They should have called it the Santa Cruz V8.

I think that song was on a Fat Wreck Chords compilation from when I was in high school. I remember only listening to it when I was too lazy to skip the discman.

You must have gone to high school in the late 90's?? Fat Wreck Chords was the best.

T-Bot FL (Nov 28, 2017 at 2:41)

The bands Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. They do a mighty fine punk cover.

@T-Bot:
Check out rocket man from the Wade Simmons section of Shift.
Awesome old school free ride video.

I still find it strange that Roval/Specialized sponsor Ropelato for wheels/tires but Santa Cruz is his frame sponsor. I wonder if the wheel and tire package is a carryover from his Specialized days, it’s just weird.

Rider656 (Nov 29, 2017 at 8:48)

Once you ride specialized tires and wheels you will understand the why.

Trudeez (Nov 29, 2017 at 11:23)

@Rider656: I do ride roval carbon wheels and occasionally specialized tires. I’m just saying it’s weird t me that they sponsor him for wheels and tires, but not frames and other things (accessories, protective, apparel etc).

Rider656 (Nov 30, 2017 at 8:52)

@Trudeez: i don't know the answer. I was just giving props to specialized for wheels and tires. Have you tried IM'ing him? Most people respond now a days. If he does get back to you, let us know.

Never enough footage of that duder.

mtnrush666 (Nov 29, 2017 at 15:22)

Would like to see Ropelato and Ratboy team up on a video. Santa Cruz please send the two to a sick riding location over the winter for a video shoot.

morgie (Nov 27, 2017 at 13:59)

Me first is great.

gspjute (Nov 29, 2017 at 8:49)

There used to be two DH trails above the B - this one and another that used to be used for the NORBA race series back in the day. Nobody rides it anymore so the entire bottom section is washed out and overgrown.

cliff-huckstable (Nov 30, 2017 at 18:46)

There was never a NORBA race series held there to my knowledge. It was one of the tracks in the local Utah DH race series. It took a fair amount of tuning up each year to get it ready for the race.

barbasb (Nov 28, 2017 at 8:15)

somebody tells him that he's forgotten the 911 at the top of the trail...

pinhead907 (Nov 27, 2017 at 12:47)

Nice video!

kingsx (Nov 28, 2017 at 0:05)

Love everything about this. Made my Monday worthwhile.

rojobikes801 (Nov 27, 2017 at 13:00)

Eastwood promised me that car...

Lagr1980 (Nov 27, 2017 at 13:56)

that bike must be alright......

RedBurn (Nov 27, 2017 at 15:51)

whatyousaid (Nov 27, 2017 at 14:42)

Who put the B in Bountiful?

noisette (Nov 27, 2017 at 16:14)

i'd really like to say it was bitch ropelato, but i have the feeling this comment will be bellow threshold pretty soon... it's a joke people! it's a jooooke!

Coldspringer (Nov 27, 2017 at 21:10)

Could have just thanked Warren Casey

listeryu (Nov 28, 2017 at 0:57)

happy to drive that shuttle for you any time :-)

cski1 (Nov 28, 2017 at 3:00)

Nomad!

luis-beri (Nov 28, 2017 at 3:59)

911 the most beautiful car ever made!!

RedBurn (Nov 28, 2017 at 10:34)

its also the biggest false flag attag in history ! no physical planes ever hit the towers, it was a controlled demolition of the two WTC towers and building 7!

JoseBravo (Nov 29, 2017 at 17:13)

wasn't this guy supposed to barely ride?

Aneijodefamilia (Nov 30, 2017 at 16:24)

Ahhhh, now that's good music! Take note

smokingtires (Nov 27, 2017 at 12:51)

Squaw Peak?

hamncheez (Nov 27, 2017 at 15:40)

Bountiful. Although I don't know why we don't build up lower squaw peak to be the same, either on the existing (but really rocky) DH section, or by rebuilding the whoops DH to be a good flow-jump DH trail like what they have up there. It would be great early/late season riding thats easily shuttle-able.

IllestT (Nov 27, 2017 at 14:11)

Is that a 964?

barbasb (Nov 28, 2017 at 8:13)

911 SC?

kerberos FL (Nov 28, 2017 at 4:26)

That song comes as if it is the star in this vid, way too present and demanding. Wrong choice.

nvranka (Nov 27, 2017 at 17:46)

sweet - this is in Utah?

Konashred1013 (Nov 27, 2017 at 12:52)

This video is kinda rip-off of the Madeira dreamin with Ratboy

Not that I don't like Mitch riding - he is awesome

RedBurn (Nov 27, 2017 at 15:52)

Because there is a bike on a car ? Dude

GawiQ (Nov 28, 2017 at 1:31) (Below Threshold)

@RedBurn: Small sports car - not any car. Dude...
Also the way it's recorded with aerial shots of Mitch cruising at the beginning, then rowdy riding shots using arms and sliders, ending with some fun on the city street. You are a fool if you can't see and admit that this was at least inspired by the video I mentioned.
I just don't like copying and repeating someones ideas just for the sake of views/likes/shares.
