I like that you're not making a fuzz about not sending every feature and that you're leaving this in. The mental struggle with fear is a big part of mountainbiking for all of us. "There no shame in pushing your bike and living another day." as Brian (BKXC) would put it. ;)

[@BrianReynolds84]

Me: I don't know if my 160mm travel full suspension bike is enough.... Hardtail dude: Hold my beer...

[@noahlikesbikes1812]

That is me!!!! 2021 kono honzo😎 120mil trail hardtail though I live in NC but have taken it to kanuga, and wind rock bike parks. !!!!!!!!! So fun to keep it intresting on a short travel hardtail. Persinially I only think that big travel only boost confidence not skill level you can find videos of people doing crazy tech lines and dirt merchant. And other crazy trails on hardtail !

I am always suprised by how few followers you have compared to similar you tubers even though your videos are of the same quality or better of people of similar KZbin channels to yourself. Love the videos though always keeping me entertained while I am not riding myself. Spectacular job keep up the amazing work!!!!!!!!!

Wow, thank you!

Best part about youtube. You can watch legends like this guy make you feel like you are on the trail when you can't be

15:31 There should be a big red or yellow warning sign saying "Slow Down! Traffic Ahead!!".

[@eykonabike6196]

holy shit, most stuff on video be like, "I could ride that" when in reality I wouldn't dare, and this stuff just looks crazy!!

What hardtail was used?

[@tazzmenn]

At one point Nick your like what's this as you creep up to the lip. I was talking to you but its hard to hear me through the interweb. I told you its just a roll. That was for sure the most ridden trail this summer for me walked almost all of it the first time down.

Whats with the break sound, mine started doing the same thing

[@johnsantos3194]

Can someone tell the make and model of that awesome Hardtail? :)

[@thetrailnomad]

Man! Your trails are awesome. People keep telling me that I have superb trails around my area but seeing your videos, I fully disagree with them.

[@Denizz._]

What trail is this pls reply

[@50mtb44]

What bike is Cam riding (hardtail)?

[@nattytambam]

I wonder if somehow the rigidity of the hardtail adds confidence on jank that big? (I know that is counter-intuitive and he's insanely good regardless)

[@VanCan]

It does add some control, but cam is also an extremely good rider.

[@BCmtb]

That was an awesome video. So much gnarlier in person. What was the trail at 13:51 ?

[@dburns4156]

It's weird hearing the word "janky" used to refer to natural terrain. It's always meant things that are either poorly constructed, or man made things that are in a broken down state. I'm pretty sure it originated in Oakland/Bay Area from the same time and culture as the word "hella". There was no intention in the creation or existence of natural terrain, it isn't supposed to be smoother and therefore can not be janky.

[@VanCan]

I hear what you're saying, but everyone I know and everywhere I've seen, it's basically a synonym for awkward and hard to flow.

[@dburns4156]

@@VanCan Yea, I've heard it used that way in other Canadian(mostly) videos as well, it just never stood out as much as in this one because you said it so many times throughout the video, lol. The meaning must have evolved that direction in Canada/PNW. I remember first hearing it used to make fun of cars in the cruising/sideshow scene in Oakland in the late 80's/early 90's that were busted but the owners would try to make them look good by putting on neon stickers, spoilers, ground effects, and cutting the springs so they would scrape the ground.
