Brage Vestavik & Blur Media Presents: Brage’s saga | The X Games Real MTB Extended Cut
Brage’s Saga is the extended cut of Brage Vestavik and Blur Media’s X Games Real MTB 2021 segment.
When we suddenly received an invitation to the inaugural X Games Real MTB in October last year, we couldn’t believe it. We felt honoured to be able to represent mountain biking in X Games together with the biggest names in the sport. We didn’t really know what the expectations were, so we just went deep into the forest doing what we love - digging, riding and filming. We have always been influenced by old school mountain bike movies like the New World Disorder series, but wanted to maintain our “signature style” which we have developed together through various edits in the last couple of years.
For the segment we were only able to show 90 seconds of what became a 6 month long production period. We had so much more footage we wanted to show and decided to put together a film, to reveal more of what went down. Join our journey from mid-September to the end of January. Bigger, longer and uncut!
The Saga is divided into parts of each of the features Brage was scoping, digging and riding. It was all shot during the harsh conditions of the Norwegian off-season in the forests and neighborhoods of Brage’s hometown, Mysen.
“One of the heaviest but best periods of my life. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Being out in the woods from morning till 2 in the night everyday, it felt like living in the woods at some point, you just fall in love with the deep. It has pushed me further and I couldn’t be more stoked on what to come. I can't thank everyone involved enough, we did this together.“

Gotta respect Semenuk, and his edit was no joke either, but Brage should have gotten the gold all day. This edit proves it that much more. The amount of work and size of every one of those features they built.The mad Viking 🤘🏼🙌🏼🔥

💯💯 brag should have taken gold. All those hits were hand built by him and his homies. It was called Real MTB. This is Real MTB! As nice machine built features are to watch and ride, that's not the the reality for most riders. Brag 100% had the most authentic MTB edit! Such a legend.

I can remember me and my mates as teens, watching Birdman or Rodney vhs tapes to get stoked before the next skate session (jeez am I 38 already). Your footage including the edit, composition and music was bringing back this feeling and transferred it to mountain biking. I need to thank you for that guys. Keep it up!

You’re an absolute g !
absolutely unreal guys!! love to see how much work really went into making these incredible hits! what an amazing job!
The REAL winner of the contest! It was so sick seeing "The line" unedited. The only area of the final edit I thought could have used some more work was the crazy effects and jump cuts during The Line, so I was really stoked to see it start-to-finish. Such a sick build and shred!
One of the best behind the scenes of any mtb vid out there. The whole thing is so well shot and raw as f.. the features built were so original, so sick, and each send executed perfectly- that realmtb part is one of the best mtb vids of all time and this really shows why. Mad dedication, paid off big too 🤘🏻🤘🏻
1980s was a time when the power metal has born, 2020s - a time the power freeride has born.... Thank you Brage!
This is one freerider who just does not give a shit about fear, pain or the challenge. Throws it down every. time. And in shitty conditions. Those northern forests are like a frickin' jungle 😱😱
The best 20 mins I ever spent

Brage will probably never know this but he has always been an idol for me and mountain biking and it is so amazing to see what he does and how he does it in those conditions thanks for the content Blur Media :)

Same for me 💪
This legend and his crew are still living their childhood dreams. That's a win and #1 place in my book.
Robbed. You deserved 1st place for sure. What a legend!
Well I may as well give this a thumbs up right now
I couldn't even remember who won, only that Brage didn't. This edit and the riding is true savage cutting edge and the spirit of xgames.

Bit like Hill in Champery 2007. Lehikoinen won but Hill clearly went into the books as the people’s champ..
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
In the deep😳😳😳
this is everything and more. LEGENDS.
This Mans Pushing the Limits under Those conditions 😵💫💜
Hope to see you next Rampage only know about you because of that and I am so freaking glad. You're rippin it.
Respect to Braga insane out there digging every day I live in BC and I try to be out there every day build something new every day just had a small road cab for the first time so inspired by Braga insane I could go on for so long about Bragi is amazing
That guy and his crew... so dope 🙂🤟
Thats completely surreal but also completely wild and awesome!! Brage is not a human.....
so good! And so much Scandinavian swearing, haha
that drop was massive Jesus Christ... big respect Brage :)!
duuuude insane work from everyone
This guy is doing some extremely technical tricks, and Also getting top spots at hardline. Absolutely insane.
That manual to tailwhip off the drop though 😳
The bellow the Vikings gave me chills, that and the sick stunts as well.
Brage scandinavian granite spirit!!! What a man! Respect!!!
This was a religious experience… absolutely amazing
You can hear the joy when he lands every spot, the time and effort put into this is something else! My favorite rider all day
This is gangster! The true face of freeride!
So sick !!!!! Real as it gets
As always... this extended edit slaps as hard as Brage's head on The Drop
Sooooo deserved to win, I was amazed you didn't. Absolutely epic riding and filming.
so insane!! its crazy he just builds the landings and is never worried about the runout aha
Incredible! Whilst watching this it took me a while to remember who even won. Semenuk’s edit was amazing in its own way, but Brage should have taken the gold for sure. This BTS just solidifies that.
16:21 Amazing how that swinging rear wheel after the impact helps him with going around the corner

I N S A N E. I think I just had my mind blown. Unbelievable level of dedication from the whole team
How🤯Brage is a legend🙏
New vikings season looks great.
This was the sickest edit! Congrats on the silver!
This is how it's done!
A primordial current of GNAR ran through these insane masters of the craft while making this edit. Legendary!
These clips will never cease to impress me. It’s already a timeless classic
I have enjoyed this the most out of any MTB film that I’ve watched a long time keep making the sick edits
no chainsaws no machines just people working really hard. You guys rule!
огонь!!! очень классное видео! Браге прям настоящий викинг.
As a first generation American who's family all still live in Norway and a rider who loves monster drops, this shit speaks to me so loud. Great edit and mad respect!
THAT DROP GETS MORE INSANE EACH TIME I SEE IT, LIKE WTFFFFFFFFFFF
Vestavik el mejor rider del mundo en este momento.... saludos desde Colombia
this is one of the greatest freeriding edits I have seen and I doubt anything can top it. Amazing 🤘
First off, congrats on P2. The features, the building efforts, the crazy conditions, the insane crashes, pure grit and determination of you and your CREW to pull this off, plus the filming and editing... SOLID GOLD.
crew of legends!!! loved all of them but this should have taken the cake.. holy hell!
That whole video was unbelievable but that half cab in the very beginning was absolutely in f****** sane!!!!!Big Balls to go for that lol!!!( obviously everything he does is freaking gnarly as can be) definitely should have taken home the gold
That wallride is just nuts
Masterpiece
Omg 🤯😱
So sick this Video
You cannot recreate these vibes, just a few friends changing the whole game in the baddest conditions🧠😈😡🤬

Such commitment! Crazy conditions! Brage is a beast 💪

Insane amount of work, and even more insane riding!!!
just like an episode of "Vikings" but with sick mountain biking!!
Mad respect for that one! So insane!
Everything about this video is AMAZING
So good! Thank you for sharing it! Well deserved people's favorite 💪💪💪 on X-Games & Hardline
Pure madness! Huge respect for those builds and sends. Incredible!
awesome trail building, riding and video editing! Love the video 🤟
This is a masterpiece of Art! Super well edited too and amazing music selection. Well done! Wow! What an amazing piece of work!
Boom pow🔊⚔️💜💜
This is the level that comes after "next level" 👀 The grind by the building crew, the effort hauling camera gear in that terrain and the commitment from Brage all came together in that TRULY epic contribution that shootings have awarded a gold in my opinion (even though Semenuk had a seriously sick edit with a jaw dropping level riding as well) 💀
He is my favourite rider ever
Respect to Barge and the crew. That's a lot of hard ass work.
Duuude! Buiding this stuff was as gnarly as stumping it! Thanks for your banger vid and the bts, guyz! 🤘🏽
Absolutely inspiring.
So insane!
