Hey...let's keep this rated G shredder. Sick ride, kinda jelly right now

It's an extreme sport Very thrilllllling

How good is it?!? Waiting for my new bike to come in the post. Although, my new bike, a hardtail, would not be a comfortable ride down here, at least until Elk Park. That looks fun as hell.

Cheers Anumodh!

Have fun!

Huron is definitely on my list. Stoked to check out some of the more obscure ones.

Breathing through a straw. My zone, haha.

I bet you had just as much fun as we did! Glad to bring back some good memories for you.

Alex, I was at CMAS in ‘93 and did this on a rigid steel bike, too. With shitty center pull rim brakes. Wore a helmet, though. The bad part was that I hiked up it earlier that day and was supposed to meet some friends at the summit and ride down with them but they left before I got up top. I met them around timberline, they told me my bike was in the truck…so I rode down solo, no cell phone, no nav, no one with me and had to haul ass before it got dark on me. Brutal day. But yeah, I was 23 and immortal, so yeah…

@@billparrish3888 Good story dude! Great hear from other OG’s out there! 🤘

Cheers.

Proper turn initiation right there.

Enjoy the smash!

I'll give him a scratch for ya.

Seemed appropriate somehow. Thanks for watching!

Haha, he could have discovered so much more by bike.

Yasssss! Love Fish Creek. So rough!

Yup, drones emit sound. I think the visuals are worth the bee swarm.

@@natehills9388 Not a critique. Just an observation. Great riding! I would hurt myself on the face I think. :-)

Enjoy that thing!!!

Nate Hills You bet!!! If I remember, I’ll try to find a way to post a link to a picture with it when it finally comes. I can do many things, but computers are not one of them 😂

I have had a proper tour of the N Conway trails from my homie Peter O. So good! Granite and roots.

@@natehills9388 hell yeah! Of course you've already been there haha. Those trail builders know how it's done man.

Only 7,700ft to Manitou!

User name checks out ;)

It is about 7700ft into Manitou Springs. We didn't change pressures, but the AXS app actually said the tire pressures changed by 5psi from top to bottom. Very interesting.

@@natehills9388 One must be cognizant of pressure changes on big descents like that because if you start out with too little pressure at the top, as you get lower you'll end up having less than optimal pressure and risk flatting on rough stuff. Typically this is never a problem because most of us never get to go on a ride with that much elevation loss, so in this situation it would have been best to set your tire pressure at the high point and compensate by adding a little more to adjust for what you want your optimal pressure to be at lower elevation. Back in my early days of mountaineering, we didn't have GPS devices for navigation. I would rely on topographic maps to navigate in conjunction with an altimeter. The altimeter reported elevation based on atmospheric pressure. We had to know that the altimeter could be in error based on changes in atmospheric pressure due to elevation. One could set the altimeter to the correct reading by compensation and knowing the actual elevation from using the topographic map at a known land feature on the map. For example if I came to a known feature on the topographic map, I could enter the elevation that I was at so that thereafter the altimeter would report correct readings. Lots of times if I was following someone's route description, they would report an elevation at which to change course or look for a feature so it was important to keep the altimeter accurate. The altimeter served as a secondary check to confirm one's position.

Been a while since I have ridden that one. Need to check it out again next time.

...when its not on fire. :(

I'll have to check out Longs Ranch Road next time. All about that sketch jump life, lol.

@@natehills9388 Yeah, my back yard too. I was wondering if you guys climbed back up Elk Park before coming back down. And yes, try out Long's Ranch Road next time. Don't be fooled by the term "road" ;-)

Top notch bit of trail.

Cheers Eric.

Cheers!

Glad that one worked out. We went late in the day and with the Incline being closed, the place was empty.

Thanks for watching JD!

@@natehills9388 After 31 years of hammering I took a spill 3 nights ago and broke my neck. Bell makes some really good helmets man saved my life. 😊. Keep Hammerin pete...!

It is. Get out there!

Only the sweet sound of damping. Music to my ears.

those donuts will fill you up for sure

40mm for me.

Welcome. This is completely normal, haha.

the ride from elk park to manitou is like 14 miles if I remember correctly. But if you do the plummet it is 26 miles. If youre headed this way i would recommend hitting up Ute valley as well. Cheyenne canyon has some nice trails too. There is a ton of riding around here

If you show your receipt, they let you back up for free to get your vehicle

These are my go-to on all the bikes.

Nate Hills what model are your grips? They have a lot to choose from. I’d like to try them

This has been in development for a couple of years. Proper testing grounds.

Definitely worth a rip! ZEB is the best suspension product of the last 10 years. Period.

@@natehills9388 is it really a pound heavier?

We had a driver so they let us through. No parking up top due to construction. We were in line for the gate at 7:00.

The Incline is closed. Makes all the difference.

This was 2 laps.

It is roughly a 7000ft descent. This is all Pikes Peak.

Pretty much. Encouraging bad decisions.

Just eat some of the home made fudge from the store at the top and you will be sorted, haha.

Nate Hills lol I saw the fudge and thought about it but I was in a hurry to get back to the bottom I was feeling so bad!

My Skydio 2 follows me.

We rode Barr because the Incline is closed. There are better ways down when it is crowded.

I would say that ZEB has your name all over it.

That wouldn't last very long, lol.

@@natehills9388 Yeah!

Wohoho
