hahaha.. I love the commentary and those offs made me flinch. Especially her OTB... Did not see that coming at all. And it's awesome to see some 'pop' back in Alexanders riding. He's clearly stoking his mojo hard. The gimbals reaction to sweat was funny. Like it was drunk. 50 Shades of red-face - I can relate Knee to the Tree. I'm in no condition to go first. Bug in the mouth - Major relation to that one. I rode this when it was leafy. Crack in my frame and blown jockey wheel not slowing me down,,,, yet Getting the hot weather beat-down - I suspect the humidity did not help. Who needs that pedal. Super chunk. We run sideways seats.

This video makes me feel a lot better about my first trip to Raccoon Mountain. We did 12 miles at Five Points early in the morning, then ate lunch and went to Raccoon Mountain. I knew I was in trouble when the East Rim trail was making me tired. Then we got to Live Wire 1, which was awesome. By the time we got to Live Wire 2 I was completely exhausted. All of the chunk wore me down even more. I thought maybe I was just being a pansy but after seeing you guys struggle on Live Wire 2 I feel a bit better about myself. I've been loving Redemption 2017.

Enjoyed this video very much, having just ridden Raccoon Mountain the first time this past fall. I especially enjoyed seeing Alex miss that hairpin turn to the right, b/c I missed the same turn bombing down that trail and got a good ribbing from my riding buddies. IMO the hard right is really hard to see at speed from distance and should be better marked. Glad he was ok. Absolutely loving this series. I enjoy both of you guys and your vids.

Aww, man. Did I reach the end? I just found your channel and binged on this Redemption thing all weekend. As a budding cyclist, I've been studying up for my first big bike purchase for a few months now. I was finally set on a Diamondback Haanjo Exp Carbon, but then I happened upon your channel and that was a total paradigm shift for me. The MTB community seems so much more like "my people", and a little research on Singletracks shows enough trails in my area to keep me occupied for a while, so I think I'm gonna take the plunge on a FS bike instead!
