This one hurt to make, but I'm really stoked to share it! Sometimes I need to remind myself that not everything I do online has to be a massive success, and that it's cool to share that stuff too! After all, the sour makes the sweet all that much better :P This one took a while to create, hence the XXL video at 17 minutes long. Thank you all for being so patient between vids - I hope you all enjoy it! p.s. Check out Kevin's channel here for more shreddy vids! ruclips.net/channel/UC4bKHbrzUtRGHnmFfYRaOXA
Progression isn’t always landing and coming out the way you thought it would. Progression is what you learned from the experience for sure. I road a 10 miles trail yesterday. Till this point I’d only ridden four or five miles. It’s was the hardest most technical trail I’ve done yet. But I finished and am hurting all over. But never have I been so proud and felt so accomplished. You Seth, BoBo and Kev have all inspired me so much to push myself.
Kevin seems like a such different person when he is at Seth's place, he goes from a wild man on Bobo's videos to very mellow on Alex and or Seth's. Btw, Very entertaining video you got here Alex.
I think it’s the difference between a PG channel and a rated R channel. I think They’re all more like portrayed in Bobo’s videos but clean it up with editing to keep the videos suitable for sponsors. 🤷🏼♂️
When I was into BMX dirt jumping, the best thing I ever learned was how to properly get away from the bike in the air. Take a few sessions and learn to push the bike away from you and do it in various positions that would cause a fall. It will build confidence just knowing you can and will have safer crashes.
The music montage is nearly insane dudee. The fade when clip is gonna finish, that narrating, your choice of music... List goes on. Keep up the good work dude. You got insane videos.
I’m not mad that you upload like every 2 weeks. Reason being is that you put so much time into your videos. They are top notch quality. Keep up the great work. Don’t worry about uploading more. It’s perfect the way it is 👍🏽🥳
3:47 that’s metal clad cable AKA “MC.” It comes with electrical wires inside and is a quick alternative to mounting conduit and fishing wires. The scraps tend to be about a foot long because when you pull it, you typically want 6”-12” of slack on the internal wires to make it easier to connect components, and allow for future repairs.
HUUUUGE respect to showing your fails. Almost everyone with an MTB channel really only shows the gnar. It’s unrealistic! I love the channels on RUclips that show us their human side.
The reason why you are great Alex is because you share your successes and failures, and people can really relate to you 🤘🏼😁. It started getting in your head a little, but you will totally crush it next time!
at one point you had me saying out loud "you can do it !!", at the end there, all i can say is i feel you, im the same, and im trying to learn that your ambition needs to respect how tired your body is, just cuz you know you can do it, doesnt mean your body can, so you have to watch for the moment when fatigue really sets in, then just keep it safe, rest up.
Loving Alex, always okay with showing his true self with insecurities and all. I really appreciate that, showing others is okay to feel insecure and take precautions before committing. Thank you Alex!
That cable shield at 3:49 if anyone was wondering is From BX cable. You need to cut back some before hooking up to a box to expose the wires! BX is mostly used on commercial/ industrial because it has better strength. Rubber down everyone!
This is one of the best SS vids from Alex I have ever seen! Not only was the production playful, but Alex's persistence on day 2 was inspiring. I have definitely pushed so hard before that I lose a few good days of training to nursing soreness or injuries. We all get caught up in the moment when we're stoked on something.
am i a mountain biker? no. do i live near mountains? no. do i ever plan on mountain biking? not really. am i somehow still keenly interested in this channel that randomly showed up in my recommended? absolutely. also... his hair is *beautiful*.
I CANNOT believe that you've come this far Alex. I've been watching you since the beginning, and have enjoyed every second of your journey. Live Free, Ride Hard, And Get Stoked!!!
Alex, it took me 35 years to learn tables!! I literally just learned them a few months ago and it took going to a foam pit and forcing myself to do them. I learned 360s, tailwhips, pretty much all the other cool tricks YEARS before but tables just eluded me. I still can't click them super flat but I can greases them up with humble style :)
I think what we all need is for Singletrack Sampler and Skills with Phil to Collab and cause as much confusion in the comment section as possible. Ive gotten them mixed up so many times that i now check what channel im watching everytime i see a guy with long hair and a beard on screen.
Man, have to make bike cushions, maybe clip on pool noodle style (call them Ramen Pads or something.) You can put them on the bars, fork, pedal ends and frame to help lessen the chance if injury from the hard bike itself. A blow from a bar end or a pedal is still inevitable, but it might be a fun experiment if you decide to hit the bag again! Always stoked to watch a video from you guys 👊😁
Alex is so dang Inspiring. I've only been on his channel for about two days and now I just wanna go outside and do something. This guy literally got me from a stay in my room all day kinda person to somebody who wants to explore nature trails and stuff. Thanks Alex!
You SENT it dude! I'm still recovering from my first taste of singletrack and videos like this keep me motivated to get back out there as soon as I can. Love your videos
HaHa I had a good laugh when you said “it’s hot out, it’s like 90 degrees out.” 😂 I’m from Arizona and I wish we had 90 degree summer days. I think yesterday’s temperature was 117.😂 Anyway keep up the great work, I love what your doing with the channel!
Although I’ll give it to ya, 117 is quite hot. But I’m from GA and I know what Seth and Alex mean when they say 90 is hot. It’s fairly hot but extremely humid, like hard to breath it’s so muggy out. Anyway, I’d love to be able to get out to Arizona sometime! Cheers!
Marque Markofthebeast Honestly I’m new to mtb as well. I know that there’s some pretty sick trails up north around Sedona and flagstaff, if ur willing to drive up there. But for trails closer to me and you, I’ve heard there’s some decent trails around gold canyon and the Superstition mountains. Once it cools down a bit I’m planning to do some more riding and exploring.
Bro, great video, don't ever feel like you need to present only your best moments to us. As a newer rider it feels great watching this video knowing that you hit the same mental blocks I do when presented with new challenges. It makes you feel more human to me when I watch it and its very appreciated, so thanks!
Alex i started the day watching your video, the day to day didnt let me finish it until the afternoon, the whole day i knew you were gonna make it and you did, i got really stoked by the end of the video at the end of my day, thanks for sharing your experience!!!
Alex's video production is going way up now that he's hanging around Seth so much. I love it. The voice over, faster cuts, better story telling. Keep it up!
I love how seth is able to regocnize how good you actually are and builds your Confidence without pushing you over your limits. Thats how a more expierenced riding partner should be and i'm extremly grateful that my riding partner is just lile that
THIS is the content we want Alex! Sitting on my couch and watching this made my heart thump just like it does when I myself stand in front of a scary feature. It’s not exhilarating watching Red Bull pros succeed every trick and feature they pursue - it IS when someone uses great video skills and creativity to send you straight into that shaky nervous feeling of make-or-brake that we all crave in mountain biking, as if we’re on the bike ourselves. I love videos like yours, Paul the Punter and Seth because seeing someone else hesitate and fail and try again and again and again is more relatable, vivid and engaging for me as a viewer! Thank you, keep it up! 🤘🏼
Dude, thank you so much for making this video. It is a killer video on its own but the message is what makes it truly over the moon. It’s incredible to see such an amazing mountain biker as yourself still get scared and still take some nasty falls. It’s so important for all the new folks out there to see!!!! HUGE THANK YOU.
I'm weirdly glad you guys have been locked down together! All your collective vids have been brilliant & the work you've all achieved on Berm Peak is incredible.
We can't learn without failing. Every time you fail, you've learned another thing that doesn't work. And that's why I love videos like these. Watching people who are really skilled struggle but persevere shows the rest of us that it IS doable.
Great video! Never stop sharing your fails, dude. When you only see someone's successes or best moments, like is often the case on social media, it takes away some of the most interesting human factor. Seeing people fail, especially those we look up to in terms of skill, reminds us we're all human and we don't have to feel bad when we don't succeed at something as fast as we'd like to.
Dude. I love that you posted this video. It's awesome to see a realistic view of how hard it is to learn a new trick. Failure and learning can be the same thing. It's all about perspective. Keep up the good work.
Can confirm... the airbag will bring the pain! Haha solid effort though, and major props for even hitting it, it’s kinda crazy flying out of the woods into that bag!!!
I love the last slow motion jump you did on the airbag. Hope your feeling better by now. I’m glad to see you were able to get over your fear on the tracks. Keep up the good work with your videos. Would LOVE to ride with you one day.
That’s why I love this sport. It’s a battle to make yourself better. Every new thing we learn becomes a part of us in this sport. Great video Alex, thank you for sharing!
Great that you post these video. It's valuable to so many (me included) to see you battling with the mental side and succeed, especially for us who have the same struggles. So many youtube videos out there of super confident can do anything guys, that you think it's a different breed, But you can do it and represent the middle ground, greying the distinction.
Always make the video Alex. You're bad days are better than some our good days. It's more inspiring to see good riders work for things than just seeing them always nail it the first time!
Amazing to see the mental block in a rider that's got a lot of experience. I felt for your body and mind because I imagine editing that footage would of been brutal! Your community is gonna love whatever you put out because we all know you're a legend. Even if you were dissapointed in yourself, watching you lock up in the air like a salmon will get you just as much, if not more exposure than you sailing through the air in style :)
Alex bro....that first crash man! ....the way your full-face hit the deck, I'm just glad you landed on the airbag and not the ground...awesome video content as always and I'm glad you decided to go through with making the video!
Hi Alex. I just want to say, you and Seth have inspired me to buy a real Mountain Bike and start riding. I've only rode for recreation and now plan to try to get out there and shred some. We don't have many quality trails where I live since my State is pretty flat, but I am determined to ride after being so inspired. Thank you so much!
Great video, really enjoy seeing the human side. There was a point where you were making videos that were at my level of progression but where skills are involved you have left me far behind! I find it inspiring keep them coming!
Best in the biz Alex!!! Love, love, love your content. Your honest look into the ups and downs that come with a hobby like this motivate me to get out on the trail.
Man, I know you put a lot of pressure on yourself to always trend upwards with your riding and content but please know that your channel has grown the way it has because people enjoy you and your adventures. Whether you "succeed" or "fail" is not important to 99% of your audience - keep sharing and stay safe.
Brilliant upload dude! First time (anywhere!) downhill send, to vertical takeoff with blind airbag landing = ✔️! A full roost guard (e.g. Fox Raptor - full spine, chest, ribs, and collar bone protection) or at the very least a POC spine vest, is almost a must have accessory! Armor up to ride down! Keep doing what you do!
Man I always love your attitude towards riding (even if you end up a bit more bruised in the short term lol). You always push that extra bit and that's admirable. Glad you made the vid

Failure is not a lack of success, failure is not trying...(again and again and again because we learn nothing from success)
You learn how to do things From succes
we learn that after all that pain of failing over and over and over again that we can actually do it from success after failure.
Except you learn what works with success lol
@@synthetixproductions5033 I would argue that success shows you learnt from your failures.
True
HUUUUGE respect to showing your fails. Almost everyone with an MTB channel really only shows the gnar. It’s unrealistic! I love the channels on RUclips that show us their human side.

Alex, it took me 35 years to learn tables!! I literally just learned them a few months ago and it took going to a foam pit and forcing myself to do them.

Wait, you actually get them mixed up that often? (not sarcasm)
I just got my bike for Christmas and am already ready to jump into this world. Everyone riding seems so chill and nice. The vibe is right on my wave.
0:05 Instagram picture. Hell I could've never guessed that 😂
Man, have to make bike cushions, maybe clip on pool noodle style (call them Ramen Pads or something.) You can put them on the bars, fork, pedal ends and frame to help lessen the chance if injury from the hard bike itself.

You didn’t fail at all. You were brave and inspiring. Good on you dude. Peace and love from England. X
You can literally see him in mid air, heading just fine for the landing, losing all confidence, and causing himself to try and bail and crash
With Alex, it's always a mental game.

Hi Alex. I just want to say, you and Seth have inspired me to buy a real Mountain Bike and start riding. I've only rode for recreation and now plan to try to get out there and shred some. We don't have many quality trails where I live since my State is pretty flat, but I am determined to ride after being so inspired. Thank you so much!
Awesome video man! Probably in the top 3 yet! I'm so glad you made it and were willing to post it!
Great video, really enjoy seeing the human side. There was a point where you were making videos that were at my level of progression but where skills are involved you have left me far behind!
I find it inspiring keep them coming!
Best in the biz Alex!!! Love, love, love your content. Your honest look into the ups and downs that come with a hobby like this motivate me to get out on the trail.
Man, I know you put a lot of pressure on yourself to always trend upwards with your riding and content but please know that your channel has grown the way it has because people enjoy you and your adventures. Whether you "succeed" or "fail" is not important to 99% of your audience - keep sharing and stay safe.
The cinematography, writing, and narration on your videos is absolutely amazing, Alex!!! top notch work!! keep it up.
Brilliant upload dude! First time (anywhere!) downhill send, to vertical takeoff with blind airbag landing = ✔️! A full roost guard (e.g. Fox Raptor - full spine, chest, ribs, and collar bone protection) or at the very least a POC spine vest, is almost a must have accessory! Armor up to ride down! Keep doing what you do!
Man I always love your attitude towards riding (even if you end up a bit more bruised in the short term lol). You always push that extra bit and that's admirable. Glad you made the vid
