Just want to pop in and say that LMNT saved my bacon recently. I was packrafting in Moab, and we broke down our rafts and hiked to the top of the Canyonlands mesa (12 miles and 2100 ft) in a day. We finished at the top dehydrated and hurting. LMNT is usually way too salty to drink most days for me, which means a whole box was waiting in the car for us. It tasted like Mana from Heaven. When you really need that salt, your body knows it. That stuff is great to have around, even if it seems too salty trying it in your kitchen.
Watching your videos is like watching my inner spirit from when I was a teenager, stoked to go riding every day after school. Now that I have a job, kids and a mortgage that inner spirit still lives within me.
Just built a cabin 5 minutes from this lift if you guys ever need a place to crash. It's really cool to see you shred the local park. Cheers and love your videos as always!
Sampler you are such an awesome dude, I love how you immediately stopped to check on the downed rider and stayed until the peeps he was with showed up.
You are doing better and better all the time. Stay out of your head and follow your heart. Awesome, Alex, and you are a benevolent young man with others around you! Blessings, and God loves you, too! Thanks for your videos! Fun riding with you since I can't. I ride a motorcycle!
Duuuuuude Alex, you getting it 🤘🏽 got the pleasure of riding and hanging out with bcpov and yuka while they were up here in Alaska, such awesome people 🤙🏽
Can you consider in the near future making an episode with the lone aspen wilderness on a single track that is not too commercial? There were some single tracks episodes way back when you had Sheila that I recently rewatched , which makes me want to watch more of your OG adventures from back in 2017-2018 :)
Great video, you should totally hit Jarrod's Place some time. Awesome range of trails from flow to steep tech. Great place for jump progression especially imo.
Lived in HIckory NC for 10 years. Boarded tons on ice at Beech and Sugar in Banner Elk and never thought to ride in the summer. Bummed out now. Living in Fargo ND now with nothing but flats :(
Got to ride here last year. Was a fun trip. If you make it out to NOVA or Maryland area we have some "secret" trails out here that make beech look tame
Love your videos! If you're back down in Florida for the winter any chance of meeting up for a ride or some sort of group ride? I usually hit Alafia, Balm, or Carter Road, would love to have you tow me into some features
You don’t have to know the trails exactly, and there is no way to memorize everything anyway. You just have to look farther down the trail and go with the flow.
Parks tend to stay the same but open new trails or it may get smoother if they resurface but other than that you can definitely memorize bike park trails for the most part. Some roots might be more ate out some days and sometimes they might have been packed in by dirt moving in rain but its still going ti be in the same spot. Its just rough vs smooth that you can never guess about until you ride.
MORE YUKA AND ERIC!!!! I don’t care if it’s not their channels. This makes my weekend.
This makes your weekend???
Till we meet again!

Three of my favorite RUclipsrs in a single video. That's what I'm talking about!

Of course!! We gotta look out for eachother out there 👊
Good to hear about the confidence as long as wisdom is also involved too.

California needs more bike parks like these!
100%
Everywhere needs them, even in Colorado I wish there were some closer to the Springs. I love Trestle but it's a bit of a ride.
at 11:35 I thought for a second, "hold on, who is that child?" :D then I realized it was Yuka :D she is so smol
So stoked your finally riding back the way you used to on that train. You've arrived !
Your videos are so much fun to watch. Love - always have - your enthusiasm and laughter!
Hey from Scotland
I watch both of your channels and van Girl Yukas big crash made me hurt for her.
Three good people keep it up 💜
Duuuuuude Alex, you getting it 🤘🏽 got the pleasure of riding and hanging out with bcpov and yuka while they were up here in Alaska, such awesome people 🤙🏽
I liked the OG title man, glad you are feeling as good as you are looking on the bike!
Yeah, bro! Cane Brake is the best when dry or damp. But scary when wet.
Dude. Your videos are extremely diggable. Let's rock!
Shredding! Thanks for posting!
Great collaboration w Eric and Yuka. You guys rock
I can just hear your mother after the last clip. "Alex you didn't bleep it!" 😂😂
Dude! I think this is the best video from Beech I've ever seen 🔥
Woohoo 🤟🤠🤟 Careful, considered and crazy! Gotta stick to your battle plan cos we know they don't take no prisoners out Zion way
Happy that you’re getting back to it buddy
A HANS device for mountain bike helmets!! Cool!! Yuka almost broke her neck and back.
Beech is a good time. The lift is a little slow but there are so many fun little side hits and alt lines on the trails, it makes it worth the trip!
We were actually riding there that day! We saw you guys at the bottom and my friend yelled at you when you did that drop! It was awesome to meet you!
Great episode wish we had a bike park with up lift here in Western Australia, Cheers Mate
You guys were shredding!!
22:02 TREE!!!
I'm at work, and couldn't help but yell out loud. Everyone was wondering why I was yelling about trees.
Was just up there Saturday. Wish I had seen this video first! You made those drops I was scared of look easy! Oh well, I'll tackle them next year...

22:02 - OMG....GEEEZUS

Super fun video 🤟🏻
great video! yes their chair lift is horribly slow!
When you said “you have good brakes” at Eric and then I saw what brakes he actually running. Man it’s not just good, it’s super expensive 😂
I have the same chest plate as you, didn't wear it for like 3 mths after I got. Now I feel naked without it!
Beech was my favorite place to race DH
fun fun dbl bulk run
looking like a mass race in riders republic
I swear every time I go to the bikepark I take my first run and think I dont think I can do this today. And by my 3rd run I'm fine
Eric and Yuka didn't have their own bike? :)
Was this at beech mountain
Love riding park. Can get a month of progression in one day. Just cant overdo it or it will definitely punish you.
