Video: Biking Down River - McGarry and Porter Adventure
The town of Green River, Utah has been on the MTB radar for over 10 years now. Many riders and film crews have come to this remote location searching for new and unique terrain to ride. In an attempt to access areas that had never seen a bike tire, Diamondback DF5 team riders Eric Porter and Kelly McGarry teamed up with a rambling crew of misfits to go on a different kind of bike trip. Using human powered whitewater rafts they made their way down the Green River, into the unknown, searching for the unridden.. This is what went down.
