Must have taken a lot of effort to move Power Hour all the way from Highland to Mt Washington...

The plot doesn't have to be good for the film to be enjoyable. I once watched this video of a pizza delivery guy's day when he was delivering to a sorority, and well...

There's so many RAW videos now you have to be unique and try something different....Unfortunately they didn't pull it off with this.....

It was bad because they lied about the whole thing. There's no trail like that on Mt Washington, he didn't race a train, and it wasn't a "rail-blazing edit" as described by the bio.

Holy crap. Since he's gone this far the owner might as well build a proper singletrack DH trail down the cog. Not from the Alpine zone though. you do not fuck with the alpine zone!

Except to build a railway through it. Right?

Actually, there are parts of Mt Washington that by the books are perfectly legal to ride. Physically able to ride, that's a different story. However it has been done, bikes on the cog and legal descent, but do your research.

The railway existed long before the rules concerning its location. They own the land that they operate on and at one time owned the entire summit. The company sold the land back to the state so the state could make it a state park. They could build a single track top to bottom if they wanted and no one could say a darn thing as long as it stays within their right of way. I would love to see more of the actual Mt Wash footage but I still enjoyed the video for what it is. Nice work!

I hate to be that guy because I respect what Red Bull Bike and Carson Storch are doing for the sport in general. But, it was kind of a let down to see Highland MTB Park being disguised as Mount Washington. It's no secret, that riders in the east are starved of Elevation and big mountain riding. A full pull down Mount Washington would be a dream come true. Click-baiting Mount Washington left a sour taste.

VT actually has some bike parks with decent vertical- Sugarbush is 1600', Killy is 2000'. And it's #$#%#ing steep at those places. Snowshoe in WV isn't too bad either

Well that was cool! I assumed it would be some other Mt. Washington out West. Psyched it was a bunch of Highland footage and then the cog railway! Badass!

I saw Mt. Washington and was thinking of the one on Vancouver Island. I was super confused as to where on that hill there was a train for a second

They should show the riding & not cut to a new frame every .05 seconds

The under the video reads like the marketing guy had too much caffeine. The first paragraph reads like an action movie trailer.
