    I actually made a video of this 14 years ago. We filmed with a video camera with a remote lens and all sorts of cables leading back to the backpack. No GoPros at that time. Had a wonderful 480p video quality, which at the time was high tech. lol What amazes me going back and watching this is how much smoother the trail was back then. Still had technical but you couldn't hear anyone grunting because of the crazy jank. You guys flew down it. Good times.

    • @natehills9388
      @natehills9388  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cool to watch Apex go through it phases of smoothing out and then getting rough again. Every time I go there things are very different. Keeps things fresh!

    James probably rarely needs to replace the front tire. He’s never freaking on it!

    dude, 4:15 you guys are bookin'. The line choice from enchanted forrest down to pick n sledge was so fun to watch, many of those I would never have considered before (probably still won't cause you guys are going waaayyy faster). BTW still waiting for the full enchanted forrest video... (with strava times...?)

    If James could defy gravity and figure out how to ride with both wheels off the ground constantly he would. He pretty much rides with one wheel off the ground at all times. Great ride from both of you.
