definitely a part of MTB people should really experience at least once.

that said, a "full moon ride" is kind of meant to be a low key, zero light thing. the point is for it to be a mellow ride with your buddies, navigating by *only* the moon light. the time for a night rip is actually a new moon. when the night is as dark as possible. blaze up 4-5000 lumens and let'r rip! such a rad sensation, and you will be amazed at how fast you actually(not feel) you are. the lazer focus on literally only the 30-40m of trail in front of you, and absolutely nothing else is freeing in a way you cannot describe to someone that hasn't done it.

all of that said, I also get why you can't film in absolute blackness. lol

Nice one, Nate. That’s the first time I’ve seen anyone ride West Wall at night. Makes me miss Hartmans a little.

My friends and I started doing night rides in the beginning of the pandemic to avoid trail crowds. It's been a weekly 22mi loop using headlamps for over a year now, the trails are so much more challenging in the dark when you're exhausted.

Love Nate Hills! Laid back and tons of skill. If you haven't checked out his YouTube content, you should.

You know you could just film this in daylight and do the night bit in post. Put a blue filter on and trace a couple of lights across the frame.

Shooting in the dark was no easy task. Nate Hills crushed the riding though and made it easy.
