The city of Kathmandu is a ceaseless frenzy of chattering vendors, garish signs, pagoda-like temples, and the overpowering smell of incense. The surrounding hills, however, tell a different story.

 Sometimes I forget that North Americans and Europeans aren't the only ones mountain biking. It's good to see our sport expanding.

 I really enjoyed this video, thanx for it, great job, very good music choice it was funny Big Grin , and the colours are wonderful, it seemed to me in some shots that this trails are bit similar to the ones in Italy, like you weren't riding in Kathmandu Smile definitely could worth a trip to there

 Seriously good edit. It is awesome to see an edit from such a different place featuring a local rider, it makes it that much cooler. If I ever have the time and money, I'm definitely going to leave Kansas for more vertically oriented locales.

 Nice one! I move to KTM next month for 12 months. Is there much of a riding community? I'm super stoked, but I will just need to find a bike when I get there.
