It's a stunt double

Told through the prism of Busche's daydream, viewers journey with him as he imagines himself hitting the alluring trails of California's coastal mountain ranges and doing some crazy stuff on a bike strictly built for pavement. SPY asked its mountain bike freestyle rider Mike Montgomery (Teams Specialized and Monster Energy) to stunt double for Busche's wildest fantasies of doing things on his road bike that no one else has done before. That is, until Montgomery did them for him.

There's a summary below the video on youtube. Too bad it doesn't mention where the trail is exactly. Looks pretty sweet.

That is some incredible bike handling.

Love it when Matthew says, "I only ride in a straight line with two wheels on the ground, hopefully."

especially the cornering skill on that berm-track. really has to commit to the front end which isnt in a roadies vernacular
