South Mountain, National Trail Video
I shot this footage on National Trail, South Mountain, Phoenix. Nothing too spectacular, just a little XC riding down the waterfall and steps, two technical spots that South Mountain is famous for.
The highlight of the day was waiting for a group of senior citizens to walk up the waterfall, they asked me if I was going to ride down that…I said, sure am. Some said they just couldn’t stand to watch…the rest gathered around and became spectators. When I successfully made it down they all cheered for me. Nothing like putting on a show for a bunch of old people (who were mighty fit I might add).
Riding my 2006 Trek Fuel EX 9. One sturdy steed. Riding music, Comfort Eagle, provided by CAKE.
National isn’t ordinary trail riding, it’s one of the hardest trails to bike in the state. . . Just saying
