It's great to see Alex progress over the years. That Farlow video last week, and now this. Best I've seen him ride. And big props for him including the failure on Clickbait at the end. He could have edited that out, left us with that run down Champion, but the Sampler keeps it real! Golf is 80% mental!

It gives me so much more confidence watching someone like you continue to progress and grow, but still be a bit wary on new tracks. I’m nowhere near as good as you, but I feel like I can get there if I keep pushing without being overconfident and hurting myself. Watching pros send it is cool, but it feels like that sort of thing is way out of reach.
@The_Sampler Жыл бұрын
I think this is a big thing to realize when watching online content. Though you are seeing the pros send massive jumps and features, I assure you that they too walk it first to scout and discuss with friends. The only differenence is that would never work in a shreddit, so you won't see it, whereas I like to leave that bit in my vids because it's part of the process.

And another friend who just got into mountain biking and who for his first bike (and after riding my kenevo for 5 min literally on Black mtn) trail just bought a kenevo SL comp from the great guys at Sycamore. I think you really inspired my friend who's just getting into it. Thank you for the great library of vids for him to use. He's literally moving here from Raleigh just arrived. He's so psyched . Thank you for providing all this great info for him and everyone else
