    Alright guys, sorry about the brief hiatus, but we are back on track this week with videos!!
    I'm stoked as hell about this last weekend, so much so that I wanted to get these videos made and out before the ones that I was already working on for this week :D
    We had a fantastic patron weekend down here in FL, and I'd like to thank everyone that made it out for one or both days to ride and hang. A MASSIVE Thanks has to be given to both Ken and Joe who really were the reason this weekend happened as they reserved a campsite and invited me out a while back. Little did they know that would turn into a whole crew sleeping over!!
    Anyway, I hope everyone is getting off on the right foot this week, and if not, well, I got you covered with a little slice of fun singletrack here. So sit back, relax, and try not to get caught by your boss while watching this at work :P
    LFRHGS!!!

    Looks fun! Usually a trail side tightening of the bolts will take care of the squeak until you can get home and clean them up.

    Great video. Ridge line is one of my favorite trails in the area. If you can get down to Ft. Lauderdale you have to ride Markham Park. So much fun. Seth can tell you all about it.

    Dude, you are my kind of people. I’m not a patron yet, but if you ever come to Utah again it would be fun to catch a ride. I’m a totally noob though. Haha! Maybe I’ll be better by the time you get back out West.

    Love those videos 'cause trails are very very similar to the one I usually ride, since I live in the flattest land of Italy the "backyard trails" are along the main river of the area, in which the builders try to get the most from the very few uphill parts there are :D

    Hey, Alex! It's been a while, man! Started getting worried for ya! Haha!
    I'm going to be paying super close attention to these Florida videos. It's looking very much like I'll be moving out to Orlando in the next month or two. Speaking of which, if you're in the Orlando area in April, let me know. Meeting up with you would be a super rad way of starting my life in Florida.
    5:38 - Whoa! OMGOSH, did you catch her off guard. Haha!
    6:20 - You mention how fast you can lose your fitness here, and I totally feel your pain. I'm finally able to start getting back on the trail after two months recovering from a broken clavicle, and it's hard. I'm trying to get back on the bike at least four times a week, but it's hard.
    9:15 - THIS is what I will be worrying about the most when I get to Florida. I can't help but think one of those things is going to eat me.
    13:08 - Dude! I need to camp with you guys. That food looks epic!
    Alex, this is one of the most helpful videos I have seen to date. I find it so because you're showing me places I'll be able to ride when I get out there. I was afraid I'd be leaving behind some great stuff to ride when I move from Arizona. But it appears the Florida has a few options to offer up, as well. I think I'll get the opportunity to ride stuff I don't have here in Sierra Vista. So thank you for sharing these, and I am definitely looking forward to your video about Alafaya. That looks like it's going to be real close to my new home.
    Stay upright and keep the rubber side down!
