 That was really well put together. Editing was good and I like the music. tup

The trails were crazy though. Those natural features were amazing. Wish that was my local loop!

 You should make your own videos then you can make the intro a short as you want.

 I don't much care for riding 29ers but that was a great little edit and I'm now stoked to go hit some local trails! Awesome job!

 i did purchase a 29er xc bike few weeks ago. It has major advantage and disadvantage. when it gets steep and technical i way prefer a 26 inch. but when trails are not too hardcore it is super efficient! road bike for trails!

 ^^ I did a demo ride with our scott rep on a spark 29er, i found it a little challenging on tight uphill corners but really eats up the terrain on the downs. so i totally agree.

 The beauty of south Ledgeview!

 I'd say that you have about as much talent, patience and eye for great angles of any videographer I've seen come into the scene in the last while. And to shoot a trail-riding video instead of the same old same old other videos really breaks you out from the pack. You should be proud of this effort. Although, how the heck are you going to top this?

 Good job im glad to see some of our valley trails getting recognized specially the south side of ledgeview one of my favourite local rides!!!! !Chadsey lake trail would be nice to post, or any other one up Sumas mtn. hey maybe next time.

 Hey Bob, i once saw a sick photo of this trail in the gallery of BIKE, the photo gave hint of a very flinstone feel... i live in revelstoke and have been on a mission to find this trail ever since a saw that photo. I've been to ledgeview a few times and have even found the flinstone trail but never came across all that epic rock landscape that was in the photo and in your vid... in you can give me a hand in finding this gem of a trail i would be super stoked!!

 I agree there are amazing trails in the valley. Burke, Woodlot are awesome. That trail looks stunning, epic and rad. Props to the builder and this video is sweeeet.

 great video. quite challenging as XC isn't as action packed as other MTB disciplines but this one was just awesome. and the music went well together with the vid.
  • + 3
 Great song to pick... Massive Attack - Paradise Circus. Goes well with the riding. It makes me wish i was out there riding, escaping all the problems of the world.

 AmbideXCrous and Autobahn are featured in this vid. Both connected off of XCelerator. As the builder of those trails, I am blown away with how you were able captures the beauty of that landscape, the challenge and the eccense of the those trails. Levi you have such an eye for what makes guys want to just get out there and ride. It wasn't over top or in your face. Its just great and inspiring, a fantastic video. I want to get out and ride now.

 This is actually in Abbotsford. Ledgeview is the mountain and he works at Life Cycles bike shop. There's a sick mountain in Chilliwack right near Cultas lake too though.

 Abbotsford, eh? I would have never thought that city or ther area can offer such amazing scenery!
I really like it a LOT! Another spot on the map to visit for sure, sometimes it is good to take a break
from that DH style, this kind of ride looks very inspiring!
Thanks a lot for the info!
