    Enjoyed it... the riding looked fun, and it looked like you had a good time making it.

    Nice trails, good riding, fun and fast paced - I liked it. The little lefty righty flick thing I thought was particularly good.

    Not sure the title quite works though - fun for sure but arent all rides?!

    There's boring XC-riding across fields and then there's playing around. That was my thinking.

    Cool video dude, that's exactly my idea of XC - it doesn't have to be boring!!

    I guess - personally I dont do rides that involve boring stuff unless its a short burst to get to the good stuff! You are lucky if that is all on your doorstep!

    Most of the riding near me isn't great. Both the jumpy sections were filmed at the DH tracks and a little dirt jump spot. Everything else is just bog standard XC stuff and nothing to get excited about.

    top notch, good watch that and interesting to see how you did all the recording yourself, must have taken a while! But worth the effort.
