    This is the best way to get better at jumps, a day of play on the bikes with friends. The sound off those tyres on the dry trails is sick, sounds sooo grippy.

    I think it is so cool that you offer encouragement for riders that are learning or not as skilled as you, whilst still having fun.

    It’s so awesome to see you out on my hometown trails!! I’ve learned how to ride on these trails and I love seeing other people enjoy them too! Much appreciation to Mike and all the builders out there!

      Hannah Smith hey; where is this trail? It looks like one I’d really like to ride and spend a day at.

    Those shots other than the usual pov shots really tie the video together and make it really sick and fun to watch. I definitely like the new style! Its always awesome to see how much stoke bikes bring you man!

    Fun stuff, reminds me of some of the best rides with my buds just messing about on random features. That little chirp your bike makes is starting to drive me nuts though, I can only imagine how insane it must be making you!

  • @geoffreyfowler9198
    @geoffreyfowler9198 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Those away shots of sessioning features really adds to the video!
    I was all “check out the geezer on the bmx bike.” Then I was all “Daaaaamn!” Props to Pops, both for skills and putting in the work!

  • @gravityfighter6667
    @gravityfighter6667 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Quite humorous to have a tire last a full season - out in the South West, tires last no more than a couple of months - most of the tread gets ripped off the carcass. Great riding brother. Keep the progression going.

    • @The_Sampler
      @The_Sampler  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Don't thank me dude, thank my friends!! It's always so cool to have some extra help in getting those angles because it really ads a lot to the vid i think. BRAPPPPPP

    Great video btw :D

  • @truthxbexheard1

    Live free, ride hard and get stoked!! Thanks to you I’m taking a trip all throughout Texas next month to hit up all the trails. Truly an inspiration alex not to mention I’ve dropped 25 lbs and have gotten into shape thanks to these videos of you and Seth! Keep up the great work bro :)

    Alex, so sorry I did not see you on the visit to Croom....been following for some time and appreciate your videos. Hope you will come back to Croom again. Great group of guys here that ride and Mike Cole has done amazing work creating Drunken Monkey. Lots of fun if you are looking for a place to ride halfway between Alafia and Santos!

  • @knordberg
    @knordberg 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh Alex, I can think of so many worse things that could happen on that hip up to the narrow trail. Like the back tire missing and it sucking you backwards down into the ravine. Great riding guys.

    • @The_Sampler
      @The_Sampler  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      We had that happen a few times, but our weight was always on the other side, so even if the bike went down, we stayed up!

  • @Geordo1960
    @Geordo1960 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Man that trail was making you work real hard for it! For the life of me I can’t figure out what’s causing that squeak in your bicycle. I kept trying to figure it out throughout the whole video. I think Joe was particularly impressive when he stuck that landing on that thin edge by the tree. That last attempt he did was so perfect. I mean really he couldn’t have done it more perfectly!! That trail kind of seems as though it was very unique and that guy who is working on it should be commended on such a wonderful job. It looks like a very challenging trail and looks like a good place for people to develop their skills. The people who work on the trails are just angels! Hopefully one day I’ll be able to go out and work on some of these trails and learn the art of trail making. Right now I contribute money to trails in my area and they really appreciate it but I don’t really feel like I’ve done very much until I get out and actually help work on building them. I’m a little scared to because I feel like now I would be more of a hindrance than a help to them.

    You should come check out the trails at Oak Mountain State Park in Birmingham Alabama. Over 22 miles of well maintained trails. We have green lines all the way to black diamonds. I would love to get a chance to ride with you and there are a lot of riding craft brewery’s opening up in the Birmingham area.

  • @chrissmith2729
    @chrissmith2729 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Alex, check your pivot bearings. I know you don't typically ride in the wet like we do up here in Bellingham buy I be had my Release 2 for less than a year and my front bottom bearings were completely seized and the squeaking I had was from the axle rubbing. Also, there is a tolerance issue on the upper front pivot being really tight. Hard to place the axle back in without a newer tapered axle. Not sure if the carbon addressed that issue. I recommend regreasing every moving part on that thing.
