[@YoYo-yb2pp]

[@nerdepreacher7787]

Stoke meter is maxed, turbo stoke is lagging but the boost stoke is catching up.

[@dylanholshouser9969]

Stoke bar is full

[@JaredRMorgan]

The man the myth the legend! I’ll be riding Kanuga soon…needless to say, mega stoked!!

[@yogendermohann]

Yeahhhh alex is back . Hope everythings fine now God bless you and your family ❤️

[@jesusencarnacion9799]

The man is back, happy to see it, hope you're good man.

[@boracay12]

the wind resistance from the carpet on your face is slowing you down

[@blueengel68]

I really enjoy the break-in commentary explaining what you were feeling / thinking. It adds a lot to the pov video. Glad to have your energy back, too!

[@75keg75]

Welcome back! Hope you’re doing okay!

[@The_Sampler]

🙌👊

[@emp6325]

Yeah hope you are doing Well, good to hear from you!

[@lisarettig2740]

You inspire me. I’m a 59 year old grandma who started binge watching your speed and courage. I now live in an ambulance and ride a Ghost. Thank you!

[@psyklops]

lol

[@justinmills556]

I was having a bit of a shit day today. But seeing a new vid from you has helped make it better. Good to see you back doing well. Can't wait to see the next video.

[@danowilli91]

So good riding with you bro! Your stoke definitely pushed my legs to do that climb more times than I thought I could!

[@t.o.f.t.s.]

Can hear rhe fun and stoke in your voice. 🤘. Wishing you much health & happiness.

[@matteng1448]

Glad to see your happy my friend. Happy that your still out there KILLING IT!

[@JimmyTheGringo]

Brother I'm so glad you are back out there making videos and living the van life!! Missed the videos. Glad you are back. Peace, Love, Gnar, and Prayers Brother keep up the amazing job!!!

[@JNOTECH]

It's always good to have a friend like that. As you ride with someone better, you generally also tend to ride better but you may not notice that you're getting better until you ride with someone in the other direction of skill/experience/confidence. Even among riders with a high level skill, something like how you use your brakes can spell the difference in what happens in the next few sections. You're a great rider Alex, I wish I could do all the things you can!

[@gregbeasley2657]

Love the big kid enthusiasm!

[@B1KER]

Looks like a good time. It’s always fun getting something that just lingers in your head. I know those features you are still scared of even though you’ve got them a few times.

[@cubillasfrancisco6766]

Awesome to see you back !!!!

[@shenobi007]

Great to have a new video! Feeling stoked and ready to ride!!

[@mtbandenath]

Super pumped to see you back! Your positivity is super contagious! Your videos always up my Stoke level and make me want to hit the trails! I use your rule of three on features and it works so good, thank you!

[@SteveJanney]

So glad to see another video from you, you have been missed.

[@jeffparker2679]

So good to see you back again. Missed your stoke!!!!

[@kittykat7618]

Nice video! Glad to see you back!

[@justinellis2936]

Absolutely love your videos. The world needs more of you

[@71hernandez]

Always good to see a video from the Sampler . The level of stoke and excitement you convey in your videos is great . Keep it up !

[@EricHollanderAcu]

Great to see you again. You're one of the originals, and one of the best at making watchable bike stoke!

[@brandihodges9548]

Good to see you back!! And we should never worry about if someone is faster or something than us.

[@Mtbdrumrunner]

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I appreciate your content, your vibe, your spirit, and your stoke. Your channel is a MAJOR reason I have been on the bike in the past 5 of the double my 20 years. Dwelling and Sope Creek got me. You ARE the man Alex!! You keep DREAMS alive for people, and make them a reality, I thank YOU!!

[@Donik0420]

Super stoked for some new videos, just riding trails. Glad you're back!

[@GelMibson-u2y]

The commentary between the gopro footage is key. I wish more mtb youtubers did this. Probably a bit of extra work, but I think you have some of the best edited videos in the mtb youtube community

[@RevLovesSnakes]

There he is! I love the way you shared the story of this ride. Each trail was its own story and each story led to the climax of nailing that step-down. Welcome back friend, thanks for taking us with you on that ride!

[@alexanderives7176]

No one can get me quite at excited about mountain biking as you! Really cool stuff man! Glad to see you back 😁

[@aa1lev]

Good to see you back. Respect from the UK 👍

[@prajwalpingali]

Am I the only one who gets shivers when he says LFRHGS! I LOVE IT! It's such a satisfying and happy thing to hear

[@Logan-is7bh]

The SAMPLER is BACK BABY!! big STOKE!

[@Justinwallace33]

I’m pumped you posted!! I have been watching your old videos so I can enjoy your stoke and positive vibes!! Hope you keep them coming

[@natesoutdooradventures8075]

0:52 This shows that even the hardest trails can become your favorite with practice!

[@toddouellette482]

Delano! Nice dude! Love to hear your thoughts on this quiver killer bike👍🏼

[@stylomtb2948]

Welcome back Alex. As always, you're very gracious and encouraging to the friends you ride with. Enjoyed your video and looking forward to hearing what you've been up to. 👍

[@bikeninja956]

super entertaining share! love this vlog style vs. just hammering down a run with no explanation. This takes on a the adventure with you...

[@LamSanga]

It is good to see you back in full force! Totally understand what you've been through and I will always support you!

[@michaelroy5989]

HO YEAH!!! You back!! 🤘 I was hoping you were okay. It's been a while since you last made a video. I see you have a new bike. Fezzari? Personal purchase, new sponsor? I wish you a great summer. And can't wait to watch more of your videos

ALEX!!!!!!! Your back baby!!!!!! So glad to see you back with your vids!!!!! I was told you had a passing in your life (without going into it) and I am soooooo sorry Alex. I think we all can relate the hurt and pain one goes through in moments like this, and how it takes time. Your community is here for you man. As always, great vid, great energy and great riding. Looking forward to seeing some more!!!!!

[@snat6299]

So great love Kanuga, awesome video dude glad your back! Get stoked

[@peterspyer1124]

Man I always love it when a single track sampler vid comes up Dude fantastic video as always. Please just post more. We don't need perfect vids, you've got it so every vid you make is great fun

[@GaryDonosti]

Awesome to have you back bud! Loved the video, more plz!

[@jeffjacksonmtb]

Lookin' good on that Delano! Nice work getting that step down!

[@RndmAnvgr777]

Living in a self built van with my girlfriend and have been hitting trails along the way. We love to find some Vanlife meetups since (hopefully) we're at the tailend of this pandemic. Definitely going to check out that park when we get back to North Carolina.

[@cheefbaconator6078]

My dude, I think you got your commentary style dialed in. You were always my favorite channel because the videos were simply laid back clips of a dude stoked to ride his bike, and when you first started doing commentary I felt like that was getting taken away from. But I feel like this style put the vibe back and gave us that sweet POV footage while still letting you tell the story you want Cheers man, live free ride hard and get stoked

[@Chris_Smith_NC]

I was just looking looking back through your old videos yesterday to see where u have been...glad to see you are back! 👊

[@89yjrj]

Great video and welcome back! I hope this is a sign of things to come.

[@BlacqueJacqueShellacque_]

I'm glad you're still making videos. The production (and the riding) is so good. The infrequency makes a new one more special.

[@MillsyDescentsMTB]

Missed your videos mate! Glad to see a new one

[@ManuelRodriguez001]

welcome back! that was an instant classic, great video my friend!

[@benhaymond3391]

Alex, shredding the fezzari! Welcome to the club!

Hell yeah, love my fezzari

[@jeffjacksonmtb]

Glad to see you back Alex. Hope you have had some great rides over the last 5 months.

[@KestrelYI]

Glad to see you doing well and making it through some tough times. Be well, dude! Thanks for sharing a little more of your story with us.

[@richardp6461]

So good to see you back Alex. I feel the stoke.

[@DirtCityMTB]

This seemed more like your old content, but presented in a fresh new way. Loved it!

[@patrickholmes001]

Glad you're back at it, and even happier that you're still bringing us along!

[@mistatopo8337]

Love having you back! Your spirit is contagious!

[@nicholasvandyke4230]

The sampler is back!! Wooohooooo! Good to see your video man I hope all is well! Thanks for the inspiration and entertainment!

[@WilliamAlomar]

ALEX!!!!! Good to have you back brochacho. We missed you hommie.

[@GoFastDontCrash]

Hell yeah! Those trails look so fun!! A little different than my local Prescott and Sedona, AZ riding! I love hearing the excitement in your riding. Great video!

[@davidwhite9817]

Great to hear your STOKE on the trails again Man!

[@OneDeltaMike]

Perfect timing! I went to Kanuga a few weeks ago with a riding buddy/mentor after watching your last vid a bunch of times. I’m nowhere near your level but we did Rhodo and Tortuga a bunch and Hemloch once. We’re headed back tomorrow and I hope to progress on Hemloch. You nailed it about getting faster/better by riding with someone faster than you. I can’t wait for tomorrow The stoke is REAL !

[@kevinpeters8372]

Definitely missed these videos. Welcome back man🤘🏻

[@moif]

Happy to see you stoked, amigo. I'm not planning on going mountain biking today, but I'm gonna be stoked now whatever I do. Thanks to you.

[@JTizz0]

Yessssss Alex is back!!!!!! I was checking for a vid from you this morning!! Hope all is well bro! Much love from north of the boarder brother

[@dgassert]

I'm glad to see you are well. Enjoyed the video and can't wait to hear what is next.

[@booncha1971]

[@andrewcrockford6151]

[@notfastenough]

We needed this! LFRHGS! Keep em coming Alex, the KZbins misses you. Love to see you riding Kanuga, too.

Long time no se! Glad you didn't disapear from youtube. You are one of the channels that got me back into mountainbiking after nearly 2 decades when I started again last year. To Bad the weather here in switzerland is really bad at the moment and I would likely need a boat instead of a bike :D

[@bonham4994sts9]

It felt so good to hear your tag line again! 🤘 LFRHGS!

[@landoctor94]

Best MTB videos on KZbin. Thanks for the upload.

[@Simon-gk9ug]

Great to see you back and have that famed energy coming out of the speakers 🤟.

[@mountainsnmoore256]

Man, am I glad to be seeing some new stuff rom you!?! Even though I am past the age of wanting to ride this crazy shi---tuff (ER trips get harder to recover from as we age, and I have had a few too many over the years! LOL!), I love to watch your contagious enthusiasm for these gnarly trails! Glad to see you getting back at it! I have taken the better part of a year off, as well, so I feel ya. But people miss your stuff, I know that I have!

[@johnbrinsmead3316]

Good to see you back. Hope things are on the up.

[@caspzz6215]

Yes a new video! I send much for love you and condolences for your dad

[@barkingmadman1169]

Glad you're almost ready to come back! Take your time, and work through everything you need to at your pace.

[@saschaheemann727]

you are the human equivalent to a golden retriever. I love it! Thanks for your videos.

[@pan0rama546]

Stoke level is now several notches higher after watching your vid Alex 🤘 Vibe you bring can not be duplicated. Do your thing and drop a vid every now...that is all we can ask you to do.

[@BbopNRockStdy]

Smashing that thumbs up blindly because I'm just happy you're back!

[@kcpth]

Alex, your awesome the way you are. As long as you get better and you know it... thats all that matter. Be safe

[@kennymorris6329]

YES!!! Like X-Mas in July! I want to unwrap this present slowly but I just cant!!!

[@OutdoorGold]

Good to see you back on the bike, the web, and the stoke! Hope you are doing well Alex.

[@justing888]

So glad you're riding a Fezzari. Their bikes deserve more notice! I loved my trip to Kanuga rad park!!

[@sgtmango333]

Absolutely awesome to see you ride again! Woo! 🤘

[@aloehart3374]

Yes I get in early on a new video. Just want to tell you thanks for your videos. I'm down 30lb and going (from 350) because you and seth inspired me to take up biking. Your very personal approach to the videos makes them endearing and pleasant.

[@xav_1029]

Stoke levels at 110! Me and my family are on a cross country RV tour motivated by you van lifers. Started in Florida and currently in Hood River and to be honest, the riding here is amazing.

[@jimothyMTB]

So good to see a video from you again! Been following for a very long time, so happy to hear your whoops again on the trail.

[@davekuss]

Don't stress about the update video man! You do you, and we'll keep watching your videos, we love the level of stoke

[@gretchennevens349]

GREAT VID!!! Keep it up😎🤙🏻

[@davehall3650]

Glad to see you back making videos! Hope you found your zen on the time off ! Be safe and excited for future videos
