[@colelarsen8195]

I always long for an e-bike on the stairway climb lol. Appreciate the 505 love, great riding!

[@natehills9388]

Probably easier on a MTB if you ask me. Uphill jank FTW! lol

[@gnarlee4250]

I love ABQ. That trail brings back some good memories. Chunk after chunk! Fingers crossed 🤞 that next week's video is White Mesa...

[@nmnate]

Yeah that'd be an awesome follow up. 👍

[@natehills9388]

Need to check out White Mesa for sure.

[@2Philthy]

Debating hitting White Ridge tomorrow, but this makes me wana check this place out. White Ridge is an awesome, must ride at least once, I think I hit it 8 times last year.

[@hawkbulletproof7635]

​​​@@natehills9388 Amazing place to ride especially if you built and hit your own off trail features, which would be crazy, but I am unsure if it's allowed... Since you like giving New Mexico love I was wondering if you have ridden the downhill jump trail at Cedar Creek in Ruidoso, NM or the Ski Apache downhill trail, also in Ruidoso? The trail at Cedar Creek is so sick and could use a rider of your skill level to do it justice on video. Thanks for the edits, always enjoy them!

[@themtchannel2110]

Great to see vid passing thru Albuquerque - hope there's more!

[@natehills9388]

I am due for another visit.

[@davisbenson664]

Kinda trail where you gotta tighten all your bolts afterwards. Awesome jank, stellar riding as always. Can't wait to get down there and experience it first hand!

[@natehills9388]

Go get it!

[@greenmindmtb7653]

The trail, riding and vans are world class🤘🍻

[@abstraddic0442]

There's nothing like a Friday morning shred to get the day started ! Thank you guys !!! 👍

[@natehills9388]

Enjoy the weekend!

[@2Philthy]

Finally made it out here yesterday. Place is NO JOKE. Lol. Was by myself, intention was to do Stairway climb and same descent. Got a gash in my tire not even 15 minutes in from a rock. Repaired it with the help of another rider, then fell on couple uphill steep parts. Figured with that luck I should just do the other easier Red Classic Loop which is more XC and picking rock slab lines with some downhill. Still a ton of fun wish it was marked better. Gona go back and do this ride in another week or two with friends instead of going solo. Cheers again Nate, love your channel.

[@natehills9388]

Redemption will taste sweet.

[@2Philthy]

Went back today and gotRdone. That Stairway climb is right up my alley. Most challenging climb I've done, yet the most fun I've had while suffering at the same time. Got up 90% of the features. Lol. The descent was a blast, some of it was a bit too steep for but 85% of it was doable for me. Prolly wouldn't have done this trail if you didn't come here Nate, thanks again it's now one of my favorite trails and I'm trying to see if I can get something done about marking some of it better.

[@natehills9388]

Just a bit of tasteful marking will make that section ride so much better! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@DuskPatrol]

Classic New Mexico mega-jank. Nice rippin'.

[@birdsandtrees]

I was honestly hoping for more footage of the climb haha but wow you rode this place as smooth as can be.

[@natehills9388]

Nobody wants to watch us climb, haha.

[@2Philthy]

This is awesome to see. I've been debating checking this place out. I've ridden across the road at White Ridge trail system a ton of times but haven't been here. Heard the only tricky part is trying to figure out where the trail is in certain areas. . . Def gona check it out now I love some chunk.

[@2Philthy]

@Nicegram-Me-Official-Nate-Hills well, I drove out there today and it was snowed and mudded out. Just like the other 3 trails I tried. Depressing time of year. That's crazy for Albuquerque area usually foothills and that area are good to go. 🥺

[@natehills9388]

Yeah, we filmed this a couple of weeks ago.

[@garyharmon5386]

Awesome riding as always. Pedal safe

[@enchiladasmith014]

As always, another shredding video. Thanks for the effort put into it all. We really appreciate it. Keep on ripping!

[@natehills9388]

Thanks for the kind words Enchilada.

[@nmnate]

Red mesa? Gonna be a good one 🤘😁🤘

[@eugenespreutels8305]

Ooohh, janky! We rode down in Albuquerque a long time ago, don't recall anything like that. We hiked the La Luz trail up to the Sandia peak in the snow, good times. Rode some lower elevation trails also that were fast and smooth. Finally got some decent weather here last week and had a chance to try out the ergon saddle, pretty nice 👍

[@natehills9388]

Definitely check this out if you are in the area.

[@bradnyenhuis3896]

It's actually northwest of Rio Rancho/Bernalillo just outside of San Ysidro. Where 4 meets 550.

[@ronsanderson99]

Wow, that was barely a trail! Super Jank!

[@natehills9388]

Rough as it gets!

[@canieto1]

Excited to see you take the ebike out! Those 160E's are so dope!

[@natehills9388]

Much love for 160e. Reminds me of a DH bike from 2002.

[@TrackBR]

amazing view bro 🔥🔥

[@amitypets7806]

Great video! Thanks for making these and sharing. Do you run CC inserts? Just wondering.

[@natehills9388]

No inserts for this guy.

[@amitypets7806]

@@natehills9388 Interesting. What mode do you usually ride the eMTB in?

[@jeffsaraiva7099]

Did I see frozen water in those pot holes?? Nice ride!!!

[@natehills9388]

Indeed.

[@MrXZiLE]

nice place!do you still use gimbal on your cam?what cam do you use?

[@mc540flip]

I hope you guys went to Sadie’s afterwards for some proper NM eats. That was some good Rigid SS territory- so smooth! Chris found flow through that serious junk. Btw, were you hiking Broken Arrow last weekend Nate?

[@SocratesTaVivo]

Albuquerque?? Nate, we need to cook

[@MountainBikingTrips]

Oh YEAH FreeRIDAY

[@jonathanjones8895]

Boomer Scooter 4 Life 🤘

[@natehills9388]

New favorite term, lol

[@petedog9581]

Where is the trail? Looks like you guys are just finding jank lines in open desert. Lol. I would end up in Mexico and not even know it.

[@natehills9388]

Reasonably hard to follow as it doesn't get much traffic.

[@stevenwilson920]

One of those trails built by somebody that sells bike parts😂, great riding as usual!!

[@natehills9388]

You should open a parts stand at the bottom of that descent, haha.

[@spectac1983]

How did you have energy for that after stairway to hell!

[@natehills9388]

I would say the boomer scooter helped but I am not actually sure it is any easier manhandling the stairway on a 53 lb bike, haha, Could be more work.

[@braxtona.4575]

BAAM

[@jasonerskine8316]

Teeth rattling chatter. Might be new bike day after all that destruction 🤔

[@50mtb44]

Looks rugged and jarring.

[@natehills9388]

Exactly what I am looking for!

[@50mtb44]

@@natehills9388 You are tougher than me. : )

[@willienillie6337]

Doesn’t even look like a trail but I guess that’s why they call it MTB..

You lost me once I saw the ebike thingy

[@raphaelverges7872]

The video on this episode was not as good as always been.
