When scouting lines from a distance, it is hard to tell what type of dirt you are dealing with. Sometimes something can look really good, but turns out to be to firm, or to loose to ride well. This can be especially frustrating when you are hiking 1000+ ft to get to the top of your line. Bourdo is the type of guy that isn't bothered by these kinds of details. He just rides it all and lets the filmmakers sort out what is "usable".
