Me and Tristan Martin-Preney put together another Springtime edit. I'm a big fan of riding trails top to bottom so I wanted to capture this feeling while keeping things playful and smooth. No tricks, just the usual cruisin' lush nature and perfect dirt.

 Great to see an edit without all the over the top roost in it!

Amazing trail(s) and riding. Makes the steep tech look easy.
The way you ride it shows how steep it is, often hard to tell in edits.

(And no mention of paywall) ooops!

 If only there were a way to keep these awesome user generated edits in front of mtbers without benefiting pinkbikes’s corporate pigs who cash in off your eyeballs. Ironic that even critical comments like this one will create more ad sales.

 @blackthorne: I'd rather support outside magazine that white supremacist apologist @radek . Pinkbike has been making money off your eyeballs for decades. It's nothing new.

 @lightningskull: He was supportive of folks like Waki who often spewed white supremacist and sexist rants in the name of "free speech". Got super upset about his mods exercising their ability to moderate the comments section.

 Pray for rain is the new mountain bike mantra. To save the trails.

 Damn, nice riding! The frames or shots (dunno how its called professionaly) were very nice, it was easy to get an idea of the whole section that got ridden, but the camera man needs to work a bit on his stability. Its very obvious on some of the zoomed in shots. But otherwise a job well done!

 Thanks for watching. Yeah Tristian wasn't using a gimble so for working with what he had, Im pretty stoked on the shots. Nice to showoff the trails and some lush forest for sure.

 What trail is that?

 Or at least tell me...is it all the same trail in this video? I'm from Nelson, so I'm searching for clues by looking at the shadows and direction of sunlight in the shots where I can see the lake and mountains...We have good weed here too!
