WTF are you talking about? All these guys ever did was just a few skids.... And besides, trails are built to be ripped and shredded, and I'm saying that as a trail builder myself...

When did skidding out on the trail become cool or acceptable? We used to call these knuckleheads "skidiots". You might build miles and miles of trail but this kind of riding discourages land managers from allowing mountain bikers to use multi-use trails. "Shredding" and "Ripping" might feel very macho, but its terrible stewardship outside of the designated bike park. ...it does sensationalize a video, but makes no sense in the real everyday world of trail riding.

I said it was my best but I didn't say I was good at it. I probably could have drawn out the very, like verrrrry nice maybe that would be better. I'll practice and give it another go later

Yeah lets see how much we can skid down this beautiful trial. HACKS!

Its not skidding. The rear tire is un weighted so it goes into a drift. Still its for effect. It appears to rip up the trail when you do this. So how about doing it once or twice in the movie. Not every other corner.
They are not hacks. Still im tired of slash style of riding. Did you notice the kid was the one doing the slashing? The older guy had no trouble keeping up to him.

Fully concur. A couple of drifts are cool enough. Repeated drifting implies not giving a sh!+. Why not pop off a couple of roots and do some air drifting. Slick trails and nice riding though.

I couldn't look past the masses of cables on his handlebars! I kept trying to count them.

7 lines. 2 shift, one dropper, two brakes, two for the "twin loc" It's a goddamn mess on those machines. god forbid you set it, forget it, and have a good time. So much tech these days.

Love it! Licking my chops. Although not riding yet, the trail maintenance/building process begins this weekend. Giddy up!

"Slash style riding"? What you mean with a big black hat on?
