Born in Australia, he is a real all-round talent. The former BMXer loves long jumps, fast descents and stylish stunts. One of his trademark moves is the tyre slide - his mates also call the manoeuvre the RM move. "RM" stands for his initials.
We caught up with Remy and asked him so that you too can let your tail slide just as casually over bumps in the coming season. Here's Remy's explanation.
Tire Slide fun - where & how?
With this move, you can have fun even on unspectacular flow trails. Ideal for the tyre slide are not shaped table jumps, but natural bumps as shown in the photo. The right speed is important on the approach. You also don't want to take off too high from the jump or stick to the ground. Instead, the bike should glide smoothly over the ground.
Tail skid
Ride towards the scooter jump with momentum. Instead of pushing off, follow the wave motion of the jump tentatively so that your bike becomes light and lifts off a little. Now there are two things you need to do in one go: 1. move your centre of gravity far forward and pull the handlebars towards your hips. 2. push the rear end to the side using your hips...
Slide - don't ride
... the result: the rear wheel swerves to the side - similar to a whip. But because you lack airtime and the rear end is unloaded, it slides over the mound. Important: stretch your legs and look forwards. If you want to stop the slide, push the front down. As soon as the tyres regain grip, the rear automatically pulls back into the track.

Remy's latest video project with Kriss Kyle
Remy Morton and Kriss Kyle have known each other for many years. When they met at the Red Bull Hardline Wales in 2024, they talked about an MTB trip for the first time. Inspired by mutual partners and longstanding mutual respect, the idea of a joint mission quickly took shape: In the run-up to Red Bull Hardline Tasmania 2025, the two Red Bull athletes set off on a week-long road trip and explored the best trails in Tasmania together.
