Awesome examples of awesome riding
I want to put some of the best riding — ever! — in one place for us mortals to study. I’m looking for clean shredding.
Check these out, and tell me what I missed!

What did you miss? Anything by Danny Macaskill… I guess he’s technically a trials rider, but his video, “The Ridge,” is more mountain biking,and I think you can learn a thing or two from it about pumping terrain and body positioning, especially over steep terrain. That flip over the fence at the end is kind of cool, too.
Having ridden those trails in Laguna (as opposed to say, Leogang), the speed at which Lopes is travelling is terrifying — in an awesome way.
Darn right Feldy.
I rode those trails with Brian last year. I was thinking, I’m a lot faster than I was the last time we rode together …
But so is Brian!
Well actually, my favorite is this:

Two super folks, having fun. What could be more compelling?
Apparently, on the Interwebs, cats.
Wow, that’s very kind of you! I do love riding with Conrad.
