The Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere means nearly 15 hours of sunlight. Tannus Athlete, Bryn Bingham, sets out to take advantage of the whole day.

5:30 am: Jupiter peak is the highest point in park city, sitting at a little over 10,000 feet. Once atop this peak, there is nearly 5,000 vertical feet of top-tier single track that lead directly to Park City Mainstreet.

1:00 pm: Woodward Park City is one of Utah's most popular lift-served trail systems and the perfect location for some relaxing lift laps.

6:30 pm: To finish the day we went to Bryn's stomping grounds, I Street, Salt Lake City. Iconic jump lines as far as the eye can see.

This video was shot in one day, starting at 5:30 am and wrapping up at 9 pm. 3 locations, 15.5 hours, and 0 flats.

 Sick riding, sick video. But where on any of those trails would he have gotten a flat? I think I saw one rock and a shitload of soft dirt.

 Couldn’t agree more!

 The Jupiter Peak portion has some really rocky bits. Fortunately inserts do more than flat protection. Prior to Tannus I rarely got flats, with Tannus I rarely get flats. I think that more comes down to running the appropriate casing for what you’re riding. Inserts allow for lower pressure, meaning more grip and better tracking, more comfortable ride, retained sidewall support, etc.

 TRUTH. Granted I'm not a ripper, but I am known for picking the wrong line through the chunder and I haven't had a flat in... YEARS, like many years.

 @dirtnapped: Agreed—inserts are rad for sidewall support, especially with jumping. Carving off a jump is not the ideal spot to fold your tire over, yet it happens all the time. No squirmy lines with inserts

 Nice video, but hardly selling the tyre armor. I wear tyres out before get flats with tubless and light weight insert.
