Hey Kyoat, SUPER stoked to hear you're love of riding has been rekindled. trust me, I know how hard it can be - I'm most likely not that far behind you as I'm already 2 knee surgeries in - but there's no sense in feeling sorry for ourselves right? We just gotta get our asses in the saddle and ride!!! Keep up the hard work my dude, and obviously LIVE FREE, RIDE HARD, & GET STOKED!!

That is so cool that you let Bennett ride with you, I hope you know how much you boosted the kids ego and he will remember that his whole life I guarantee you. I knew that kid would clear all the climbs.

Just finished the most EPIC weekend of riding with 6 amazing friends from the channel. I CANNOT WAIT to show you guys how absolutely stunning the singletrack is out here in Crested Butte and the ridiculous fun we had. Now, I'm off to find Seth as he is somewhere in Colorado going on his 24th hour of driving, so wish us luck as we start our 2 week CO roadtrip together........ also..... WHERE'S DURK!!???

Alex man it seems like youve found your KZread MTB channel niche and its so fun to watch man... riding with subscribers, sessioning obstacles and really showing these tough climbs rocks dude! Keep killin it! P.S. The dude in the blue helmet being so stoked at the end was awesome

I need to put that kid in a Trail Boss video!! He kills it!

This just in: you've been working hard and deserve a break, TAKE IT!

I've been riding mtb for nearly 20 years now (half my life) and I have to admit, in 17:34 you showed nearly everything that is good and pure with mountain biking. This may sound cheesy, but congrats at succeeding in life.

Appreciate the quick bike checks. Always curious what everyone's riding. :) Looked like a brutal, and super fun climb. Nice one!

1:50 I've got the exact model of stumpjumper (Except 2014) and I've loved how versatile it's been. It can take climbs, xc, and still performs on north shore trails. My stumpjumper was also my first mtb and it was a easy transition from my previous $350 hardtail. Nice seeing others enjoying the bike.

I just got back from a ride and there's a new video up! that's amazing timing!

Dude, I love it! Been watching your channel for a bit now and everytime you have a new vid loaded, I cant wait to watch it. God Bless and shred on!

New guilty pleasure. I appreciate the positive vibe.

Great video. I was in tears laughing so hard watching all the attempts at the impossible switchback. Bennett...amazing skills...keep it up !

"...and kinda hurt my pinkie." That made me laugh, dude. Looks like you guys had an epic fun day. That's what its all about. Hope your pinkie's ok.

I've found that as long as you don't have the pack stuffed to the bursting point, they don't really hinder anything. Once they're filled to where you can't even put in another energy bar, they drag you down like a dragster brake (which is a parachute).

really like all the 3rd person shots in this video! looked like a great crew. keep it up!

Hey Alex! What's up, man? So I didn't get to see this earlier today because my work system was offline all day. Prolly will be tomorrow, too. Glad I could catch this before putting my kids to bed. 3:37 - Seems that overshooting the trail is a common thing, these days. I've been doing that a lot, lately. 5:06 - Bennett is lucky to have met up with you. Also, I really want to work at a bike shop. 11:56 - Bennett is totally showing y'all up. Haha! Send it, Bennett! 12:35 - Yeah, I would totally risk falling to get a shot of that view! 13:13 - Dude, it looked like you nearly went over again. 14:10 - Man, it looks like this climb's got the switchbacks from Hell. 16:45 - Clif bars, dude. I love those things. Looking forward to the downhill part. And good show from Bennett! #LFRHGS Until next time, stay upright and keep the rubber side down. -Brian

That switchback was sick! Awesome Benet pulled it off and saved you guys. ;) Keep riding and stay safe.

Haha awesome. Need to ride with you sometime.... I'm always leaving my backpack unzipped!

Man oh man it gets better and better great video I'm so stoked I'm gonna go riding in the a.m. lol!

Great vid. Would love to see more of the descent.

Man your energy is amazing, I love you.

OMG that switchback session was hilarious. :D And Bennett is a badass rider.

Saw Seth' video about your accidents and him helping you back on tract. Very inspiring.

Really enjoyed the video. It reminds me of the guys I used to ride with. Just keep trying until you make a section. So much fun. Been 2 years since I've riden. Hope to ride this year.

Dude, having such a laugh watching you guys session that switchback.

Do we get to see the down?

This is awesome, love these videos. Bergen Peak is a great ride, most front range trails are good climbs (Deer Creek, White Ranch, Apex, Mt Falcon). So now maybe Alex you can see why having the right of way when you're climbing makes sense, it sucks having to stop on a narrow, steep and technical singletrack when you're on a rhythm to let someone zipping by downhill and it's not always possible to get going again (getting traction, clipping in for those of us still using clipless pedals).

Gnarly Gnar Gnar trails...man. I live in Prescott, Arizona, and we have some pretty rocky trails here also. Great video!

LOL! "This is getting a little hairy already!" *pulls wheelie*

Had a dyslexic moment the other week. Was telling my bro about the Single Sack Trampler 😂 So sorry! Love your videos, road trips, etc! Keep it up!

I feel like it's pretty darn good practice pedaling up that counterclockwise... easy to say you would be well mastered if you could clean the whole thing!

This is hilarious because in Australia (at least where I live), there are no lifts whatsoever so this is what I do every time I go mountain biking. It's painful but rewarding.

Nice!! So jealous!! Thanks for sharing!!

The dude with the shoulder problem reppin the cardinals tank🤘🤘🤘

Alex, your level of stoke is contagious!

Super inspired after looking at that kid killing it!!!! Thank you for what you do.

Haha so epic how that Kid just did it first try. Showing all you guys 😂

Hey Alex, you make dope videos. Super nice dude with a killer attitude. Love the channel and keep up the sick vids!

Bennett rocks. How fun. Bergan Peak is a great challenge trail. I climb it on my hardtail. You went the harder direction. Funny, you got to the nasty nasty climb section and ... walked it. So did I. The view is amazing at the top ... and the down is so worth it.

this is better than going to the movies

Very cool sess. I like how different ages can come together no problem, and is always good to have the reminder of being humble enough to know and accept that we are always learning, from a senior sometimes or sometimes from a kid ? Kids are the shit ! Cheers man ! Be really good !

Nice. I love that you filmed the climb on this one. I may be weird, but I prefer climbing to downhill. I love to hurt, and I love trying to through a maneuver at .2 miles an hour. so hard! love the pain!

Bennett you were killing it !!!

Super cool that you showed what no body sees, the way up!!!!!

Alex, you rock my world! Love your videos you inspire me :-)

Super techy climb. So many places I would've failed or dabbed. Definitely a trail that makes you better. Would love to ride it.

TSS.. this video was so entertaining. the switchback glitch back...cool camera editing..oooh, and keep the bike checks coming. when you love to ride you'll ride...um...anything............................crickets chirping... yeah...things with wheels. Have a nice day!

I'm impressed your pulling wheelies all the way!

Me encantó este Video los Tour recreativos son mis favoritos.

Hey man, I started mountain biking around 6 months ago with some friends, we would hit up some of the local trails. I currently ride a Cannondale trail 5 bike and just wanted to get your advice on if you think that it would be a good bike to take on some downhill bike parks, right now all i really ride are cross country trails.

Alex, bruh, do we need to start a go fund me for a New Jersey? That purple one has about had it. Just playing man. Love the videos. Keep up the shredding!

This looks so fun !!

I live a few miles from Bergen, and climb it regularly during the warm weather months. No doubt, it's a solid grind with some good tech, although I usually take it clockwise (up Bergen trail/ down too long). Awesome job clearing everything and that kid is a billy goat! You'll definitely run into local bikers on this trail every now and then that can just rock it.

Awesome ride Alex. Keep it up. You should get the King of the Mountain Trophy or actually Give it to Bennett. That kid is a stud.

Great ridin & fun movie 🤣😂

you needed to throw some benny hill theme in with that switchback session

Riding hard.. getting stoked!!

dude! Good video! That kicked ass!

Nicely done kiddo. I really feel like there should have been some old silent movie style music at the 11 minute mark though. ;)

You sound like you're dying on the climbs, it's my favorite part, makes me feel better that I'm not the only one, lol. Well then I dunno, also really like the danger giggles when disaster is impending and the victory yells. Okay so it's all my favorite.

Very cool climb...... as I sit in my recliner watching it that is ;)

I have a felt mountain bike sx24, idk if that’s the right specs and stuff, is this appropriate for doing this type of terrain aswell?

"We work hard for the money! we work hard for the downhill..." had me dying xD

I just moved to Colorado in the Denver area, just south of Denver. I am looking forward to putting myself back on the bike again, regaining the time and skills I have lost over being off a bike for about 2 years.

You are becoming a better storyteller. Keep it up and thanks.

What a great channel bro!

The key to cleaning rocky climbs is to gear up! You need to push a higher gear so that you can hover over saddle keeping hard pressure on the pedals. Keep trying it over and over until you clean it!

Love that trail, grew up riding it

Nooo that ending !!!!! How could you end it like that !?! Ahhhh part two need now

The first time I ever rode this I went the other direction and it was early spring. We finally made it to the top (after waking way too much of it) and were excited for the downhill. Then we discovered that the downhill, on the Northside of the mountain, still had snow on it! We had to walk about half a mile to get out of the snow.

Great edit!

I need to go there!! Living the dream

what is that cartorydge in that spezialiced stunt jumper 2013 in next to rear breakes

I like your bikes so much.... Thank you for your video in youtube. Wish i had one bike

Man you guys must have some insane cardio!

I was sad to see Bennett go, he's a trail monster

Hey. Are you going to OuterbIke later this week.?

That 12 year old smoked you guys 😂 bet he had a brilliant time

For me clipless definitely helps with such rock features. The ability to put the rear wheel right where you want it makes it surprisingly easy

i always found that on my enduro bike ( rocky mountain slayer profile picture is my old bike ) it was a lot easier to clean really tech climbs by lower my dropper post so i have more room to move on my bike.

Sick trails guys, would definitely ride them someday..cheers from malaysia
