Occasionally a pro rider reminds me I’m not as fast as I think I am.Follow-cam with Spencer Rathkamp

[@Spencerrathkamp]

So glad we got out for this. I had a blast and from the looks of it so far, i think people can tell. Always appreciate you and let’s get more of these going as soon as my hand heals up ⬆️

[@ShreddingSpree]

For sure man. You got your three crashes out of the way so we’ll team up for another one soon.

Do you ride your stumpy evo or the enduro on the ews circuit?

[@Spencerrathkamp]

@@jymtb enduro strictly. For some tame-ish local races I’ll race the Evo

Awesome. I really enjoy both of your guys’ channels 🤙

[@ShreddingSpree]

Thank you!

[@wellscarter17]

Sick vid! Must’ve been a ton of work pulling audio from all the different cameras - sounded awesome the whole time and made it way more fun to watch being able to hear your banter. Felt like I learned a lot seeing Spencer’s line choices too. More vids like this!

[@ShreddingSpree]

Glad you liked it! All the audio cam from dedicated mics. It’s a little extra work to sync the audio with the video clips but not too bad because you end up mixing just two audio channels throughout the whole video (aside from music). And I agree, it makes the final product way better when the sound is clean

[@MTBMOR]

That looks like so much fun! Great job with the audio sync up. I play a bit with audio, but wow you did a great job!

[@JubeProductions]

This is a great video and you guys were killing it. I always love riding with people that are better than me, because it pushes my limits and makes me better. I also learn from watching how a better rider attacks a trail. I see new ways of riding, and lines i would never have thought of riding.

[@ShreddingSpree]

I have a 2020 Stumpjumper Comp Alloy, what advantage would the carbon version have over my alloy?

[@ShreddingSpree]

The carbon would save you a little bit of weight. Carbon usually has a stiffer ride feel. I believe the previous generation alloy frames didn’t have a swat box. (I could be wrong about that.) It’s also worth noting that the 2021 stumpy got a pretty significant redesign. I’m going off of memory here but I also think the new stumpy carbon frames (regular stumpy, not the evo) don’t have a Horst pivot in the rear triangle whereas the alloy does so I’m sure there’s a different ride quality there as well.

[@petedog9581]

This is how you become a pro level rider, you push the trail to its limits. You don't do that w/o riding the trail often and progressing and finding lines and transitions. Also, if you want to be a better rider, check your ego and ride with others who are better than you. It's easy to be a big fish in a small pond. Great content and riding. Gonna ride right now! Riding a "cream horse" sounds like a line line from a porn video. Is bike porn a fetish???

[@ShreddingSpree]

😂 I think it’s a well established fetish for sure

[@HowardJacobs-j8h]

Good points....the biggest advantage of riding with faster riders is following someone riding a section at a speed you'd never think you could do. Overcoming the fear of going past your comfort level is as important as developing the physical skills. If you want to soar with eagles, you can't flock with turkeys.

Love this video! I just hate the fact that people still hide/not share trail infos, it is for everyone to use, hence public land. Let other people enjoy new trails. ✌️

I really would like to see the difference on a trail that is actually not just a singletrail that is easily rideable with a xc-bike. Something where the skill is better shown. But I have to admit that the view is nice there

[@ShreddingSpree]

these trails aren’t rocky but they’re much steeper than they look on go pro. Sometimes surpassing 30-35mph. Would love to see someone keep up on an XC bike. I hear what you’re saying though, we’ll have to do it again on a trail that has more chunk.

[@kevinrastetter8561]

I haven’t meant that you could keep up with a xc-bike. I just meant that you could do that. The biggest differences between normal and fast riders to really fast riders is in the natural chunky technical stuff. This is the best terrain in my opinion for an enduro these days
