Some biiiigggg hucks in QT on this one...
Like a good punk song - fast, stupid and over in 2 minutes. Great stuff. God that bike took some punishment though.

Just watched that, not quite as good as their earlier stuff for some reason. Or maybe I'm all jibbed out. Gotta love how fucken stoked those boys are every time one of their mates does literally anything on a bicycle.

The counterpoint to jibbing videos would have to be Nico Vink's 2018. MX size gaps, lanuals through berms, train track gaps... crazy!!

That was good. Also props for a soundtrack where I don't have to hit the mute button a few seconds into the vid. :headbang:

Because Joey Gough fucking rules

And nostalgia
(racing while locals were shooting at you and setting fire to the forest or riding UP the track towards you on a nicked crosser, kicking the shit out of partying the night before racing)

Some don't like these youtube bike people, but I find this guy to be pretty good.

But the trail. Oh me, oh my..... :drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool:

I rode the Ribbon back in 2009. The bottom part seems to have been re-routed or something... The feeling of speed on that top section and going as fast as you dare, and then riding through the canyons is a highlight of my riding career. Such a cool trail. Nate Hills did a great video on here too... I'll see if I can find it.

Lars Romig guides in his spare time... We've hired him a few times, and he's always shown us the goods. One of my best rides of all time was chasing him down Mingus Mtn. I still remember the feeling of scree falling down my neck.... #chillsdownmyspine
I've taken many routes off of Mingus, both East and West. One time we somehow managed to come out at the airport like planned, but one of my buddies got a concussion on the way down and forgot who he was for a little bit. Good times.

Those look like fun.
Yeah that's shot mainly on the IXS track at Innerleithen (Inners to locals). it was bullt a few years back for an ixs cup race and incorporates a lot of old track sections with a few newer sections thrown in to link them up/make it interesting. It's a really good mix of fast/tight with decent technicality. Best new track we've had built there in years. Ruaridh grew up ripping this hill, Mark is local to me (about 40 miles away) and Reece is pretty local too. There's always been a decent pot of talented riders local to Inners because of the tracks.

Bike voodoo with some of these moves.
that is some quality play riding.
I didn't watch at first because I thought it was going to be a douche riding an ebike up a DH trail...
(to be clear for Gary, the only reason for the douche label is because of riding up and down specific trail (I think that trail is directional). So in a sense, this guy carries that moniker regardless of ebike or not. But... the athletic achievement is more impressive with a push bike than a pedal assist bike, so it is noteworthy as a result. So douche-label removed. And hopefully they had spotters to warn of on-coming riders since they were filming...)
