You aren't wrong here. 20+20 = not much time to move. That said, both of us are "part of the problem" if we are going downhill so fast we can't avoid whoever is around the corner ahead. Blazing by a hiker who is cowering out of the way isn't exactly a positive for trial access...regardless of if there is a collision. This is exactly what is leading to trail issues (and potential closures) more-so than E-Bikes IMO. E-Bikes are just easier for us to go "them, THEM! Those are the guys causing problems!" Shades of grey I suppose... What is...

Yeah, it looks fun. Maybe not two stroke on the pipe GNCC fun, but fun. One thing I keep trying my hardest to do is reframe the whole e-bike question without all my previous bias. The thing I keep hearing over and over is "trail access", and honestly I was quick to jump on that bandwagon. ...but when I think about it, I'm not sure this really holds much water. Yes, e-bikes allow you to go faster uphill, and maybe faster downhill, MAYBE. Having ridden one, I could get back up to speed out of a corner that I messed...

Hey guys! Thanks for watching. I know this can be a controversial subject but like motomike said there is some cool backstory behind all this. Check out this little interview I did with the co president of mx sports Carrie Russell https://youtu.be/eoGKabYwjSA

I can assure you they were NOT paid for this, in fact Cam paid to have it filmed properly out of his own pocket. Trek would slap a fat logo on this if they were paid you dumbass. Maybe their dad didn't ride bikes with them when they were younger because they mostly rode jumps. Just because Pat looks like a beginner (which he is to mtb) doesn't mean shit. Cam is beyond stoked he gets to share his passion and career with his dad (and whole family) so who the fuck are you to call them sellouts? When 90%...

This was super rad!!! Only thing that annoyed me was the frame rate/shutter speed it was shot at. Why so fast if you arent using slomo?? Way too glitchy, takes away from the raw/organic feeling imho, especially on the closeups..

First of all, terrible commercial... what's with the chick? That said, I think it would be a blast to ride up a mountain as fast as I can go down, on trails that I can't ride my motorcycle on. Those of you that think it's some sort of sacrilege to ride up with the aid of a motor, remember that the next time you shuttle or buy a lift ticket...
