Hey guys, Steve from Chasing Epic here with a quick update. Obviously, things are very different right now versus back when this trip took place, and because of the current CoVid-19 situation all of our spring trips are rescheduled until the fall. We are currently working with our existing clients to re-book their trips to make sure everyone gets exactly what they signed up for, regardless of how much we have to adapt to make that happen. We've got dates set for our new summer and fall schedule and once things in the world stabilize enough, we'll release our revised 2020 trip calendar (hopefully in the next month). Additionally, we've got a new location and dates set for our fall trip with Alex, and that will be announced as soon as humanly possible too. We're all itching to get back on our bikes, and we can't wait to ride with everyone again soon!
It's been said already in a few different ways, but my perspective is that the sun has set on vids that are only pov trail content. There is always a story, always a way that a ride makes you feel, always a different way to make the shot, and of course there is always a day when you can come back home to the old pov content. My personal favorite though is seeing friends ride together, seeing the bond, the different ideas, and different progressions. I'm glad you have dug deeper, made the leap, and really hit the sweet spot, you are killing it. Have fun man, and thanks for taking us on the journey!
ALEX is amazing!! I am so glad he is back and posting again. Recently I have watched a ton of his videos. Alex has inspired me to get serious about Mountain Biking, I bought a Gopro a little while ago, and now I am making outdoor TH-cam videos all the time because of him!!
This isn't old content, that's just where he has gotten to in telling all his great stories from last season. And you would know that if you payed just a tiny bit of attention dude...
I Love of your style of videos man. This is so much better than just watching people ride, although I enjoy that too. This tells a story and gives you the closest experience to riding without actually riding. Keep up the great work. This video was awesome!
I have had Jake as a guide at Gooseberry Mesa. Best MTB day of my life. So far. I remember Steve saying," You will all be better mountain bikers after today" and he was right! Good times.
It's crazy how far a bad crash can set you back mentally. I'm kind of a solo rider - I don't have a lot of friends to push me through it when my confidence is shot. I'm seeing more & more why I should have some riding buddies, you guys are awesome to each other - I need that.
It seems this video last forever, so much stuff happens and there's so much value in those 16 minutes compared to your old style. Don't get me wrong, I loved the old video releasing schedule, but if it's what we get each time we listens, I'm in. Tremendous work Alex \m/
@@thomascraig3533 Exactly, it's the kind of "adventure" video that I would watch more than once compared to something like "a guy riding a bike at different places" which is basically more of the same. + the panorama is amazing!
Hit up St. George a few years ago. Did a badass Utah trip. Hit St. George. then drove hwy 12 to Green River and over to Moab. Multiple national parks, camping, hiking, biking, and offroading.
Man, I just binge watched majority of your playlists a day before. But trust me, these 18 hours of editing came out way more fun than any other videos. Great man.
This looks like the most fun ever! A huge group of riders just knocking out trail after trail with the best attitude come hell or high water! You guys are awesome
Alexander, I'm so glad you are back my man! Your videos are always a blast and you crack me up. This looks like a heck of a time, and I didn't breathe for the entire time you were showing the wreck!
I understand this took place before the covid-19 situation but its good the see you back doing what you & I love doing .... riding & editing content .... you are one of my favorites Alex 🤘
Hi Alex 😃 Just want to tell you that I really enjoy your videos especially that I am recuperating from ACL, Meniscus surgery and tibia fracture from a spill after a table top jump. Your videos inspire me to look at what is to come once I get back on the trails. Keep up with the great job. Tell Seth I enjoy his videos too and Seth and your videos are the best in all TH-cam. Live Free Ride Hard and get STOKED 🤙🏼
The Singletrack Sampler well I am 4 months after surgery and just started to ride my bike on the road and it felt great! I should be cleared to ride the trails in Late June and in August I move from FL to NC, can’t wait and hope to meet you and Seth one day. Maybe even chase after you guys down the trails since I am not as fast as you all 🤙🏼 Thanks for replying it meant a lot to see that you actually read the messages.
Stoked to see you out riding again and producing videos. Have fun at Seth's house and I can't wait to see more videos of you hitting some of the stuff out there on Berm Peak.
John displayed some good, hard won crashing skills there. He tucked his lead arm in and took a painful hit to the body instead of breaking his collarbone by landing with an extended arm.
Ryan Campbell well I’ve fallen like twenty feet onto stone on my collar bone didn’t even hurt the next day my collar bones just cannot be injured for some reason lol
Feel good moment right there. Needed that. On lock down with no electricity on top of that. My local trails are a 100m away but right now it's not rideable (Québec province so fat bike season done and not ready for MTB but even so they shut down access due to that damn covid) Thanks Alex. Glad your back.
Hahahaha this video makes wanna have my next bike sooner than expected. Awesome video as usual. LIVE FREE, RIDE HARD AND GET STOKED!! The loudest and coolest final ever
This makes me soo hyped to get out and ride! I just want this lockdown/Quarantine/coronavirus melarky to go away now so we can ride again!! Thanks for keeping the Stoke alive Alex!!!
I can relate to the confidence after getting hurt. Tomorrow is 7 weeks since fracturing my L5 spine, sacrum and my pelvis. I started riding easy stuff about 2 weeks ago.. technically not cleared to ride yet. I was told 12 weeks until I am 100% though I think I am way ahead of schedule. I have a feeling I won't be taking any risks for a while. Last place you want to be right now is back in an ER with this corona virus.

I’m looking forward to more trips in the future! Stay safe man
Liked the Hall Ranch clip.........
Somebody fell off gooseberry Mesa today..... for real.
@@robbiesharp311 good gosh really?

This was only 15 minutes, but felt like a whole documentary! Great job Alex 🤙👍🤘
Quail Creek MTB I thought that too, it felt really long 😂
My wife and I are sitting here watching this together and she asked me.... is this what you do when you go ride with your friends?😂 OHHH YEAAA BABYYY
Felix Elizondo that’s awesome man 😂
The Jesus of mountain biking has returned
He's a day early, easter isnt until tomorrow 😂
UltimateSimulation depends on where in the World you live
@@williamschultz298 as of right now it's still tomorrow even for the zones ahead of me, for me it's friday right now so 2 days

That is super awesome, I am checking it out right now!
This is pretty sick dude, thanks Alex!
I love that all the mountainbiking channels are posting old content because they can’t make it now. Keep it up
seth bike hack?
His trail is literally in his backyard
This isn't old content, that's just where he has gotten to in telling all his great stories from last season. And you would know that if you payed just a tiny bit of attention dude...
@@vildt-balgastronomiskteamb7084 chill man. It doesn't matter. Why you gotta be so aggressive
Benjamin Carlsen don’t be too rube this could just be coming back up in his TH-cam recommendations
Thank you Alex, it's fun to have you again !
I Love of your style of videos man. This is so much better than just watching people ride, although I enjoy that too. This tells a story and gives you the closest experience to riding without actually riding. Keep up the great work. This video was awesome!
Holy shit, the new style of videos is really something else. I was as stoked watching this as everyone in that video.
I have had Jake as a guide at Gooseberry Mesa. Best MTB day of my life. So far. I remember Steve saying," You will all be better mountain bikers after today" and he was right! Good times.
Sp stoked to have ypur videos back!!! I sure did miss them!!
Thanks for the virtual vacation. Sorely needed right now
John your a legend bro. Props 💪
Nothing like some sts peer pressure to elevate your game!
It's crazy how far a bad crash can set you back mentally. I'm kind of a solo rider - I don't have a lot of friends to push me through it when my confidence is shot. I'm seeing more & more why I should have some riding buddies, you guys are awesome to each other - I need that.
You are unbelievably wholesome and I love it
LOVING the new video format!!!! Keep It up!!!!!

I am watching it a 2nd time to get it all

@@thomascraig3533 I have watched it like 6 times now
Great video Alex glad your back! Group rides are fun and encouraging.
Good to see The Sampler back! KEEP LIVING THE DREAM!
Hit up St. George a few years ago. Did a badass Utah trip. Hit St. George. then drove hwy 12 to Green River and over to Moab. Multiple national parks, camping, hiking, biking, and offroading.
Good to have you back dude!! The best MTB videos by far, come from you! Be safe! Regards from Mexico City!
That big rock roll after 10:30 looked like a sheer drop from a certain angle
As a Utah native I'm glad you enjoyed the visit! It's the perfect state for mountain biking!
Man, I just binge watched majority of your playlists a day before. But trust me, these 18 hours of editing came out way more fun than any other videos. Great man.
Gooseberry Mesa is one of my favorite trails of all time. Thanks for bringing us with you, Alex.
Love your enthusiasm!! Great video!
Great video as always.....much needed escape during this time. Thank you again sir.
Massive shutout to your videos. They are so high-quality, I’m always excited seeing a new video on your channel! Keep up the good Work!
You've done a great job of summing up the spirit of the MTB community. Well done all of you.

Hi Alex, glad you are back. This is the kind of video that got me watching you in the first place 👍 “live free, ride hard and get stoked!”
Yep those trips are a lot a fun and a great value with all the perks. Nice vid! 🤙
Awesome vid. The part with you and Brule going hard was great. It was cool to see everyone from the trip again. I can’t wait for the next one!
How is Alaska treating you? Schools shut down?
@@brulej - Life is good. I'm a distance teacher now. Fatbike crust riding is epic, but breakup is right around the corner!
@@johnnotestine805 I see your strava rides. Keep it up.
Great video, cant get enough of this. So inspiring
Your stoke is infectious!! Love it!
Let me say right now that your Video-Making skills have improved SO MUCH. This is giving me "Mahalo my Dude" vibes rn. Keep it up!
Saying that I miss your stoke and videos is a VAST understatement!!! Miss ya bro, glad to see you back in action!!!
This looks like the most fun ever! A huge group of riders just knocking out trail after trail with the best attitude come hell or high water! You guys are awesome
Great video! Welcome back....keep em coming!
Alex, the MTB TH-cam Phenom . Always stoked during and after watching you. Thank you Alex. Much appreciated bro. Keep living the dream.
One of the best trips I’ve ever had and wonderful video. Thanks Alex!
Can't wait till all the mess is over, and we can ride with friends again.
These edits are looking mighty fine! 👌👍
SO much fun and enthusiasm! EXCEPTIONAL! 👌
Big group rides/camps/hangouts on bikes are epic!
Alexander, I'm so glad you are back my man! Your videos are always a blast and you crack me up. This looks like a heck of a time, and I didn't breathe for the entire time you were showing the wreck!
Honestly, name a community happier than the biking community. You guys are all so positive!
Croxo , it’s so awesome to share the ride with buddies, and new buddies. MTBing is one of the best feelings ever.
I want the longer version of this! Give me more footage! Riding! The boys! The beers! The bikes!
I understand this took place before the covid-19 situation but its good the see you back doing what you & I love doing .... riding & editing content .... you are one of my favorites Alex 🤘
The best thing about these videos to me is the level of excitement and stoke you have to get out and ride. great work man
Glad to see another video brah! Been a long minute...hope to see some future shredding from you. Your an inspiration to a lot of us! 🤘🏻🤙🏼🤘🏻🤙🏼🤘🏻
Spending 15+ hours editing a video after a couple months off! Love the hardwork man! Happy to see you doing what you love again!
And that was just on the final day! I'd say all together video probably took 70 hours or so. Having a great time being creative again 😁
It’s good to see you posting new content again.
That looked like an awesome trip! Glad to see you back on youtube.
It always makes u feel better when u crash to hear someone yell...
*DONT WORRY! I GOT IT ON VIDEO!*
Hi Alex 😃
Just want to tell you that I really enjoy your videos especially that I am recuperating from ACL, Meniscus surgery and tibia fracture from a spill after a table top jump. Your videos inspire me to look at what is to come once I get back on the trails. Keep up with the great job. Tell Seth I enjoy his videos too and Seth and your videos are the best in all TH-cam. Live Free Ride Hard and get STOKED 🤙🏼
I feel you man, I've had surgery on both knees for the same stuff. Dont slack on your PT! Hope you heal up soon
The Singletrack Sampler well I am 4 months after surgery and just started to ride my bike on the road and it felt great!

That was amazing! Welcome back STS 🤘
Utah is beautiful. The desert is a wonderful place. Thanks for making this, Alex!
Great to watch vid. Real and gnarly but top-notch production.
Nice to have you back!

Nice video, looked really fun. Missed you dude 👍🏻

Half the reason I watch this channel is his laughter, he gets so stoke. I love it and makes me want to get out and ride.
poor John! lol.... SO well put together... and I loved that the story was about everyone else.. great job dude!
I need to stop taking inspiration from @thecrashingdad.
@@brulej yeah... cut it out! lol SO glad to see you recover back to the point of shredding hard AF!🤘
It's great to see you back Alex love your videos...
So excited to see fresh Sampler videos on the channel. Alex your stoke is infectious and the reason I'm back on the bike!
Dude! Seriously need to ride wit you someday. Your energy is infectious! I'm stoked just watching your videos!

Looks like the trip of a lifetime!! Amazing!
Alex: "i've never seen som many colors!!"
Rainbow: "Am I a joke to you???"
Me: "You only have seven."
Your story telling has gotten so good!! I love the quality and the editing in you videos these days. You've come a long way from the pov vids.
Awesome Man. Thanks For the relief. Nice Video!
You guys turned chasing epic into epic acquired!!!
