Giggling like a little kid that is clearly spontaneous is indicative of enjoyment beyond comprehension of those who have decided to no longer enjoy the wonderment of discovery. Kudos Alex, you continue to up the ante and inspire. Seth does too BTW.

[@The_Sampler]

Man what an awesome comment :D Keeping the fire alive, even into adulthood. Bike riding makes us feel like kids again, and just all around betters lives!

[@zachsmith1179]

+The Singletrack Sampler never lose that! I am in my 30s now and still loving life! Anything outdoors that gets blood pumping like biking, kayaking, scuba, etc... keeps you healthy and alive. Of course you have work and responsibilities, but can't let it control you. I have too many friends, that their whole life is nothing only work, chores, and tv. It's sad.

[@GoatyHerps]

Can't forget the whole feel like you're gonna die nerves.

[@zaccaldwell768]

Man your story and drive are such an inspiration! Watching you, Seth and Brian just makes me want to ride. Thanks for living the dream and shredding!

[@marcoepifani2475]

If that trail was any steeper it would be a drop

[@The_Sampler]

You ain't kiddin!

[@marcoepifani2475]

yeah lol,also I saw seth's stream the other day and I really thought the drama drop was smaller! that thing is big!

[@The_Sampler]

that thing is a legit 10 foot drop with a short run out!

[@DailyMTBRider]

You know a trail is steep when it scares you through a gopro 9:24 haha! Thanks for another great video Alex, can't wait to get over to TN to check out Windrock!

[@The_Sampler]

I still feel the nerves come back watching this! But as soon as we dropped in it was straight giggles all the way down :D

[@ktmtb8678]

on seth's channel the gopro effect was real. this video put it into a little mroe perspective. I'd still like to see some trailside video to really see how steep it is!

I love to hear it man, thank you!! So rad you have been here since all the way back at 1k!!! Thanks for sticking around :D

During the time with Seth and Phil too come on leaps and bounds. It just makes me want to get out and ride!

I think the best part is how supportive you guys are of each other.. it's nice to see these days.

[@acsaiyanbalce4610]

I think Alex can ride any trail, from the most difficult to the easiest, from the the most exciting to the most boring and make it look and sound fun and exciting! I don’t need to drink coffee anymore with you around 👍👍

[@chudyja]

i started watching your videos when road to redemption started. and it's so amazing to see your progress and the simple joy you get from riding. greetings from Poland my man.

[@The_Sampler]

+Dawid Ochryniak thanks dawid! Hey next video is going to be an extension of something from redemption 17, so keep an eye out!

[@manusk40]

You can definitely see Alex's skill improving this year It's amazing ! Well done Alexander Live free, ride hard and get stoked !

[@YoJungB]

Awesome video. I’ve been a subscriber since 20-ish K and the fun is just infectious along with better and better editing and riding. Stoked for you, the channel, and the van whenever it happens.

[@330_Crew]

Alex I found you through Seth and been following you for the last 9-12 months. Your videography and story telling has grown leaps and bounds. Sometimes less is more. Great last few videos. I hope to ride with you sometime.

[@XploreAz]

I'm pretty new to the MTB world, but videos like this are what really gets me excited about the sport. Riding bikes with some buds and drinking some suds afterward. Awesome times my dude.

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

dude, my first time on a DH was a V10 at Bailey. Was rad as hell

[@The_Sampler]

+Biking With Bobo it's crazy how much confidence it gives!

[@BIKINGWITHBOBO]

no doubt, feels so good on the landings

[@MPHshoots]

Biking With Bobo I haven’t been to Bailey yet but I live like 50 mins away 🤔

[@mheppert11]

After months missing from my feed, the mountain biking videos make their triumphant return! Missed that incredible energy Alex. Crazy to think that the last time your videos showed up on my feed you were just getting back to riding shape from the collar bone. Now to get back to my daily fix of Brian and Seth. And then hit the trails of course haha.

[@traviskobza7705]

I love your videos and this is one of my favorites. I've cleaned up my old Gary Fisher and started riding again. Thanks for the motivation and reminding me how much fun it is to ride!

[@Friskee62]

Only the BEST with STS...awesome vid, man...

[@The_Sampler]

Thanks Thomas!!

[@mathewnunez]

Alex I just want to tell you that you inspire me so be a better rider and better person everyday thank you. Please keep posting weekly!!

[@_zedf656]

Yo I think I watch you and Seth more than any other channel combined here on KZbin you guys are my favorite, stay stoked

[@chipandpete]

Congrats on continuing to expand your limits. Our minds are the biggest factor in both limiting and expanding what we think we are capable of.

[@RyanMarcyesOutdoors]

Very Sick!! Nice Ride Bro. Keep exploring the limits, you are getting better almost every video!! Awesome Stuff Dude!!

[@legoP62519]

AWESOME FIRST DH BIKE TO RIDE. I have a Santa Cruz V10 C and it's a beast!!

[@The_Sampler]

Thanks Benjamin - that thing just soaks everything up, it's crazy!!

YA its great! Also, you should go hit up Bailey mountain bike park! it's in Marshal NC.

[@The_Sampler]

Got it already - it'll be in an upcoming vid :D

SWEET!

[@clarissawebb7652]

I just started watching your channel (I just got into mountain biking), and I gotta say, you have the best videos! This makes me really want to try DH! Have a Merry Christmas dude, hope you make it up to the northwest soon! We got some good riding up here!

[@The_Sampler]

+Clarissa Webb thank you SO MUCH Clarissa 😁 so stoked to welcome you to the channel

[@Mike_Jones68]

Its so great to hear your yells lol This is what lured me into the channel way way back then...I love the yells during the sick hits always Alex!! Man that place looks sick!! Gonna be doin some DH out here in CO come next spring!!

[@ziggy5141]

what i love about these trails is that they look so natural! i can just imagine it only took 3 thing to build them, hand tools, alot of time, and determination!

[@The_Sampler]

You got it Ziggy - and that's what we love about those trails!! So raw and natural, they keep you on your toes around every turn

[@curtisnewkirk6112]

Man, cool to see you met Neko Mullaly! He broke his wrist in the UCI DH world cup, great to see that he is back out on the bike!

[@curtisnewkirk6112]

Jacob Zimmerman, truth! Neko has a really gutsy way of rippin the trails. Did you see the last YT video when he was doing laps to get up to race speed for World Champs? It was like he hadn't broken his wrist!

[@magnifiresrealm]

This bike park seems so chill! I love the atmosphere!

[@everydaymtb4218]

Super badass! Love the video! I want to ride a DH bike so bad. Merry Christmas to you and all the STS fans!

[@robertomaldonado4814]

That’s INSANE!!!!! When u can see the steepness through a GoPro POV it’s steep as hell!!!! Wow!!!! I rode a downhill bike for the first the at Thunder Mountain and it took me the whole day to get used to the bike. By the time I was feeling comfortable with it, my legs just quit on me lol. Awesome vid as always

[@Kev5565]

Wow i love your enthusiasm it's so infectious, i wish i'd been able to do this when i was a lot younger lol.

[@jeffj5039]

There's excited, then there's Singletrack Sampler excited!!

[@coltsfan79]

You Seth and Brian are my hero's. Acouple of months ago Brian rode a trail where i grew up Mt. Hough Quincy Calif. made me homesick but hopefully i'll be able to get back there this spring or summer so i can ride it.

[@jimothyTX]

Dude, that's Neko Mulally...?!? You just glossed right over that, next thing we know you will be riding with AG like its no big deal. What a life! Alright, I will watch the rest of the video, maybe you mention later. That's awesome.

[@The_Sampler]

In the extended cut we have more of Neko, but regardless of what made it into the video, that dude was super rad!! I couldn't believe how chill and humble he was. We got to ride with him, and needless to say - fast AF!

[@jimothyTX]

Yeah, seems like a very chill dude. Big YT Mob fan, cant wait to see them get after it again next season. Love your videos and what you are bringing to the MTB KZbin community. Great stuff! #LFRHGS

[@waltrobinson407]

This video is so clean and so entertaining. So much to comment on. Windrock I'm coming for you.

[@paultrail-blocker6088]

Yo Alex! Love the channel!!!! Just snagged 1 of the "broken not buried" tee shirts. While I haven't sustained any serious injuries lately, it still fits. I'm ALMOST old enough to be your dad, but the stoke your vids give def keep me young and on the bike. I showed my wife the shirt and she loved it! Wish I could support you on Patreon, but hard times don't allow right now. Keep doing what you're doing!!! BTW, you look exactly like one o my best buds from high school, 'cept his hair was down to his ass. Hope you gety as much "tail" as he did!!!! LOL

[@CMLakotaFlute]

I loved the last part of the video where you spend some good time with the guys. It's also what we do with the gang here in Chile. Btw, I've got here because it will be my first time on a DH bike. Thanks for sharing :) Cheers!

[@joshhill6767]

It was fun watching your excitement after hitting the pro GRT line, reminds me of pushing friends at snowshoe to do double black steeps (which I know they have skills, fear holds back) and then when they get to the bottom and see there stoke having done it!! Good for you bro and awesome vid!!

[@Radxcor83]

You can tell after the bike park travels with Phil your skills have turned to 🔥. You've inspired me to start booking MTB trips and Windrock is going to be one of my first.

Ride Rate Review - lol yeah my first time I bombed a big huck, saved by the travel, my first duh rig was a giant glory 09 and it ploughed through everything lol

[@RickyDownhillRDH]

Great video!! It reminds me of my first time on a DH'er (Old Super 8), and all the times over the years, getting my buddies on one as well. My DH'er has saved my ass so many times I cant count, but I've also had the fastest/worst crashes ever on it too. Good times!!

[@hicksvillemtb]

Just watching this i'm grinning ear to ear, I can only imagine how much fun that is!

[@clintonjohnson5641]

Aw man, that brings back memories of the summer! Grand Targhee up here has a fleet of V10s and Rocky Mountain Maidens. The V10 totally felt like a couch (lol), and the Maiden felt really lively and playful like it was saying "JUMP THAT!" Both of them really inspire you to go stupid fast, too.

[@kotafey]

My mind cannot comprehend how quickly you fly through some of this stuff. The number of times I see a stretch in one of your videos and think "this is it... he's dead for sure"

[@freerangemtb]

Starting off today's video with bad news about Sheila! Noooo! I hope that wasn't a huge hit financially. Second, I thought I remembered you hitting Windrock with Seth! 2:27 - "It feels like a freakin' couch!" I have no idea what that means, but that needs to be on a t-shirt! 5:25 - Dude, you actually sounded like you were getting nervous there. Maybe just due to concentration? It's okay if you were getting nervous. Even the best get nervous sometimes, right? 5:46 - Looks like one heck of a rut, for sure! 7:00 - "We're skipping the black, we're skipping the double black and we're going to right to the Pro GIT? I don't know, man!" Stop making sense, Alex! Sheesh! 😂 7:44 - I don't know why, but I'm taking encouragement from watching you send something that makes you nervous. I think it's good for all of us to see that there are always going to be trails that challenge us. Even those who I consider to be very skilled have trails that push their limits. Thanks for sharing this part, Alex. 12:43 - No. No. No, no, no, nonononono. NO. It looks like Windrock is the place to be, man. I was looking at their web site on Tuesday, and there's no beginner trails. I don't know if I'm good enough for green trails, but there's only one way to find out. Thanks for bringing us along on your awesome ride and for sharing your experiences, Alex! And I hope Sheila is okay! Stay upright and keep the rubber side down. #lfrhgs -Brian

[@The_Sampler]

Hey Brian, great news!! They are working on putting in a green trail!! Thanks btw, part of the reason I love to show that I too get nervous and then still manage to conquer stuff is to help motivate others to do the same!!

[@Oakleaf700]

I was lent a good bike [Giant Reign] for a cross country ride, and it felt like a gorgeous squashy sofa ...loved it!!!

[@wohli666]

Hi Alex! First of all thx for your great videos. I stopped racing DH about 10years ago. Since then i bought dh bikes and sell them. My SC Nomad was the last reason i sold my GT Fury. You don‘t really need much more than 170mm of Travel and modern geometrey. But the DH makes you feel much more confident ;) all the best from Austria!

[@Musicsson]

Cool Vid, Alex. Reminded me of funny situation when two neighbors invited me to a bike tour... and forgot to tell me that there would be steep portions similar to those you rode. I was sitting on a XC bike... hardtail, no dropper post. Stopped at one jump, thinking: „should I jump, should I not?“... freakin steep. Thanks God I didn’t. :)))) For such Terrain one definitely needs such a „couch-bike“. :)))

[@juniper4009]
