Riding Apex | Denver's Alternating Day MTB Experience

[@natehills9388]

Favorite trail on the Front Range?

[@taentrem]

Halllllll Ranch

[@BlacqueJacqueShellacque_]

Apex, especially since you don't have to look out for those pesky hikers anymore. :D

[@davisbenson664]

Still partial to Cub Creek.

[@skittlywinksbattman]

Probably Longhorn at White Ranch! It's one spicy boi

[@therustlerman]

Elk Park in Teller County

[@bradgandolfo6774]

James is such an insanely skilled rider. It's a beauty to watch him ride. Great work Nate!

[@natehills9388]

Poetry in motion. That James Weingarten.

[@ridesingletrack]

That was my home trail when I started riding. Haven't been there in years though. Cool to see it on the channel. Thanks for the memories, man!

[@chrissmith4713]

I got to run those trails about 8 years ago and lost all the pics I took when my phone got fried... thanks for bringing back the memories for me. Those trails and the view is straight up money at sunrise!

[@skittlywinksbattman]

You boys seem to be hitting these Front Range trails at the right times. I don't know if I have ever seen Apex that empty!

[@natehills9388]

Timing is everything!

[@SamClarkschannel]

they use to be...

[@huntstyle]

I haven't ridden there, but I've noticed in many other places, evenings are always less crowded. Seems everyone goes to ride in the morning/early afternoon.

[@colinhart4598]

Week days after 6:30 pm

[@bderris]

I hit the front range trails before 630am as much as possible. Have the place to myself usually

[@ronanderson9960]

Damn ! You guys are really knocking out the videos! Awesome! That front wheel wheelie up to that gate was slick as snot! Colorado such an amazing place!

[@bradmurphy8416]

Dude, Jankfest is alive and well, this just keeps getting better and better...best real MTB edits in the game. Awesome dirt, exceptional lines and faaaaasssst. Cheers Baller, need more Pete!!!

[@davisbenson664]

So fun watching you guys turn all the local trails into trampoline playgrounds for James. Awesome riding!

[@natehills9388]

Bouncing is the path of least resistance.

[@scottnormand5858]

James is riding so well and for you to follow him at those speeds not seeing what's ahead is sick Nate🤘

[@natehills9388]

Such a pleasure to watch before my very eyes.

[@joeschmoe303]

dude, 4:15 you guys are bookin'. The line choice from enchanted forrest down to pick n sledge was so fun to watch, many of those I would never have considered before (probably still won't cause you guys are going waaayyy faster). BTW still waiting for the full enchanted forrest video... (with strava times...?) PS.. well said on the Jefco support for the Mtb community.

[@natehills9388]

This is a huge step in the right direction for the MTB community!

[@silver01stang]

Some parts of that trail look brutal and beautiful at the same time. You all do some awesome riding. Thanks for the video. I'll have to try that trail sometime this summer.

[@knordberg]

I actually made a video of this 14 years ago. We filmed with a video camera with a remote lens and all sorts of cables leading back to the backpack. No GoPros at that time. Had a wonderful 480p video quality, which at the time was high tech. lol What amazes me going back and watching this is how much smoother the trail was back then. Still had technical but you couldn't hear anyone grunting because of the crazy jank. You guys flew down it. Good times.

[@natehills9388]

Cool to watch Apex go through it phases of smoothing out and then getting rough again. Every time I go there things are very different. Keeps things fresh!

[@garydecker3281]

James made all that rock look like a flow trail! So smooooth!!!

[@johnglynn7795]

Nate, Never miss one of your weekly videos! Always enjoyable not to mention still snow in CO! Ironically, laying over in Dubai and unfortunately no MTB's; however great "Sand Dunning" and Sky Diving! Blue skies brother, Jg

[@eugenespreutels8305]

Amazing stuff boys! I'm just blown away watching James cleaning difficult sections, hopping over stuff, wheeling everything! All while hauling ass, very impressive. He is just getting better with age! Wish I was, lol!

[@natehills9388]

Just like fine wine. Or maybe, old cheese. Yum.

[@guggino88]

Favorite trail in the front range. You guys took some lines that made me 🤔🤯. 6:35 going high left over that ankle smasher was great. Will have fun hurting myself trying that 🙂

[@mwk0914]

Another favorite Front Range trail that I miss riding! Your making me want to drive over to Denver right now!

[@natehills9388]

Get some.

[@GossieMTB]

James tire combo. Rekon front to save weight. Assegai rear for traction in the manuals 😂

[@JamesRobertMTB]

Damn these trails look epic!!! Every trail just seems to go on and on😍

[@NH-il6uc]

James probably rarely needs to replace the front tire. He’s never freaking on it!

[@natehills9388]

He has been running the same one for 10 years ;)

[@NH-il6uc]

@@natehills9388 I believe it!!

[@markusaguilar437]

james is on another level 🔥 🙌

[@natehills9388]

Legend of sport.

[@PatricioEscobarDH]

Hey Nate, you should come to Colombia, check out the epic amazing trails we have on my channel!

[@jasonerskine8316]

If James could defy gravity and figure out how to ride with both wheels off the ground constantly he would. He pretty much rides with one wheel off the ground at all times. Great ride from both of you.

[@SkooledINC]

The speed with which you hit that gnarly section after the jump 😳 earlier in the season there was some ice on the bottom that made for a fun run out lol

[@natehills9388]

Never a dull moment in that section, haha

[@ronanderson5736]

Both of you guys kick ass!

[@floridianfish13]

Centennial Cone also alternates for trail users.

[@natehills9388]

Interesting. Haven't ridden there in a bit.

[@liamtaylor9806]

Just on weekends though

[@lifebehindbarsonemansstory2189]

So sick was just in Denver for two weeks man hit all the epic shit Floyd left hand hall ranch so dope bro

[@vmxd]

I see Nate, James, Apex ----> automatic like !

[@paulbush724]

I rode that trail rigid ,very smooth ride

[@BikeLifewithRob]

Amazing views, great riding!

[@n8glore681]

Thought I saw you guys in the parking lot on Tuesday. I feel like my ride had a lot more slush and mud in it...

[@natehills9388]

We didn't ride the top of Enchanted.

[@Chriz301]

James is back!

[@natehills9388]

Have you missed him as much as I have?

[@stumpy25lbs]

Great vid yet again Nate - awesome trail - but are you speeding it up just a tiny little bit...?! 😁

[@natehills9388]

Is that a serious question?

[@Raindrops4891]

got me super stoked to go ride tomorrow dude. ive never hit apex but i want to this summer. also that dude is riding wheelies probably faster than my max speed lmao

[@natehills9388]

James is faster on one wheel!

[@MTBradley]

That's a great trail. How about that climb up from Golden!

[@is-vj5jr]

That is really cool👍🏻

[@vttplaisir]

Super vidéo! Ça roule propre, j'suis fan! 👍👍👍

[@landonparson7200]

I miss riding apex. Moved to G junk though so I can't complain. I like not having to leave my house at 5:00am to beat the crowds.

[@natehills9388]

You just have to ride at 5am to beat the heat, hahaha

[@landonparson7200]

@@natehills9388 Hahaha, true.

[@Chops00]

This is one of my favorites, but I break something on my bike almost every time I ride it

[@natehills9388]

And that is precisely why it is so good! Much love for the smash.

[@danielsummers8410]

show more content from the trail head? Good stuff man

[@nickrowell2651]

Dude I knew that was you passing me on my way up!!!! I almost asked but chickened out

[@TheJeffro520]

The dirt looks all time mate

[@natehills9388]

Best dirt ever!

[@uttamx2016]

How long bike will last if we ride in this tracks

[@50mtb44]

Nate and James Ride Again!

[@scottfast03]

Legendary.

[@magnumpi73]

Nate, what is your favorite place to ride in July?

[@natehills9388]

Whistler.

[@REXTERRA33]

What tire pressure/setup you running to smash like that with no flats?

[@Record4u]

The video is great. The MTB skill is great. Watch the video well. Thanks you.

[@alecchrz]

about to head down there now should be rad

[@natehills9388]

Enjoy!

[@scottcolorado2090]

Serious question. Do you preview the course a few times first, then turn on the cameras, or do you just show up and go balls out sight unseen?

[@natehills9388]

I rode this one a couple of years ago. We just ride in all of my videos and rarely stop to look at things. It's more real that way.

[@NoProDad]

pretty sick 🤙👍

[@mrvwbug4423]

The camera doesn't convey just how steep the gut actually is

[@joeschmoe303]

nor the chunky-ness

[@8664antonio]

[@Sr.capivara777]

Watch this video listening F Zero X 64 soundtrack... Is so AMAZING

[@DnBQemist]

I let out the same moans and groans in the same jank spots every time 😂

[@natehills9388]

I feel the pain of my poor bike, haha.

[@joey.vizualz]

If you're not denting your AL wheels you're doing it wrong

Patiently waiting for the lefthand canyon vlog ....

[@keanchoeun4547]

It very nice I want to have too.But I'm nothing

[@ClearCreekWoodDesigns]

Golden's Trail. Don't give Denver credit for our awesomeness. 🤪

[@natehills9388]

It's all Denver to me brother.

[@ClearCreekWoodDesigns]

@@natehills9388 haha. Denver is Kansas. no mountain biking in Denver. :D

[@ClearCreekWoodDesigns]

you guys ripped that trail though.

[@craigzorman5785]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the guy in front likes to wheelie.

[@natehills9388]

You are quick.

Nobody rides Apex anymore. It's too crowded.

[@natehills9388]

Perfect.

[@L4J20]

James is a 🐰

[@АлександрРадицкий]

Круто!

[@nichogold4434]

There are two sections I can never seem to get right. Then I see this video and get stoked. Then you cut the shot at exactly both of those places! Come on bud its okay to show the whole thing lol
