Chucking the bike around, riding loose and popping off trail features, some great riding on display here. Plus a brilliant soundtrack, def one of the best vids I've seen this month. :mrgreen:

he'd be smoother and quicker on a 29er, wouldn't have to keep doing little jumps to clear stuff that his ikkle wheels would get hung up on ๐Ÿ˜›

I concur with the OP, liked it very much.

Wonder how many runs he did get that video.

*wish I had somewhere close that I could session*

Me too- iv'e run out of Muc Off and the washing machine is going to die ๐Ÿ™

This [url=

cheered me up a bit though- and i don't hate mother nature anymore. Quite the opposite in fact ๐Ÿ˜€
If you can, watch it in HD and immerse yourself ๐Ÿ˜‰

The riding for me is going to wait until the trails dry out a bit....

Ahh....the gaping chasm between what we think we do and the reality of what we actually do.
Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Hmmm, dry trails.

I'm getting hacked off with the weather too. I was all gun ho about riding tomorrow, but the snow we have here is horrible, slushy stuff not the fluffy stuff we had last time. Tomorrow will just be a sh*tfest of the highest order.

Good music choice too. I recommend listening to the rest of Rodriquez small back catalogue ( and watching the film - searching for sugar man).

Bloody showoffs ๐Ÿ˜†

I wish i had the energy/fitness to do that sort of thing- where he's pulling wheelies and pinging off of jumps, i'm a quivering heap of jelly wheezing for breath!

He needs some SPDs. His feet kept coming off the pedals in the corners.

Heh, my brother was almost at that level - whilst I definitely never have been. (although obviously not on a race track as this guy is an elite) Imagine having to put up with that.

pffft, if you really want to go fast you need to learn to pedal ALL the time, even when you're wheels aren't touching the floor:
