  • Imperial is the newest addition to the ever growing Chestnut mountain bike park catalogue of trails, and like the other entries, this trail ROCKS, though it sets itself apart from the other flow/jump trails by offering more of a true singletrack vibe akin to something you might find out in Pisgah or DuPont...
    Hope you all enjoy this trail preview, and even better yet I hope some of you get to go ride it sometime soon!

    Hey brother. My wife and I watch for several reasons. We dig your choice of content, your character, and pure joy for riding. We like viewing your process for working up to a trail feature. Another thing that occurs to me is that your choice on when to talk and how much. I hope you continue to follow your gut and do what you need to in order to maintain the balance you need in your life. I think that contributes to having a good attitude which comes through in your videos. People are attracted to people who live in a joyous way. You do it how you need to and hopefully it works out how you want. Cheers mate.

      Hey Marty, I very much appreciate that brother! I've been working so hard on that balance and think I just might be finally getting the hang of it, which is exciting for me as well because I too want to be able to keep doing this whole crazy thing! Thanks for the encouraging words 🤘

    What do you think of the fezzari rebranding? I started with a cascade peak and have been on a Delano peak the past couple years. There was a lot of commentary about how atrocious the name “Fezzari” was and it feels like they caved to the pressure. It honestly makes me less likely to keep repping them whenever I am due for a new bike. I always refer to my bikes as alloy fezz and carbon fezz. Oh and my princess bride shout out “fezzik are their rocks ahead?” is no longer applicable

      It’s a heck of a bike! I’ve only been able to ride it a few times since I got it, but it’s so freaking smooth. Only gripe I have is that the Shimano chain is already rusting, whereas my hardtail has a KMC that I’ve used for years with no issue. I hope you love yours!
