This video was actually shot as part of a promotional series for the G9300 MUDMAN Compass. Luckily for us, the promotion is kept at a minimum and 95% of the video is about mountain biking with Cam Zink and Kyle Strait (also known for my favorite 661 Kyle Strait Knee Pads).
Outside of the huge drops these guys are pulling off in Utah, I think my favorite part of the entire video is when Kyle narrates “definitely one of the coolest parts about mountain biking is just being out there and it is just you and the bike”. He talks about how riding is “gravity fed” with no motors…just you grunting up the hill for the next shot at having gravity help you down. When I am out riding…that is really how it feels. Man power with machine conquering the hill. How fast or slow I am that day is completely dependent upon me as me and my rig of choice for that day seek out to do the impossible.
I founded Bike198 back in 2008 and started riding bikes seriously in 1994. A lot has changed since that time and one of the greatest releases is still getting out on the bike and shredding trail or tearing up the road.
