Backcountry Redemption: Conquering the Ultimate Mountain Biking Challenge!
Zach and his good buddy return to the rugged backcountry trails of Silverado Canyon, CA, determined to finish what they once couldn’t. After a previous attempt ended in failure due to unfortunate events, they set out on a mission to conquer these epic trails. With stunning scenery, challenging terrain, and a lot of heart, they tackled the loop with style and made it to the finish. Watch as they overcome the obstacles and reclaim their redemption in this unforgettable mountain biking adventure!
Zach is a brain tumor survivor who defies all odds. He excels in most sports, especially mountain biking, which he enjoys as a way to push his limits and have fun. Originally, this channel was a place for Zach to post RAW mountain biking footage, but since his diagnosis, he’s had a change of heart about his life's direction. Once aspiring to be an engineer, Zach now dedicates himself to being a voice for childhood cancer patients and survivors.Since this change, he's been active on the channel again, focusing primarily on mountain biking and action sports content. Creating sports videos is not only fun for Zach, but it also serves as a platform to expand his audience and raise awareness for childhood cancer.

      @TumorWarrior It has evolved over the years. Originally, YT opened their bike mill next to the trails, and they had demo bikes to ride and free beer! The jumps and DH trails were further and fewer in-between at the time. But still steep and technical. During covid, the trails saw a lot more attention, and now it's a dirt jumpers' wet dream.
