Tucson Tech Trail with Kyle Mears and Randy Sooter

[@natehills9388]

Anyone else miss watching Kyle have his way with the trail? It's been too long.

[@gregwebster8784]

For sure! That guy rips!

[@jeffrichards1000]

When I saw it was Kyle, I watched immediately.

[@jeradwells9275]

That dude is an insanely talented rider.

[@gnarlow996]

That dude rides the way the rest of us think we ride

[@nathansheinbein1321]

That transfer line on the main slab is insane.

[@natehills9388]

Proper transfer for sure.

[@SmokeytheBeer]

I've ridden that rock roll (not the transfer part) and the camera does not do it justice. It's scary, nearly a 15 ft drop off to your left. That transfer was so sick.

I've ridden most of those trails for 25 or 30 years and never seen them ridden like that!

[@gamberride9780]

Love it! One missed turned and death by cactus! 🌵 Awesome riding! Beautiful trail!

[@hansrosario-singer1349]

I live in Tucson and can verify, these trails are so rad. It is cool to see how good of riders these guys really are when you've ridden the same trails, serious go-pro effect in this video.

Love your trails!

Nothing like a Hills and Mears mashup! The Randy can ride too. Great vid!!

[@TrailsNC]

Can't believe you were riding that fast in all that dust. Super rad!!

[@IzInAZ]

gotta love Tucson in the winter. it was a little rainy today but the clouds only hold the heat in. Went to the store at 8pm and had the windows down a bit cause it felt good

[@natehills9388]

Dirt was amazing today.

What a stoke, Mears is a monster 👺, alt lines all day long. You guys crushed it, cheers Nate.

I hardly comment on anything, but now i have to. Thats your best video so far and i have watched most of them. Best wishes Nate. Keep it going, thats the pinnacle of trail riding !!!

[@SmokeytheBeer]

Way to send that rock roll at 6:10! I know that slab well and you sent the nearly vertical option on rider's right. Gnarly!!

[@yomp_mtb]

Dayum! Everything about that edit deserves an A+! Trails, visuals, shredding... perfection.

There are alot of vids of the 50 year trail shot in the morning or day, but this is the first I have seen shot at sunset. Outstanding visuals with the dust and the sunsetting; Catalinas in the golden hour is off the charts spectacular. Thanks for posting Nate!

Unreal afternoon light!

[@toms4702]

What an amazing trail!! So Brutal.....but everyone seemed to be having such a great time. Cant say enough about Kyle. Love his riding style, so efficient. Loved when he bunny hopped over that boulder. Maybe you should get Kyle and Lars together and let them beat the trail to death! Thanks for all the FollowcamFriday's Nate, their much appreciated!

Покатушка суперская, звук подвески и природа завораживают.Отдельное спасибо за металл👍🤘

[@daltonzanetti]

For those wandering, the trails in succession are 50 year, upper 50 year, around the mountain, rattlesnake, cowboy slick rock, back to upper 50 year, middle gate, and back on 50 year. At least according to Trailforks. And it was a clockwise loop. That transfer was nuts.

[@daltonzanetti]

Also if you’re ever out here again Nate, there are bigger and gnarlier rock slabs off the beaten path of Gem trail that you passed just before you went through the gate on Upper 50 year.

[@dft1]

so route is start by climbing 50 year, climbing upper 50, climbing around the mountain, then down starts? thanks
