Yea, chainless rocks when gravity is on your side ! Really enjoyed this trail without the chain.. luckily it was a short roll back home with a little towing assistance from Hiroyuki. Thanks again for a wonderful t-shirt. Cant wait to see your RideOn creations !
Regards have been passed on please do likewise.. arigato !

Thanks Sammy. Was fortunate to have the chain snap where it did as not far from the top ! Wow.. how cold does Rocky get ?
mate,that's looks sweet ,your production is almost at pro level,those guys look like a right old hoot(that's a good thing btw!)thanks for sharing bud.
Thanks jedi. Really enjoying the vid making. Great way to document our riding and also as I am heading back to Oz soon... These guys are a 'hoot' to ride with !
Wow! very good allmountain vid josh! i saw you got a strange french canadien name on that drunken chiken shirt! i'm proud you are wearing it!!! awesome backyard trail!!!

Gabe ! Thanks man. You know Niko's working on the artwork for some RideOn shirts ! BTW How was the Mont Saint Anne experience ?
msa was awesome as always! we got some extremely dry/warm/hot conditions! and then i realized how much not in shape i am :p we hit almost all the trails exept the world cup one because it was to much destroyed to be riden.. (closed by msa stuff). i have few hours of gopro stuff...just didn't get a program/computer/time to put it all together! i'll probably go to an iron maiden show july 9 arount quebec and take a day off to ride msa again
that was such a cool video !! the little track at the house is sweet !! damn it, i want to come ride with you guys. .....after i get my riding back. 
Thanks slackliner. At the risk of sounding like a hippy.. Riding chainless really felt zen-like to me as it kind of left me no choice but to flow 'with' the trail even more than usual on the descent. It also taught me that on the ups you have no choice but to get off and walk which was also a humbling experience. So yea.. a lot to gain from going chainless every now and again !
Real hippies do it chainless AND brakeless, http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/5184134/ !!!
Cheers. Ha ! Not as far as I know. The mountain range undulates for a long way and as long as there are power lines nearby a well maintained access trail is also so pretty much guaranteed .
For me its a pretty convenient way to document and share the ride.. compact, simple and robust.
No problems thus far. Would be interested to hear more about some of the other ones though.. Contour looks pretty good too.

Thanks man. Yea, a chainless ride every now and again is very refreshing. Recently had a few chainless experiences as I repaired my chain without guide pins ! Got them now though so should be securely 'chained up' for a while.
What is that retaining wall system used there in the beginning of video? I dont see it any where else.........
Good question... I have no idea !
There does seem to be an abundance of different systems in use throughout Japan. Have seen many weird and wonderful retaining wall systems ranging from ugly concrete capping to really beautiful stonework and everything in between. A lot of creativity and experimentation going on as well.. would be great place to visit if your int retaining walls !
