Looks so smooth. I like the way he wasn't going at it like it was a race, just taking his time. It's the best way to ride.

 Great video Kevin! I've decided that a transition bike will make a good "Congrats on finishing medical school" present for myself! 2 and half more years to go..... sheesh...

 Nice shredding of the Galby-Gnar Kevin! I miss Bellingham so much now, nice showing of my favorite trails. Kudos!

also, nice job hitting the big gap on mullet, that thing has me so sketched out. :-)

 nice good vid. the only thing that was annoying for me was repetetive camera angles. almost every shot was just the camera staying in one place. shot after shot. i would have liked it better if the camera followed him more often cux then you get longer clips and get more variety in the camera angles. but a good vid none-the-less

 narley is spelt 'Gnarley'. jst like gnome. its a cool word cz it has a 'G' at the start.

i agree with the berms, they are sweet, i have a transition bottlerocket, those bikes are so smooth and take such a beating, its increadible. just hop on one and you instantly jst want 2 go pump the berms and ride some shore
