    There can be only one. Agua Caliente takes the cake. Tucson, Arizona has a ton of world-class riding, but Agua never ceases to amaze me. Make no mistake, it's hard to get up there and you will be bleeding at the end of the ride, but I think that is why I love it so much. Riding with Josh Tostado is a humbling experience as well. For an "ultra" guy, he sure knows how to ride his bicycle fast down one of the roughest natural tracks in the world, lol. Always a pleasure chasing Toast around. You can check out his CZcams channel here- / @joshtostado6365 It really isn't a surprise that Josh has won more 24 hour races and ultra events than almost anyone alive. His raw speed is mindblowing. Next time you want to put a certain type of athlete in a neat little box, think again. This is what makes mountain biking so rad. Legend!
    This was ridden on my Yeti SB160.

      That looked awesome! My favorite video is your Hawes Sunset Ridge video with the drone footage. That may be one of the best MTB vids of all time👊

      @davidlambert3647 Před 3 měsíci

      A great ride! It's been a while since I've done it that way. I usually prefer to take the connector all the way to Milagrosa and go down that

Some gnarly and chunk riding in the desert mountains. Hope to see some drone footage as you continue though the spring! Sweet ride brother & Blue skies in AZ.

    Love your videos Nate! Only recommendation I have would be to make your titles a bit more descriptive of where you're at and what you're riding. Something like "Agua Caliente, Tucson, AZ". I know a lot of people including myself when we search, search for an area or trail we plan on riding if we're not already subscribed to your channel. I think I would have found you sooner to be honest. You have really quality videos and I think more people would like them so I hope it being easier to search for your videos would get you more views!

    • @natehills9388
      @natehills9388  Před 3 měsíci

      Thanks for the feedback. I do have a video with Agua Caliente in the title from 2021, so I guess I was trying to be slightly different. But I hear you, the trail name is normally in the title.

    Cool to see the Hightower handling business. Do you ever try your friend's other bikes unofficially Nate? Just to feel other suspension platforms. Did your friend on the Hightower upgrade to a 160mm fork? That was definitely rowdy, great stuff, crazy deadly cactus on a narrow path, land of the brave!
