""I have ridden with some of the most talented riders around the world, including Jackson Goldstone, but I can't even explain how it was to follow Weston," said Metailler about riding with Wes in Utah. "It just did not make sense. The speed, the style, the skills, but also the maturity. The kid is going to retire all of us sooner than we want.""
"Wes and his brother Cam are some of the most talented young freeriders in the sport, and if you need more convincing, follow them on Instagram (@triobehindbars) to be consistently blown away by their skill on the bike. If that still isn't enough, this video of Wes and Remy Metailler riding one of the gnarliest trails in Utah is sure to leave you speechless."
"I've been following the story and talent of Wes and Cam for a while, and I interviewed both of them last year forour The Kids Are Alright series to learn more about the two young shredders and what makes them so talented. Since that interview, both Wes and Cam have progressed a ton as riders, both clearly influenced and inspired by the freeride greats - and now they're riding laps of the gnarliest trail in Utah with one of them."
Eleven-year-old Wes Lukens rides Utah's infamous King Kong trail with professional freerider Remy Metailler, demonstrating exceptional speed, style, technical skill, and composure beyond his years. Wes and his brother Cam rank among the most talented young freeriders, regularly showcasing advanced bike handling and daring lines on social media. The King Kong trail features wild, exposed terrain that demands maturity and precision. Remy Metailler found following Weston inexplicable because of the boy's speed, style, skills, and maturity, predicting that Wes will outpace many older riders. Both brothers have progressed markedly and draw clear influence from established freeride greats while tackling gnarly laps confidently.
