After 15 hours of mountain biking on RU-vid, I decided to try it myself. I called Birk Selquist, who with his 139,000 followers on TikTok happily took me to Tromsømarka on an intensive course in mountain biking and life-threatening jumps. On bicycles for NOK 60,000 each, this was a easy...or was it?
A few years ago, Birk's TikTok account completely took off. He has a GoPro camera strapped to his bike helmet, and his videos have almost been viewed 4 million times. He does things very few others do on a bike (thankfully). I wanted to find out more about this extremely popular Tromsøværing and at the same time pick up a tip or two. Birk is also an ambassador for @CanyonBicycles.
Birk is a professional cyclist, and the jumps you see in this film must not be performed by ordinary people.
