Hello my friends! So I recently had the opportunity to ride in Ohio in an area called Wellsville. This was probably my favourite riding area so far because it was so technical and the hills and obstacles never seemed to end! It was extremely challenging at times and a ton of fun. Prepare for a lot of heavy breathing (I know this seems to be a common theme lately 😂). I hope you guys enjoy the video!

Cool video! I started riding Wellsville in the late 70's as a teenager. When hard enduro hit the radar screen some years back everyone touted it as a new extreme sport. All of us Wellsville riders were like ...."what! We've been doing that since the 70's? I know you ride out west. Its beautiful . I rode the Colorado 500 in 2001. We did 720 miles in 5 days. Just beautiful. I miss Colorado!

@@IRAfallon gopro 8 should be good on default settings, i would enable hypersmooth. aside from camera settings - youtube destroys picture quality when you upload. I recommend uploading at a resolution of at least 1440p. Even if you record on the gopro at 1080p, you should render / export it from video editing software at 1440p or higher. Then when youtube re-encodes it on their end it will look much better than something uploaded at 1080p. You'll mostly notice the difference during high speed motion/ lots of changing detail. race drone videos have to deal with this too! But if you're not going to render the video after recording it, then just record at 1440p or higher and then you can upload directly to youtube for good quality.

First of all, I thought the borders were closed. What's up with that Meg? Second, trail maintenance please. If you enjoy this pastime, get out and repair trails. Our small group, "The Lucky Seven", keep our trails secret and in good repair.Those rutted downhills show over use and little thought for future riders. Having said that Megs, I love your spirit and videos.

This footage was taken in Ohio. I live in British Columbia. When I am home, I put in tons of time building, clearing, and maintaining my local trails. When I am travelling, I first of all do not carry shovels and picks and whatever else you'd use to fix up things like ruts and water damage on the trails. But second of all I am travelling to train, collect content, and teach clinics. Maintaining the areas that I visit for a day while I'm on the road doesn't make much sense to me. I do my part at home when I have the time and the means to do so.
