[@1xbikes]

Thanks for posting. This is what a day at the bike park looks like. Some clears, some cases. Good fun, no spills, fun with friends.

[@The_Sampler]

If you're curious what it looks like to know the trails and ride them at a faster pace, @steadyspin also made a video from the day here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoSxh56Oj51jetU&ab_channel=SteadySpin Stoked to ride here again and figure these lines out better!

[@SteadySpin]

Cheers

[@OmnieStar]

Seeing Kev go from showing up in a cyclocross helmet to a dirt jump park, Into fat laps at an uplift park. Is super sick! Can't wait to see more of you on the e-bike, but that orange color has kinda become a staple of the channel for me! LOL

[@joed899]

when I'm stuck at work most days and it's pissing rain on my days off it's great to watch your chanel when I get home and almost feel like I've been for a ride. Thanks Alex.

[@wisetreep99]

Love your videos... you have so much energy and a joy to watch the trails.

[@willkeene661]

Y'all gotta do a video at snowshoe. I could ride the letter trails all day.

[@ddoornew]

Loved the video. A couple of buddies and I are headed up there end of August. Great trail info. Love all your stuff. We do a couple trips each year, and you are our guide. We just came back from Pisgah. We've been to Bentonville and Sedona as well. I'm tasked as the trail guide and before we hit a trail, I check to see if you've ridden it. Can't thank you enough. Santos (FL) is my home trail. Next time you're down our way, I would like to tag along. We really enjoy your stuff!

[@kevanray]

Dude, loved this video! So real. Keep them coming!

[@jbaileygunter]

Good riding with you dude! Hope the trip goes/went well🤘🏼

[@js1198]

This is the best mtb channel, you cannot change my mind

[@victorrosario4109]

Awesome Video. Any bike park is a good day of riding regardless of gnarliness or flow its always a great experience. I will be going to Beech mountain next weekend. God bless and stay safe.🤙🏻

[@mtbtube1948]

Great vid again Alex! Looks like they made some nice tweaks to Beech!!!

[@haemmertime]

Nice riding, despite being kind of being underbiked which definitely makes every trail way more difficult. I'm stoked for what's coming next.

[@k9kayaks]

Can’t wait to see your new adventures 👍🚵🏻

[@Biking_with_Akiva]

Thanks for sharing Alex great first bike park day 🤙🏾

[@jonathanculpepper5568]

Good stuff! Work there in the winter as a repair technician. Coming back mid-july so I hope to be getting some laps in here soon!

[@pridemor3912]

Beech mountain was the first and only bike park I have been to and I haven’t been there in a couple years. I had the same reaction heading into the green trail lol but at least they fixed the start, it was a rough drop previously. At least for a green trail anyways. Loved seeing the changes to the trails

[@collintaplin]

Thanks for catching a few laps with us Alex! Just caught the video and I’m glad you decided to post it..

[@alldecentnamestaken]

I've always wanted to check out Beech Mountain. Thanks for this video!

[@Sgreenberglkn]

Thanks for the vid Alex, totally stoked you liked Beech's Park. The new Trail Boss Sam and his crew worked really hard this summer.

[@manuelsegalex]

Thank you Alex for showing us these places! I’ll add this one to my list!

[@The_Sampler]

Technically it was @steadyspin showing ME this place, so we should both thank him :P

[@manuelsegalex]

I Definitely appreciate Kevin also. He’s channel is one of my fav also! Thank you guys!!

[@manuelsegalex]

I actually never been to any bike park so his advice might come in handy for us Floridans with no real mountains to shred.

[@drkslider1182]

Great video man looks like alot of fun!

[@asherbelanger5266]

Love what you do Alex keep up the great work

[@The_Sampler]

Thank you so much! You keep watching, I'll keep making 🤘

[@austinhodkin9483]

Sweet bike!!! Thanks for the vid!

[@jamesendres4591]

Those lifts are even worse in the snow! 😂. Looks like I need to finally test Beech out as a bike park!

[@05GDF]

Helll yea Kevin and Alex 🎉good riding

[@shaunomeara843]

Love your work keep up with the vibes !!...👍🤟

[@user-vb2oy2ul1c]

Imagine getting spend the day riding downhill with an entire bachelorette party. The luck😂

[@gregstevens2917]

LMNT is awesome...take advantage of this deal, y'all. Great video, Alex!

[@charliewilliams5056]

Sweet laps! Hope you were able to check out some of the new tech trails at Emerald Outback while you were up at Beech. Super cool features and terrain.

[@jbiker12]

Sick!! I am going to a dh park the first time this season too.

[@mtbdadcebu2268]

Good stuff, great trail.

[@ACBYT]

Eurotrip on the horizon? You gotta come ride in Catalonia, some enduro days around Barcelona and then park days in the Pyrenees for an epic España trip!

[@XRS_Pioneer]

Love that place!

[@SteadySpin]

Great day on the bike slapping laps.

[@eddie1140]

Wow the guy with the Vulcan shirt is SICK!!!!!

[@rupedog]

Another recommendation for my upcoming trip to Asheville🙏🤘

[@DownhillJake]

Sick video! That lift is painfully slow at times, especially on a weekend. They used to have a high speed detachable lift but it got replaced by what they have now 😢

[@bread.embleton]

that blue trail is sick af

[@user-dm8zn5qp3s]

Great video! You are the youtuber that originally got me into mountain biking and have really inspired me! Do you think i could shred at beech with a giant talon 2? Thanks and good video!!

[@jaxmtb]

i rode there on that same bike it’s fun!

[@tomassanesson902]

Awesome video

[@carl_thunder]

Nice to see other bike parks. I plan on hitting up Sky Park here in SoCal in the next few days. Btw, what did you think of those Vittoria tires? Did you like them?

[@RapidoRafi-MTB]

I definitely should have watched your whole video before hitting the blue lines 😅last weekend.

[@dddalton23]

I snowboard there. Really thinking about buying a cheap mountain bike, and giving that a try.

[@jtleejr]

That little super slow, lift attendant guy is a wild man though lol

[@The_Sampler]

Yea he was a character!!

[@MTBridge]

WE SAW YOU AT BEECH!!!

[@ignaciotapia6704]

The Mango chili is 🔥

[@ericsharp5079]

Fucking love these videos, don’t second guess your vids! Just line seeing and hearing your stoke while out on the trails!

[@augu_3st613]

Great vid!! You should come back to windrock... some new trails ;P

[@The_Sampler]

Man I need to! Been way to long

[@FingersSaucy-sf2tq]

You should go back to Whistler and make a video about getting your jumping skills back. That would be a super cool video.

[@maxdare9023]

I'm in Iowa and at the same time I went on my first mbt ride of the year

[@markfromtinder9616]

You gotta come back to Snowshoe man!

[@cellphonenut]

Right on Alex sometimes its better to regress to progress taken from the oh so wise Roxy Rides

[@CraigO888]

Thanks!

[@The_Sampler]

Yoooo Craig, dude, thank you my man!! 👊🤘

[@64chrisg]

Riding smart is always the best bet :)

[@emilrasmussen4832]

I sense sampling in Europe 🕺🥳

[@sirpanda33]

Bro i had my first time ever at a bikepark and it was awesome

[@kennymorris6329]

Excellent transition into the LMNT ad! Well played. I'm sitting here typing to kill time until the ad is done. Well chairlift is at the top gotta go...😉

[@The_Sampler]

haha thanks dude, much appreciated! Hope ya are enjoying the next lap!!

[@bermroller]

I miss wet dirt, all my loamers here in washington are bone death dry 🥵

[@richardseller3733]

You should have taken KSL unless they have no emtb on lift policy. It's basically S brand Enduro and you probably would not notice the weight

[@8664antonio]

for trail biking take an ebike and for park biking a mini downhiller.

[@lja3657]

Wait to you ride the lift at Marquette mountain. Shortest longest lift ride you will take.

[@The_Sampler]

hahaha if it's a short lift that makes it even more painful cuz you have to do it so many more times in a day... oof!

[@jerry9116]

what tire pressure did you run at the park?

[@litlbuff]

My buddy Greg and I are in the background at 3:25!

[@offdaystv]

I want to paint the inside of your van.. that raw wood look bothers me 😂

[@MichaelRei99]

With age comes wisdom.

[@alexandernickos2213]

I would say Sugar's green is the only "beginner friendly" around here but talking bike parks nothing really is 🤣

[@big2krush_mtb115]

Killington????? You coming to outter bike?

[@1239875650]

come on down to jarrods place!

[@The_Sampler]

ohhh it's on my to do list for sure!!

[@BlackMan614]

alex chatting up the ladies.

[@s3aitken]

taking the trip with brian to slovakia or canada? 👀

[@youling1997]

Lift speed greatly affects how many laps I can get in. Hate slow lifts

[@rando4468]

Your ceiling is warping a bit! ;-(

[@altafari]

To anyone who knows, what is the difference in Beach's and Sugar's bike programs?

[@brandihodges9548]

Beech is less steep/more tech

[@ghost_control3276]

I can't afford to ride my bike this year

[@hugotayton6138]

first comment🎉

[@SteadySpin]

True

[@tehgearz]

Why not ride the new eBike?
