Nice and flowing just the way I like it! Nice to see people doing urban biking that is normally only done on BMX/Dirt jumper bikes.

How is it nice doing urban biking on a mtb when it's so much better on a Bmx

MmmBones (Dec 3, 2015 at 18:19)

Because it's subjective @Dude1005 , That's how.

It's cheating

It's not cheating? City riding on a suspension rig is way more difficult. However I completely agree that if I'm heading out through the town I basically am always on my 20 cause curbs, ledges, and everything else is way more fun.

Cheating? I didn't know there were any rules? So if I ride my mt. bike through my neighborhood with my kids how many points will I be docked? Only golfers are worried about cheating @Dude1005

MmmBones (Dec 4, 2015 at 19:02)

Golfers are a bunch of cheaters!

What a great video!

I ride my mountain bikes in the urban setting for the same reasons shown in the edit. I ride the streets; I ride the trails; I ride the jumps. All in the same ride and on the same bike. How boring it would be to only be one thing. And how poor the bmx would be on the trails.

This is standard San Diego stuff. Rad trail, road connector, crazy fast rocky chute, DG path, sweet 5-10 minute XC segment, road connector, another crazy rocky chute. So much good stuff out here if you know where to look.

NorthcountyAM (Dec 3, 2015 at 21:48)

Just depends where you back yard is located Punky

Alexdeg (Dec 4, 2015 at 3:51)

Awesome riding! But So Cal soo needs some rain; here, have some of our torrential downpour.

dropoffsticks (Dec 6, 2015 at 6:21)

Don't know about SoCal, but in Northern California we actually got a couple storms recently!! Not much but it's a start.

vhdh666 (Dec 5, 2015 at 6:28)

nîce skills
but one skill is missing .... staying off the rear brake
way too much skidding done on purpose

mathiasbutzke (Dec 3, 2015 at 15:46)

realy good ! made my day

wheelburnin (Dec 3, 2015 at 17:22)

Those are great trails for being a high density housing area. He rides right past my old house in one of the shots.

I found the mood sad on some level. I've lived in places that lacked elevation, it gets old real fast. You try to be like Danny Macaskill, or in my case at the time, Hans Rey, but you ain't, so the scene gets old fast. Bike is overbuilt too for the terrain. Kinda-like driving a tank over a soccer pitch, you can do it, but you could also make do with so much less. Sorry don't get why folks love this vid.

Corrado0329 (Dec 3, 2015 at 16:10)

Great skills and lots of guts (no pads). Super cool concrete stair jumping at the end.

ozzijay (Dec 3, 2015 at 20:01)

Nice video Wish i had such good trails on the door step

Urban freeride is so Enduro.

connorinchilliwack (Dec 4, 2015 at 10:50)

Rider killed it. Videographers killed it. Concept killed it. Awesome work!

alexjohnson39 (Dec 5, 2015 at 17:55)

Yeah, great, real-world shredding. And the eucalypts give it a very Aussie feel too. Love the twilight local rip!

Blackrockusername (Dec 15, 2015 at 1:40)

Some fun, SUPER short segments, but the value is far more worth it up north...Cali riders have no integrity...no values

Scripps must run that town. The little league and the elementary school were both named after them.

SoCal-AM (Dec 3, 2015 at 18:43)

The town, many schools, the research institute, local college, hospital etc were all named after the same historical figure.

Niko182 (Dec 3, 2015 at 18:40)

What trails are those with all the jumps?

loamyhomie (Dec 4, 2015 at 13:15)

Please Sir, may I have some more?

rulees16 (Dec 3, 2015 at 19:11)

In what city is this trail located ?

theberk (Dec 3, 2015 at 23:00)

San Diego- Scripps Ranch specifically!

ace-95 (Dec 6, 2015 at 11:30)

Great riding! I love how it shows just having fun with what you got! Faved

Blackrockusername (Dec 15, 2015 at 1:38)

nope, that's North County SD area...yup,

beanbelly (Dec 3, 2015 at 15:56)

@GAdirt we should film something like this!

meSSican (Dec 3, 2015 at 18:09)

Great video. That is the funnest trail bike i have ever ridden....

Man, that was Intense!

I think it's the Spider 275

Looks like Aiello territory....

I guess people think it is cool to mess up a nicely groomed pitcher's mound and then put it on this (otherwise great) video. You are just proving why our sport has an image problem.

jfloren (Dec 3, 2015 at 19:08)

Nice riding, if too much skidding for my taste. This whole area was a gigantic undeveloped ranch when I grew up not far away, not that long ago. But dude, doing a stunt on a nicely groomed pitcher's mound is uncool. Putting it on video is worse.

therealtylerdurden (Dec 3, 2015 at 21:06)

Bikes>baseball

jfloren (Dec 4, 2015 at 13:25)

Really dumb guys. Baseball fans outnumber us. Why take a dump on their sport?

TBagTantalizer (Dec 5, 2015 at 0:00)

Because i'm sure that entire crew plus the rider didn't fix any "damage" to the easily fixable dirt. Believe it or not these edits aren't filmed in one solid run as the final video makes it out. I'm sure he fixed it right after he did it. Used it long enough for the one good shot. common sense>baseball fans.
