Great video!

[@bonlessbepis8277]

This is such a great video. Instead of just showing the footage of himself on a bike, this dude creates a gripping narrative out of his experiences in mountain biking, and how they have lead up to him sending this legendary trail. He turns himself and his friend into heroes with helmets, the protagonists of the epic saga wherein they must fight against giants, in the form of mounds of dirt. Watching them ride their trusty transporting companions is almost the same as watching a knight riding his beloved horse into battle. This is pretty much a modern day fairy tale. Incredible work.

I had a life goal of hitting every jump on A-Line. Did it just short of my 50th birthday. So excellent. (Started riding mountain bikes at about 42) The speed required was enough to send my eyeballs into blur but trust in the trailbuilders and faith in my abilities (and my sick V10) all came together in sublime eternal stoke.
