A couple weeks ago Justin Bumgarner along with myself teamed up with up and coming videographer Cameron Hotchkiss to shoot the new trails at Silver Mountain in Kellog, ID. The trail crew has been revamping all the existing trails as well as adding many new ones for this season. We were lucky enough to get out there and shred the fresh trails before the season opener last weekend. Enjoy!

 Good to see another bike park get started! I used to be a snowboard instructor there 15 years ago, maybe I'll go back for some brown pow! Fun fact, the gondola takes like 20 min, and is the longest in the world. Plenty of time for a J...and that's what got me fired!

 Awesome to see them put some hard work into the trails up there! This is such a fun place to ride I recommend it to everybody! Each run is like 7 miles of swoopy berms and jumps!

 I local the hill. They have done a kick but job this year and even in the past. Lots of awesome new trails w/ lots of fun hits and berms. With having the longest gondola and maybe the longest runs (6.5miles long!!) in the US, this is truly a kick-in-the-pants place. They have a very nice and great staff there. Silver Mountain should get some coverage in the Mags and Intraweb. Nice having this in our backyard. Keep up on the good grooming guys.

PS Sean Murphy rules!

 At 2:24 is that an effect or the warp stabilization? Whatever it is works well. Love from 2:52 on after all of the slow motion. Kinda perks ya right up. Nice work!

 I LOVE Silver Mtn. When I lived in Idaho I rode it at least once a month back in the 90's early 2000's. I've raced there and seen it expand over the years, it's nice to see it going strong and with some fresh trails!

 Oh it's a great video! Don't get me wrong. Looks like a fun place to ride! I'm still stuck in Hardtail Hell, you guys rip it compared to what I can do.

 Don't get me wrong, the video is awesome!!! Also it's another way to show how slow I am and how many skills I lack off. I just noticed the music was on one side and the track noises on the other, which was a bit odd at first. Keep it up!
