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.The only YourTub bike riders worth a fuck are the Trail Peak homies. They just ride their bikes and don't say much other than "YEEEEW!!!". Most importantly, they send it pretty fucking hard.
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).Nate Hills has some pretty sick follow cams too.

thanks for reminding me how much all my local trails blow.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.

these are local to methanks for reminding me how much all my local trails blow.![]()
everything within an hour of my is XCthese are local to me
there're way better trrails on that hill. but a lot of it would be pretty awkward to film well without a lot of forward planning
i heart that vid . . .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).

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.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)
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.Thanks for sharing. I preferred the first video though. looked way more fun to me.
do you shuttle to the top of these trails?
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:who spends $500 on a FRONT hub? i know this industry is bonkers but does anyone even make an mtb front hub at $500?
OK I overshot a little. The most expensive front hub I've found is only $299.who spends $500 on a FRONT hub? i know this industry is bonkers but does anyone even make an mtb front hub at $500?
eh? the hubsets are almost $600 for I9. not an individual hub.who spends $500 on a FRONT hub? i know this industry is bonkers but does anyone even make an mtb front hub at $500?
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![]()
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.The one in Humboldt is a secret trail and I don't have the info on it.

or add new stuff to the kill listLaguna is also where a lot of industry bro's hang out in the off season, so you can frequently spot the latest "this is what's wrong with the industry" prototype there.
I walked my E bike up a trail* 15 times tonight in your honour.True story, I passed a guy WALKING his ebike up a hill on my ride last night.
