arm off the back of the chair makes you feel a little bit safer
I used to sleep on these
you may notice the title of the video is my first downhill trail
it's not technically my first downhill trail but it's the first lift access one and usually
when people are talking about downhill, that's what they mean.
I'm not expecting to clear all the jumps, I'm not expecting to go very fast, and I'm
expecting to get pretty tuckered out.
But, I'll go back up to the top and try it again.
You think you're good on it?
I think you'll be fine.
Yeah, I'm just not gonna go fast.
Oh man, this is not smooth.
Whoah this is fun.
Oh my god this is so much fun.
Cased that one, so I'm gonna case this one.
Oh my god this is so fckin fun!
Not taking the big one, taking it easy just barely cleared that one
I've got to admit, I'm a little scared for foolishly hitting this trail with no full
face helmet.
ugh, Case Mcgillicutty.
Oh hell no!
I'm not even going to try to clear this.
I'm just one of those guys that's getting in everybody's way.
Oh this is cool, this is like singletrack.
Hornet, oh I ended up on another trail.
That was awesome It wasn't even that my hands were hurting
so much it's that they were shaky—like weak and
I was like "I'm not even going to try to clear these" so I just dialed it back.
Sweet!
But yeah I'm not ashamed to say, I was scared.
Pretty serious line right there.
I think it's been done too.
I remember somebody was talking about it.
If we take the next lift up, there's a section that—it kind of looks that bad, but it's
not, and they did it in one of the videos and you'll see where it's scraped out, like
the vegetation is scraped off the rock.
Let's not do that trail.
I'm following Mike down a trail he really likes here I'm going to try and keep up.
Oh yeah.
This is my kind of trail.
What was that trail called?
Angry Pirate was the top, then the last fast section was Samurai Pizza Cat.
Samuria Pizza Cat?
I would never be able to remember all this.
Taco Chinchilla—they all have weird names.
That was steep.
So any time someone's riding with a gimbal and you can see their chin, you know it's
really steep.
This is the life Pretty amazing
It looks way worse from up there I think
Yeah I'm gonna go for it watch out for the loose rock
it's chasing us I could see why they rate that a double black
come down here get up a little speed
huck it Tech Noir
Mike's taking a line around the right side how am I gonna?
I didn't think that one through I should have followed your line
at least when you're going slow it's easy to bail
broke my chainstay cam, bummer Mike's ridden all this stuff before and I
didn't follow his line, I thought I had a better idea and I paid the iron price.
So that was my first time at any downhill park, and it’s safe to say I liked it.
I have no idea how many runs we did that day but eventually I left my camera and backpack
behind to just enjoy it.
When all was said and done, my hands, arms, and upper body were wrecked, and I still wanted
to go back for more.
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed that.
I know I did.
Thanks for riding with me today, and I’ll see you next time.
