Back on the home turf now in good ole Alaska, different terrain back in Alaska vs Whistler, trying out the new chesty mount for the GoPro, shooting in r4 with the new "upd" patch. Winter is coming quick, snow @ 5000ft already.

Damn, that looks scary and fun at the same time. About how fast are you guys going when going downhill? I've been looking to get a MTB for myself, but I don't think we have any trails like that here in SoCal. Thanks for posting.

It depends on the sections, 20-30mph in some of the faster sections. Just dont get affixiated on an object and youll be ok, scan the trail way ahead and it happens alot slower in real life.

awesome trail. I used to mountain bike a lot when younger in college upstate, always loved it and miss doing it now. what kind of bike is that

 

[Third Honk]

I love mountain biking. I've made some stunt trails around my house but the down hill looks like a blast. What kind of front suspension do you have? I need to upgrade

 

[CobraBob]

Wow Allen, I give you a lot of credit. I knew mountain biking could be challenging, but wasn't expecting THAT. Looks like fun, in a sick sort of way. LOL!

Be safe!

Pretty awesome video. That looks like a rush!

 

[Speeds8erM-1]

I was expecting to see some power shifting on the mountain bike, sucka! That does look fun, but I would be wearing jeans or bmx/dirtbike pants!

What bike do you ride and is it a single speed down hill bike? Did you ever go on the trails over near range road when you lived in florida?

Ironhorse Sunday...8" of suspension travel. your not pedaling this bike anywhere except down a hill.

Nice man. Did you ever go on the trails in shalimar / fwb area of range road? Been hitting those up and I was surprised with some of the elevation changes for Florida.

Looks like fun. I've never ridden anything nearly as rocky as that, especially a downhill bomb.

 

[03LCalgaryAB]

Looks like fun! From the beginning of the video I thought the whole trail was going to be like a rock garden.
