[@Pozitivi]

Awesome :)

[@ElTerrible2011]

Thanks man 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@Pozitivi]

@@ElTerrible2011 You're welcome..That's ok! You supported me first!

[@Pozitivi]

Now it's my time to give support 🤘

[@KeanuSwayze]

He returns! Spirit looks so fun. I regret not making it up there before leaving MN.

[@ElTerrible2011]

You moved out east right? Where you at? Hopefully the grass is greener as far as riding options are concerned. Spirit was great, waaaay more tech than I had imagined for some reason. Definitely a place where I can improve upon that style of riding.

[@KeanuSwayze]

@@ElTerrible2011 Yeah I am in northern NJ. We do have plenty of riding here. Plus a lot in PA, NY, and New England. Tech for days. But I still miss Duluth and the North Shore of MN.

[@Dialed1]

@@KeanuSwayze I’ll be heading out to the east soon, tomorrow actually. just waiting for the fires and smoke to die down a bit.

[@KeanuSwayze]

@@Dialed1 It's much better in NJ/NYC today than yesterday. It was crazy yesterday with the orange sky. Hopefully clear enough by tomorrow to go outside again.

[@Dialed1]

@@KeanuSwayze That’s good to hear!

[@halffasthugo]

Nice riding!

[@ElTerrible2011]

Thanks Hugo! I was definitely moving half-fast down these first time descents at spirit in an effort not to go over the bars 🙃

[@halffasthugo]

@@ElTerrible2011 I love riding there but it does take its toll on my 60 year old a$$!

[@ElTerrible2011]

@@halffasthugo Hey, You’re still getting after it! 🫡

[@Dialed1]

Good to see this video pop up from you! Epic day of riding at one of my favorite spots. Your dialogue and inserts kept me wildly entertained. Man Kirk can shred on the board and the bike! Spirit Mountain, where veterans go to for the real, raw and wild experience!

[@ElTerrible2011]

You were the perfect guide, brother. Kirk may not have heeded your advice on Monkey Business but I definitely was. We’ll need to get back up here if not the end of the season then the next for sure. There’s probably still a ton for us to explore and alternate lines hidden in what we’ve ridden over already.

[@Dialed1]

@@ElTerrible2011 No doubt! Let’s go!

[@grinnsessions]

Guided through the rock tumbler by your fearless leader! Love the commentary as always! You still own one of my favorite quotes of all time "I'm a double baby blue kinda guy" This was not that kinda day... HA. Glad to see you putting something out there!

[@ElTerrible2011]

Ha, forgot about the double baby blue diamond rider comment. Yeah I’m happy I finally got out to spirit last year. It definitely got me out of my comfort zone which is good.

[@northofforty6190]

nice, looks great. last time I was up there I was on a rigid singlespeed 😬 which is a bike I love but not exactly appropriate. top of my list for places to get back to this summer.

[@ElTerrible2011]

A rigid single speed at Spirit? Which trails did you hit? Or hit you? I imagine it will be a very different experience your next time up on the other rig. At the top of my list for a return trip as well.

[@MinnesotaMTB_]

YOU'RE BACK!!! Love the video man hella fun to watch🤘

[@ElTerrible2011]

Took me ages, but it feels good clear up some space on the SD card and capture some memories from last year. Wish my riding wasn’t so subpar here though 😅 First time encountering Spirit’s tech had me lollygagging down the trail while Jeremy and Kirk were ripping down it.

[@robonbikes]

Great vid, really makes me want to get back there, a lot of great variety in trails! Loved the ending with the car horn 😂

[@ElTerrible2011]

Thanks man. Spirit is a blast.

[@ridindirt]

Lol nice ending! Stoked to see a video from ya again! Heading up there tomorrow 🤙🏻

[@ElTerrible2011]

I actually clipped in some of the audio from Jeremy taking that nose dive off the skinny at Reservoir Woods that day in an effort to make it sound somewhat authentic. that as well as a guy sprinting into a sedan, a car alarm going off, some roadie’s contaminated brakes, and audio of Jeremy screaming at casing a jump 😅 still probably looks fake as shit but I figured it would be clownin’ regardless. Have fun up there dude. I need to get back up there this year myself. I feel like myself and others from the metro and gonna come in way more equipped for jumps and drops at the bike parks thanks to what you and the rest of the Pathfinder crew made at Monarch. Straight up. Still kinda shocked that thing got approved and is actually here. It’s right up there with discovering fire 🔥 the invention of the printing press or the industrial revolution in terms of importance. You’ll get a bronze statue you out of it at the silo for sure dude. 🤙🏼

[@ridindirt]

@@ElTerrible2011 😂😂 cheers brother! 👊🏻

[@Kirk_Knoll]

HE'S BACK!!! Man, this day was such a blast we have to get back here ASAP. Many laughs were had and you did a great job of illustrating that 👏 Appreciate the quick intro as well! 😎 I didn't realize until I watched a couple of times the sound affects are from THPS 😂 Perfect!

[@ElTerrible2011]

Yeah mang, glad you caught the reference. I also gave you Mr. Beast’s KZbin subscriber count and official ✔ Sorry for blind siding you with the video drop but I just really need to put one out there to get back in action. I figured if I told you I was gonna release it I would procrastinate for another week for whatever reason 😅 Hopefully this will get my ass back in gear.

[@Kirk_Knoll]

@@ElTerrible2011 😂 I caught it but was just hoping nobody else would lol Yeah dude, keep 'em coming! We miss your vids 🙌

[@AndrewGehn]

He's back at it! Spirit is definitely my favorite bike park with all that classic Duluth chunder and rocky tech. Gnarly trails for sure but you had a Dialed in trail guide. Kirk does know how to shred on a skateboard, the THPS effects were awesome!

[@ElTerrible2011]

Jeremy was a great guide as he’s about as much of a Duluth local as someone who lives in the MSP area can possibly be 😂 You’re the newly appointed subject matter expert with respect to Duluth and the North Shore now though. Yeah man, Kirk’s a practitioner of that different type of tech. Dude’s a wizard on four wheels and is progressing pretty quickly on the bike too. Glad you picked up on the THPS sound effects.

[@RidewithTenzin]

Keep going boi !! 🔥🔥

[@ElTerrible2011]

Thanks man. I know you’re loving the PNW, that place is magical.

@@ElTerrible2011 Yaboi ! 🫡
