      Yes dude! Thanks a ton for the tour. Also, re-watching the footage, that ridge line you and Tommy rode at the summit looked wild. I'll have to send you the clip.

    I remember there used to be a really cool part of Memphis that ducked into a sort of valley and you could carve up and down both sides, using them like massive berms. Does that still exist? I also recall a big (for me) rock drop to pretty much flat. This is all going back to 2005ish, so it may have been re-routed. Good work Matt!

      Hey man! So I don't remember a valley section on Memphis (or maybe I was still in shock from the upper steep section that I forgot) but we did see the huck-to-flat which still exists, but the crew I was with said it's not even worth it to attempt since the landing is so rough lol.

      @@MountainBikeMatt buck to flat definitely not worth it! They rarely are. It’s been so long I may be thinking of the wrong trail, but back then there wasn’t very many trails to begin with. Memphis was the main one. It’s a shame the camera doesn’t capture how steep it really is.

      Yeah, I was blown away how steep it was, and then I watch the footage and was like "wait what..."

      That rock drop hurts my ankles 😅 but it's still there, still no landing.

      Haha, thank mate! I did get a few people double checking that I actually wanna ride my trail bike and I'm like "unless you're giving me something else, than yes!" I will say it's been through a lot, and even though its been breaking down a bit recently, its lasted a lot longer than I ever expected it to 😅

    Very cool Matt; I've been meaning to get out here. So the shuttling, I understand you drive up obviously. How does it work tho? Of the 3 of you did one guy drive you guys up. The driver returns to the bottom, you guys decend, then the driver switches and you carry on? or did you guys have a 4th person who volunteered to drive up n down for the day? How hard would it be to peddal up?

    • @dallaspov
      @dallaspov Před 3 lety +3

      Typically, but with just the 3 of us we did retrievals with another truck. The pedal up is pretty brutal haha!

      Haha, thanks man! That means a lot. Honestly, my best advice is to make sure you're always having fun doing what you're doing and if people end up liking your videos that's a bonus :) I hope you have a fantastic rest of your week, and happy riding!
