Remy Morton Is “Back To Normal”

AND NORMAL MEANS HE’S RIP’IN

July 10, 2026

Introducing: “Back to Normal,” Remy Morton’s latest Ripton edit.

“I think this video is a great representation of who I am as a rider. It’s the rider who I was growing up, and it’s the rider that I’ve kind of always been.”

“This project has a lot of nostalgia from my days growing up in mountain biking. I always wanted to be like Steve Romaniuk. I always listened to Rise Against, and I always wanted to ride for Specialized. I guess that’s the rider that I was brought up hoping to be and now what I’ve become I guess.” – Remy Morton

Over the course of three months during New Zealand summer, Remy Morton and his team built every feature for “Back to Normal.” Then, he tested, rode, and shot on this custom track.

“The video is split up between two filmers, Scott Robb and Tom Booker, from Highlowcorp. Two of my best mates, two of my main building friends as well as filmers. Along with those two, Alex Makea and Alfie Hemming did the build.”

“Every single feature in the video was built and tested by myself, obviously with help from those guys on the builds. It’s definitely a fully in-house project.”

“I had a lot of support from some of my best friends which was super helpful throughout. Trying to get all of that stuff done, hitting gnarly feature after gnarly feature. Every single clip is based around a different key feature. So it was definitely a bit of a mental battle for me, testing stuff that was that gnarly day after day and filming it all. It was pretty stressful swapping between bikes and going from such a big build period to needing to be dialed on a hardtail through my downhill bike basically.”

“I wanted to throw it back and show a video part rather than an edit, a part that has banger after banger as if it was in a DVD all those years ago when that was kind of a thing. So I hope that that shows and also the riding shows how happy I am and how much like myself I feel again. Of course, I couldn’t thank Ripton enough for the support in this project. It’s a project that I’ve been wanting to do now for a lot of years and haven’t had someone to back it so thank you so much to both Ripton and Chromag for that. This piece is just the beginning of showing the rider that I really am and what I want to show myself as.”

Safe to say we enjoyed this one!
