With unprecedented access to land, British Columbia is home to more mountain bike trails per capita than anywhere else in the world. From old growth rain forests to barren grasslands, BC’s diverse landscape allows for every variety of trail to exist in one place. In BC, you can experience the evolution of mountain biking through the trails. From beaten down jumps on a vacant lot, to massive back-country booters; from first descents that have never seen the tread of a tire to machine-made masterpieces. Trails connect all mountain bikers, and in BC, trail builders are the force that bring riders together.

 My favorite for sure. Aggy is so rad! And I prefer to see Semenuk riding a trail rather than doing just jumps. And Hunters Step Up Step Down off the logs in insane!

 with all these segments being given out for free, it kinda makes me feel a bit ripped off, and wondering why i bothered to buy it in the first place, considering i dont really care if its HD or not

 Wow wow wow, i meant pot not Cocaine. If he was on Cocaine he wouldn't be riding, he would be at home laying on the couch feeling all warm and fuzzy inside without a worry in the world pondering life. And by now, probably dead. That makes me sound like a user....

 I wouldn't doubt it if he was, or ready to with a bit of experience racing at the WC level. His style is incredibly clean and there is a bunch of footy that shows he knows how to ride tech stuff... he's probably one of those guys who will slay hard no matter the discipline, haha.

 Honestly, I had not planned on buying strength in numbers but because of all these free posts I feel like I owe it to them to buy it now. You guys should at the very least sell some T-shirts or something! I would be willing to buy one to help further support you guys and as a thanks for all these free uploads!

 so im sitting in computer class watching this, and i start internally screaming in my head to go ride, im seriously pondering running out the door, home, and getting my bike to go ride- too bad my house is 10 miles away, and i have a maths test after this, and then 6 more periods and a long bus ride home until i can ride my bike....
