Killer trail. When I was a kid and used to go fishing with my Dad, people would ask him "what's biting?" He would always say "Whatever's on the end of my line." The same goes for manuals. People will ask me "How far can you manual?" I always answer " Only as far as I need to."
What a super fun trail! The drone footage turned out awesome. I finally got in some riding last weekend after nearly 2 months, not good. Lol. Winter sucks, and now we just got 2 inches of ice!
At the 7:39 mark in the video is the spot I broke my collar bone in 2010, that trail has been there for a while. It was tough getting my bike back home after that crash. I normally ride these trails from home. I had to call the wife to come and get me. I did the same ride about a year ago, such a great trail.
Nate, Morning from Montreux, Switzerland. Sure you remember the song "Smoke On The Water" by Deep Purple. That said, one of your better aerials yet having just "you" showing your athleticism! Heading home tomorrow to my my trails @ Hawes. Are you & Alex going to be in the PHX area this upcoming week? Would enjoy buying you some cold suds and dinner! Enjoy the ride! Blue skies, Jg
These huge cacti make this seems like another world compared to Australia! Though I guess you'd say the same about our trails 😂 This is some of the tightest editing you've done with the drone to date, keep em coming!
Long live DH! All for the children, like Wu-Tang.
Great video! Plan to ride this soon and having the follow perspective is helpful. The drone footage of the spine is really helpful!
Can we just say props to Nate for riding with the massive backpack and camera/drone gear and still doing all the hoppity-hops and the droppity-drops
The struggle is real, lol
amen brotha!

I like this editing style with the POV shots then rolling in the drone replay of those sections.
Glad you liked it!
Incredible footage!
Thanks a lot!
Man I got to get down there in the winter, gnar, but not to much. Right up my alley. Thanks for showing.
Love that trail. Its such a fun trail, you guys did a great job at it.
Very Nice. Cool trail
Dope footage! Just rode this exact route yesterday. So fun.
Proper bit of trail.
Great Video and sweet riding as usual. Riding this again tomorrow. Big group ride with Valley Epic Rides.
Enjoy!
I’ve said before I’ll say it again: Best MTB channel on YT. By far. Nothing makes me want to ride like a little Follow Cam Friday ☠️❤️
Get some!
Mesa looks like a must ride for the ole bucket list for sure
We have been enjoying Hawes.
Consider riding some of the trails in Placitas, NM. I did that today, lot of fun.
Nate always delivers, thanks for another one!
My pleasure!
If only there was lift access up Alps and we would have a sick bike park in the Phoenix area :)
You should start lobbying for one, haha.

Perhaps some spikes are in order.
Always nice vid !!!!
Now that's my kind of trail! Ya Hoo!
Amazing footage and great riding. Good Shit Nate !💯👍
the intro tune is the bomb
Hawes is my favorite place to ride. Although I haven’t tried this trail yet.
This is my favorite combo at Hawes.
That ridge line reminds me of the rides in Wenatchee, WA. You guys need to road trip it up here after winter. Xanadu is a great bucket list ride.
Maybe someday.

Definitely an old classic bit of trail.
So rad seeing you ride trails 15 minutes from me! Awesome job on NRA, parts of that are no joke and way more gnarly in person!
The NRA stuff is rad!
Affectionately known as "Pure Ovaries"
Smooooth AF.
Nice drone shots.
Thanks 👍

Hellllll yes, lettin’ it flow yo.
Filmaking skills now up there with your mtb skills! Such cool drone shots, and editing 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thank you 🙌

The cactus have a way of keeping you honest, haha
When you see a familiar hard to spell last name in the title you know you're in for some pucker!
Correct.
🤘🤘
You should make an MTB sleep tape. Just hum of the bike.
😍😍😍
How does the drone pick the trail sound up but you can barely hear its motor?
I'd say the audio from the chest mounted camera is synced
Yup, I sync the audio from the head or chest cam to the drone footage.
Me likey!! Me want to go there
sensacional 🇧🇷
Home trails! Great video! What happened at 6:47??? 😂
Sometimes the gimbal hits my stem.
@@natehills9388 I cracked a lens protector doing that on Sunset Ridge.
The iron goat or the carbon fiber goat?
How did you ascend to ride RMR, iron goat and sunset? I’ve tried a couple ways but was curious what is the most efficient.
L'Alpe d'Huez (aka Alps) - see Trailforks.
So what are your top 3 trails for Hawes?
This one, RMR and Pass Mtn
Thanks. I’ll try this and RMR in a few weeks when I’m there.
What shoes are you running? Are you on flats?
I run clips with Adidas Velosamba's
Amazing shoots from dron, I love it :) FREERIDAY
I think I hurt my neck.
How Alex is off the sandle when climbing is beyond me.
Short climbs are better sprinted.
The least used part on Alex's bike is the saddle
Gloveless + cactus = Yikes.🙂
Gloves didn’t save me at Hawes last week :/
Gloves do nothing for cactus but get filled with cactus unfortunately.
Wu-Tang Clan ain’t nothing…..
