Must Watch: Billy Spurway’s Full-Throttle, Loose-as-You-Like New Zealand Mix - Pinkbike (2025)

I’ve been keeping tabs on Billy Spurway for a while now — his riding’s always had this raw energy to it, but his latest edit with Ripton cranks it up another level. The new video, shot by Tom Booker, just dropped, and it’s a blur of speed, style, and that unfiltered freeride vibe that gets me so fired up to go riding.

Billy spent the winter digging and riding in New Zealand, and it shows. Big hits, fast lines, and no shortage of commitment. He blends moto-style speed with that skate-inspired looseness — nose bonks, wild tables, and a death-grip riding style that feels just barely on the edge of control in the best way possible.

This is Billy’s first official edit for Ripton, the denim-forward brand that’s been popping up more and more in MTB, and the partnership makes sense. Like Billy, they’re not trying to fit the mold — baggy fits, streetwear aesthetics, and an obvious nod to BMX and skate culture run through the whole piece.

If you’re into freeride edits that don’t feel over-polished or overly choreographed, this one’s worth a watch. Spurway's doing his own thing — and it's damn fun to see.
