Mountain Biking Captain Ahab in Moab, Utah
Спорт
I've been hearing about Captain Ahab for quite a while and was so stoked to finish out the Moab trip with this loop. Riding with Alexander from The Singletrack Sampler and our host and guide Randall.

Great video. I did this trail several years ago and watching this video makes me want to go back. Unfortunately I have quit mountainbiking due to to many injuries. This video brings tears to my eyes.

Ah man, I'm sorry you can't get back out there. I hope I did the ride justice and gave you a little taste of something you might not have seen again!
Outstanding scenery and skills!
Amazing view has to be a must on the bucket list to see that part of the country

The views were some of the best ever! Love that desert landscape!
Amazing riding, you keep doing bigger and bigger drops and getting more air. Makes want practice and ride more and more.
11:15 This is why we are such great riding partners - we know exactly when to join in on the duet.

I am very impressed with your technical riding. Much of that looks pretty tough. Awesome job! Also as a newer rider I just wanted to thank you for your videos documenting your mountain bike riding and travels. Not only am I getting more and more inspired but I feel like I am seeing places that I have never been and probably won't ever go. Love the channel man! All the best!

Just started following you recently and this is the second time an old video popped up where we were literally a week apart on the same trail!
Another spectacular ride. Moab looks like a dream mtb destination. Gotta say, its clear to see your confidence growing with every ride. Love how you are attacking the gnar on the DH sections and lovin it! Thats one of the joys of riding imo and thats definitely on display in size in this video! Keep it going!!! Its gonna be interesting to see what you got up to in Spain!

Such a sick video. Great riding! Dude I made it to Moab 5 days ago and have been riding like crazy. Tomorrow I’m riding Capt Ahab, I’ve watched this video like 5 times on loop. Thanks for the inspiration. I can’t wait to hit it in the morning!👍🏻 I also went up to Grand Junction (hit the Ribbon Trail) and also Fruita, 18 Road. Thanks for all your videos. You inspired me and have shown me so many awesome trails to ride. I’m so not ready to drive back to Cali on Sunday.

Having that rider in front of you really adds some nice perspective to the video. So many POV videos don't have any scale or context to them. Being able to see the guy in front go over obstacles, then you, makes the video more enjoyable to watch.

I have come full circle, Brian! This was the first video of yours I saw about a year ago when I first started riding, and I recall thinking how difficult that trail looked... and now I've ridden it myself! Yeah, I crashed, but they were stupid crashes. The 10:30 mark in your video is where I had my bad crash. I nailed my bars on that big rock that juts out on the left, turned the wheel 90 degrees and went OTB... to the right where I had to fall further to reach ground! I think my hand will be okay. It's getting better.

Such a killer view at 5:58, terrific filming as always Bro.I have to say to you like I did to Alexander +Single Track Sampler. Between the three of you guys the diverse styles of filming and riding is so awesome. More collabs. with these dudes is a must I think. Keep them coming. I was thinking when you get back, maybe do some hardtail plus size test. Just a thought.

Thanks Steve, it was such a good one. Great first ride of the trip to get warmed up and feel if your bike is dialed in (even though we did it last). Editing Day 1 from Spain today and there's too much good stuff. Patreon folks are going to get a LONG extended cut.
Always wanted to take a trip out there. An idea for a video may be to show how to travel with your bike. Because a lot of people have problems with traveling especially flying with air suspension and tubeless tires. Love the video and the Moab trip!
