In 2006 on a trip to Tahoe, my friend and I took a day trip up to Downieville about a week before the race. Our shuttle to the top consisted of the 2 of us and some other guy, unbeknownst to us at the time, it was Mark Weir. When we arrive at the top and unload, we are suiting up and we look up and here goes this guy riding a manual outta the parking lot and onto the the trail. We look at the driver and he says, that guy has won the Downieville Downhill the past 3 years. Started watching everything about him after that.
Steve. You were in my backyard. Did you get in The Flume Trail or Mr. Toads Wild Ride at Lake Tahoe while traversing from Downieville to Death Valley? More epic rides!
Oh man! Love seeing you guys in my neck of the woods. You drove right by BKXC's property 'Everstoke' on your trip out here. He and Aaron from MTBing Adventures bought 91 Acres near Graegle. That area is only going to get better in the coming years!
Problem is the US Forest Service considers ebikes motorized vehicles and has banned them from many trails. But as you found, there are a lot of opportunities for those adventurous enough to go out and try.
Love this! All in my backyard. So many great places in Northern California. It's not all concrete out here. We have rough ROUGH country! Love this video!!
I'll second that what a place to ride, imagine ; after every day out on world class trails, to then sit around around a big log fire & have grill & beers & tails & laughs ; magic ✨❤️👍👌🚵🍻🥓🍖🍗🥩🌭🍕 ; Mike weir legend !!! 👍👌🌟
Why don't you have a hulu or something listing? This is top notch stuff. Edit: Do you do your own editing and whatnot? This is so much more well thought out and presented than some of the greatest stuff I've watched since YT started.
Love the area one of my favorites fyi elevation of Downieville is about 3,000'(914 meter) Grayeagle is 4,200' (1,280 m) cheers from Northern California
I'm going built my first electric mountain bike with BBSO2 mid-drive and I can't wait to hit the trails because I see you guys having so much fun and I want a peace of that my friend 👍🏾
Wot can I say I'm jealous I've said it before you are living the dream in one way but thst looks like a very challenging trail what takes skill determination and stamina but being with somany good people must have helped plus the food looked great respect PS, I'm glad you didn't take Ray 🤣🙏
If you need a free drone pilot hit me up! I can show you shots I made with my own dji mavic pro and my leaderfox ayra this summer I am upgrading my drone big time so much better quality.

Best riding in the world with the best hosts. You are one lucky guy Steve.
Would love to see more videos like this one from other parts of the world. Steve you could do some kind of world trails series 😉
That would be great. This video was brilliant to see what goes on after the cameras are turned off! 👍
Best vid you guys have ever produced. I didn't think I'd be interested, but I was wrong. I friggin loved it. Thanks for the fun.
Wow Steve how nice over there! Thanks for this video! Superb!

Last statement " if it wasn't for all you guys.. It would have been a hell of a lot more fun!
Had me rolling.
13:20 Love the ape hanger handlebars. Seriously, that can be comfortable, less pressure on the wrists.

Incredible! You just keep getting better!! Wish I knew you were here, John from Sacramento!

Quick question butty boy. Why are you using high handlebars?

This dude had to pass by my neck of the woods to get to Gold Country
That's only 1/2 deuce mine has 10 .
Did you get robbed while there? Or did you not go downtown?
