In this video from Red Bull, former DH MTB World Cup racer Bryn Atkinson rips through the fourth dimension as he shreds the woods of Washington.

Let the sounds of Bryn Atkinson shredding through the woods bring sweet music to your ears

What’s different? There’s no voiceover, no music; just the pure unadulterated sound of speed. It’s sweet music to our ears. ASMR for mountain bikers.

Atkinson tears through the trails at ridiculously high speeds with the amount of precision and control you’d expect to see from a rider of his calibre.

Despite his serious skills, he doesn’t take himself too seriously though, punctuating each launch with a joyous "yeow!" before the thundering sound of his tyres hitting the ground.

Sound is a must. Headphones optional, but highly encouraged.

Mildred’s a utilitarian cyclist at heart, determined to do everything on two wheels, whether it’s shopping, commuting or moving house. She’s spent the past three years volunteering as a mechanic and workshop coordinator at the Bristol Bike Project, and now sits on its board of directors. Her expertise in bikes — and what people want out of them — comes from working in real-world bike shops and learning the ins and outs of the industry. At home on slicks and knobblies alike, Mildred’s ideal ride covers long distances through remote countryside, on mixed terrain that offers a bit of crunch. She’s easily won over by steel frames coupled with a 650B/plus-tyre combo, and is currently riding a Surly Bridge Club.
