8:50 I just can't get enough of this.
I love how everyone looks down on XC riders but they actually have skill.
5:41 that dude just played y’all.
Lol
Alright Florida Family, what's your favorite riding destination in the state? Thanks again to Squatch Bikes and Brews (www.squatchbikes.com/) for that AWESOME shot of the Gwazi berm and to the Alafia Trail Crew (@alafiamtb_trails on Instagram) and all the volunteers that made it happen - you all ROCK! 🤟
That berm is amazing there needs to be a webcam on that thing I could watch that flow all day!
You would have seen me eat it a couple weeks ago, as Bon Jovi says, Slippery When Wet
Totally jealous of the riding community down there, it looks like such a good vibe 24/7!! Lots of kids on bikes too! Awesome place!
It definitely is 💜 from town to trails, we all ride bikes in Tampa!
i love the xc bike whiping
Rok Bukva that dude made everyone look like clowns. That was classic
Considering that was Jason Blodget, not super surprising.
Dude in the Lycra on a XC rig with fixed seatpost and 110mm stem out jumping everyone. Lol
Ryan Rummler LoL. Yeah, he was a SRAM pro rider. 😂
That's what I was thinking!
Mr Tonka That was THE Jason Blodget! Check out his edit at Bakers Creek on his XC bike!
@@paugy2195 Thanks! Will do!
Florida representing! Love it.
What have I done wrong in my life that I don't have cheering fans handing me cold beer after a ride????
hahahaha isn't that the raddest thing ever? I feel so grateful 🙌
rest of us wondering that too, pretty sure we know why but do we have time to change ourselves?
@James D yea I think people who run cults have a similar beard and people think they are wise, like Jesus and some swami. Imagine the sampler way of life cult.lol
Hey - bring friends and have fun! Friends can hand you beer too...
Welp, it’s time for me to upload more frequently
Man, I love the happy spirit of latin brothers. They cheer up any occasion. Great video!
i’m just finding this video now but it’s probably my favorite one you’ve posted. it hypes me up to ride so much seeing you being so cool with all the local riders and everyone hanging around the spot sessioning together. greatest ending to a video ever also. great job man
Standing at my desk with a grin from ear to ear at the end of this!
Feels good, thank dood :D
Oh man, haven't ridden those trails in AGES! Lived in Gainesville for 10 years and frequented Santos all the time. Alafia turned into my spot after I moved to Tampa. Miss those trails!
Same here! We did Carter in Lakeland since it was just down the road a little ways, and then Alafia as a treat on the weekends. Never had the balls for the drops and features at Santos, tho.
That is awesome, love the good vibes!
I love how some mystery XC professional just popped up out of nowhere and owned everyone.
Found this place on a random roadtrip by chance yesterday. Never even seen what a trail looked like or considered doing this before yesterday. 5 of your videos later and now we are already set to go back next week. Love the energy. Cant wait!
The stoppie turn guy is just so badass
Very cool that group came together. Looked like everyone was having a blast. Always amazed by this trail system in the swamp. So unique.
Seeing the work along with the dough put out for so many to enjoy especially the kids gives me great hope for the future of mtn biking and humanity
Hey man thanks for the video! I’m just getting started in Florida and hitting Alafia and super scared to even go fast on the simple ones. Seeing you guys shred it is super cool and inspirational. Keep it up !
Thanks for featuring me toward the end of your video Alex! That gwazi feature and jump is so addictive
People really love you man, it's you caring for others and enjoying peoples company that makes you so lovable, even across the internet.
Awesome Video. Everyone having such a great time together upping their skills is great to see. Keep up the good work.
Rolling with the crew! Looks like a great place to advance skills. You guys were sending it!
NICE!! That's what I'm talking about....a day of messing around and having fun on bikes. Sessioning is a lost art! Loved it when the XC guy did the endo-turn after he was warned about the drop, and then later he did a little mini-hip, which isn't that impressive except that his seat was about an inch from orbit. Cool to see more "off the bike" shots, with some POV spliced in. I need to get back to doing more of that...so much more intrigue for the viewers. Keep 'em coming!
This is a tight video. I love the way he captures the spirit for those of us that ride on the dirt and in the woods. Great video!
The ending of this video is perfect loving seeing people having a great time!
That new feature is awesome and the story on its funding is a great idea for other local trails. You and Joe were getting it done!
Bro... I just found your channel.! I love it you are living the dream. I will be living vicariously through you for awhile. Awsome to see you are in FL doing some vlogs whisking I would’ve went out that day
Your energetic personality is so infectious. Love your channel man keep the videos coming! Also I thought I would never say this but I'm actually jealous of those Florida trails haha!
Then last few minutes of that video are awesome!! The whole video is awesome, but the amount of stoke from everyone at the end really shows what mtb'rs are about! Fun!
Fuck yea!
Guy with the high seat got style! Amazing ending Alex!
Awesome trails and Super Cool ending! All the vibes!
Your a celebrity!!! Yeah buddd!! Awesome video like always Alex!!
Loved it. I was just there this weekend for the first time. Amazing place. Great job on the Video! 👊👍
Love your vids man. Keep it up. Love from England 🤙🤙
Nice to see how you guys are enjoying
Back here in the UK everyone is so competitive. Even when i hit the trails there is no laugh and talking . We just try n beat thehell out of each other . So hats off to you for showing us how to enjoy while biking .
Looks like fun times on a really cool trail, I have to check it out when I go to Florida.
Love these trails! Haven't been back since breaking my shoulder there, but I'll be back soon!
Great seeing you hitting the new berm. I was off to the side up top. 😂
Alafia is my home trail and I have to say it's crazy watching your take and your style on trails I ride all the time!
What a sweet family to run into there at the end. They've definitely got the stoke. Glad you're liking the new features! We're definitely spoiled over here now :)
Great video bro. Always so entertaining!!!!!
I'm 35, used to bmx up till 24, then quit after a hard slam. My kids are just starting to ride bikes, so I pulled out my old bmx and rode with them. The years or working the oil patch has taken a toll on my body so it was quite unpleasant. I rode a mountain bike once, when I was 16. Rode my wife's 100 dollar Walmart special the other day and it opened my eyes. I always thought I would never want to ride bikes again. After watching a few mountain bike videos, I decided I am going to start my second chapter.
Thanks for the inspiration.
@@planeandsimple431 oh for sure, I know you get what you pay for. I snapped plenty of frames down huge gaps to flat concrete landings. As far as I am concerned her Walmart bike is acceptable to ride with my 2 year old daughter, and that's about it. I was originally looking for just a bike to ride with my kids, but after a few videos and reads, I have decided I want to take on some mild trail riding to get back into it. As much as I would love to go hit the skate park or dirt jumps on my bmx, my professional daredevil days are over. I sold my dirt bikes around the same time I hurt myself riding professionally. This looks like a perfect mix of both, with a little bit less risk.
Such a fun video! Never thought I would be digging florida videos over colorado but man these little trails (and lots of fun people) look like so much fun, love the idea of doing lots of little sessions :-)
I love this video, I am so fortunate because I live very close to this trail and its also one of my favorites, and yes the Bike community here it’s wonderful everybody supports each other, everybody looks out for each other is just an amazing community and super super positive!!!!
I was there just last weekend! So was Clint Gibbs!
Who was the dude in the BOOMBABY jersey? Dude had mad skills and was rocking the Lycra and clipless pedals, old school FLA style! Alex & Joe, I will make it down there soon and I want to ride with you guys or if you make it up to Tallahassee, hit me up!
He was wearing baggies but def XC bike. He was shredding it!
Pedals and Plants he was a pro rider for sram.
Mr Tonka yeah Jason blodget I believe
Rad video Alex; loved the ending!
Man, great support for riding in FL! Features looked really cool!🤘
Brilliant as always. Litterary addicted to you videos
I adore how everywhere you go there's always heaps of smiles and laughter. A great antidote to the faux machismo (extreme bro') that used to surround MTBing
You and Seth inspired me to pick up a hard tail after not being on a bike for a long time went and got sketchy at duthie hill last weekend with my boy now I'm hooked
LF RH & GS
what bike did you choose :p ? I Love hardtail, i sold my fs for a ht.
Diamondback sync'r
🔥🤘🏻🔥
Duthie is rad! Great to hear
Nice job showcasing our Alafia! Looking forward to hitting it!
Just found this, and the park. Getting back into trails, and gonna get my son into it too. Awesome.
Alafia is getting awesome by the day, so glad you enjoyed it
Intense et super fun, belle vidéo, félicitation 👍🚴♂️🙋♂️
Santos still has more features in the pit area, but Alafia is imho the best overall experience. The trails flow so much better and with the new added features the builders have made an incredibly well rounded place.
Great work sampler your vids make me want to ride so stoked 🤟🤟🤟
Great video, especially with so much stoke at the end!
this is my home trail to i love it it was the first couple of trails i rode
Damn Joe was rocking it! Sweet group Alex, hometown hero my man. Looks like a blast.
This is an awesome trail! Love those features!
Man your fans are amazing, you got my sub
Simply awesome guys!!!
I'd love to have trails like that near home! Great video as always!
Just found your channel it’s great. Amazing video
AWESOME!!! I may be moving down there and currently spoiled by rad MTB trails of the northeast. This is just what I need o see to keep my MTB stoke alive.
love your videos dude hope to see you out there sometime!
The energy is awesome in this video
Seeing the words Florida and mountain in the same sentence got a chuckle out of me.
I love wood features. They can be pieces of art!
Awesome video man good content 100%
I've started really getting into mountain biking recently, and I'll be getting a good hardtail soon, and possibly a full-suspension after that. So I took my current sorta cheap hardtail out for a ride on some rough terrain, did it all with no crashes, then went on roads, vaulted over speedbumps, and cleared everything. And then I slipped. On a flat road. And got cut. *On a flat road.*
This looks awesome, I'm flying in tomorrow and I plan to spend thurs. & fri. riding here.
Great trail the vibe was super good
Who the Hell thumbs downs this stuff?? Great video, one of the best of Alifia. I’ll be riding there all next week. The best in Florida!!
Rollercoaster is home to the nastiest wipeout I’ve ever had😂Such a fun ride though!
I just got on a bike for the first time in 3 years and I do not remember it being so hard to peddle like my legs are burning😭😂 (it’s just a cruiser not a mountain bike) but idk how you do it, keep up the good work!
Dude I love Alafia.... I didn't know you started there...
Bad ass !! Me too. Keep on keeping on...
I cant wait to try this out !
Super rad. Your Florida fam loves you!
great playground, great fun ... loved how the children already rode like a pro
Killer weekend of riding! Fun trails, awesome people! 10 of 10, would do again!! :D
Mr Tonka Dude you’re shredding hard! I need to ride with you, get some tips on hitting jumps. I’m like a fish out of water, when it comes to hitting a jump, especially the ones with the lip
Racz Rides Come on up buddy!! Bring me a 2019 Range Rover sport SC please!! Mine is leaking coolant!! 🙄
Mr Tonka Actually my buddy and I were just talking about making a trip over to Tampa area to ride. I’ll let you know when we set it up. Send me the specs and I’ll order you a new Sport 😬
@@raczrides4031 I'll build one up. Actually am thinking about getting a new one. So damn expensive though!!
Joe come visit us in Denver where Yeti is based!
I love your enthusiasm. Great location.
Can’t wait to go try it out!
Dude you trailing the camera is an awesome shot...I’d love to see a full ride like that.
Nice seeing you out at Alafia! Ingrid and I made the vid 🤙🤙
Very nice. I like the huge burn. I plan on making one on my trail.
Hey I grew up on the Alafia River and this place is only 30 minutes from home. Can't wait to get out there soon!
Gotta admit I'm feeling pretty proud right now to be an Alafia trail builder! Go ATC!! We are a pretty small but very passionate group. It's amazing what passion can accomplish.
Thank you STS for all you do! I'm there almost everyday and was sad to have missed you both days by just minutes. Absolutely loved this episode of my home base! Get stoked!
Oh and it's the first trail I ever rode too! 😊
Cheryl Cleveland nice trail.. I haven’t been in a while but I’ll get down there soon
Ah you know it's close to the holidays when the Florida videos start to surface. Nice to see you riding back at home. Come check out the new bunker hill trail in Jupiter. Pretty rad.
LOL
Your BEST video to date!
Hey these are the first trails I ever ride they are great fun I am going there on monday and i cant wait
Love the way it sounds indoors
Great vibe and excellent fun to watch! You are such a good bloke and I'd love to ride with you guys. Where i live in Sydney there are tons of very cool options within 20 mins of home and many might trails beyond - maybe you should bring the crew Down Under one day! :-) Cheers and ride easy - Dave
