Riding Glorieta Trails with James Weingarten

[@natehills9388]

Thanks for keeping rocks in MTB, love your work Glorieta!

[@davidkuhny9574]

Thanks!

[@natehills9388]

Thank you David, much appreciated!

[@ronsanderson99]

I love these kinds of trails! Following your lead, I rode all the Hawes trails in Mesa last week…awesome!!

[@natehills9388]

Love Hawes!

[@garyharmon5386]

Awesome riding. Awesome video. Keep on pedlin’

[@50mtb44]

Technology & Engineering Testimony. This video shows how amazing the engineers are who developed the tires, wheels, and suspension to handle a fast paced ride through that rough terrain. Big bumps, ragged rattles, and jarring jumps. Here is a salute to the engineers who made all this possible ... and the riders like Nate and James who have the balls to push the limits.

[@seany2345]

I feel the same way about the trails in GJ.. the rain keeps washing all the dirt away leaving behind bigger and bigger rocks to smash through lol but I kinda like it

[@natehills9388]

I am also okay with this, haha

[@erikk.2435]

Those trails look like so much fun.

[@brookmiller2427]

Nice work! I’ll rewatch this a few times for sure.

[@keithwood9709]

Dude, reminds me of a video game where you can ride over any obstacle at top speeds, without any consequences. Super gnarly trail AND RIDIN'! Nice work!

[@natehills9388]

Just getting lucky, ha.

James is the goat and my favorite follow cam rider 🤘🏻

[@natehills9388]

Absolute legend!

[@johnglynn7795]

Nate, after getting home from Bangkok, its great weather to ride here in the AZ desert! Thanks for the wild ride and have a good weekend.

[@natehills9388]

Enjoy the weekend!

[@peterschoeffer6817]

my bud, this is the gnarliest thing ever. holy cow chunky death spikes

[@thomasmiddlebrooks5169]

Daaaayuuuum! That trail was brutal but it looked like fun to me.

[@BlueFlyer83]

Gotta be the nastiest trail I've seen you ride! Keep up the good work!

[@natehills9388]

Entertaining to say the least!

[@mattman237]

Amazing.

I'm ready for the new SB160 bike build video

[@natehills9388]

Me too. Wish I had one, ha.

[@1pho3nixmatt]

Did ya see their sweeeet new shuttle rig? Love that place.

[@natehills9388]

Didn't see the new shuttle rig...

[@LUCKYSOB]

You fellas never disappoint !!!! Always a pleasure watching how smooth James is. 😎 hmmmm noticed he's on a new steeeed 👀.

[@natehills9388]

James making everything look easy, as per usual. Legend!

[@LUCKYSOB]

@natehills... whoa really?

[@nmnate]

Proud to have this trail system a short drive away from my house. If the other trail systems in this area were designed similar to Glorieta, we'd be a MTB mecca.

[@cobykluth1878]

James wit da foot kick recovery! Noice

[@natehills9388]

Probably went a bit faster by doing that maneuver, ha

[@thim8009]

Would love to check out New Mexico. It looks fun.

[@natehills9388]

Do it!

[@professorpauloroberto2786]

Very good! 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲.

[@eugenespreutels8305]

Hell yeah, now that was some jank boys. A person could get hurt riding that, lol! Nice bit of riding with James, always makes it look easy.

[@natehills9388]

James is a legend!

[@jorgearielvillarreal3207]

techy beautifull ride !

[@NH-il6uc]

That looked like an awesome trail! Has the weight of the e-bike changed how you ride through the janky, rocky trails?

[@natehills9388]

My 53 pound rig is a wrestling match in the jank. Riding with finesse takes great strength and focus, haha.

[@jasonerskine8316]

Dang! My body hurts and teeth are chattering from this ride. James is one "Smooth Operator". Must put a grin on your face following him. Great riding.

[@natehills9388]

Always a pleasure watching James in his element.

[@davib7534]

If you Take the fork to the left at the bottom of chili dog you finish on what I call the waterfall. It was put in for the enduro races this spring. Its nothing but a giant 15 to 20 foot steep roller down a boulder but it was intimidating for my 66 year old bones. Love Glorita in back yard its 90 % of my riding.

[@bullseye0112]

That riding was Brutus maximus! Just so many decisions with so many rocks😂😬. Great riding. James looks like he's riding his normal bike floating around.

[@natehills9388]

Effortless riding from James. I think that bike weighs more than him;)

[@LUCKYSOB]

That looked violent. I'll have to ice my shoulders just watching this.

Rough as it gets! Live for it.

[@dank3823]

What is the grasshopper riding? Such a poppy but awesome ride.

[@natehills9388]

Not bad for wrestling around a 50 pound rig... ha

[@pappisto]

e-mtb... Yeti went there

[@TimMaddux]

Spicy! Haven’t seen a gimbal snap like that in a while.

[@natehills9388]

Not sure how my camera and gimbal keep working actually. Bad day to be my equipment, lol

[@robertkellett7965]

Straight up twist’n the throttle on that one And no braap sounds 👍👍👍

Giver the beans!

[@felixajorg]

You 🙌 on 🔥🔥

[@twentinq]

how much does it cost to repair a bike after such a trip ?!

[@natehills9388]

Seriously, ha. Depends how much you ride I guess. We got off easy.

[@twentinq]

@@natehills9388 a couple of times when you landed, it seemed to me that the shock absorbers crunched)

[@natehills9388]

haha, my suspension can take much more than I can dish out.

[@DuskPatrol]

Sick riding as usual. GoPro doesn't do these trails justice. They chunky!

[@matt_squires_og]

I love the trails that just go with the flow of nature instead of having to carve a pathway through, most likely started as an animal track and then with a clever bit of re routing here and there pick up a few features to make it more interesting to ride, and if you walked way from it instead of riding it would soon just disappear back into the landscape.

[@natehills9388]

Definitely a perfect example of working with the terrain, instead of against it. Work of art.

[@josephbwuzhere]

If Yeti asked you to try to break a bike, who would you follow and on what trail?

[@natehills9388]

I try to break my bike every time I ride it on every trail, behind everyone, lol

[@thefrontrangermtb5308]

Why is it called Jagged Edge again?

[@ckunstadt]

Bumblebees!!

Never not feeling it, that James.

Secret Trail on paper looks pretty meaty as well??????????????? Mabey another time?

[@natehills9388]

Rode Secret, there were about 20 down trees unfortunately. Chainsaw mission.

[@two2pedal289]

James not on his Santa Cruz, is that an e-bike he's riding?

[@natehills9388]

We are both on Ebikes. Not sure which Specialized James is on. Full powered one from a few years ago I think.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

In many segments, that did NOT look like a trail lol

[@natehills9388]

These trails don't get enough traffic to stay burned in fully. Definitely hard to follow in spots, haha

[@FlowFinderUSA]

How old is James? Just curious.

[@natehills9388]

Timeless.

[@invaderzimrocksify]

James is the old man everyone is scared to ride with

[@natehills9388]

For good reason.

[@scottbraden14]

So stoked for a possible new SB160 bike build coming soon ?! 🤷‍♂️🙋‍♂️🎉

[@natehills9388]

Same here, wish I had one already!

[@DRSpalding]

That looks like a place where you can get a lot of flats and one or two busted rims!

[@natehills9388]

Correct assessment, lol
