Chestnut Mountain has a BRAND NEW trail, and it's unlike anything else in the park...

[@martysoulard7349]

Hey brother. My wife and I watch for several reasons. We dig your choice of content, your character, and pure joy for riding. We like viewing your process for working up to a trail feature. Another thing that occurs to me is that your choice on when to talk and how much. I hope you continue to follow your gut and do what you need to in order to maintain the balance you need in your life. I think that contributes to having a good attitude which comes through in your videos. People are attracted to people who live in a joyous way. You do it how you need to and hopefully it works out how you want. Cheers mate.

[@The_Sampler]

Hey Marty, I very much appreciate that brother! I've been working so hard on that balance and think I just might be finally getting the hang of it, which is exciting for me as well because I too want to be able to keep doing this whole crazy thing! Thanks for the encouraging words 🤘

[@thedoubleyellow9066]

Love this so much! Meeting you that day was wonderful, and I’m so glad I got to tell you, in person, how happy your content makes me. Thank you for having me in your video! I hope you have the best freaking season, and I can’t wait to see you conquer that wooden feature on Clickbait 🤙🏼🤘🏼

[@freerangemtb]

I love when you randomly meet up with your fans!

[@The_Sampler]

absolutely makes my day

[@KevinTomayko]

5:19 that spiral tree trunk caught my eye. What a cool oddity out in the woods like that. I wonder if you even noticed it as you were flying down the trail. Glad to have you back!

[@rupedog]

Good spot 👀

[@The_Sampler]

I stopped last time i was there specifically to look at that vine!! you

[@warrenpeace7095]

Good trail builders feature stuff like that. 👍

[@RichR-x4v]

Welcome back Alex! It's good to see your enthusiasm for riding all those great trails! I'm planning a trip back east later this summer and Chestnut/ Berm Park will definitely be on my list! Thanks for the great video as usual. Have a good one!!

[@gusman4871]

Thanks!

[@The_Sampler]

Next beer is on you my guy! 🍻 Thank you!!

[@The_Sampler]

WAIT that's not 5.00.... that's FIFTY... dude! Don't even know what to say except LFRHGS and THANK YOU! 🤯

[@elevatedtraildesign1758]

Happy to see you having a blast at Chestnut Mountain! Thanks for making another rad video and I hope we get to rip some laps out there soon!

[@Todd-cf8nl]

Hour and a half away from the house, stopped by there yesterday. We’ve got friends/family that live 10 minutes away from that park so we will be hitting that spot multiple times this season.

[@surfjax23]

I’m in Charlotte but hit kanuga for the first time last weekend and plan to come here soon after seeing this video. Looks like a good variety of features and a lot of fun. See you on the trails 👍🏻

[@kenfoley509]

Looking forward to another great season! I wish you the best and hope you have a great season!

[@gfxman14]

your joy of riding is infectious, keep shredding and making entertaining content

[@themostlymikeshow]

Great to see you back Alex! Those are some sweet freakin' trails!

[@MicajahMcCurry]

Unions still my favorite. Rock drops, jumps, chunk. Good run

[@stevemendelson4711]

Always super Stoked !! Sick Video !

[@sasquatchmtb]

Get this man to 600k!! No one has more fun on the trail.

[@Kmortisk]

Would love to have trails like this nearby

[@ThisGuyRides]

I recently built up a V4 Bronson, same color as your friend's. Exactly matches the Harvest Gold appliances in my kitchen, and Dial soap.

[@johnneyabbott]

You’re so enthusiastic while riding. Wish everyone could be like that

[@Joseph_M_44]

You should go ride at Sun Peaks BC! One of my favourite places to go.

[@jaydieckhaus5970]

Another great video! Nice visiting with you for a few minutes at Berm Park.

[@mattnye1224]

I just got a Delano Peak. I have wanted one for two years. I am so excited to ride it this year.

[@vicwiseman6038]

Love this place and the tour!

[@aw71290]

I want to make it out to Chestnut Mountain so badly. Im gonna be staying in Marion for 5 days this summer, gonna try to hit Kitsuma! I live all the way out by Wilmington, we have some decent trail systems for a coastal area, but I crave an actual downhill.

[@bradyheath6828]

Watching ya'll ride Champion is always the best. 🤟🤟

[@MrTonka]

Looks like I need to get over there!

[@MichaelSchneiderTexas]

I came there last month from Texas to ride but all the trails were closed because of rain. 😄

[@ish474]

Man I'm getting close to moving down. It looks like I'm going to land in Arden and I can't wait to start riding Berm Park and Rock Creek

[@guttered03]

Great to see you back Alex always gota prioritise the important things, rest is often a forgotten thing in life, enjoy your riding dude, would be stoked for the riding season but I’ve just killed my three week old e-bike on a ride in Scotland 😢

[@The_Sampler]

doooood what a bummer 😭

[@joshphillips9033]

They are adding trails like crazy

[@kylehall9333]

Peru has definitely made you way more confident man! You crushed champion!

[@daledubose3032]

Sorry I called you Phil that day. I realized it after but didn't want to bother while you were filming. Cool to see you at work though. That's my son and I behind the post during the intro.

[@superairsoft100]

I went to try these trails out for the first time three weeks ago and they were closed. Spent two years wanting to go here and finally made it up, of course my luck was no good haha. Went to kanuga instead.

[@YoungBoom3r]

I'll be down in a week, stoked!

[@scottconley8001]

When you headed to Everstoke?

[@brettungvari]

18:36 someone help Andrew get his cable routing in check

[@live4uncbball]

What do you think of the fezzari rebranding? I started with a cascade peak and have been on a Delano peak the past couple years. There was a lot of commentary about how atrocious the name “Fezzari” was and it feels like they caved to the pressure. It honestly makes me less likely to keep repping them whenever I am due for a new bike. I always refer to my bikes as alloy fezz and carbon fezz. Oh and my princess bride shout out “fezzik are their rocks ahead?” is no longer applicable

[@markjones4896]

What happened to your new bike?

[@lforgotmyname]

Long time no see, Berm Park...

[@augustmousel]

Love your videos really hope you can clear clickbait soon!

[@kenanjones3481]

would love to see your climbing too, if filming it would be practical and not steal all the fun. recently started bouldering and it's my second favorite thing to do now, almost as much fun as mountain biking!

[@The_Sampler]

Noted! Not to mention great cross training for our arm pump!

[@SithLordBishop]

LFRHGS!

[@The_Sampler]

🫡🤘

[@joshuajackson740]

Love your videos dude. Where is your new bike? I see you’re back on your old one.

[@The_Sampler]

That new la sal is just a bigger bike, so I'll have both of them for different occasions!

[@NikkiRudy]

Man if you go out to Moab Utah again you should ride portal trail

[@focuskid22]

Aren’t you still rocking the GoPro hero 8 black?

[@tomassanesson902]

Awesome epik video

[@TheRiotMTB]

Seems like they building that trail system for competitions.

[@tallyrc]

Really short runs by design.

[@righteousbob272]

We’re back!!

[@philphil4725]

Ever near Greenville Spartanburg area let us know be cool to ride with ya I'm not as fast tho

You haven’t ridden in a while but still look smooth

I'm embarrased to say that I was already gased out just climbing to bermpeak trails.

[@OldFatSlow72]

You should get up with Bobo. I know that he boulders

[@hedrick5286]

She has my bike

[@thedoubleyellow9066]

It’s a heck of a bike! I’ve only been able to ride it a few times since I got it, but it’s so freaking smooth. Only gripe I have is that the Shimano chain is already rusting, whereas my hardtail has a KMC that I’ve used for years with no issue. I hope you love yours!

[@hedrick5286]

@@thedoubleyellow9066 really? Mines not rusting. Maybe you just got a bad one. lol.

[@thedoubleyellow9066]

@@hedrick5286 hahaha very possible! I’ve had it for just about 5 months, hardly ridden yet, and I always dry my bike after a rinse/wash. Not sure what I did to anger the MTB gods in this case, but I’ll be switching to a KMC when I can lol

[@hristosimeonov6515]

Yo, Alex, do a bouldering/ rock climbing video :) I sure will watch it!

[@matt45540]

Thata how I rode click bait too😬

[@canadmos]

More trails need off camber sections. Theyve pretty much dissapeared and its a skill many riders lack.

[@northwestmountainbikeaddic6874]

Crazy , I’m from the PNW and that last trail over here would be considered a blue trail, still sweet but , I guess the PNW is a lil gnarlier

[@tyarnold4088]

It's like that a lot of places. Some of your blues are probably more black than a black in the Midwest. Lol. Probably most blues.

[@Arctic_ZA]
