That. Was. Awesome.
The riding, the music, the lack of go pro so you can actually see what someone's riding for fuck sake,
Total win.
Reminds of the original Kranked movies but with more bar ends.
seat up, narrow handlebar, steep angles, skinny tires, weak brakes. imagine most riders today trying that.
or trying this.
does it make you wonder how Eli can be so good?
Before mountain biking was cool.

Bringing back the memories, 10:00 mark , fucking beavers flooded the "trail" ,walk or paddle, Looks like a bb/hub rebuild this week. Where's the Phils?
Love the rock crawling around 12 min in. Took a ride on an old mid nineties bike of mine this summer, feels like a death trap now, can't believe what I used to ride on that bike. The latest bikes are amazing but you sure don't need the skill level needed for the bikes back then, kinda like how Fat skis made skiing powder easy.
That part is great. I picture a few hikers just out of frame staring at these guys like "w.t.f. are these guys doing??"Quote:

That's the kind of shit everyone can relate to. Just ripping around with your bud.
Awesome. Those guys are better than me. Better than I was on my 1991 full rigid. Better than I am on my 6" squish.
Awful lot of skidding in that vid.. maybe that dude needs to learn to corner?Quote:
