You have to hike a bike to get to the top. The 45 minute hike keeps the trail OG. Smokey dropped it late fall. Steep rock faces. Rad moss.

VOD for sure that trail was so tech, i bet it looks twice as steep in real life.

shredtheshore (Dec 28, 2008 at 0:03)

zzoot (Dec 28, 2008 at 0:11)

Awesome VOD. One of the best in days. Riding was top notch, trail was top notch and so was the filming/editing! Great one... -ep

Looks like VOD- you're killin' it again, I like the trail and the bike - you can loode it in the mosh! BTW what's the peak featured in each of your vids? Looks super tech to get on top and always covered with snow, high alpine...

dexterrobson (Dec 23, 2008 at 0:57)

ktmpaul111 (Dec 28, 2008 at 0:26)

I love how you filmed the trail top to bottom, it probably took you forever but it was well worth it....... VOD in my books

agreed... pick up the pace.

karlheldt (Dec 28, 2008 at 13:51)

video never shows how steep a trail actaully is. he wasnt slow at all!

bvfreerider (Dec 28, 2008 at 14:01)

Seriously? Just b/c he's not going mach-bacon or flip-whipping a drop you think it's boring? Such high standards...

industrymike (Dec 28, 2008 at 20:51)

Seriously the guy can ride fast! Tech sections don't always require you sending it over them.
BTW....a giant sticker sheet...not paint. Definitely sick!
Go Smokey.

QBIX04 (Jan 1, 2009 at 15:07)

freeridenthusiast (Dec 28, 2008 at 11:32)

what the hell do you retards want, just cliff drops and backflips

Norco-Jeremy10 (Dec 28, 2008 at 12:22)

that's boring as f*ck! i'd rather watch grass grow

shondo (Dec 28, 2008 at 15:34)

Boring? Then you've obviously never ridden real tech trails. Posers.

[Reply]

freeridenthusiast (Dec 28, 2008 at 11:36)

This vid was awesome, definitely some ill tech-gnar sections, my favorite kind of riding. I could ride that everyday of my life, the crash at the end made me laugh

[Reply]

freeridenthusiast (Dec 28, 2008 at 11:38)

how the f**k could you say thats boring, you really need to lay off the bike porn and get a true appreciation for downhilling

[Reply]

too-old4this (Dec 28, 2008 at 12:12)

apparently some pinkbike users only appreciate a video if it's chock full of flipwhips and indian airs....perhaps they should stick to bmx....or learn to love MOUNTAIN BIKING....

but what the f*ck do I know.

fugger (Dec 28, 2008 at 12:26)

louis2468routier (Dec 28, 2008 at 12:43)
