So many times I have been in Bali only to wake up every morning with a hangover. I think it's time to do Bali differently...

When I comute to work on my road bike wearing my old spare Giro Hex, baggies and Shimano AM45's, I pass loads of roadies both in the other direction and in the literal sense. None of them ever say hi or even nod an acknowledgment. In mountain biking, I have never experianced that. Countless times I have rocked up in a car park somewhere both alone or with mates and then gone riding with some other like minded folks for which we will ride with, banter with but never know the name of. I love it. Thats a community. PS - Im not refering to dogging here!

One of the best write up/photo journalism trips I've seen in a long time. This dude just has so much damned fun that you can't help but smile. Those pictures are so dope. You can feel the vibe.

I love the WTF shots. LOL!

Seriously man. Cam is doing it all right right now. Reminds me of Craig Kelly. Transitioned out of doing events to do video segments, trips and what not at just the right time. Really opened the world up to what's possible. All about the vibe, the experience, the people, etc.

Be interesting to see Cam and a few people put together a ride around the world trip. It would be tough on the families but it would be pretty damned amazing.

dr-fishy-noooo (Sep 10, 2015 at 2:52)

pleeeeease Shimano/Cam/Sterling - was this a private tour or was this one of the tour companies operating out of Bali?

I only ask because I was only looking at the pictures not the words (sorry Mr McCaul, I'm sure it was pure poetry)

the chill house is he name of the place. They do three options. Enduro, moderate downhill (which is just the enduro trails but with a shuttle and Bali bike park. it is about 135aud and that includes all the shuttles and bike hire (specialized enduros). they have a really cool idea where you keep riding until you can no longer hang on. the url is www.thechillhouse.com . im going to Bali these school holidays so hopefully my foot is better (i broke it and got the cast off on Monday) so i can ride here. They also offer accommodation

Very well done Anthill!
My wife and I just returned from riding in Bali. Such an awesome place - very friendly people, beautiful lanscapes, amazing food and a quickly emerging mtb scene which is exposing awesone new trails. Our accommodations were made at The Chillhouse which IMO is the must go place to stay for mtb'n (and surfing, and yoga) in Bali.

Selamat Pagi!

Wow PinkBike. This is free? This kind of content would be the feature article in any bike mag just a year or two ago, now we get it at our desktops, phones and tablets for free. Crazy good work, hope Sterling saved a few bangers for the print media boys too.

Well, I would love to but you wouldn't go on a bike holiday in Hitler's Germany and give money to a Nazi state...so.. why go on holiday to a plae whose government is shooting tribal people in an annexed country next door?

very interesting to see one of cam's "riding buddies" (guides?) on an Evil. I doubt he picked that up in a local shop... and nice stealth advertising, Shimano... I don't think anyone realized they were watching a commercial.
ps - one day I'll go to bali, but I'll probably leave my bike at home. Sweet photos though
