7 Years ago I thought this was Impossible, now I'm back to try again

[@netposerx]

30 minutes ago Eric was laying block on a foundation. Now he's riding on rocks.

[@sdoowramaj]

I've been a Perkins Builder Brothers fan long before I started MTB. Love the cross-over!

[@sdy284]

Nice I've always seen Eric's bike on his truck in the Perkins videos... cool to see him actually using it!

[@aw71290]

I just wanted to comment and let you know that you have made an impact on me 100 percent. I started watching your videos last year and picked up a used Trek Fuel EX8 last summer. I have been putting in work! Over 800 miles of trail riding this summer, and I am entering my first race this month. Joined up with the local IMBA chapter, and started volunteering on the trails. Keep going with your videos they are a huge positive impact on the community!

[@MarkHyde]

OMG - amazing collab - this is epic. Brilliant and hilarious video. You guys gel so well together. The Perkin Builder Brothers is one of my favourite builder channels - love those guys.

[@HectorPerez-mv4bh]

Love watching the Perkins builders brothers!!! Awesome to know Eric rides!!!

[@shredderdad6995]

A must do trail, I love me slow to medium speed steep technical trails. Lots of rocks slabs, drops and rolls. 🤙🏾🔥. Great work guys.

[@offdaystv]

Same, it makes the trail last longer. Flow trails are fun but climbing for an hour just to do the trail in 5 minutes is kind of ehhh 😂

[@jt_mtb1]

Lets do it brother

[@bullseye0112]

Wow Alex your friend did great. He actually was pinning it for a little while. Eric has the right state of mind. A little more speed will help but controlling slow speed is a G move. Alex love your positivity

[@popcornplayer28]

Loving the frequency of your content dude.

[@The_Sampler]

Yooo thank you so much dude, been working hard to keep it going 🙌

[@phildehavillandhall]

I can fully relate to the 25+ year break from riding bikes, such a great time to be riding bikes!!

[@ceceph6455]

Its amazing to saw eric trailing the mountain. I always saw he in construction with perpect job. But he also good in another level. Awesome dude

[@JRHockney]

Yeah Stumpjumper Evo is pretty much all most people need and you can always adjust the head angle and pick up the cascade link if you want more travel. Killer job Eric. I'm used to left hand Canyon OHV in Colorado and I can tell thats some gnarly shit just by the tree angle.

[@The_Sampler]

I love left hand trails!

[@JRHockney]

@@The_Sampler Yeah your video from years ago is still one of my favorite reviews from that time. You should hit up more of them next time you're in the area and make some more videos. Lots of work has been done to the trails by locals and there are so many crazy trails to choose from there. You would probably love the Browntown to Indiana Jones route and several others like GZA and ODB.

[@notice_fpv]

Not only is he RIDING it, he's calling out drops and obstacles!

[@Wandering_whatsnext]

Great collaboration. Good to see Eric out slaying the trails. Would be fun to see you two do more riding together.

[@abstraddic0442]

This was a sick ride guys Great job. 💯👍

[@RobDuggan]

Got the exact same bike as Eric, picked it up recently, it's a weapon, Eric did awesome on that trail, you both did! Great stuff.

[@ssjj9584]

Nice. That’s a real MTB ride. Body is smoked with a big smile on your face.

[@aaronburela432]

1st of all thanks for partnering with LMNT big fan and happy to support you with the link. Great deal. Secondly Eric has a great bike I have one too it's the trail bike of trail bikes IMHO.

[@4GOX]

This is an awesome collaboration. I'm a big fan of both channels!

[@BuckeyeMCS]

Great video Alex. As a STEVO owner, its amazing how much better a rider it makes you

[@kingdaniel69]

That was a great video, really enjoyed it. Eric looks like a great bloke.

[@willmauney9609]

Hey Alex! If you haven't recently rode beehive at Wilson's Creek, it's definitely worth it. Took my buddy and I a little under an hour total, so definitely a shorter loop than Farlow's, but there are some sections that are up there with it in terms of chunder. From what I've heard it has gotten significantly rougher in the past year or so, I rode it in April and it was a blast. Great job killing the rock drop! And man, Eric was gettin it for only really riding a couple years!

[@The_Sampler]

Ohh I've ridden it, but it's been wayyy too long! I do remember it being amazing

[@YT-op6oc]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! This is something I feel no one thinks about enough.

[@richr7604]

Man! You guys kilked it! Looks seriously tough but you both nailed it! Great ride! Thanks for sharing!

[@jakeduffy4062]

Honestly that feeling when me and bro clear a mad feature and we both come out alive and do the fist bump of glory is unmatched😂

[@offdaystv]

Mannnn I had been commenting on your channel so we could hit Farlow. I ended up doing it in April and actually loved it

[@tommyamaya4254]

Awesome trail love your rides

[@tripleb5232]

Good crossover, nice job. Love riding Pisgah.

[@FoxRob93]

Great video. Never knew of these trails when I lived in NC but often we were trail riding in Jeeps.

[@eXaviar]

That very trail looks awesome 🤩 and I feel the same watching you guys 🤙🏾

[@ish474]

we have the same kind of chunk around here and its definitely type 2 fun

[@growlith6969]

Thank you for emphasizing that you are going full face on tough trails. I have a lot of friends that act like your man card should be revoked for wearing one, but the helmets are so good now that you aren't compromising comfort for the added safety. Remember, your idiot friends aren't going to pay for your facial reconstruction.

[@EthanRC_MTB]

I’ve never ridden Pisgah and I can’t wait to go!!

[@rupedog]

Gosh, I miss Pisgah... Didn't ride that, but did Bennett Gap and Buckwheat etc and Pilot Cove trail (where it was sooo continually rocky I was thinking... cursing... 'will it never end' from 2/3 way down! Enjoyed it though!). Wonder how Farley compares with Pilot Cove?

[@petedog9581]

Rode Buckwheat on 26" many years ago and it was really rugged. I remember some bike a hikes to get to the top. Got lost on a backcountry ride on Wood Mtn and MTS trail the next day. It was an epic 6 hour 32 miles before finding our way out of the woods to the highway. All we had was a dated trail guide book. Lol. Caught on the mountain top in a severe thunderstorm huddled under a bush for about an hour. We found out a tornado came through the area the next day. It is really rugged everywhere in Pisgah.

[@CainnechK]

I did the whole BMX thing till i was 15-16 and just started mountain biking last year at 38 im so made i didn’t really know about the spots in my area all these years

[@KarstRats]

The way i go about it. Is one trail at a time and i will sesh one feature over and over and over until i dont think about it as anything other than just riding down that part of the trail. The trail ends up feeling like a road you may drive every single day. Almost like you could do it in your sleep. I found that in a single day i could easily get comfortable going from feeling like a ragdoll in a jump to it just being another feature that doesnt need to even be thought about other than you know its coming just like a road you drive every day.

[@KarstRats]

Obviously watch out for others and downed trees haha.

[@timyoung3229]

Awesome video! Really liked the shared microphone.

[@dooleh84]

That stealth bike is a beauty!

[@UnformedLump]

Great job by both of u guys🤘 Id send that trail on my kent trouvaille all day😅

[@GarySixSixty]

great to see eric on a ride with yaz

[@ccallure]

Awesome video! So much fun!

[@phillipstocksdale6317]

and a LaCroix at the end! Epic day bro haha Love your work 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@ShawnHermann]

Still remember the first time I rode into the Santos Vortex pit and saw the drops and just thought never 😂 Great video man ❤

[@The_Sampler]

Look at you now! Amazing how things change

[@pkvillager]

Wow pretty wild I have been watching Perkins Builder Brothers longer than Alex's channel!

[@evelynpardo6051]

You're a great couple, do it again!

[@emma-eventing]

the youtube crossover nobody expected LOL ----- Alex, shock the pants off all of us by showing up to frame that Perkins house!

[@The_Sampler]

Now there’s an idea!!

[@creekboi7]

Trestle Downhill for me. I still need to go back and fully conquer it.

[@mgmatiasek]

Woohoo🎉 go April!

[@TheCriscogirl]

Great ride Eric! Maybe a little genetics involved in mountain biking 😊

[@DaveMarler4]

Another sick video dude. Can't wait for the next one. Can we get a camera and audio setup video. Keen to see what you use and how.

[@The_Sampler]

Next one out now! I have my mic linked on some videos, but I'll try to remember for ya. Just in case it's the Rode Go II mic and ya can find it on Amazon!

[@Lui2692]

Thats insane man!

[@KyleTipton.]

The braid gives you + 10 stability points!

[@The_Sampler]

hahaha at least 10

[@willernst]

“I guess it’s from today.” 😂

[@XCRiders]

You friend made it look easy

[@jt_mtb1]

Always great video brother now i want to go there and drink element lol

[@aBulgakoff]

He sent it!!

[@shaneoakley8757]

Sweet bike Erik. I ride a S6 Stumpjumper

[@JRHockney]

S6?..Good Lord how tall are you?! 😋

[@shaneoakley8757]

@@JRHockney 6’3” The folks at Bicycle Chain in Durham NC watched me ride a S5 and they said that I was right on the edge of needing the S6 and I could feel it. I’m glad I waited for the right size. I had to order it. Love it. It is a BIG bike. People at the parks I go will stand next to it and they are blown away

[@JRHockney]

@@shaneoakley8757 Nice. Yeah I'm 6'1 went with an S5 Stumpy Evo mostly because I got the frame off of Facebook Market place for a killer deal. It fits me well enough and gives me alot of confidence on steeps but I might have gone with the S4 otherwise since it was more than enough on my previous bike.

[@danmccabe2004]

Love my evo such great bikes for a do it all bike

[@Hobocreekfarm]

Have you rode any of the new trails in old fort?

[@hifiandmtb]

Go Eric!

[@ddsgardening7437]

This day forth he shall be known as Eric the Brave!!!

Watching videos like this make me feel like an idiot when I’m nervous about a few roots 😂

[@Traildude193]

Well done great video

[@braxtonbutler6406]

Love me some Pisgah 🤘

[@Mr.shawn918]

Hi Alex how did you customize the long strike to 160-147? I want to get a Fezzari

[@SurlyriderBilly]

You really should go and build something with Erik, good collaboration

[@kalgiesenbrook8460]

I bought an awesome bike for my 40th birthday too!

[@Mike_s_mtb]

I wish north carolina was closer to colorado lol. Pisgah is so damn beautiful

[@rupedog]

Ooo what did Alex recently upgrade on his bike🤔

[@Trails_trout]

It must be hot with long hair on those long riding days I am a guy who had long hair and cut it a bit shorter to just above my shoulders and it feels so much better for long rides

[@tomassanesson902]

Sooo epik awesome video and trail lovet

[@BM-tk1cn]

Love perkins channel

[@betty1631]

Totally epic.

[@xav_1029]

Ginger at Bootleg Canyon is the most demoralizing trail I’ve ever done.

[@joshphillips9033]

How tf can someone survive on 1 bottle of water on a ride of this magnitude? I could easily drink 3L on this. It amazes me

[@thim8009]

What ever happened to the levo sl you got?

[@thesmf1210]

nice and rocky

[@schmitty8225]

I never wear a helmet climbing forest roads. If you fall over and crash climbing a smooth forest road, you've got bigger problems.

[@The_Sampler]

🤣 truth

[@noahlarkins3246]

You should ride laurel pilot

[@XCRiders]

Now are you all the way down with your dropper?

[@The_Sampler]

Yes, all the way for sure!

[@MTBChuckQC]

How hard compared to the stuff you ride in Quebec? :P

[@The_Sampler]

Oof that's a tough one, but I'd say there was plenty in Quebec trip that was harder than this trail!

[@skiahh]

"Never. Ever. Ride your mountain bike without a helmet" he says... as he is riding his mountain bike. Without a helmet. 😂

[@bryanb1259]

Awesome

[@bradwilliams1869]

The evo was made for that!

[@Friskee62]

Very Cool...

[@Drforce2311]

My bike would never forgive me.

[@santanalor9771]

Ahahah, good ol farlow.

[@mattie_world]

has anyone got POV cleaning all features on this?

[@mattie_world]

including crossing the river etc? it looks more like trials / e-bike territory? would love to see

[@The_Sampler]

Not sure if it's fully clean, but Jeff Lenosky probably has the most cleared on the internet

[@andrewrivera4029]

Looks like Psycho Rocks at Crested Butte bike park

[@dougmasencup687]

Hardest trail in Pisgah?? Shoot, try The Other Pisgah, (Wilson Creek) Beehive is way more difficult.

[@stevencole7331]

Basically a 2 year rider doing that .

[@MichaelRei99]

My only problem is my riding skills are getting worse as I get older not better.😢

[@jonnyseller]

Great video

[@bryant8635]

Surely I am not the first to suggest that Alex and Heather Munvie might be related? They look like they could be brother and sister!

That’s a normal way to get to school in Ohio

Oh ... just makes me sick to the stomach watching it
