- MY NEW YETI- bit.ly/YetiSB1...
The Colorado Trail never disappoints. I have not met a section that I did not enjoy. The most used and eroded hiking trails make for some of the best and most natural MTB trails. #followcamfriday natural trail doubles for days with James Weingarten and special guest, Botsy Phillips. Interesting fact, Botsy is the first person to ever be filmed when FCF began, almost 5 years ago. Glad to see that nothing has changed. This is Wheeler to Spruce Creek to Burro, descending 3000ft into Breckenridge.
Where are you riding this weekend?
Malibu, CA bikepacking trip!
Crested Butte!
Davos switzerland🤘
In Indian Streets😂😂
Santa Cruz, CA!
Really interesting (to me) watching this video I focused in on the legs of the riders. What an education watching their knees work the balance and control.
Let her buck indeed! Looks like the zeb saved the day. That downhill just went on forever and just got faster and faster. Too much fun!
Wow.. What a amazing trail.. Single track, Rock Gardens, DH... Perfect!!
The best!
Love starting my weekend to this!
Getting you in the mood.... haha
Wicked ride!
I took a drink for every "yeah". 2 things happened; I got drunk and y'all shredded.
I like your strategy.
I rode a trail to the Wheeler Monument but it was out of Lake City. Pretty cool formations. Looked like the top got knocked off a volcano. The ride you took looks like such a long, amazing DH. Love those high altitude rides you do.
Singletrack into the Wheeler Monument has been designated Wilderness area now. I was probably the last person that rode that trail.
Love the audio when Nate gets excited!
Peeking
Yeah!
So rad. And I wish I had James’ balance and style on a bike. It’s like an extension of his legs.
did this same route for the first time on monday at about 1/2 the speed haha love it!
Dang. We did quite a bit of trails in Breckenridge last week! I am going to have to check some of these top of mountain down trails out. That was a good line of trails!
7:42 Love seeing the wild Colorado Poop Bag in its natural element! They're a rarity these days!
I see more masks on the ground than poop bags lately. The poop fairy has been busy.... hahaha
@@natehills9388 Haha now we just need the mask fairy to step it up
Who leaves poop in a bag on a trail? Better yet, who’s pooping in a bag?
@@jeffpower6473 dog doody
Will be in Breck for two days next week, may have to check this one out!
Just superb.
Would really like to ride there. Awesome looking trails!
Some places look like the alps! beautiful ride, beautiful followcamfriday as usual, GG
Sweet trails - nice.
Damn it, Nate... All of these Colorado videos make me want to move there!
Don’t, it sucks
Nick it's a terrible place. Check out California instead
Don't let the crusty locals scare you away... haha
It looks better than it is, Frisco Bike park is awesome but the rest of the trails here have nothing on Bellingham or Squamish.
Another nice trail
Well sir....i have learned a valuable lesson. Altitude needs to be respected! It kicked my ass, I did everything wrong !! Im going again, but half as high first.
In my mind , I am still young and invincible . It is the only place . Be safe bud!
It's all in the mind. Age and elevation are just things. ha
@@natehills9388 yep I'm 57 , still ride park and climbed Mt Rainer a few years ago
Me encantan tus vidios
Your videos are great!
Incredible!
Had to take a break so I could comment on this footage. Insanely rad definitely sum of best post Coronavirus on YT. Thanks for sharing 🎉🎉👏👏👍👍👍👍👍💪💪
I love this trail. I wouldn't mind if you uploaded a ride on it every year
This is our first time riding this bit. Definitely won't be the last.
Ha! Kept my high elevation ride series going with a fatbike up Boreas Pass in Breck last wknd. Wheeler Trail looks good, need to hit that sometime.🤙🏻 Maybe Rollins Pass or Mammoth Gulch this wknd.
User name still checks out.... haha
that was fun 🤙🎯
Yea boyz!
Dig the hi mountain epics...
Ridin the pine for a few weeks. Broken.....🐕
Heal up!!
So close to 200k!!!!!!!
I would love to see you come to the southeast and ride Brevard, Pisgah and Dupont National forest area. Also we have 2 gnarly bike parks that you'd like. Windrock in Tennessee and Baily in North Carolina.
Love Your Videos, Man!!
I climbed up Wheeler last year, definitely the wrong way to do it 🤣Just finally became a Patron 🍻
Thanks for the support! Yup, Wheeler is a reasonable brutal climb. I did it last week for the first time. Ouch.
Likely my fav vid for various reasons 🤘🏼
sweet!!!!!
Lol, I did that trail the opposite 2 weeks ago heading to Frisco! Talk about hike a bike!
I did it that way last week too. Solid climb.
Surprised you went that away instead of the other direction downhill.
Sick video, sick trail 🤘
Sick... Vid bro...👍👍
Hey Nate the Great..I might be wrong but I might have skied some of that terrain.... To be honest it looks more fun to ride on a bike..Breck's terrain was a bit to vanilla for me
The flattest ski runs make for the best riding.
almost 200k subs!
James is the only rider Ive seen that can get 3 feet of air from a 4 inch root.
Can’t wait to do this one! What ever happened to the video of Seth following you in Moab. I can’t find that video anywhere.
Many "a" derailleur hangers been lost in those woods boys.
Geile Tour .. wie immer 🤘🏼
шикарная трасса
🌞
What camera are you shooting with?
I am a biggest fan of this sport I like your doing those extreme tricks. How is your thrill on those wheels??
Did you shuttle this? Perfectly doable on a 130mm full sus?
What espresso machine do you have? Do you like it?
I have a Breville Dual Boiler and an Oracle. My DB just died after 10 years. I would buy another.
Gotta ask: What bike(s) does James ride? Flats or clips? Is his non-profit still doing well? Did you guys ride non-stop down the trail or take some breaks? Great vid as always.......keep 'em comin'!!!!
I think he is on a Hightower. James always rides flat pedals and he is still in business. haha. We stop here and there to enjoy the surroundings and clean my camera lens.
It's been a few videos since I made a James comment so I figured I was overdue. I've never seen anyone ride who looks so completely out of control and in complete control at the exact same time. I watch him Plinko down a trail and think oh this is for sure the time he goes down, but then with his bike sideways from bouncing off a baby head, he'll just boost a double off of nothing, skid turn and keep right on going. It makes my brain hurt and I could watch it all day long.
I never get tired of chasing James around in the woods.
Peak 8 lift closed this year. Sucks. Any tips for getting to some Trails like wheeler to descend back into/near Breck town?
Pedal access is open.
Nate Hills thanks. Went up there yesterday and up here all week. :-) lots of trucks coming up the access road
Hey Nate do you have any tips for riding extremely loose terrain and preventing front wheel washout? Out here In the Eastern Canadian Rockies there's not a single trail without marble/baseball rocks.
Don't use your front brake.
Hello Nate, do you mind saying if you use a tyre insert? If yes which one, please? Thank you!
I don't run inserts.
Breckenridge ! My race “Breck Epic” got cancelled this year due to Covid 😭
Mountain biking is not cancelled. Enjoy!
Nate Hills : You didn’t use a drone this time. Breck doesn’t allow a drone ??
@@canmtb4676 Do you prefer the drone footage over POV?
@@natehills9388 I sometimes like to see both, then we can see your body position on the bike while you ride over certain different features.
Nate Hills : A footage captured in both POV and drone stands 2nd to none. Not one person can carry out the project but it really attracts audiences, IMO.
Yo Nate. I’m about to buy a SB150. However I’m stuck. I’m 5’10 in a half. 165lb. Should I go medium or large?? I’m in between sizes on Yeti’s size chart.
I currently ride a Large Santa Cruz.
You could go either way. I am 5'9" and ride a medium.
Where can I start this trail ? Looks awesome
Hello bro I'm from Mexico but now I'm visiting a friend in Breck and I'm a big fan of your videos, is there any chance to get the full route?
Yo bro, we climbed peak 9 to Wheeler and descended to Spruce Creek and Burro. Classic Breck loop- webmap.onxmaps.com/backcountry/map/query/39.4610956,-106.0693963/overview?id=cc94e3ac-8fb8-5790-847e-e2c20f8e6f6d
Amazing job! Did you shuttle or ride up?
I think he said “yeahhh” but I’m not quite sure.
Could someone confirm for me?
Hey Nate, after watching your videos I'm very interested in getting a mountain bike, but I'm unsure whether my ankle will permit it. I started road cycling as it was one of the only sports my arthritic ankle would allow (a surgeon messed it up during a surgery), and I love it.
How much strain would you say mountain biking puts your ankle under? Do the bikes have so much suspension that the impact is always soft or is there a substantial impact?
Thanks!
Hard to say. Maybe you can try one and see if it works for you.
@@natehills9388 Yeah I guess I'll rent one and find out. cheers
how does he bound so effortlessly, is he just a few lbs more than the bike? please sensi, teach us....
Skills for days! Legend, that James.
Cara você é demais
I live in Colorado im getting my mountain bike fixed up, u know good places for beginners?
where did you start from Copper?
We started on the breck side. Copper works too.
what is James steed of choice for these epic rides?
I may be wrong but I think that is a Hightower.
Dab of the day @ 2:52
Song from the starts name?
It's crazy to watch James how he can get nice air of nothing, its kind of easy to understand but to watch how is body reacts in some situations is crazy, he can bends in spots what normal person lost it after first 10 months of life, is he artificial intelligence ?!? Great fast riding, thank you , cheers V!
Gumby has skills.
Do you clip in?
Always.
Sb130 in that vid?
Riding my 150.
@@natehills9388 cool thx. Ive got a t2 150 with bbinfinite bottom and axs in the works now as my next build. Bunch of guys telling me to do a 130lr instead but i already have a mid travel bike and need more bike for steep gnar trails
Where’s the stages computer gone mate?
Soquel demo forest
Guyot circumnavigation... French pass to Georgia pass
Love that one.
In streets 😂😂
can we get a James bike check
Santa Clause.
Love your videos but your intro music is too loud...
What camera did you use ? Did u use a gimbal?
