bigboyneverleft (Jun 18, 2012 at 0:37)

mtnbiker1960 (Jun 18, 2012 at 1:53)

I agree. Everyone should have a track in their backyard&nevermind what the neighbors think!LOL! Yeah the lightning stike was unreal bro! I actually thought it was the flash from the cameras at first!

First of all the program was called " fast and furious". I'm quite familiar with it. So your insinuating that without that one botched gun running program that Mexico would be a violence free utopia? You're delusional or an idiot. I'm not going to even bother responding to your reference to that joke called bowling for columbine. If you want someone to blame for the mess that is your country look at yourself and your fellow countrymen.

For the record those were not automatic weapons. they are the semi auto versions. @ManuelMTB

Session603 (Jun 18, 2012 at 9:03)

@kaijumps...Facts don't really matter when your bashing other peoples freedoms.

Why is it such a bad thing? Guns have been around for fu**ing ever, children are given guns to fight in wars in certain parts of the world,and your complaing about a couple guys at a range shooting clay discs, get real man, a guns only as dangerous as the person holding it

wilkey (Jun 18, 2012 at 18:01)

nick moore holding a gun.... sounds pretty dangerous to me. ------MMMMERICA!!!!!

Session603 (Jul 20, 2012 at 16:39)

way to politicize a horrible and tragic event. you should be ashamed of yourself.

wilkey (Jul 21, 2012 at 10:04)

@manuelMTB. you are a dick for trying to take something this tragic and using it in an "i told you so" manner

Session603 (Jul 21, 2012 at 13:43)

I'm done talking to you. You're oblivious to facts and reality. You can keep talking shit about the US all you want.You live in Mexico.

prateek24 (Jun 18, 2012 at 10:16)

6:47 - the barspin with lightning!!! SO RAD!!!

nicktheshredder (Jun 18, 2012 at 2:35)

I went to the cabelas in salt lake city last summer whilst in utah, it was the coolest shop i have ever been in, i wish england was more like the US just for the guns.

brajal FL (Jun 18, 2012 at 2:54)

I' ve love the "going to the gun shop to give some shots", it makes it so athentical to this sport and culture, the cowboys here love that so much... I wish you can buy uzzis and mini-rockets on corner shops here in Portugal too ...

brajal FL (Jun 18, 2012 at 2:57)

it elevates life...

scott-townes FL (Jun 18, 2012 at 8:49) (Below Threshold)

^ brajal, in some countries where guns are banned they have severe problems with knife gangs. I guess that means we have to put a ban on all knives and while we are at it, why not cars? People use those as weapons all the time when they're misused, so I guess we should ban cars as well. It's called responsibility and accountability and sadly this isn't a perfect world where everyone has those two things but that doesn't mean everyone has to be restricted because of it. There's plenty of responsible gun owners out there. It's just too bad that you don't get that and will never experience the absolute joy of owning/shooting off guns.

Anyways, nick, if you liked that then you gotta visit the Cabela's HQ off of I-80 in Nebraska your next trip around... it's like a redneck paradise.

tanner-greiner (Jun 18, 2012 at 9:35)

^ Well said

MrSubaru (Jun 19, 2012 at 20:19)

haha... pretty sure that kid lives in my neck of the woods... not the only person in this area with a sick trail in their backyard... pretty common here only thing that sucks is they are not public.

virtumedia (Jun 18, 2012 at 1:43)

Wow good job bro's. That was super sick!

PeytonP (Jun 19, 2012 at 20:57)

You know a dude's hardcore when there is a Prius in the garage, dirt jumps are in the backyard, and Thor is giving props to barspins.

jimmyjones4444 (Jun 22, 2012 at 3:47)

its what it leads to I have the issue with, obviously not stating that else why would I have even left the comment fool! trigger happy with your sarcasm friend

GettingFaster (Jun 18, 2012 at 13:37)

Gun segment ruined the video for me. That's not what I log on to Pinkbike to see.

Thrillride (Jun 18, 2012 at 14:46)

Yea neither do I, but in my opinion I just thought it looked like a good time plain and simple. There are much worse things being shown on cable tv these days...

mitch1616 (Jun 18, 2012 at 14:48)

haha, Jersey Shore comes to mind.

@gettingfaster your obviously not a true Canadian....prbobaly some gay vegan that hates guns

wilkey (Jun 18, 2012 at 17:59)

Reignonme (Aug 29, 2012 at 20:04)

My boy from Revolution bikes? Does Ryan know you were out playing at Cabellas? Great vid! Thought you told me you only played in Provo!?

bikeryder18 (Jun 18, 2012 at 10:12)

wassoides (Jun 18, 2012 at 13:42)

barspin lightning strike: ah good sir I DO believe I would have shat my pantaloons!

datbiker (Jun 18, 2012 at 14:50)

I think the intro was a bit long other than that though sweet vid

TREK17 (Jun 18, 2012 at 0:04)

Extremely Sick Lines!!!

drewfis (Jun 18, 2012 at 1:11)

Was that Justin Wyper with a brake on his bike?

I didn't know that happened.

Jiffla (Jun 18, 2012 at 3:27)

every time i see Wyper i just think it's Tom Dugan riding 26's

scapegoat2010 (Jun 18, 2012 at 5:17)

wow man, sick... im stoked to see your next trip! :O

caldwellvisuals (Jun 18, 2012 at 7:06)

sick locations and amazing light. front flip off the rock was insane, as was the lightening strike-bar spin

Leaaky (Jun 18, 2012 at 8:29)

The lightning at 6:47...incredible!

simcik (Jun 18, 2012 at 12:52)

Pretty awesome edit, almost as good as their last green river trip www.pinkbike.com/video/205524

dirtnapped (Jun 18, 2012 at 15:31)

A trip to SLC without I Street?

fferreiraleite (Jun 21, 2012 at 9:28)

Wow, some pretty heavy balls right there! His argument is invalid as long as he's not capable of spelling 'they're', though. XD

Downtofilm (Jun 18, 2012 at 0:17)

So sick!

gmanfreeride (Jun 18, 2012 at 8:34)

upcyclez (Jun 18, 2012 at 12:11)

Like the yard full of hits.. How convenient.

nouser (Jun 18, 2012 at 15:04)

jgroundt (Jun 18, 2012 at 18:22)

fisher11man (Jun 20, 2012 at 16:09)

the lightning strike was god applauding that barspin

norco806 (Jun 20, 2012 at 20:02)

And then I jizzed on my bike

FranzMuhr (Jun 18, 2012 at 6:59)

"the first natural terrain backflip" .....aaaaaaaahahahahaaha

mvonhollen (Jun 18, 2012 at 7:14)

First natural front flip? Come at Chubey, Paul.

schwing (Jun 18, 2012 at 10:19)

Awesome intro, I can't wait to visit some american wasteland!

ducksarse (Jun 18, 2012 at 11:02)

Ride the Lightning!!!

capt-picard FL (Jun 18, 2012 at 8:13)

fferreiraleite (Jun 18, 2012 at 7:01)

Americans are so badass!

nouser (Jun 18, 2012 at 16:49)

wilkey (Jun 18, 2012 at 18:04)

but in america!?

fferreiraleite (Jun 18, 2012 at 18:06)

*they're.

Oh, my bad! They were so badass with those guns I could not tell the difference. But they should behave like canadians... even in redneck soil. XD

JCSmith (Jun 19, 2012 at 10:55)

Not all American's are white trash.

PeytonP (Jun 19, 2012 at 21:01)

When Anthony Messere corrects you, whether correct gramatically or not, you say, "Yes, sir. I'm sorry", and move on with your life, dammit!

fferreiraleite (Jun 20, 2012 at 11:38)

Who's Anthony Messere?

mate44 (Jun 20, 2012 at 14:26)

not sure if serius or just trollin' XD

fferreiraleite (Jun 20, 2012 at 19:55)

Sure, I'm serious....

mate44 (Jun 21, 2012 at 5:45)

Anthony is just another average Joe...

I'm a buzzkill, I know.. but it seems terribly irresposible for the Cabelas employee to hand out guns to a bunch of guys that are going to point them at each other and put their fingers on the trigger. Just sayin.. The movie moved a little slow but there was definitely some great stuff in there. The gigantic house with dirtjumps in the yard is killer.

jimmyjones4444 (Jun 18, 2012 at 4:00)

Dont get the whole gun craze, If the states lowered the legal drinking age to 18 you'd get less people shooting and more people spewing! Not that it's a whole deal better, but take your issues out on your own body not defenceless targets I say

LTmtb (Jun 18, 2012 at 15:42)

So clay discs are more valuable than humans???
