Commencal 100% Riders Rip in California - Video

 Perhaps they own stock in the nearby medical clinic?

 way to blow that shiyt up commencal. street cred sub zero

 Sub zero... baaahahahaha awesome @sqwiby:

 Pros think they own the place....I doubt any of them have done a dang thing to help build or maintain it. It's all about the likes and the pay from publicity. I stopped showing industry people the trails I ride...

 @Loamhuck: Atherton family loves to ride and not dig. blew up our spot in a residential neighborhood too and on their lame ass youtube. channel. for the bird, tits or gtfo

 Combined with the demo at EC's trails....fail.

 @Loamhuck: Bruce and Steven have both worked on that trail numerous times

 @pbullard2017 That was the first thing I thought before I even clicked!!! ????????

 So funny when all the pro/semi pro boys blow a spot the f*ck up w no digging and even help keep it a secret. Meanwhile the super duper dope secret spot withers because no dig no ride no pro no ride no swag no ride @Loamhuck:

 @titoholt: lol do you have any idea about the Athertons. Do a two minute search and you'll see how wrong you are - id guess they dig more than maybe any pro.

 @kleinblake: I am very happy to hear that, good on them! I wish that was the same for other situations like this. It happens all too often and really takes it's toll. Pro's should really help with grassroots trail and access issues since they have the biggest microphone. That would tilt the scales a bit...

 Such as different riding culture in here, where all the downhill trails are illegal.

 @Loamhuck: most of DH pros are builders or use to build to get higher level. Take a look at the Rampage athletes or the local rippers posting trails they build social media.

 @titoholt: I guess you've never been to Wales then........?

 If this trail is so secret a bigger step might be to remove it from trail forks.....

 @titoholt: YOU MEAN TED WILLIAMS, you're talking about ted williams right?

 @russthedog: not on my trail they didn't. I worked my ass off all winter to get shredded and lost to pros blowing up the spot in a private neighborhood. the people were sick of the huge vans and parking ect. I don't have explain, youre just a pro hoe. go get pegged by Rachel.

 @nojzilla: nope. but they've been to my spot.

 @jewpowered: no, it was a rad spot we had going that very few new about. its shit now that the residents shut it down.

 @titoholt: I was just kidding, obviously we are at a complete loss for local trails. I have been working for years with GP and local coordinators to work towards legal riding spots and throwing dig days in on local spots. It's certainly a dog eat dog mentality here, I don't blame people for wanting to ride, but I also understand builders apprehensions.

 well Vital calls it trinidad colorado, but pinkbike cant be seen to be stealing all their content from Vital or learning from their morals so they probably thought they had to change it up a bit with the brilliant "lol lets call it the real name bros" idea.

 @chup29: but commencal is the author

 @poozank: dont logic me

 lolol I've fallen for that line a few times trying to figure out where this exact trail is. Guess now I know!

 It very certainly is

 the problem is pros not building. happened on a trail me and my boys maintain with the Atherton nerds.

 You joke but this does happen. Or people show up can’t do the trail so they modify the feature to their current skills. Or someone who has no business being there gets hurt and you have a legal fiasco. Don’t be naive.

 Might want to bring an ambulance as that is not an XC trail. There are so many ways to break bones.

 @poozank: like TED!!!

 You'll be let down. It was not actually Crestline.

 man you Canadians are nerds. you probably don't J walk either.

 I didn't see that as a Problem at all. Them parking along where everyone's parked with their trailer and handing over their Bikes to anyone who wants to Demo? It would definitely would've looked just like another weekend when about over a hundred riders parked along the street then riding their rigs to the trail head. Can you really tell someone was there for a Demo? Hahaha!

 @jsev23: It's one thing for riders in the community to ride trails built by riders in the same community (and kudos for the builders), it's another for a foreign company not involved with the community and trail advocacy to take commercial advantage of other people hard work. It's especially rude when it's a company selling chinese products and not supporting local bike shops and other local businesses.
I would not care for my neighbors kids playing in my fontyard, I would if a business stealing our jobs would organize events there. My 2 cents.

 "It's especially rude when it's a company selling chinese products and not supporting local bike shops and other local businesse " WOW that's some serious stuff!
@max2max: Chinese products? you mean built in China or Taiwan? I don't about you but if you turn the majority of the Bikes upside down, there's a big tag saying "maid in Taiwan" on em, specially Carbon frames. Intense a local and US brand, don't let that fool you, their frames are built from Taiwan!
So should we not allow non local riders(LA,OC,SFV) to ride the trails? But I don't think you really got my point. I said, what's the difference "riding in from Mapleton along with other riders who rides there regularly?" come on now, you denying that there's more than 100 riders out there on a good Saturday? If I may add, one of their Pro rider is actually from nearby town and he does and have done plenty of trail work in there.

 One of the most underrated Maiden tunes for sure.

 Yep. We need more old school metal in vids for sure!

 @Rubberelli:
underrated? its like the most popular one

 @Rubberelli: always liked this version www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmjoxCa-gH4

 @Asmodai: To you perhaps. Here are the 18 Maiden albums that went Gold and Platinum. Fear of the Dark is not on this list. www.riaa.com/?s=Iron+maiden

 This is mountain biking, and people who enjoy mountain biking on this particular trail would like to be able to continue to do so and therefore would prefer its location be kept off the internet. It's been filmed a lot and that is why everyone else who's filmed there has omitted the location. This is not the first mountain biking trail to have this etiquette and it won't be the last. It's not hate, people are pointing out an issue that Commencal needs to step up and fix. I don't think the criticism is being directed at Dillon, but if he is the one who slipped up and included the location, he should make sure it gets changed.

 @Geerumm "purchase the land and throw up some fencing if you wanna keep it private"
Mt bikers are penniless hippies!

 @brihaf: I get your point, but ultimately what you are saying is... "keep it hush so I can continue riding illegal trail." Two wrongs don't make a right. As for posting the location... the PB comments have pretty much narrowed it down to longitude/latitude. The only thing left is to add a pin drop on Google maps

@Snowytrail: That's cool if you prefer slow-mo

 @geerumm: Yes, that is what I am saying. Welcome to the world of unofficial mountain biking trails. If we all keep them off the internet, we can continue to ride them. Guys like Bruce and Steven can keep training on them. If you think its wrong to ride unofficial trails and choose not to, that's fine. But these guys obviously ride this trail and Commencal chose to film a video on it, so the community of other mountain bikers that ride it would appreciate if Commencal would follow the generally agreed upon etiquette and remove the location. The comments are in response to the fact that the location is named in the title of the video.

 I was referring to the 95% of comments are coming from Californians. Thus narrowing down its' location. These are the same people who complain about droubts and then cry when there's too much rain (I was born in CA so I have the right to call them out). Trail etiquette?? I used to think it was a problem in North America, but now that I'm in New Zealand I can tell you that it no longer exists. The world is huge and there are tons of places to ride. Legally. Furthermore, if you're breaking a rule and/or law, then you have ZERO right to call-out someone else for their actions.

 Much love!! Great video thanks for sharing!!! Motivation for the upcoming season ????????????

 @geerumm: welcome to the world of DH video edits!

 Down in VOE!

 @Mickerz: Shhh. Used to sneak on the tramploines too and ride the empty pool across the street.
