The Trippin Fellaz Show Us What Mountain Biking is All About – Video

 You spend time behind a desk because life is a trade off, as do I. The way other people's lives are portrayed in media is so biased. Maybe these guys are millionaires from what they do, or maybe they were before, or maybe they live in a van. I don't really care because I live in a house, have a comfortable life, and can ride my bike when I want to.

 @pwadjo: Keep telling yourself that

 They do it for the attention. Hence the pictures and story

 Yeah I couldn’t help but think “someone should show him skis or a snowboard”

 It's adventure, showing where bikes can go if you're willing to take alternative modes of transport. How many videos start with someone driving to a destination?

 i think they just film each other on go-pro's, plus the odd day out with a drone?

 @Funkhouser: some of the shots are most definitley not captured with a GoPro, like 90% of them

 If you ever see the behind the scenes stuff the camera man is usually pretty much as extreme as the guys in the videos.

I haven't seen much for MTBing (I assume it's similar) but I have seen it for stuff like climbing and backcountry snowboarding. The camera equipment is generally like 50 lbs (you're bringing a camera, backup memory [which is literally a hard drive], backup batteries [a single RED battery weighs 1kg], lenses, tripod, if you bring a drone it's probably in a Pelican case so that you don't slip and smash it, these guys aren't messing around).

For snowboarding the camera guy is climbing to an alternative peak so that you can actually see the athlete and then setting up there. For climbing he's repelling down holding all that gear. And then after all of that the camera guy has to get down.

Pretty much if you wanna do camera work you better be in hella good shape.

Side note: I use "guy" in the most gender neutral way possible and in no way imply that a "guy" is male.

 @AlbinoBlacMan: Sam, Joe's brother (the guy doing most of the riding in the video), is the guy who films this. Ex-EWS rider (the one with the smashed up nose).

Fixed it for you

 @vapidoscar: HAHA LOL

 @vapidoscar: Soundtrack to mah life!! Yakkity Sax!

 @vapidoscar: I laughed out loud, thanks for this

 @vapidoscar: I Love You

 @vapidoscar: =))

 Yeah, the music kills it. I am more of singular focus and simply want to ride so this said nothing to me.

 Must of been going for Rudolph the Reindeer look to match the sweater.

 e-peddled

 Dude I feel ya, welcome to modern day multimedia. Half the shit people do nowadays is for the photo and 'post'. I hate instagram for this reason, 90% of the stuff on there is fabricated and people do it for the 'photo', drives me nuts.

I don't know anything about fly fishing, just my .02 on the subject.

 Funny thing is he probably catches more fish than you due to the fact he get out to the sweet zones.

 @Shadowracer80: I can't remember a single fly fishing/mtb video in recent memory where anyone actually catches a fish.

 He casts just fine, no he is not double hauling a 100ft cast or roll casting a two hander to perfection but I don't think he was implying himself as some pro angler.

 @shaowin: I use bait cause i like to catch fish.

 @jefflong: no, just no! Except eggs for steelhead, we all get desperate sometimes.

 Tied the bike on there with a couple of innertubes by the looks of it.

 Looks like its probably just strapped to his backpack...

 It's pretty easy actually. You just put it on the back seat and tie it on with woven bands, like old tee shirt segments or something.
