    Here's something we can all agree on...

    THIS is REAL mountain biking!



    Dirt starts around 8min but I recommend just sitting back and enjoying the show.

    That. Was. Awesome.

    The riding, the music, the lack of go pro so you can actually see what someone's riding for fuck sake,

    Total win.
    Do I detect a lot of anger flowing around this place? Kind of like a pubescent volatility, some angst, a lot of I'm-sixteen-and-angry-at-my-father syndrome?

    fuck that noise.

    gmen.

    seat up, narrow handlebar, steep angles, skinny tires, weak brakes. imagine most riders today trying that.

    or trying .

    does it make you wonder how Eli can be so good?

    Back when people were getting into extreme sports, because they were actually extreme.

    Love the rock crawling around 12 min in. Took a ride on an old mid nineties bike of mine this summer, feels like a death trap now, can't believe what I used to ride on that bike. The latest bikes are amazing but you sure don't need the skill level needed for the bikes back then, kinda like how Fat skis made skiing powder easy.

    That part is great. I picture a few hikers just out of frame staring at these guys like "w.t.f. are these guys doing??"

    I think my favorite part is at around 4:40 when they are ripping around the city and get to the big stairset..pause.. then pogo stick up that shit like a boss then go rippin down the stairs and drift around the dirt path and almost stack it into some random people and race off. That's the kind of shit everyone can relate to. Just ripping around with your bud.

    Awesome. Those guys are better than me. Better than I was on my 1991 full rigid. Better than I am on my 6" squish.
