We’re usually used to seeing urban trial rider Julien Dupont do pretty awesome things in major cities for his Ride the World series, but seeing him with freestyle trial buddy Arthur Coutard riding around the rocky slopes of the French Alps is totally different backdrop.

Enjoy the video, and wish you were there with them.

French urban trial and freestyle legend Julien Dupont has been showing us many jaw-dropping stunts throughout the years, and he is quite a popular character among extreme motorsports enthusiast around the world. This time time around he decided to give the brand new all-electric KTM Freeride E a go, and here is a bunch of pictures showing us what he has been capable of doing on this ambitious motocross bike in Barcelona’s surroundings.

KTM Freeride E is powered by a brushless synchronous motor with 300V of batteries, produceing 30bhp (22kW) at 6,000 rpm and 42 hp (31 ft-lb) of torque at just 500rpm. We just hope that some video evidence of the Dupont/Freeride E odd couple will surface soon as well.

Urban freestyle trial rider Julien Dupont did another of his amazing stunts on Tuesday morning and this time it was Gateshead’s Millennium Bridge that felt the wheels of Dupont’s trials bike.

The ‘Blinking Eye’ is celebrating its 10th anniversary next month and this audacious French rider rode over the tilt bridge when it was open, but his stunt wasn’t simple as he lost some grip on the surface material, but in the end he conquered the 126 metre (413.4 feet) architectural wonder.

Julien said, “I am constantly looking for interesting and unique structures to conquer as this is the challenge for all freestyle motorbike trials riders; I want to keep pushing the boundaries of this sport and this project showed that.”

If you missed this 2 day event you can see the video and maybe make plans to catch next year’s 2nd edition. After the jump the results of this contest.

Free styler and Trial X rider Julien Dupont took his bike and the Red Bull film crew to Israel for a little more fun and games. Watch as the French rider rides through Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and telling his story of why Trial X is a way of life and how he got into this sport.

Thanks Shay for the tip.

While we’re used to seeing urban free styler Julien Dupont titillating us with his Ride the World escapades and we’ve always wondered in a more or less casual way, why he’s never been arrested or fined, but Mormon Few Crew stunt rider Jonathan Bennett wasn’t so lucky.

Bennett on his 250cc Beta Techno trials bike rode the arches (70 cm wide) of the Fairfield Bridge in Hamilton, New Zealand last year and his stunt made the national news, but the daredevil rider got his wrists slapped today and was fined 500 dollars and received 6 months disqualification.

We guess that we’ll never see one of Julien Dupont’s Ride the World videos filmed in New Zealand.

Totally illegal, but totally fascinating the skills that urban freestyler Julien Dupont shows in his latest escapade in Berlin. Dupont’s rebel cry is ‘Ride the World’ and as always he does just that.

The French rider hit Berlin to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the wall.

Freestyle urban trial champion Julien Dupont rides the streetscapes of Lyon in this video from 2007. We don’t always like to harp on about safety but this is another of those “don’t try this in your town” videos.

French freestylerJulien Dupont did another of his urban raids to launch of his sponsor’s drink, Red Bull in Norway. This time around Dupont took on Oslo’s new opera house before a couple of security guards got wind that he was defiling the place with his bike, so they chased him off. Next stop was the Akerhus Palace and gardens for a little more fun and tricks.
