BEAST MODE MTB - Mountain Biking Cat Mountain in Austin TX

[@TrailFeatures]

I've heard a lot about this place and now I can see why it's legend.

[@nofrontbrakes]

Trail Features you want to hit it before you leave town? It’s like Thumper started training MMA 😂

[@TheCharlesWinchester]

I've been riding this place since I was like 6 yrs old really like what Seth and Justin and the crew have done

[@nofrontbrakes]

CharlesDoyle it’s wild for sure. That whole area is tough!

[@knobbynomad1428]

“Nope” Not going to lie. I had a nope moment at Spider Mountain yesterday. 😂

[@nofrontbrakes]

Knobby Nomad Yeah tell me about it. I was out there last Friday

[@rickpearson276]

Hat's off. You faced THE FEAR to even try this, rode like a champ, and didn't do anything stupid under the influence of adrenaline.

[@nofrontbrakes]

I have way more fear than comes off in the video 😂

[@CobraKyle]

This place looks completely savage. Handled like a champion!

[@nofrontbrakes]

Cobra Kyle thanks

[@JordanByron]

Place looks epic! No shame in walking your bike out. Just means you left it all out there! 🤘🏻

[@CaBdosdos]

THIS IS IN AUSTIN!? Oh boy Im getting sweaty hands just watching those gaps because I know I'm going to attempt them. 3 weeks into riding btw 😯

[@keithsmathers9815]

Wow...good video. Quite challenging. Love to get some photos there.

[@ElevationStation1988]

Really good riding dude!

[@nofrontbrakes]

Dirt Storm Troopers thanks

[@MikeBeeman]

Bro. i did not realize until the end that you had a prosthetic. wow truly impressed. subbed. you ride better than i do. keep it up

[@nofrontbrakes]

Mike Beeman thanks 🙏🏼

[@MTBTrailMagic]

Pretty cool amount of trails around Austin mate. Must make it easy to just get out and ride.

[@nofrontbrakes]

MTB Trail Magic yeah it’s wild

[@TwitchyNick]

Your movie clips never disappoint and always make me smile. Trail definitely looked like it had its share of challenges. Way to get out there and push yourself. Heck ya!

[@nofrontbrakes]

Twitchy Nick thanks! I actually need to stop that indefinitely if I ever want to monetize again 😞

[@TwitchyNick]

No Front Brakes Yes. Understood. So for now, look at it as an awesome positive until you get monetized again. Find a friend that can do some lite animation work to still capture the idea in the future? I know. Easier said than done.

[@nofrontbrakes]

Twitchy Nick nah I’ll just skip it altogether. The allure is that people recognize the clips.

[@TwitchyNick]

No Front Brakes Very true. Makes sense. Wouldn’t be the same for sure. I’ll enjoy it immensely while it lasts 😜

[@garrettvanh]

Wow! That is one Beasty Step Down.

[@nofrontbrakes]

Garrett Rides yeah it’s wild

[@mrsmith326]

I love how excited you get man! Nice videos!

[@nofrontbrakes]

heyPhiliphey thanks!

[@thim8009]

Fricken awesome

[@nofrontbrakes]

Thim thanks!

[@VanCan]

Oof, off camber, narrow, death to the side. Looks pretty gnarly!

[@nofrontbrakes]

VanCan gnarly is spot on!

[@pwdt4r313]

I wanna try it! Van I just saw some of your vids last night for the first time. Good quality.

[@RealMJSr]

Very nice trails! Nice job.

[@MikeBeeman]

tight technical trails very cool

[@mikieson]

as good as you are...i bet if you rode there a week you would be hitting most of all that..you killed it to me dude!!

[@nofrontbrakes]

mikieson oh yeah I’ll be back

[@gweenie3]

Does free ride 512 do any sort of group rides? Would be super interested in joining, always looking for more people to ride with

[@nofrontbrakes]

Yeah they usually have a few group rides a year. The best place is a Facebook group called Texas Gravity Enduro.

[@donnymazinga5295]

Badass, dude! 🤘🏻

[@nofrontbrakes]

Donny Mazinga thanks!

[@TEXASMTBCREW]

You should try a TMBRA cross country race some time! There's still some pretty rough XC Stuff out here

[@nofrontbrakes]

TEXAS MTB I’m all in on enduro. Haven’t done an XC race since the two NORBA ones I did in 1997.

[@aldenwilkins]

Dude. You found the Gnar!!!

[@joshsaunders7916]

Quality content dude. Also, more "Shameless" bites? They were all great but Shameless is a top 3 show for me. Greatness.

[@nofrontbrakes]

Josh Saunders I’m about to get monetized again and the TOS are kind of vague about fair use, so I’m going to take a break from clips haha

[@SethBuckner]

haha I love this video

[@nofrontbrakes]

Seth Buckner I need to make it back out there

[@Amanamedkurt]

Should have named this one, eminent danger!

[@nofrontbrakes]

Big 🐔right here.

[@boboh8654]

You can't just go bomb a trail you don't know... you did awesome.

[@nofrontbrakes]

Bob Oh thanks man! I’m happy with my riding. Push it a little further each time

[@wayneshaffer4372]

I need to check out Austin sometime

[@nofrontbrakes]

Wayne Shaffer definitely!

[@MrMentallo]

Loads of variety from flowy with a little gnar Walnut Creek (check the Loam Ranger's No Elevation, No Problem vid) to Brushy creek (a little flow with much more gnar) to City Park (check Lenosky's first Trail Boss video) to the Greenbelt (gotta come here to see the good stuff). All to stuff like Cat Mountain.

[@Xelement360X]

Definitely have to hit up Austin soon in the future, SA doesn’t have much

[@nofrontbrakes]

Vincent Garza So much trail here between all of the actual trail systems and the ranches

[@codymac181]

So fun man, let’s ride again soon!

[@nofrontbrakes]

Cody Macdonald I’m down!

[@reeter7D]

Watching your videos and working is a hard combo, I just want to stop and go ride...

[@nofrontbrakes]

josh reeter same! 😂

[@RetraSwag]

Is cat mountain open to the public at all?

[@nofrontbrakes]

tyler slatton With a guide, everyone can ride it once provided you sign the freeride 512 waiver. After that, you need a membership. 60 bucks a year for access to two trail systems and a bunch of discounts from a bike shop and I think Banshee

[@persistentconsistency]

Dope video! Do you think the Hightower had enough travel and/or the right geometry to handle such a gnarly trail, or would you have preferred a different bike if you'd known what to expect before riding the trail?

[@nofrontbrakes]

The Hightower is plenty of bike, but my Spartan has a better suspension, climbs better, and I’m definitely a better rider now too

[@persistentconsistency]

@@nofrontbrakes Word up! Amazing to hear that the Spartan climbs better than the HT. Bikes are so amazing these days! Thanks for the reply brotha. Hope your year is ending on the highest of notes.

[@sidvish159]

That place looks legit. Nice work. What's up with the number plate? Velominati may call you out on that. :)

[@nofrontbrakes]

Ride bSIDe It’s for the enduro series I’m racing. We’re halfway through and I’m supposed to keep the same plate.

[@abuk7526]

Are these 512 freeride trails or are they open to the public? Place looks sick!

[@nofrontbrakes]

A Buk they’re for members and guests of FR512. I’m a member and I know Seth fairly well if you ever want to ride.

[@TrailBikeBebop]

cambered edge? nope! Nice rush:)

[@ChrisCXK]

Man, F that trail haha. Its way too tough for me. Its one of those I wish I was able to ride but I know its one of those never gonna happen trails for me.

[@nofrontbrakes]

Chris CXK I bet there’s stuff you can ride in there. At some point, I’d like to help Seth with B-lines

[@ChrisCXK]

There is some I'd do. That off camber part looked pretty crazy. I also never would have thought that was in Austin.

[@nofrontbrakes]

Chris CXK it’s wild. I’ve learned that if I push myself hard enough, suddenly I’m doing things I wouldn’t have dreamed of a few months ago

[@MikeBeeman]

im 49. i wish i could do that. when i was teenager i raced bmx but now im scared to jump

[@nofrontbrakes]

Mike Beeman you and me both (scared to jump)

[@WoodCoxfurniture]

burped my tire the other day and my buddy was filming me, got sealant all over his face lol

[@nofrontbrakes]

Downhill Dewey wait: burned? How?

[@WoodCoxfurniture]

burped'' lol

[@RobertGriffin74]

You're not giving yourself enough credit when you say its above your skill level. You race enduros!

[@nofrontbrakes]

Robert Griffin thanks man!

[@otb7839]

I must find this so called cat mountain🤔

[@nofrontbrakes]

OTB Seth Buckner on KZbin is the man to ask for a guided tour

[@otb7839]

No Front Brakes is it open to the public or is it strictly a guided tour?

[@nofrontbrakes]

OTB It’s actually on private property, so I believe it entails signing a waiver and then they probably prefer if you have a guide

[@nofrontbrakes]

Seth will correct me if I’m wrong

[@otb7839]

No Front Brakes okay sweet thanks bro

[@maniekenduro5606]

NAJS

[@alistairchappell]

Yay...I made first view!!! Stoaked lol...😂

[@alistairchappell]

[@nofrontbrakes]

Alistair Chappell thanks for the confidence! Next time!

[@alistairchappell]

No worries dude !!!! I need some of that myself...lol....sometimes I think to myself just do it lol.....and follow a better rider in... a tow is the way to go !!!!

[@nofrontbrakes]

Alistair Chappell you got it!
