    I'm watching this in 2020. Incredible what difference 3 years can make in terms of riding AND film production. Seth's come a long way.

    @JohnWesleyAustin 7 лет назад

    I think this is awesome. One more experience to add to your street cred! I love that you have the balls to share that you were a little scared or concerned with the risk. It shows you are human. You could've easily edited out falling but you didn't, which shows you ain't perfect. You showed mad skills at a place you've never been. With all that, as cool as it is, it boggles the mind why there are 28 people who have the nerve to dislike this vid.

    The lift is the best thing that ever happened for mountain biking

    • @martynasali

      Lift steals half of the mountain, should be called half mountain biking.

    • @ryanm2818
      @ryanm2818 7 лет назад +6

      Martynas Alijosius Yes but the bottom part of a mountain won't have as good trails as the upper, and whistler has a setup where you go top to bottom. This isn't trail riding, it's downhill.

    • @CanIHasThisName
      @CanIHasThisName 7 лет назад +7

      Wrong. Purpose built downhill hardtails with double and triple crown forks and all that fun stuff do exist. And there are even some private DH and enduro races for hardtails only.

  • @jackcassandra65
    @jackcassandra65 6 лет назад

    Seth, I saw this one some months back and failed to comment on it when I should have. As far as your riding it is definitely one of your best! The sheer content of Whistler Bike Park and the "True DH Experience" really did it for you. That was what I was trying to get across to you when I mentioned that you stop by Trestle Bike Park in WInterpark, CO. It is also a super fun DH type experience with the trams to take you to the top! It was so cool to see you in the realization phase of your first real DH ride when you were saying how much super fun that you were having, that level of DH riding is really over the top fun, and when you get to where you can really go for it it really gets awesome. So, keep goin for it dude and get you a real DH bike too. It's will make a world of difference when it comes to being able to really send it on those serious DH trails!!

    Seth, I switched from the standard grips, to the bontrager ergo groups with the flared out ends. I used to get hand pain, but no more. Plus they help with standing climbing because there is more surface area for your palm. Try them, you will never go back. Love the channel been with you from the start. I'm so happy for you and your success! Great job,Ronald Tartaglia

    Really enjoyed watching your live feed with Alex from last night. Anyone who doesn't do the Patreon thing is missing out.

    i think it's great that you left you bag and camera behind so you could just enjoy the ride without having to worry about getting the shots for us. great video!!!

    Had my first run at whistler just a week ago as well. Was an absolute blast. Popular trails like A-Line are a little dug out with the braking divots but there's no place else like it!
