drone pilot, Ralph Hogenbirk
