My four year old son and I watch a lot of these short bike clips togther. We both agreed hands down this was the best video, ridding, edit, and music we have seen. Amazing stills as well. We say thank you! My son is pumped to start doing some tricks now.......

Well I am down the list of comments an usually do not post anyway but this article struck a nerve with me. Recently I rode one of my local Squamish trails with a buddy who has not been riding long enough to know how the original trail was before it got dumbed down to be more "flowy". I told him how this trail used to have some very technical up hill sections and how happy I was to be able to send the up track with out stopping or dabbing, usually about 50% of the time. The old school tech kept a lot of beginner riders off this trail. Now it's part of the jumbie loop. I do not understand why the trail builders are spending valuable time and money to dumb down the trails when they could be building new ones and fixing up some of the older ones. Please leave something for us to work towards becoming a better mountain biker!!! I don't want to risk injury ridding double blacks just so I can have something technical to ride.

Beautiful pictures and inspirational story. See you on the trails Tara!
