Riding Flying Monkey and Another Virgin Classic

[@topspot4834]

You know it's jank when the bars are moving side to side and not just up and down. Amazing video as usual 👌🔥

[@natehills9388]

Jank city.

[@MountainBikingTrips]

Perfect start to NEW YEAR with FREERIDAY :)

[@mtb_carolina]

Best Mountain Bike videos on KZbin! Awesome work, Nate. Keep up the gnarliness 🤙

[@natehills9388]

Thanks! Will do!

[@Montblanc1986]

Friday already!? I'm still stoked from the two videos last week

[@natehills9388]

So many Fridays.... ha

[@johnmurphy4989]

Love the drone footage, I'm sure it's more work but it makes you posts much more watchable. Great job, living the dream!

[@suzuka1307r]

wow this was an amazing video

[@Mark__kraM]

from Italy, a dream that I have to realize shooting in those places....🤟🤟🤟

[@kwspreu]

Good Golly Man!!! Death waiting on every inch of that trail. Sickness!!!

[@natehills9388]

As it should be ;)

[@jasonerskine8316]

Love Flying Monkey. Need to do it. Stayed away from Kong this time. Would have loved to see another lap on that one. Great work. Stay safe.

[@stumpy25lbs]

Holy cow - jank supreme! 😱 That camera certainly smooths things out though.. 👌🏼 Great vid as always Nate 🙏🏼

[@addisontrue8769]

I love james just rocking the trail bike through the nar

[@natehills9388]

Doesn't seem to be holding him back much, haha

[@akatz13]

for real. that SC HT something special apparently

[@petedog9581]

That off-camber 2-3" drop with mega exposure at 3:40 is scary when watching. When riding, it isn't even part of the thought process. The mind/body are focused on execution.

[@natehills9388]

Sometimes I scare myself making the edit.

[@barbbrazes869]

Awesome! Fun ride!

[@scottfast03]

So good. Man that looks nucking futty. Great vid. Drone shots always lit. It’s that thuggish ruggish bone…(queue Bone Thugs N Harmony)

[@natehills9388]

Cheers Scott.

[@jdwells7233]

Hammerheads...! Rock On.....✌🏻

[@eugenespreutels8305]

That's good stuff boys! The monkey trail looks like just a technical dream, so fun. I bet James was in heaven, lol.

[@natehills9388]

James' happy place.

[@nickcormode]

mad respect to the guy with an enduro bike

[@natehills9388]

James was crushing it.

[@thim8009]

Little above my paygrade, but pretty dang sweet spot and riding.

[@adamweb]

I'm over here peeing my pants just watching the video meanwhile dude is casually doing endos down the rampage trail lmao

[@natehills9388]

JRA ;)

[@BikeLifewithRob]

Drone helps to show how knarly that was!!! Nice

[@seany2345]

I saw you DOn't recommend King Kong to viewers (not that I'd be trying it anytime soon) but do you recommend flying monkey and other stuff for us mere mortals?? Cheers Nate, thanks for another stunning vid!

[@doooderino]

Monkey is just a Black. Add in a LOT of exposure it turns into a double black. There are no mandatory drops/gaps/jumps. Everything at the end is optional.

[@natehills9388]

Justin speaks the truth, Monkey is a double black on navigation apps. Kong has mandatory 10ft drops.

[@toneloke7489]

Dude I went otb just watching it🤮🤕!

[@joeschmoe303]

be honest, you get a little pucker going on from those spines and gap jumps on the rampage stuff? Great vid per usual.

[@natehills9388]

You would be foolish if you didn't get some butterflies and treat this stuff with respect. These lines are alway humbling. Good times!

[@MTBajlounoffroad]

♥️♥️♥️

[@balazsgalambos4458]

Epic

[@toneloke7489]

James with the single crown, he's the manly man 👍🤘🤯

[@herbertg.3051]

💪👍

[@JeanLaboux]

[@biketothetop]

Ironically it should be named, Chunky Monkey and the Rampage run should be called Flying Monkey. ...interesting if you could get pegs and ditch the pedals🤔 Great scenery and clarity. HNY

[@natehills9388]

Definitely don't need a drivetrain here, haha.

[@biketothetop]

@@natehills9388 the thought of just pegs came to me when I read your comment in the description about not peddling for 2 weeks in Virgin. Clearly if you don't need to Pedal at all for some runs, it seems symmetrical loading would be a benefit for bike control and safety(no pedal mgmt against strikes). It looks like an opportunity for a product if in fact it would be beneficial. What do you think? Would you feel comfortable on pegs only? You do a lot of dropping steep stuff. Do you think it would be safer and give more control? It would be easy to design a swap out system.

[@simonpinto3712]

When I grow up, I want to ride like James... crap I'm 50 this year... ok next life for sure then...

[@natehills9388]

Age is but a number friend. ha

[@LagBomer]

This is a John Wayne. Not even Clint Eastwood. This is a real John Wayne's.

[@steviedingledangle7982]

James smashing on his baby Hightower

[@calebjohnson7264]

basically a flow trail

[@natehills9388]

Totally.

[@toneloke7489]

🤣

[@christopher.j.m]

isn't "later that day" King Kong?

[@joey.vizualz]

Things I want to say, "James is bad at one thing, braking" (cuz he's fast AF) AND THEN HE DOES THE NOSEY ANS MY JOKE IS RUINED

[@natehills9388]

Legend, that James.

[@FreshToTheExtreme]

One hard nick of the pedal... you goin over ....

[@andreasmamasis8987]

Anybody else mumbled 'Just roll it' ?
