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

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
