    We're back for another ride with our Canadian friends Erik BCPOV and Van Girl Yuka, except this time we are at the Beech Bike Park for some DH laps!
    Though we are all on trail bikes, we are also joined by my friend Andrew who just recently got himself a full on DH bike and is utilizing it to terrorize even the double blacks... But this turns out to be perfect because now we can get him to tow us into everything!
    This was a super fun day out on the bike park, one of only a hand full this year for me, and man did it feel good to finally find the courage to ride everything here!
    Hope you all enjoy coming along with us for this amazing day of riding.

    Watching your videos is like watching my inner spirit from when I was a teenager, stoked to go riding every day after school. Now that I have a job, kids and a mortgage that inner spirit still lives within me.

    Just built a cabin 5 minutes from this lift if you guys ever need a place to crash. It's really cool to see you shred the local park. Cheers and love your videos as always!

    You are doing better and better all the time. Stay out of your head and follow your heart. Awesome, Alex, and you are a benevolent young man with others around you! Blessings, and God loves you, too! Thanks for your videos! Fun riding with you since I can't. I ride a motorcycle!

    Just want to pop in and say that LMNT saved my bacon recently. I was packrafting in Moab, and we broke down our rafts and hiked to the top of the Canyonlands mesa (12 miles and 2100 ft) in a day. We finished at the top dehydrated and hurting. LMNT is usually way too salty to drink most days for me, which means a whole box was waiting in the car for us. It tasted like Mana from Heaven. When you really need that salt, your body knows it. That stuff is great to have around, even if it seems too salty trying it in your kitchen.

    Can you consider in the near future making an episode with the lone aspen wilderness on a single track that is not too commercial? There were some single tracks episodes way back when you had Sheila that I recently rewatched , which makes me want to watch more of your OG adventures from back in 2017-2018 :)

    @loamtrailer805 Před 10 měsíci

    Beech is a good bike park, small and the lift is slow but the tech there is pretty gnar and the vibe there is awesome. Cool to see you riding there. Live in Charlotte now so its the closest lift assist. Haven't rode Sugar yet so I can't compare.

  • @michaelmann3636
    @michaelmann3636 Před 10 měsíci

    You don’t have to know the trails exactly, and there is no way to memorize everything anyway. You just have to look farther down the trail and go with the flow.

    • @KarstRats
      @KarstRats Před 9 měsíci

      Parks tend to stay the same but open new trails or it may get smoother if they resurface but other than that you can definitely memorize bike park trails for the most part. Some roots might be more ate out some days and sometimes they might have been packed in by dirt moving in rain but its still going ti be in the same spot. Its just rough vs smooth that you can never guess about until you ride.
