A 6000' Descent in Mexico | First annual Yeti Gathering MX

My new bike- bit.ly/YetiSB1...
Put this event on your short list for 23. Unless you don't like sweet trails, great people and Mezcal...... Huge thanks due to Yeti MX for hosting us and making memories that will last a lifetime.
It was an absolute pleasure to attend the first annual Mexican Yeti Gathering last week in Querétaro, MX. The culture, food, people, and hospitality were second to none. Trails were ridden, mezcal was consumed, lifelong friendships were forged. I am eternally grateful for this experience.
I can't even explain how good it feels to get back to international travel after a few years. 4 Palos is one for the ages, dropping 6000' into the valley below, where we were greeted with sandwiches and cold Modelo's. It doesn't get much better than this.
Watch closely as Shawn Neer gives a master class in cornering technique and backwheel games with all the exposure. Special guest appearance by MX loc dog, Patricio Zorrilla.

[@natehills9388]

The shenanigans at 11:17 melted my brain. Shawn is special.

[@TimMaddux]

No backslope is safe from his relentless assault!

[@chaseadventure]

Hahah Brain melting is a perfect way to describe this!!

[@DailyNeighborhoodRide]

Insanity for 20 seconds straight….🤯

[@rataflas]

Epic

[@nickferris3761]

for real man wtf

[@marcoantonio78]

4 palos is mind blowing, me and my wife did it last year, can’t believe Shawn is doing wheelies on places I was scared of going off a cliff. Probably the best downhill in all of Mexico. A hidden gem for sure. Yeti Mexico really did a great job taking you guys on that route

[@natehills9388]

Feeling fortunate to experience that one. Glad you got to sample it as well. Nothing like it.

[@BobRossRulez]

The middle and the end don't make sense unless you watch the beginning. In sum, watch from start to finish. Wicked riding and awesome trail! Kudos!

[@stumpy25lbs]

I think I've watched most of your videos - this one is near the top in terms of insane skills with significant consequences! 🤙🏼🤘🏼🙏🏼

[@poleczechy]

Love watching Shawn ride. One smooth operator.

[@seany2345]

Shawn Neer is a savant on a bicycle.. this trail looks so dope!

[@ems0001]

Thanks for the 14 minutes of anxiety.. the exposure is real.

[@havasufreedom3031]

Dude!! Beyond Epic!! My hands and feet are sweating! I’m afraid of the edge of my couch as I watch!! Marvelous!!! Wow!! More words!!

[@knordberg]

Yeah, I was leaning in my chair on the tight switchbacks. lol

[@natehills9388]

Don't fall left, lol

[@biciente3C]

Tremenda bajada!! que plasticidad!! Nice. Saludos desde España

[@briangong007]

Dude this is Mexicos Mt. Wilson n Socal! Neer was.off the hook!!

[@natehills9388]

Haven't had the pleasure.

[@oliverhervaz5637]

Incredible routes Querétaro Mexico a big hug Nate hills🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@marek19]

Epic. Absolutely epic! I could smell the brake pads all the way into my living room!

[@natehills9388]

You and me both!

[@dkone1746]

Mt Neer absolutely shreds!!

[@natehills9388]

Master class.

[@mithrandirtheistari]

Classic sick trail in the area, love riding it! Part of what always amazes me is going trough at least 3 different micro-climates as you go down. Having some cecina or fried fish with a cold one next to the Bucareli building after the ride is bliss!

[@natehills9388]

We had fresh sandwiches and Modelo before heading back up to ride a different trail. Perfect day.

[@ronsanderson99]

Now that is a descent!!

[@dav31078]

Such a beautiful place. Hope you got to spend some time in the city too!

[@natehills9388]

Got a bit of everything on this trip. I love Mexico!

[@aleksride2503]

beautiful and dear Mexico

[@natehills9388]

The best!

[@jonathanjones8895]

11:17 blindly manualing a corner into some sort of side hit whip….Holy Lord!!

[@woodpecker6452]

That’s is some amazing riding from Shawn

[@antisquattingslavsmtb]

This is one of the most epic scenery I've ever seen! It's like fantasy video game!

[@michiganmafiamx5543]

That seems way more intense than white line, great video and ride👍

[@natehills9388]

Quite the opposite, haha.

[@petedog9581]

Sick! No berms nor braking bumps planned in this trail. Designed by nature and traffic. Nice and raw. Manuals on that sketchy scree w that exposure... "Neer" insanity!

[@natehills9388]

I think this one is 200 years old if i'm not mistaken.

[@crizo23]

Ok this vid was the best in a long time. That Shawn guy is unreal !

[@natehills9388]

Shawn is a legend!

[@Mtb9r]

The sound of that shell rock is epic along with that ride. Wow. Bucket list added.❤ I got arm pump just watching this loved it.

[@jayweiss602]

Incredible trail & sick riding, nice work! Shawn your x-tra sick!

[@MarioXcore1]

What a location!! Amazing man, seriously

[@DuskPatrol]

Daaaaaaamn dude. All your videos are sweet, but this is one of those truly epic ones. What a rowdy trail in a truly epic location.

[@natehills9388]

This trail left an impression on me.

[@MyMTBVideoYouTube]

Wow ❤ the trail and the skills wow . Kept holding my breath like it was my life on the line. Respect.

[@1pho3nixmatt]

What a masterclass of stylish turning. The exposure is quite extreme there also. Sick riding as always.

[@timfoster268]

SICK man, that was a great watch!!😁👍

[@natehills9388]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TimMaddux]

Shawn is a ninja. Look how he vanishes in a puff of dust at 6:10.

[@natehills9388]

Unreal skill coming from Shawn. He isn't even trying, haha.

[@GoFastDontCrash]

Dinner plates down looked gnarly! Reminds me of SoMo. Fun watching Neer ride!

[@steve_exclamationpoint]

So, sick. Shawn is a beast!

[@natehills9388]

Absolute legend, that Shawn.

[@AGMTB]

Dam Nate this trail is sick crazy and stunt man in front of you even crazyer haha - realy like to watch this one

[@natehills9388]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@garyharmon5386]

[@abstraddic0442]

Amazing riding Tough as heck. Great job Guys Thanks for the share!

[@DroppingIn]

Incredible riding!!!

[@adamweb]

That's a sweet flock of Yeti!

[@natehills9388]

Gaggle.

[@yakbiker75]

Awesome scenery and the Yeti tribe getting together! 👌

[@hawaiiank4]

Sick vid and awesome trail! Dude is an animal, those switchbacks look killer, I literally screamed “oh sh!t” @4:23 and woke my family up. Thx for sharing the content. Stay safe out there!

[@natehills9388]

Haha, keeping you on your toes!

[@joshdoesjoshstuff660]

Dang dude, that was so rad. The scenery was insane. Looked unreal.

[@natehills9388]

Thanks for watching!

[@mauriciomejia3877]

Great ride welcome to 4 palos and you should ride in la Gotera Canyon very very fun I love this trail

[@natehills9388]

The Drip! Stay tuned amigo.

[@jetter820]

Dude! Your homie is a ripper!!

[@natehills9388]

Gifted.

[@osirus272]

Holy crap!!! Sick trials & skillz!! 🤘

[@ronanderson5736]

Damn that place was sick! You guys ripped it up! Excellent job guys! Enjoy that Modelo and a few shots! Haha

[@natehills9388]

Modelo is for hydration and Mezcal is for sipping. Dialed program.

[@ronanderson5736]

@@natehills9388 hahaha! Yes indeed

[@SHuls44]

What a manual master! Holy shit.

[@natehills9388]

Nobody does it better.

[@joeschmoe303]

wow, 4:24 serious pucker moment... Not sure how much of the scenery you were able to catch while screaming down a 6k descent of shale with super high exposure, but it looks spectacular. Do you ever find yourself losing track of the trail when you are behind someone watching them ride, especially with all the dust at speed?

[@natehills9388]

If I had a dollar for every close call i've had due to the dust, I would die a rich man.

[@mrkaufmanMTB]

look at shawn riding like he built the damn thing and knows it by heart oh my lord

[@natehills9388]

Putting on a clinic, first run.

[@john2975]

Trails might not be perfect but holy shit look at that view. The clouds climbing up the mountains, giant peaks in the background, drop off cliffs. Makes me wanna leave chicago lol

[@natehills9388]

Trust me when I tell you that this trail was perfect.

[@patriciozorrilla8332]

Great ride

[@natehills9388]

It was a pleasure to ride with you. We need to do it again!

[@vincedavis5326]

Wow!

[@DailyNeighborhoodRide]

Damn! 🗻🚵‍♂️

[@yuyo7906]

It was great riding with you, what an experience, so much fun….👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 for you and Shawn

[@natehills9388]

Pleasure riding with you and all of our new fiends. An experience to remember for a lifetime. Salud!

[@eugenespreutels8305]

That was absolute insanity! I was scared shitless watching that dude flirting with death on that cliff wall. Some crazy business, makes me feel like a total loser, lol. What a riot!

[@natehills9388]

Shawn makes everyone feel bad about their riding, haha. Myself included!

[@jjsells21]

More Neer footage 👌🏻

[@natehills9388]

Stay tuned.

[@LagBomer]

Nate, no doubt you are The Godfather of POV 🎥 . However we'd like to watch how you ride your bike. I am sure it'd be much fun, and we could learn a lot from it. Maybe and alternative channel? You are no chopped liver. Give it s chance.

[@hiyeet5135]

Awesome ride! Shawn gets wild! Was he on the new 140 as well?

[@natehills9388]

Shawn is one of the most naturally gifted cyclists in the world. He was riding his new 140 as well. Seems to work, haha.

[@dank3823]

Great to see some foreign soil in those treads again.

[@natehills9388]

I'll say. I have truly missed international travel. This trip rekindled the spark.

[@pahadiridermj1056]

Super ❤😍🤘🤘🤘👌👌👌👌🐯🐯🐯🐯

[@Proviction]

shawn was making my palms sweat LOL

[@natehills9388]

Moms spaghetti.

[@fdesilva]

Hi Nate, this must be in the Sierra Gorda mountains, right? Queretaro is insane on so many levels, I hope you got to enjoy the local cuisine and brew scene, downtown Queretaro is very beautiful.

[@natehills9388]

Yup, we did get some city time as well. Enjoyed all of it!

[@herbertg.3051]

💪👍

[@50mtb44]

Hardscrabble Heaven.

[@8664antonio]

❤🧨🧨🧨💯

[@chaseadventure]

Holy hell that was epic to watch! Good golly miss moly can Shawn ride a F*cking bike!!! 😲

[@natehills9388]

Skills to pay the bills.

[@tahoeebikes]

Shawns rear tire gota be bald by the bottom of this one. Master drifter.

[@natehills9388]

Shawn was hookin.

[@erikk.2435]

I got arm pump just thinking about 6000’ of descent.

[@iamjmp]

Power moves and some very sketchy ones also🤘🏼

[@gusman4871]

I sharted myself just watching this. You guys are living on the edge. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@natehills9388]

Sounds messy ;)

[@Bonkdoon]

My ulcers! 4:10

[@8664antonio]

💯🧨

[@toneloke7489]

11:25 INSANITY !!!!!😱😱😱

[@natehills9388]

Legend!

[@pappisto]

where is this sendero extremo? can’t find 4 Palos on Trailforks....

[@natehills9388]

What's trailforks?

[@mithrandirtheistari]

That's mostly a hiking trail, perhaps that's why is not there...

[@JDavidDouglas]

Who was taking photos around 13:00 mark?

[@proProcrastinatooor]

So many dentists in one place)

[@zbedr]

densely strict, but great 👍

[@talesfromthetrailz]

Hey man, how come you ditched your GPS on your stem? Do you still use a computer?

[@natehills9388]

The Stages unit was crap. I stopped using gps.

[@talesfromthetrailz]

@@natehills9388 why's that? For not using gps

[@knordberg]

Dusty, loose and exposed! That did sound like broken dinner plates. LOL

[@natehills9388]

Bull in a china shop.

[@benemery9547]

If I tried to follow him he'd be Shawn Far!

[@natehills9388]

Well played, haha.

[@leonardoolivar]

I've rode 4palos two times and is a fuckin scary shit to do, just for skilled guys. Otherwise you are just waking your bike down most of the trail. Don't ask me why but locals get mad if you see trying to remove any rock from the trail...😅😅😅

[@natehills9388]

Never remove rocks from the trail!

[@AntonioAntonio-lv3qg]

Un error cuesta la vida en ese descenso, las barrancas no dan tregua!😅

[@davidvonslingshot]

how the hell can he ride like that with balls that big....

[@jeffrogers2180]

That one turn is going to kill somebody eventually... Unless they have a parachute in their Camelbak.

[@natehills9388]

Yeah, that would be a bad place to fall off the bench.

[@hi-light-afterdark]

もしコースを外れれば大惨事だ

[@stevemurray2737]

Yikes!

[@panchoyamut]

This Shawn guy does not know how to ride a bike..haha

[@panchoyamut]

@natehills9388 is this legit?

[@dpalper13]

Inaugural….first annual does not exist.

[@toneloke7489]

Soccer's not the beautiful game compared to this video that's some of the most epic and beautiful trail riding I've ever seen!!! 🤘🤘🤘
