 I love the spectacular view from the top of the mountain. You can see the water marks on the trail and you can call it a true wilderness trail, but there isn't too much of the flow left, sorry about that brother! Happy trails!

 Yes Manny, it was such a beautiful and flowy trail, but beeing on the top of one the highest mountains on the island has its consequences, but plans are in motion to repair the trail for the summer rides!

 Yes! Happy Trails! I love the top view coupled with this song! Very nice! I agree trail maintenance is very crucial for longevity. Keeping the trail clean and free from erosion keeps bikers riding a long time. Its really tough as you can only see the aftermath of our bikes once its too late. Great video brother! RideOn!

 You're so right bro...problem here is that the bike community isn't united and are always bitching about who should do what and stuff and I get tired and sick and just want to ride with my close friends...

 The trail is a lot bigger that the film bro...it's just in very bad shape because of the altitude. We have to clim a bit, it's one of the highest points on the island. There are 3 amazing trails going from those antenas you see in the beggining! As for the 180 "Fox", as much as I would like to ride it today, without a front brake, I don't think it's very wise, hahahahaha!

 Both fox's have the same travel. The Marzo I had before had 190mm of travel brother. Though the Big Hit I have is from 2006, I belive this model is from 2004.
