Sittin' here eating a mama mia sub from Frankie T's deli during my lunch break while watching my boy Nate shredding the hell outta these trails.. does it get better than that? I don't think so.

[@natehills9388]

Stay hungry friend!

[@jverb26]

Love the sound of tires eating up dirt & rocks! Music to my ears! 👂🎼👂 🎼

[@BikeandSkiGeoff]

I used to live in Ahwatukee and loved bombing down those trails back in the day. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

[@barstoonarrow6580]

When I see someone riding on trails like these i think: someday, someday. Sickkkk! And those cacti, yowza!

[@knordberg]

Some techy rides lately. Until recently I didn't even know if you had brakes. lol

[@mtbbuddys2545]

i work 14 hour shift today come home relax in the couch and watch nate hills video , just great ....

[@trl-100coyote2]

Doing the same thing

[@natehills9388]

Do work son!

[@MTBdropIN]

Great video, yet again, bravo!!! that Trek has been catching my eye lately, I really need to try one out that red really pops against that terrain!!! Maybe it will make for awesome new bike day video sometime soon, we shall see!!! Those cactuses are the coolest!!! such an amazing trail!!!

[@bds7874]

Day = made, week = done. Thanks for sharing, again.

[@outofshapemountainbikersne4243]

At this point, I look forward to these vids more than I look forward to episodes of Game of Thrones. And not just because Ned Stark never dies in a Followcam Friday episode, either.

[@natehills9388]

Haha. Thanks for watching!

[@nathanwilliams562]

Another awesome video, another awesome trail. Don't think my ride tomorrow will be quite so extreme!

[@yam831]

Love watching your vids. They make my own gopro vids of the same trail less fun to watch though... sigh.... it sure felt faster when I was riding!

[@jonnyk6901]

You inspire me! Im starting my own meetup group in Ahwatukee, AZ, and share my passion! Thanks Nate!

[@natehills9388]

Get it!

[@Gotdurt]

Nice, the last ime I rode Corona, I was on a '02 Stumpy with less than 4" of travel... after this video, it's on the agenda for my next trip. I hope next Friday is Holbert...

[@natehills9388]

Redemption

[@garydecker3281]

Wow you can see the city. Years ago I would ride there and all you would see is smog!

[@bodowling6337]

as always another banger!!!! hey Nate,bring your signature bars back... hahahaha new ones are pretty plain,old ones was stylin.... lol

[@ALumpOfTofu2]

The cacti make me so nervous but nate's cool as a cucumber. Amazing video as always! Can't wait till next Friday

[@natehills9388]

Thanks for watching.

[@jbobfloggard2087]

I never miss one yet I missed it Yesterday!!! Better late then never. Solid. I wish bunny hopping felt as effortless as you guys make it look! ;)

[@mc540flip]

More AZ! More shedding! Nice man. I have yet to ride those trails at South Mountain, but I'm also on a 100mm XC bike. Probably not ideal.

[@natehills9388]

Just put some big tires on and you'll be dialed.

[@LINK80R]

Awesome, have never seen it sent that aggressively. I used to do that one weekly as part of a 30 mile loop up over and around the mountain. You HAVE to come down from the helipad, and also do Mormon loop if you haven't left yet. Nice riding, love your videos.

[@natehills9388]

Mormon is sweet. Thanks for watching.

[@LINK80R]

Try to hit the helipad at some point next time you are there. It's the only trail I've ever done where you can smell your tires and brakes cooking at the bottom. Send it!

[@dalmagik]

Just rode CDL today for the first time! Sick! As an out of towner to PHX, my local buddy directed us down this trail. He mentioned your vid so I had to come back and give it a scope! Sick on all accounts! Cheers!

[@natehills9388]

So good! Hope you drank a Corona post ride!

[@PunknKing_JT]

Looks like an awesome techy trail!

[@willbros1499]

Man, that looked ROUGH. Loved seeing how deep the trail were dug in. Wouldn't last two toad stranglers here in Arkansas, but it looks fun to ride! Great riding and video as always...keep 'em coming!

[@mitchwarren1600]

Never gets old . ✊

[@adamhart9555]

Sick looking trail! Got to remember this one next time I'm down in AZ. Thanks for the edit!

[@natehills9388]

Definitely ride this one.

[@bjorgorking8614]

I'm starting to get into mountain biking and theres no better place to start than beautiful Colorado

[@andye1597]

Sick as usual🤙🤘... best bit by far was homeboy on the trek straight up pull the "how you doin" to the hot hiker chick mid black diamond ride!! Haha savage af

[@natehills9388]

She was giggling.....

[@garrettbaker2697]

When the snow melts you need to make some summit county trail guides, it would be much appreciated!

[@Daddio66]

Awesome! looked very rocky, must of been hell on your arms..

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

Damn, techie as hell...... one front tire wash out and you come up looking like Pinhead. Another awesome ride!

[@alexthemtbr]

One on my favs dude!!! Such a good time 🤘🏽

[@cesslinger22]

Awesome!!! Love CDL.

[@1uniqueislander968]

whew, that was a bumpy ride and you nailed it! great video Nate 👍

[@natehills9388]

Thanks.

[@felipecabral4762]

Dude the first part is insane!

[@straightnobraker4677]

THAT is my type of trail! Great vid as always, king.

[@Blooben]

SoI go skiing for a week (every time I hit a jump on the snowpark I'm like "imagine this with dirt and my bike") get back to my hotel on Friday and sit there for three hours waiting for this video to load. It was worth it, ngl. Sick as always Nate.

[@Blooben]

Aosta Valley, Pila for the last week of the skiing season (snow was mostly gone by the end) for anyone questioning why I'm skiing at Easter; 'Twas cheap. :)

[@joeyrague2491]

Dude...you aren't human when you get on your bike lol did you ride bmx or bikes in general as a kid growing up? Waiting to see you shred geronimo man, that track is violent and I know you probably killed it. Maybe next week? #FollowCamFriday MUCH LOVE

[@natehills9388]

I have been riding bikes for all of my life and it definitely started on the BMX. Geronimo is rad.

[@SGMTB]

I would've flatted eight times on this run aha!

[@TimSchmidt_art]

You need to run tubeless if you're not already :)

[@SGMTB]

I did for awhile but I found it to be just too unreliable... even compared to tubes. I found if I'm not burping it frequently, then I'm only 2 psi lower than what I would run with tubes.

[@granthoff5039]

sick trail! Arizona looks like a sick place to ride.

[@LVCMTB]

Awesome trail !!!

[@matttengaio3618]

That was rowdy. Way to get after it! Keep up the stoke.

[@zacharyszir188]

Come to kingman man! There's good trails here

[@gekkardboy]

You guys don't take any crap from the AZ chunk. Great ride!

[@Mr_RichardH]

I was going to ask if you're riding 2x but I guess that's a new shape Reverb dropper remote?

[@natehills9388]

I haven't used a front derailleur for 10 years..... haha

[@shayrubino9862]

oh man some butt puckering exposure on some of those climbs for sure. Great video as always Nate !

[@natehills9388]

Don't fall right ....

[@clarkrw3]

Rode that last weekend with my 11yo...definitely didn't look the same as you raging it!! Amazing riding and video

[@natehills9388]

Impressive for the young one... That trail is no joke.

[@amgoatee3700]

super nice ride Nate

[@tntneonmtbiking7648]

Wonderful ride beautiful place.. Be blessed

[@roryspencer-nairn2809]

Would you ever think of coming to the UK and riding the most iconic trails around the country?

[@natehills9388]

Someday hopefully. Kinda busy currently...

[@CrazyBoutFishin2380]

wow! that looks like an awesome trail. make sure your brakes work. hehe

[@roostercogberm6875]

Dude, sick as always! Me and the Performance Bike shop guys will be riding South Mountain on Sunday. Sure not as hard as you guys though

[@natehills9388]

Rad! Have fun out there!

[@dnavarrette9471]

new bars? shorter and taller (more rise)?

[@TheBeardedMountainBiker]

Stunning scenery and another great video! I know you use a gimbal, but can you let me know how its attached to your chest mount?

[@natehills9388]

Standard mounts attach my gimbal to my Chesty. I am working on a setup video, stay tuned.

[@TheBeardedMountainBiker]

Perfect, thanks for the info. Keep up the great vids!

[@JefferDH]

nice place Nate...cool video..

[@natehills9388]

Thanks Jeffer.

[@HermanoToro]

Can I pay you to send me one of those cacti?! They look so gnarly, lol. Would really hate to go over the bars into one....

[@Mrvespasien26]

Hello ! How long hold your bearings of frame with this practice? Saddened for my bad English ..

[@michaelzwiener1902]

that was some sick trail. nicely done :)

[@tylerboyd8283]

You clear the whole climb up to CDL from the wash?

[@natehills9388]

1 dab. Need redemption. Chris rode it.

[@tylerboyd8283]

Nice! Can never get the whole thing, those damn switch backs.

[@yam831]

Me neither. One dab, that's legit.

[@Mounta1nKing]

What FOV do you use on the cam? Narrow, Medium, Wide? Been a while since I hit Corona. I think the last time was on my Super V, with a DD60 Headshok. 60 sweet millimeters of smooth travel, oh yeah. Good trail.

[@natehills9388]

4K 30 wide. Headshock!!!

[@donnymazinga5295]

Is that the new Reverb remote? If so, how're ya liking it?

[@natehills9388]

Amazing improvement so far.

[@noaswes]

Cool trail!

[@DanielDunn]

Nice stuff. What bike you riding? Wondering about travel. Always good from you homie.

[@natehills9388]

Hi Daniel. I am riding a test bike here. Don't know much about the numbers actually. 27.5 wheels. No idea about the travel. Felt big....

[@fxtacy]

Damn Nate, I've hiked up that trail, and it is gnarly! I've heard of crazy SOB's who ride down it, but I thought it was myth or legend. Now I know it's true! :-) The real question is, did you guys wait at the intersection of upper and lower corona de loma to strike up a conversation w/ the female hiker? I usually ride the lower Corona De Loma as part of my lunch time ride. Only 10 more days till broken wrist is healed and I'm cleared to ride!

[@natehills9388]

We definitely blew it, not waiting for the hiker.... Heal up!!!

[@matiasn.matusjaramillo9181]

Hi Nate, nice videos, as usual, I wanna ask you about your Yeti's stem, what's its length and angle? And what angle do you recommend for a 755mm handlebar trail bike? thx! :D

[@natehills9388]

I run 50 mm stems on all my bikes with zero rise.

[@matiasn.matusjaramillo9181]

have you tried 40mm? isn't more steerable?

[@natehills9388]

I run a 40 on my DJ actually. It's all personal preference.

[@jasno333]

Your bike is silent! Nice video

[@theguy3646]

Wow that was one sketchy trail!

[@etiennekaiser6049]

Nice ride Nate! Another question is coming up. Is it cheaper to build your own bike or would you buy a complete one? You inspire me to start my own MTB experiences. Thanks!

[@straightnobraker4677]

im not nate but definitely complete by far

[@etiennekaiser6049]

Oke, thanks for your fast answer! But if you buy the parts for less money, it should work. Right?

[@natehills9388]

That all depends on what you were trying to do but typically complete is cheaper.

[@etiennekaiser6049]

First of all thanks for your answer! I want to do the same stuff like you do 😉

[@natehills9388]

🤘🏻🤘🏻 Make it happen friend!

[@adrianpluskota7053]

Too rocky for me but still... breathtaking views

[@TeamWayPastFast]

Sweet ride. Great views. New handlebar?

[@natehills9388]

Test bike being ridden here.

[@TeamWayPastFast]

Ah. Cool. Nothing like riding your own rig, tho.

[@downsyy]

29er?

[@natehills9388]

27.5

[@ToothlessJVF]

Yo Nate, it would be sweet if you told us which Yeti model you're riding in each vid! It would be interesting to see which bike you choose for the type of terrain you're riding.

[@natehills9388]

I do have that info in most of my video descriptions lately. I am riding a test bike here and can't say much about it.

[@Hike_Bike_Explore]

Good stuff.

[@jaimebtt5059]

Your videos are awesome!!

[@natehills9388]

Thank you.

[@One_Tall_Kiwi]

Sweet view 👌

[@KurtRWalker]

How long is this ride? Looks like a goodie.

[@natehills9388]

The DH is 5 minutes.

[@KurtRWalker]

Thank you. Which trail is best to connect to it on South Mo

[@natehills9388]

I don't know the area is super well, but you could climb up national and make a giant loopout of this ride. May be a local will chime in and give some better info.

[@antrace92]

that Trek is sick

[@hazaryigit2287]

so good

[@tomwchlcz4594]

What is your logicial build ?

[@AngryOnlineShopper]

[@markkligerman6861]

Smooth trail

[@mattwypijewski4192]

Does Mandell work for Trek now? What bike is he on?

[@natehills9388]

Chris works for SRAM. I think that is a Slash??

[@Tokyo-taiyou]

[@MTSL1989]

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

Hammering like a psycho while hitting on the chicks - Just another Friday!

Standard operating procedure, haha.

[@jacobjacob8381]

Thats some rough terrain

[@willmcelroy8176]

What's your most favorite trail you have ever rode?

[@natehills9388]

El Choro in Bolivia. 15k DH.

[@VladGMuriii]

Fooock yeaaa

[@hygroscope]

Greetings from Russia!

[@natehills9388]

Greetings.

[@RedFinGroup]

Fucking rocks. Cactus. Hot as hell. No shade. Looks like Mars. The "soil" is either rocks or smaller rocks. So glad I get to ride in the Southeast and not in this desert shit pile. What do you do there in July and August? Just burn to death under the relentless desert sun?

[@yam831]

Naw, we're just not pussies here in the West. ;)

[@yasminsouza118]

BRASIL AQUI PORRA

[@VladGMuriii]

Who needs porn or a gf when you have Nate Hills

[@natehills9388]

I do.
