We’re all fucked, Nate. The only thing we really have control over these days is the amount of time we take to throw a leg over a bike. The rich are going to continue feeding each other, like a bunch of swine filling each other’s troughs, while the rest of us bicker amongst each other about which party is best. The balances are swinging, but there’s no one left to check it.
The courts! I feel you tho, esp when 45 keeps appointing radicalized right wing maniacs to federal courts (and possibly SCOTUS). Ride bikes more now than ever considering it might be only a matter of time till ebikes take over the goddamn trails.
Something is up with your color correction, every time you switch to a new clip, you get about 1 second of it, then it flips back to a flatter profile. Still rad though! :)
The way you guys link up some of those lines is just crazy. I guess I don't have the vision for that cool shit. People say I ride some wack lines but it's usually just what I think will be fast and keep my momentum. That was so fun to watch, especially some of that backdoor cam stuff.
I have to admit, half the time, I was watching the scenery and not your riding. 😀 Your videos, showing how you ride, is a good example of both the build quality of Yeti bikes and how well you maintain your bike. Fun video!
Fantastic! That's how it's done right there. My buddy and I first rode that trail way back in 2000, on hard tails! Probably have ridden it a dozen times since then, so much fun, except for that step-up out of that creek bed. Lol
Nate Hills Have not tried it, the drop off to the right freaks me out. I'm usually wore out by the time we get there so I just hike it. I've broke a bike and flatted out twice coming down that trail so not a great track record. Still love it.
Outstanding riding again by yourself & your buddies thanks for the ride along, we all like to think we ride like you but you guys are in a totally different league 🤘🍻
If there is one spot on GoPro that NEVER does any justice, it's "The Notch" on Porcupine rim. At least that's what I think it's called. It's just before you hopped up the far side of the creek bed....where Krunk did the crazy hop to the right to get back to the line...and I'm assuming from his comments, rode it blind. That is steep, and has a high penalty if you go off the right side of it...which is where everything wants to take you. You guys ride it like it's nothing, but the average rider will get to that...and wonder how you guys did that at that speed. I'm betting at least 75% of the riders who get to that spot walk their bikes down it.
when I am watching your videos always tell to myself this trail I could do it pretty easy, and then when I watch other riders video from the same trail, I got slap my beautiful face by idea stay away from that trail......lol! Great quality gimbal helps a lot but you guys..... geez what a real pleasure to watch masters like you are, thank you again! Btw Nate have question who (what company) made your stickers/stencils what you proudly presenting on your bars, thank you and keep up good work, and now have to wait 7 days again! Cheers!
Great video as always, and insane riding. Someone else commented on why the colors seem so muted on your videos lately. It's almost an apocalyptic look to them. Did you change a setting, or maybe have something wrong with your GoPro?
Yeah, the GoPro's do great with good lighting, and horrible with mottled light. Cloudy at least shows the trail pretty well, so it's always a challenge right? Either way....killer riding!
So, I watched my edit and I have no explanation for what looks like changes to color profile, mid clip.... The original video files play perfectly. Something went haywire with the upload.... Such a bummer. It looks like the camera is correcting for light but its definitely not the camera.... iMovie is free, so I guess I can't really complain, but this is really bumming me out...
Mitch Warren htuk really depends on how much of it you want to ride, and how much snow it gets on top... If you want to ride "The WHOLE enchilada", Burro is usually open by mid June, and snows in by Halloween usually.
Nate or any other Yeti owners have you had any problems with the triangle cracking cuz i really wanted a yeti but this was one thing putting me off them?
I think you have been looking at the internet too much.... If you did buy a Yeti and it broke, they would happily replace the frame as they stand behind their product....
I haven't broken any to be honest. I am sure people have. The same is true for every carbon of aluminum bike, regardless of brand. Sometimes things break and at the end of the day, you want to support a company that stands behind their products.
Nate Hills Amazing Video as always! How often do you service and replace the linkage bearings? I have a SB5.5 and have heard the general recommendation to replace them annually, but that can vary depending on miles and conditions. Just wondering what your routine is since you are putting heavy use on yours.
Thoughts on the current "net neutrality" situation???
Fucking shills working against progress. Sick video tho, so that's keeping me going.
Really hoping the court systems do what they were designed for.
What is this thing you speak of? I don't keep up on world issues.

9 minutes of radness for your viewing pleasure. The bottom is my favorite part of TWE. What's yours??
Yeeeeeah Boi! Lower Porcupine Rim ST is the shizzz.
Something is up with your color correction, every time you switch to a new clip, you get about 1 second of it, then it flips back to a flatter profile. Still rad though! :)
Skip Burro, and ride Hazzard down for me! Thanks for the sweet line hints! Some great new lines I need to try.
Not sure what is happening there. I have not used any color correction...... This is making me sad.
Rear cam on those straight aways in the first half was sick!!!
KS little giddy up down the rocks at 7:45 is just damn pretty. Thanks for the stoke Nate.
Like this reversed cam-follow cam style a lot. Specially when you get 2 others following close. Good stuff, keep doing.
Great camera work and amazing riding! You made that bottom section of PR look like child’s play, well done.
It's a pretty awesome feeling when you finally see the river. I still need to practice the step up at the end.
The way you guys link up some of those lines is just crazy. I guess I don't have the vision for that cool shit. People say I ride some wack lines but it's usually just what I think will be fast and keep my momentum. That was so fun to watch, especially some of that backdoor cam stuff.
It's always interesting to see different peoples vision for line selection.
Really like the rear facing cam!!! Shows the gnarliness of the trail so much better!! Keep em comin’!!
Cheers Abe.
The chase cam POV was awesome, cool footage.
Thank you for being one of the few riders that films in 4k, Looks so crisp. Great riding too!
Not sure why more people aren't using 4K....
Love your channel. Living vicariously through your vids in the Midwest. Our trails are much different. Can't wait to get out that way soon.
Make it happen friend.
I have to admit, half the time, I was watching the scenery and not your riding. 😀 Your videos, showing how you ride, is a good example of both the build quality of Yeti bikes and how well you maintain your bike. Fun video!

Probably have ridden it a dozen times since then, so much fun, except for that step-up out of that creek bed. Lol
Have you tried the step up? It's not that bad really.... Unless you fall to the right... Then it's bad.
Nate Hills

Haha, sounds about right. This trail eats bikes.
Outstanding riding again by yourself & your buddies thanks for the ride along, we all like to think we ride like you but you guys are in a totally different league 🤘🍻
That is just jaw-droppingly beautiful. Thanks for all the 'work' Nate - have a great Christmas and safe trails in '18.
As always, thanks for the support Don!
It's amazing how much mtb wheels flex during hard riding. Very interesting to watch
Burro is definitely my favorite section with the bottom section of Porcupine being a pretty close second.
You guys ride that lower single track portion faster than I thought possible
Krunk's little hip style bunny hop to angled rock was noice!
Cool improv line there...

The lead Camera angle is EPIC! Funny though it's hard to tell where you are on the trail from that view!
I can't stress this enough, I watch this channel to see all the sick lines! Thanks Nate! - RC
@7:57, damn! That step up is huge, video really does not do it justice.
Nate you are The F...ing Boss!!!!
Sick rip and edit! Really dig that rear facing follow cam. Steezy as always!
Awesome mountain goat biking really enjoyed the front and back perspectives great shreds
Back cam 4 life! 🤘
Speedy and terrifying all at the same time. Was waiting to see if you made it up the gully. Nice job.
I only put that gully shot in there because people always ask.... It's easy, haha.
Awesome as always..... Love to try and ride some of these trails you ride. 🤘🤘
I want to get to Moab and do TWE . This is a great follow!
Adrenaline injection before my upcoming ride. Nate & friends always bring it.
Get some!
Love your videos keep up the great work
Praying for some fresh powder for you bud back in the mountains. Rad video
Rear view is pretty rad!
when I am watching your videos always tell to myself this trail I could do it pretty easy, and then when I watch other riders video from the same trail, I got slap my beautiful face by idea stay away from that trail......lol! Great quality gimbal helps a lot but you guys..... geez what a real pleasure to watch masters like you are, thank you again!
Btw Nate have question who (what company) made your stickers/stencils what you proudly presenting on your bars, thank you and keep up good work, and now have to wait 7 days again! Cheers!
Really awesome stuff!
Rear cam also allows to have a more realistic view of what the trail really is, sick!!!!!
I want your bike nate. Next bike forsure.
thanks for that friday gnar
Great footage!! Were you riding your 5.5 or 4.5? Awesome looking trail! Thanks for sharing and always posting the best MTB videos!
This was filmed on my 5.5.
Man rear cam is such a Nasty Girl love it!
Awesome riding dude! Seeing as you were back in Moab, any more videos with Mears on the cards?
Kyle has been injured unfortunately.
Ah man, nothing too serious I hope?
Nothing too serious, he'll be back in no time.
There any good rides in Alburquerque NM? Off for the holiday, jumping in the truck and headed west for some rides.
I have never ridden in ABQ...
7:43 holy rad line
That "lead" camera footage is great, too. Where/how do you attach or wear the gimbal?
Same rig, just upside down and backwards, attached to my pack.
Super Sick!
Followingcamfriday
NATE, this trail was sick man...so much fun to watch....considering my bike would fall apart on a trail like this lol ! Have you ever been to the PNW?
I've spent a bit of time in the PNW. I really enjoy the riding there.
Definitely man....some of the best parks in the world up here
it looks like certain death if mistakes are made around the 4:40 mark.
The exposure on that section is pretty intense.
what are you using for rear camera setup - so smooth
Same thing I use for everything, just mounted on my pack.
Not to sound silly, but is TWE a complete downhill from Burro Pass to Porcupine Rim? ... or are there some climbs in there somewhere?
Awesome riding, wow!
Great video as always, and insane riding. Someone else commented on why the colors seem so muted on your videos lately. It's almost an apocalyptic look to them. Did you change a setting, or maybe have something wrong with your GoPro?
Nothing different on my end, it's just cloudy....

Such a bummer. It looks like the camera is correcting for light but its definitely not the camera.... iMovie is free, so I guess I can't really complain, but this is really bumming me out...
2 gimbals or 1 that was swapped halfway through?
Just swapped. Running the same rig, front or back.
as the mayor I am implementing nate-neutrality.
What was your time on this from top to bottom?
Not sure Greg.
F ing fast!
At 7:40 I took the left line... I never had my fork bottom out so violently so many times in a row. Being a hack and choosing the wrong line...
Nate, do you race in ews?
On occasion.
will you take part to european stages?
Probably just Whistler this year.
I can literally see the arm pump
Beatdown of trail. Tired just watching it.
Waouhhh crazy rider
what's the big KS riding these days?
KS rides for Santa Cruz.
What's the name of the trail?
Meanwhile I'm biking in the snow...
Nate what is the best time of year to ride this?
Mitch Warren htuk really depends on how much of it you want to ride, and how much snow it gets on top... If you want to ride "The WHOLE enchilada", Burro is usually open by mid June, and snows in by Halloween usually.
Joshua Lloyd cheers for that info . I will be riding all of it , September sounds like the weather will be favourable.
September should work well. I have only seen snow up there that early a few times.
Cheers Nate I'm really looking forward to riding that journey!
Cheers Nate I'm really looking forward to riding that journey!
Followmecamfriday is good too!

Over there without Kyle? Why????
Kyle is injured unfortunately. He will be back in no time...
Nate Hills nooooo....!! Incident on his bike?
