I can honestly say that in all of my years of traveling and riding bikes, I have never seen anything quite like this. The average mountain biker would have trouble riding down many of the features on Barrel Trail in Saint George, Utah. Fortunately, Braydon Bringhurst is an uphill ninja. This is some of the most unique and creative riding I have had the pleasure of witnessing. I was absolutely humbled. What a legend Braydon is. Uphill challenge hero!
This is week three of my "Season of Giving" to benefit the Grow Cycling Foundation. RockShox has been so kind as to kick a fork of the winner's choice into the mix, along with a zoom call with a suspension tech to help you get that thing dialed. Boxxer? Sid? Lyrik? Zeb.... What will you choose?Stay tuned next week as we add some prizes from my friends at Smith Optics. All of the winners will be announced on New Year's Day, 2021. Oh the suspense!
Since kicking off the Season with a custom painted Yeti of the winner's choice, and then adding some tires from Maxxis and a zoom call with Greg Minnaar, we have been able to raise almost 27K for the Grow Cycling Foundation. A huge Thank You to everyone who has entered to win. You are supporting an amazing cause that is increasing diversity and opportunity in our amazing sport that we all love dearly. Cheers y'all!
This was ridden on my Yeti SB130lr. Braydon was riding a new Canyon Spectral with wagon wheels.

[@hardtailparty]

Yes! This is the collab I've been waiting for.

[@natehills9388]

Just for you.

[@topspot4834]

1:38 how is that even possible? I've been here, the thought of riding up that never even crossed my mind. So much bigger, steeper and jankier on person. Sick vid as usual Nate!

[@natehills9388]

Uphill challenge!

[@Sck519]

Ya, wow

[@CraigCrider]

Mountain Goats watch Braydon ride and be all "Whuuut?"

[@natehills9388]

Correct friend. Braydon is special.

[@scottfast03]

Stoked!!!! Finally ordered my SB130 ! Been saving for a while and Can. Not. Wait.

[@natehills9388]

Sweet man, enjoy that thing!

[@vitalmtb]

SO RAD! you both make it look way too smooth and easy!

[@natehills9388]

I was just getting lucky, haha. Braydon is the man!

[@50mtb44]

Braydon is a tech climbing machine! Thanks for showing the "conquering climbing challenges" and the active (not passive) downhill action. Nate, your POV rocks!

[@andrefoersterling1965]

The climb from Braydon is amazing!!! so smooth!!

[@mrvwbug4423]

Once you got onto the trail proper it was like "oh this looks like a pretty run of the mill ... HOLY STEP DOWN!" haha.

[@PiercesPOV]

What an awesome episode Nate ! Two of my favorite riders destroying my local trails, what a treat to watch. Braydon, you shouldnt be able to go up some of this stuff ! 😂 🤟

[@jkamer2168]

I'm not a fanboy of much of anything or anyone. Never been star struck. But I'd love to sit down and have an espresso with this dude. Coolest vibes in the MTB world. Keep rockin' it. You the man, Pete. ;-)

[@Rich_Trujillo]

Holy crap, that climb up the water fall at 1:33 is not justified...I didn't even go all the way down to the bottom let alone think of pedaling up! Amazing

[@natehills9388]

One of the more impressive things I have ever seen.

[@smoothisfast6644]

Incredible climbing waterfall.

[@kirkcheney9090]

I knew he did it in one of his prior videos but to do it under pressure/on demand...he's nuts.

[@gamberride9780]

The climb. The riding. The footage. Its all awesome! Love your vids! Love that this trail is 5 minutes from my back door.

[@dsm02c]

Your videos inspire me to progress my riding, but I can say for sure I never want to get good enough to do the type of riding in the beginning of the video. You guys are awesome.

[@etbiker4840]

I can’t watch this stuff without the urge to go jump on my bike and start shredding 🤙

[@natehills9388]

Get out there!

[@knordberg]

He flies thru the air with the greatest of ease, that daring young man on the Yeti SB. The drone footage over that big drop was so sweet. Great vid Nate.

[@natehills9388]

Thanks for watching!

[@cellphonenut]

Dunno whom to praise first. Braydons one off climbing or Nate not being drop by a pro have his age. Well close. To summit up this footage has been an absolute joy to watch thank you for sharing

[@Noondog]

Killer. He was a world class collegiate athlete. A treat to see some of those skillsets applied on the bike!

[@lostman65]

this is so cool!! you guys are so fast and smooth... very inspiring

[@zigzachmtb2821]

I didn't even know people tried to climb the waterfall!..🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@natehills9388]

People don't try and climb the waterfall. haha.

[@timothystiles3358]

Happy Holidays Pete and Nate. Ride on!

[@toneloke7489]

Friggen mountain goats 🐐🐐🤟🤟🤟

[@SuperGodDamnit]

Inspiration. (As Always)

[@kodygrant2896]

Pete's drone skills are top notch! Aiming for heads hahaha. Thanks for the content Nate. Take care!

[@natehills9388]

Pete is progressing on the daily.

[@jdwells7233]

Happy trail holidays to you all. Pete.....! Rocks....

[@williamkinzel3635]

nice! cool to see you guys riding trails that a normal dude like me can and have ridden!

[@chriscollins1378]

I like the way you keep your pov audio during drone foog. Love your vids. Keep on keepin on🍻

[@troycarpenter3675]

Love the drone view. Great riding.

[@GoFastDontCrash]

Once again great footage, and talented riding in amazing geography!! Appreciate the motivation Nate!! Makes me want to pack up the family and travel more!!

[@natehills9388]

You should!

[@chrispobanz1161]

The drone footage is great, it helps to eliminate the go pro effect. I’ve ridden this trail many times, cool to see how the pros do it.

[@robhughes645]

That's the reason I got a Spectral, I saw the Canyon vid with Mr Bringhurst riding one up mountains and thought, who needs an e-bike. Unfortunately my engine doesn't seem to have the same settings but I do enjoy the bike -)

[@bimmerfan729]

Wow....that was some landscape!

[@RidingMyBestLife]

I’ve had the privilege of riding with Braydon .. I remember watching him scout out a line, and see things that I would never see .. a true visionary on a bike .. thanks for sharing this awesome edit of one of my hometown trail systems 🤘

[@natehills9388]

Definitely a different eye for terrain. Inspiring.

[@Projectnortheast]

Man, would love to have a trail like this anywhere near me... I'd lap it daily! Another killer vid!

[@magellan1818]

Great riding, beautiful scenery, absolutely brilliant footage, and all for a good cause. You sir, are a gentleman and scholar! Keep up the good work Nate!

[@natehills9388]

Thank you kindly!

[@tlouie32]

Solid my dude. Merry Christmas. 🤘

[@ElevationEveryWeekend]

Skillz!!! Stunning riding as usual! 🤙🏻

[@natehills9388]

[@canmtb4676]

Love the canyon new Spectral ! I have Canyon Lux and love it.

[@scottking3349]

I love the overlay of the audio during the drone shots. nice work.

[@natehills9388]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jasonerskine8316]

Another great video Nate. Great scenery and excellent riding.

[@natehills9388]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mattbare2803]

Great video as always. That footage at the beginning with the climbing was TIGHT 👌

[@natehills9388]

Glad you enjoyed it

Super cool trail! 🤟🏼😎🔥

[@natehills9388]

Never not.

Man can that man climb 💪🦾🦾

[@fooblahblah]

Thanks for posting this! I'm headed to that area first week of Jan and now I have another trail to hit.

[@natehills9388]

Have fun!

[@vmxd]

This time, I was wearing a helmet, while watching! I am safe and the climbs are amazing !

[@natehills9388]

Preparation is key.

[@mtbeliever5833]

I like how you tell us which bike you’re on in description. Sick 👊🏽

[@sr.balong4140]

Tnx for the vids bro that was nice...

[@gregwebster8784]

That was a good one!

[@LexZolnir]

Spiderman on a bike! And impervious to cold bc you were bundled up like a Inuit!

[@natehills9388]

A bit chilly in the desert this time of year.

This scenery. Sheesh

[@BikeLifewithRob]

Good vid man!

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Sweet Brother, stoked to see more hardy climbing and 3rd person views, the "jumping climbing" WTF awesome. Another suggestion for you. First, your instant replays with the drone or first person views are way good! On the best ones . . . I urge you to shoot in 4k 60FPS if possible and slow that goodness replay down a bit! That killer banking jump deserves it. I'm not sure if your GP7 or Skydio can do it??? Been there and WOW, that is some harsh rough unforgiving stuff, crazy climbing through those funky mushroom rocks huh? Maybe I took a slightly different way up? Didn't see'em?

[@eugenespreutels8305]

Yeah Pete! What a fun trail, crazy how they just built all those ramps on and off those big slabs, too cool. How about if I win I get to hangout with Pete and you for a day and try to kill myself keeping up with you guys! Lol!!

[@natehills9388]

Deal. Thanks for entering!

[@gregstevens2917]

Savage!

[@ronsanderson99]

It’s a jump fest! I’ve ridden Barrel, but I don’t look as good as you guys! But it’s one of my favourites...thanks! Love St. George!

[@8664antonio]

great ride!

[@natehills9388]

Thanks!

[@lifeabovethepedals7607]

My front yard trail!

[@Azazel518]

btw way...ever thought of doing a quick van tour b4 heading on a ride..we only get snippets the your making coffee etc. looks like a nice fit out

[@natehills9388]

Trying to keep the channel about mountain biking. I know the van thing is hot on KZbin right now but that is not why I do this.

Nice video! 😉

Sweet! Any chance we get some ski content this season??

Wooww very nice bro love you

Thanks

1:55 would have been where i collapsed onto that cactus

04:50. Woh.. It seems you've just to jumped a wall! Need more GoPro like the last incredible ride at Kong. Keep fun and ride as a savage.

[@okiecalvin64]

It would be so humbling to ride with him...or you for that matter, just wow!

[@natehills9388]

Braydon is as humble as they come. I was humbled riding with him, lol.

[@okiecalvin64]

@@natehills9388 you both seem very humble but skilled AF!!!

[@MountainBikingTrips]

Hi NATE I upgraded my fork to Lyrik Ultimate, do you have some special pro TIPS like set up it? THX

[@jddallager1699]

Nate: Thanks for showcasing Bikerbrayd! I'd never heard of him until seeing this, but a bit of time on the innerwebs brought me up to speed. He's quite the phenom! Supposedly he's only been MTB'ing since 2016. He interprets MTB'ing way different than most (up, down, all around). And is a terrific rep for Canyon. Two quick Qs: (1) How'd Pete get the name? (2) What Arcteryx jacket were you wearing? Keep up the vids .. exceptional content, videography, talent.

[@natehills9388]

Braydon has a very unique vision for the sport. So refreshing. Pete looked like a Pete from day 1.... If Arcteryx would start printing the names on the jackets, I could tell you. I honestly can't remember which one this is. They make hundreds of jackets, none of which have the name anywhere to be found on the garment.

[@jddallager1699]

@@natehills9388 At my age, 73, I like his vision. It seems to be "Rule #1 is FUN!" Up, down, and around! You both are incredible!! Many thanks!

[@ark6959]

Awesome! Nate, you should contact Dave Camp in COS (SRAM) and ride some trails with him. He’s also a ninja. ;-)

[@natehills9388]

I have known Dave for a very long time. Ninja, no question!

[@pulganabike1648]

Without trails.. no problem.. I making mine..

[@GossieMTB]

Can this guy clear a line backwards???

[@natehills9388]

One man's takeoff is another man's landing....

[@OGMTB]

Are these all different individual prizes or are they all going to one winner?

[@natehills9388]

These weekly prizes will be going to different winners.

[@Azazel518]

hey Nate see if Braydon can climb as well with all your camera gear in his back 😎

[@natehills9388]

Braydon is better at tech climbing than me, with or without a pack. He may be the best in the world at this style.

[@davisbenson664]

Uphill ninja indeed. Some use trials to get through the tech. Braydon uses sheer will.

[@natehills9388]

I love this style of keeping the wheels rolling. So fun to watch!

[@benanderson4639]

3:24 those noises don't sound health 🤣

[@MrMrRioes]

You were probably asked this 103217 times before, but i could not find an answer: How much tension do you run on your Shimano's SPD pedals? :-)

[@travistweedle9674]

Wonder what kind of power #'s he is putting up to climb that sketchy stuff.

[@ToddNZMTB]

what were we listening to at the end there? 08:36

[@nattytambam]

are scandi flicks only for clipless pedals

[@natehills9388]

Pedals don't matter.

[@mikerobertson9787]

What is that intro music!?!

[@BGbikeandski]

Haha sweet my names brayden

[@EdWilsonPhoto]

Sounded like a blender full of spoons,,,

[@natehills9388]

Music to my ears.

You might have done Canyon publicity here, because that color looks AWESOME!
