To end the day today, we have some great video of mountain biker Mike Hopkins flying down a nice looking singletrack trail. This looks like a wonderful place to go for a ride on my new mountain bike, although Iโd probably be going a bit slower. By the way, I officially broke in the new bike on my last ride, crashing hard, and breaking off a front reflector. Since it wasnโt really need anyway, I just figure that I lightened up the bike some! ๐
Thanks to the Wend Blog and PinkBike for the video!

I'm not sure I'd take the Fuel down that trail; It looks wild! I wouldn't take my bike either since it's meant for XC. The video makes me want a downhill bike though.
I didn't think the Fuel came with reflectors.. did you put one on there?
Came pre-installed when I picked it up from the store. But who needs 'em anyway! ๐
And I agree, looks like a blast on a downhill bike.
That is some superb filming too. Lovely scenes โ I don't know how they got some of the ones almost going at the same speed as the rider!!
