Awesome. I am going to Moab this summer. Maybe I can ride that line and kill myself. Is he still riding for Rocky mountain? I heard he left the team. I don't know though?

When I watched it for the first time, I didn't think he was going to make the drop off the rock. Is he riding his flatline in that?

He would have died if he had a sram derailleur.


What great drivetrain product testing......what with all that pedaling and all.
yeah, for sure.....and codes never would have slowed him down enough......that whole vid serves as a testament to his tires, suspension, and skills more than anything else.....lame....

cool line though

And even then, the brakes are squealing like a dry pig.

my codes would squeak on a decent like that.

show me a brake that wouldn't.

and I for one and firmly convinced that shimano saint is the second coming of christ in bike form after watching that video. There is no possible shadow of a doubt in my mind that shimano makes the best products EVER. It would be pointless to run anything other then shimano saint after watching that video. If he can do it, so can I, and I'll be using a shimano drivetrain to make it happen.

That´s quite a product test. :bonk: blablabla... Nothing have changed, same €%#&€# as the Tour de F back in the 50:ies. Bring on the gear box system Shimano! Not impressed! yet...

Vanderham is a beast for sure, but it seems not much has really happened since Mr Watson started doing Utah-lines in "Ride to the Hills".
