You're invited. We're meeting at a pub half way from mine and @jackalope's. Morzine is halfway isn't it?

Nate Hills has some pretty sick follow cams too. I may not watch all his videos, but Phil Kmetz can certainly ride a bike. fast.
There's a few other fast dudes (Nate for sure) but if you just wanna see some motherfuckers get on their bikes and shred the shit out of sick trails check out Trail Peaks (or that dude JordanBoostmaster if you prefer jumps and north shore stuff).
Phil is a killer on the bike but he talks a lot and doesn't generally ride a lot of incredible trails. I have my girlfriend watch his skills videos when I'm having trouble explaining a concept to her. He does a great job of actually breaking shit down in his instructionals.
if you wanna shit your pants for 6 minutes check out this one
these are local to methanks for reminding me how much all my local trails blow.
everything within an hour of my is XC
i heart that vid . . .
phil's ridden a bunch of stuff around here since he moved to the area. he's definitely fast on the tight, chunky, blown out stuff in the back country. i'd have fun riding with him, but would have to give him space so i wouldn't have to listen to him, I think . . .
Someone has to remind you of your poor life choicesthanks for reminding me how much all my local trails blow.
If you like that.....
(things start to get serious around about halfway through and by the end I was watching with my chin on the floor lol)
yeah... that was a sick trail. hoowee!
Try driving 5-6 hours to get 2:30 downhill runs then come back to complain.everything within an hour of my is XC
Thanks for sharing. I preferred the first video though. looked way more fun to me.
do you shuttle to the top of these trails?
Moar warranty tears are being shed
The one in Humboldt is a secret trail and I don't have the info on it. The other is a good old fashioned ride to the top type deal (It's way down in SoCal so I haven't had the opportunity to ride those trails, Cali is huge, it takes about 10 hours to get from one end to the other, about as big as your whole country). The Trail Peek homies are not afraid to pedal all day to get the good shit.
Heyyyiii, let's spend $500 for a lightweight hub and then additional $150 to make it heavy again.
who spends $500 on a FRONT hub? i know this industry is bonkers but does anyone even make an mtb front hub at $500?Heyyyiii, let's spend $500 for a lightweight hub and then additional $150 to make it heavy again.
I dunno, but the answer lies within:

OK I overshot a little. The most expensive front hub I've found is only $299.
eh? the hubsets are almost $600 for I9. not an individual hub.
I feel your pain brotha. Just have to make the best of those XC trails and send every little 15 second dip and hill.everything within an hour of my is XC
These are the local XC trails here, but if you carry some speed down the hills and trails they are a hoot.
I've ridden a little bit of laguna (recognized some trails in that). It's a pretty neat contrast going from my personal hell on earth (socal) to some of the neatest trails in the state. That area is worth the trip.
or add new stuff to the kill list

I walked my E bike up a trail* 15 times tonight in your honour.
*It was only a sort trail back to the start of a line of jumps. it's what I'd always do at a line of jumps while chatting shit whatever the bike. just because you can ride up something easily doesn't mean you should.

e-bikes at Mammoth.... that'll end well.
In a day and age when most current MTB bikes from all the major manufacturers look fine and perform great, he found possibly the ugliest available, and a moped at that.
The meme was way better than the article
The author listens to women too much and doesn't have enough bikes.
I own 12 bikes (one being an Ebike) and hundreds of ex GFs.
If somehow I could only wrap my cold dead hands around one bike while the others burned in hell around me that bike would be a 4X hardtail.
If I could reach two the other would actually be a roadbike.
One of those ex GFs took a hammer to a bike of mine once. Moral here is: Don't trust them. or maybe it's don't get caught with your cock inside another one. I was never that great with morals.
