Can I keep up? Seth's Bike Hacks at Kitsuma Peak Trail, Asheville

[@loganurrunaga6066]

“You’re about to have as much fun as you could possibly have with your clothes on.” - Seth a true intellectual

[@The_Sampler]

Poetry

[@phillipmoore8531]

My favorite line from the video haha. I might have to borrow that!

[@--LZ---]

I was about to comment this but fuck it, someone beat me to it.

[@jeremyporterfield1611]

Yep - this is a keeper. Borrowing for sure!

[@JoeCainvolleyball]

I can vouch for that. He wasn't lying

[@The_Sampler]

Hey guys, sorry about no video on Sunday, KZbin has been flagging most of my videos for some reason, dinging my channel for reasons that they won't even tell me.... *Massive shoutout to my awesome Patrons who stand by the channel while YT figures it's stuff out!!* This channel wouldn't be where it is without you guys!

[@TrailFeatures]

The Singletrack Sampler all of my recent uploads have been marked by the Beast as well... It's been an experience.

[@The_Sampler]

Fun times right?! XD

[@mikesimms1]

I guess the YT bots aren't living free or getting stoked.

[@BlindstuffMTB]

If you can pull it off, you can upload videos as unlisted, they will get flagged if its the case, then fight it and by the time you publish you'll have your monetization back.

[@bobbyhempel1513]

The Singletrack Sampler you rock bro

[@TrailFeatures]

"Where's Ken at?" "Uhh, he died." I lol'd

[@daynephillips9948]

Trail Features I died as well!!!

[@JoeCainvolleyball]

It's funny but it was the first thing that came to my mind when Alex asked me where he was

[@FloridaTrailrider]

hILARIOUS

[@cxpitt]

hahaha So awesome!

[@andreasjohannesson4005]

Trail Features oo

[@Sycoholic]

These videos show how great and welcoming the mountain bike community is. You're not only networking with other KZbin'ers but other locals as well. Such a great sport and hobby.

[@on1ytheb3st]

Proof that pumping is the answer to speed 7:45

[@greetthemind]

Carter Hamlet Dude I was thinking the same. It’s like he had a motor on his bike

[@majortom4543]

Pump, pump pump it up (only kids that grew up with fast and furious 2 passing on TV all the time will understand)

[@fittpatley]

I've recently started pumping on climbs, those little 3-4 inch bumps and small walls on the side of the trail. It works

[@stuntguy6351]

Ride a skateboard or bmx that’s proof pumping is faster

[@OxBlitzkriegxO]

Dear Mountain Bike Jesus, Seth drops you on corners because you're braking way too late. Also, he is pumping the little hills n such in places you don't. Really like your channel. Thank you for all you do. Sincerely, Mountain Bike Jesus Disciple

[@James-yy4vl]

very true but if he knows the trails he knows exactly where to brake before mountain bike jesus does.

[@dlwsport250]

What a wonderful comment and well delivered! Just curious, if you read this, have you ever ridden Ox Creek?

[@603.F0Z]

“You’re about to have as much fun as you can with your clothes on” -Seth 2017. One of the funniest lines I’ve ever heard on this channel.

[@OLKIEMTB]

This is by far the most fun trail I have ever ridden. I love kitsuma

[@nofrontbrakes]

Is "SMEEEAAASH IT" the best Seth-ism yet? Thumbs up if you agree.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Nah, now it's "Something a little different, but kinda the same".

[@TheCrashingDad]

*HIGH SPEED- NO CONSEQUENCES* Wish I had some of that around here 😎

[@The_Sampler]

lolol yea none of that out there!

[@martronattebery9675]

Same here man. AZ desert has very high consequences

[@woodsmccloud]

Man...This video did a real good job at showing how fast Seth is. Guys a machine...

[@sabrina8688]

Loved this vid!! Thank you for all your hard work and stoke to allow us to come with you on these rides,especially, when where I live the snow is getting in the way of riding. Please come to Breckenridge next summer!!! Just ordered my LFRHGS shirt today, YES!! Keep the vids coming they are helping us all get stoked and become better riders.

[@NarxolepticCustoms]

I like the idea of “Can you keep up?” with Seth! This video was awesome! It looked like you were flying!!!!

[@mr1blakman]

Seth has been moving in the last couple of videos. Must be his season for fast riding. Lol. The leaf cover doesn't look bad on ur trails out there. Then he says next time I'll try. Lol CLASSIC!!

[@The_Sampler]

Yea he's at the top of his game!!

[@rocco.mbb.zoccoli]

Just rode this trail for the 1st time this past weekend… now I’m back home in flatlandia and needed to rewatch this so I could reminisce about Kitsuma

[@MotoErgoSum]

The end response by Seth was priceless after all the back-patting. Trolololoooo

[@rualert1602]

Seth is the finest non-competitive rider I can think of.

[@Theoloop]

That was sick, fastest run I’ve seen with you guys yet, I love the idea of the series though. Stay safe out there.

[@peckrhead7922]

always thought that you guys were great riders. I have taken a lot of riding tips from you and seth and they have all helped me to become a better rider.

[@sapinva]

How about a "Can I keep up? Skills with Phil"? Lol

[@603.F0Z]

Not even Seth can do that. And yes I know this comment is 2 years old.

[@dlwsport250]

@@603.F0Z It is great to see someone still watching these like I do. Yay!

[@IIISWILIII]

Kitsuma ain't no joke - rode it for the first time a couple of months ago and felt very out-gunned on my 120mm travel hardtail plus bike!! Was still super fun, just in a sphincter-clinching sorta way!

[@comparedtopisgah5933]

One of the funnest trails within an hour of AVL! SOOO fast!!! Great video guys...

[@DailyMTBRider]

Seth's new nickname should be the White Rabbit - follow him if you can... 🐇

[@The_Sampler]

hahaha that's pretty solid

[@bobbyhempel1513]

Right on

[@bradg8682]

Kinda looked like a rabbit pumping through that trail like a mad man

[@DailyMTBRider]

Brad g 😂😂😂

[@L48R0D3N7]

Sounds like a T-shirt idea...

[@wyleyveinot6540]

That's a dope line Seth took right at the parking lot, definite style points.

[@IIMRCLEANIII]

That was freaking awesome. I love trails like that, that just flow and you can just burn it. Thanks Alex and Seth

[@KA-no8ek]

Definitely good for training...to get faster you have to ride faster, react faster, think faster...enjoyed watching you guys on this one!

[@cxpitt]

That was really sweet. Def going to put Asheville on my soon to do list.

[@SHREDD-ED]

Kitsuma is NEXT on the bucket list

[@mtnhighs]

Definitely more of those type videos. Seth looked smooth. Great ride

[@brandonowens6912]

Seth dropped the Sampler. Seth was flying!!

[@dmgpunk]

Yeah, the follow-cam is cool. Especially with the dynamic you and Seth have. Where were the other two riders for the last half of the video? Were you guys too far out in front?

[@JasonTankard]

This video really puts in to perspective how good, and fast Seth really is. His own videos dont show this most of the time. You are a solid rider Alex, but damn, Seth flies.

[@oliverkelson5719]

Great video Alex, funny and pleasurable to watch

[@angelxmoreno6477]

wow you were killing it! and your effort shows through your videos, like trying little manuals or falling out of line and then into leafs haha great video and ride safe!

[@growlith6969]

I stumbled on Kitsuma by complete mistake, just looking for an out and back trail to kill an hour hiking with the fam. After trudging up that really steep bit at the beginning for the overlook, I noticed that the trail leading away down the mountain looked very mountain-bike-ish. So I came back the next day on a crappy hard tail and gave it the beans. When I drove back down south and finally looked it up, videos like this and the one Bobo did with BKXC was what I found. Lol, who knew?

[@mrdrifty6580]

That trail a pump track must ride it! You guys are getting faster not bad for some Florida boys keep killing it!

[@The_Sampler]

Not bad for some FL boys indeed! 💪💪

[@jasonfuentes6084]

would love to see seth do an endro race or even the bc 7 day race

[@imnotjimmyspov7763]

Jason Fuentes an enduro and the BC bike race are too totally different events FYI

[@Buck2901]

You guys are pretty amazing, considering other videos of some nasty crashes...hats off for getting on the horse again.

[@B1KER]

I so want to come back there and ride those trails. That place looks super fun!!!

[@evancalitz4304]

i think Seth is in a league of his own but so are you man! YA MAN!!!!!

[@seagulls4life12]

Great riding from you both, you guys are getting a lot faster

[@JacoblBroughton]

I’m dying to try this trail. I’ve rode black and bennett’s a few times and always an insanely good time

[@Dantheman_88]

You guys should come make a video and race the enduro at cranksgiving in Paris mountain Greenville, SC. There will be a lot of big names there. Come check it out!!! The whole weekend is a blast!

[@Dantheman_88]

It’s this weekend the 17th-19th. www.iconmediaasheville.com/Photography/RaceTeg/2017-Upstate-Cranksgiving/n-MP66tH/

[@wickedmountainfilms]

I like your channel because you're always pushing yourself to get better. Keep up the good work Alex. I hope I see you and Seth on the trails since I'm a local ashevillian. Y'all push your talents and I can see youbprogessing in your videos

[@wickedmountainfilms]

Btw I think I'm faster than you. Only one way to find out homie

[@wickedmountainfilms]

And Seth dropped you hard.. he would drop most of us tho

[@JuliusCesar2781]

I guess Seth will reach the speed of light. You are so freaking fast ! Thumbs up !

[@mtbmonkey3049]

We're definitely going to have to hit that trail when we come up to ride Fire Mtn. Awesome vid!

[@TheJeweler54]

Holy cow dude! The leaves are bad here in Arkansas too! Takes balls to go that fast with leaves everywhere. My switch to Maxxis Ardents from Nobby Nics seems like a good move. Bike feels way more planted in leaf gnar than before haha

[@The_Sampler]

Yea the leaves add a whole other level of sketch for sure!

[@hpnc81]

Local fav! Y'all are brave with the leaf glass right now!

[@MrRhals01]

Looks to me like Seth wasn't really going at full tilt, just a nice fun ride. I wouldn't mind seeing a camera on Seth giving it the gusto. Fantastic trail either way, adding to my bucket list.

[@christophercoffman1100]

I would definitely want to see more videos like this

[@dawsongarrett3595]

Love that end part😂😂 great video!! The footage is looking so good! Keep it up!

[@tjenkens]

Coming out to ride Kitsuma tomorrow...how will the trail be after tonight’s rains

[@davidgrothen3943]

Level link and Seths bike hacks have been so good for Diamondback.

[@The_Sampler]

Absolutely

[@dontwasteyourcancer]

I get a workout just watching these vids. Awesome ride!

[@FelipediOliveira]

You two were flowing! It must be pretty gnarly to get to hit trails like that! Unfortunately we don't have such trails around in my city. I'd love to suggest you all guys to come over to Brazil one day, but mountain bike over here is not as strong as in US. Anyway, cheers!

[@The_Sampler]

I play soccer too, plenty of that over there!

[@BlindstuffMTB]

Great one! Flying out there, gotta hit kitsuma next time I'm in Asheville.

[@bwest6275]

Daaamn. Like I know you were going fast. But Seth is a monster!

[@ModifiedMyers]

Yes brother! this looks like a lot of fun!

[@DavidRoberts555]

You could literally see Seth edging away as he pumped through some of those sections ... I guess if they're his favourite trails he's going to have that advantage

[@burntmuffin3388]

Seth is very Seth-y in this video. And Alex is awesome as usual.

[@williamkeys5701]

I hope to retire to Asheville for just this reason. Great trails, mild climate, year round riding.

[@StravaigingMTB]

Hows your Command post holding out? Mine started being a little inconsitent and I found some broken leafs of the Expanding collet rolling around inside the post.

[@albertsmith6717]

Now that's a nice downhill trail. The best natural downhills out west are full of rocks.

[@JoshuaBaylin]

I love when he does colabs!!!!

[@mikeh307]

Forget being dropped by Seth. You dropped your Patreon’s guests!😂😂😂😂

[@The_Sampler]

😂😂😂

[@garydecker3281]

He dropped you good a few times! Love that DH, I just hate riding the asphalt up to the trail.

[@badazgamaz]

yeah dude that's so cool ! you should pump more on your bike to gain speed and keep in touch with Seth !! shredders !

[@omarmartinez7277]

Wow, yes u guys should do more all out vids. I love this.

[@LB2119]

Seth definitely succeeded- he made you crash and dial it back! :-) Great riding! Maybe next one on your favorite trail, see if you can drop Seth?

[@The_Sampler]

That's a good point ;)

[@rafaelparedes1937]

Seth falls so much that he probably crashes once per video. I am surprised he didn't on this one. Even my friend who doesnt't know anything about mountain biking said to me one day, "If you keep watching Seth's videos, you are going to learn his bad habit of falling" So now she asks me every time I go out, if I fell...

[@amjazzg]

Seth wtf dude ,is it the new bike you are killing it ...awesome

[@jameskylelacy1]

What a sick and beautiful trail!

[@The_Sampler]

SUPER fun trail!!!

[@alexanderconstantini2797]

How about a trail you both know super well!!! That was sick!

[@kvader]

Loved Seth's BKXC shirt

[@grn9209]

Great riding Seth and Alex🚵🏻‍♀️

[@camodudemtbh7594]

Seth, the master of the mountain, yea boy.

[@zachjohnson8316]

I wanted to ride in Asheville this weekend but it looks like rain on Saturday.

[@The_Sampler]

yea I think rain then and sun every other day!

[@zachjohnson8316]

Of course the rains on the day I wanted to ride lol

[@tjvigilvigil9249]

I would say Seth only dropped you once. Love watching you guys!

[@camodudemtbh7594]

Nice ride boys, I wanna do that trail

[@thim8009]

I think Seth has got you in berms his bike is shorter when I demo'd a yeti sb6 noticed it was harder in corners maybe it was me used to norco sight

[@tr1ckster726]

Rode this last Saturday. The GoPro footage just doesn't do it justice with how effing steep this trail is. I'm just glad I made it out alive and didn't break any bones.

[@robboz5020]

i just rode kitsuma for the first time Friday and i will say i did have as much fun as i can possibly have with clothes on

[@The_Sampler]

+SaltPigeon X 👍👍👍

[@RideLabs]

Adding to my wish list -- Great video!

[@RxMTB]

Wow great trail. Seth is a ripper now

[@shamuslockey]

I think seth likes his new bike!

[@rhpmountaintrail9206]

Alex Watch out for those pesky leaves hiding the trial. Twice is difficult to know which way the trial goes with that leaf.

[@LanceMiller1985]

"Smeeeaash" Seth is hilarious in this clip. Great 🐿 voice.

[@thomasspelmans9455]

Best part is the beginning climb! It's not even steep, and only like 2 switchbacks

[@SethsBikeHacks]

Thomas Spelmans 😂

[@genxinnc6351]

Are you both riding 650B? I can't tell and i am a new to the channel. great vids. i scanned the thread and didnt see it mentioned.

[@chrisk3195]

Great video! Yes, more please.

[@justicebdone7]

Dropped but that's his trail, so great job

[@ichiaidoify]

Hi, high speed less protection. I Hope the luck ist always with you. Thumbs Up!

[@mattmiller5673]

I think Seth was on the brakes waiting for you? Awesome riding by both of you.

[@SilentSentry1776]

I can't believe I have not ridden this trail yet... I have to get up to the cabin more often!

[@The_Sampler]

Dude you most definitely have to ride that trail!!

[@nadyavolkoff629]

Hey Alex, my husband and I love your videos! Keep up the great work!!! Question for you... do you know what type of hip hydration pack Seth was wearing on this video? My husband has been searching for a really good hip hydration pack. Thank you in advance. And we look forward to many more of your awesome biking adventures!

[@SethsBikeHacks]

Nadya Volkoff that’s an Osprey Talon

[@The_Sampler]

Hey Nadya, I LOVE hearing when couples watch my videos and get out riding together!! Like the coolest thing ever...

[@nadyavolkoff629]

The Singletrack Sampler and Seth thank you! You guys rock!

[@theprocess5217]

Looks like Seth has a new bike. Nice!!!!

[@The_Sampler]

she does indeed!

[@Sutta92]

Seth with the velociraptor call @1:00! Lol

[@The_Sampler]

lolol I actually almost made that the thumb and put claws and everything on him XD

[@theprocess5217]

Lmao!!!!!!!

[@jkamer2168]

Trail looks unreal.

[@Dartht33bagger]

Asheville looks like a fun place to ride!

[@HardPanG]

Is it just me or does Seth seem faster with the new whip? He’s been flyin these past few videos.

[@funkgremlin2765]

I know this is an older video, but is there any way I can make “Yeah boy!” a ringtone 🤣🤣
