Wanna see me mountain biking in Utah?

Looks like a great trip. Most intense mountain bike ride I've ever done was out in the mountains near San Felipe, Mexico in the time before mountain bikes had shocks. It was brutal, and if we broke down there was no way going to be a rescue.

Somebody is freakin' cray Z. Forty years ago, w/ today's bikes it woulda been thrilling. Now, it's scary as heck just to watch... which I guess is thrilling in its own way. Maybe 3D Imax version to enhance the thrill. Great job. Glad it didn't scare you while doing it.

The first time I rode Porcupine Rim was 25 years ago in '89 and prior to this ride, it's been about 10 years since I was on it. That was on a fully rigid frame RockHopper back in the day. Needless to say, it was rough going. Your body absorbed every bit of the trail. Now on the full suspension bikes it is a much more forgiving ride.
You got it, that's exactly what I mean, the current equipment is so much better. I gave up trails in the early 90's, and riding altogether a little later, last ride was in April 1994. Would've been late 70's, maybe early 80's to have had the balls to ride those trails in your vids. Keep having fun while you still can, and post the videos so the rest of us can live vicariously thru them.

Man that video gave me motion sickness, I don't think I would mind doing it but watching got to me.
