Nothing sums up my life's achievements like my stuffed corpse, suplexing a cougar.

Those guys are some hard charging, hard partying Canucks!! Great film…

I love the trails they've built. It's cool they've used biking as a way to stay close despite one being a 'hippy' and the other being a 'redneck'. ;)

Cheers,

I have rode with both these guys time and time again. Both are great guys on and off the bike. Good story and a good lil film. Makes me think of my bro and I. In ways we were the same way as Rick [HTML_REMOVED] Chris as we both rode and built trails. Now he is married and hasnt rode in yrs. lol

Mods: is this video on the same server as the BB? Something is killing the BB server today. I've never seen it this slow.

Yep. We're working on a solution so this doesn't happen again. But we also like to post high quality files so it's a trade off.

Great work Syd!

Really refreshing edit and content. Keep it up. If your first short film is this good I'm sure you have a bright future.

I feel a roadtrip to Gold River is in order. I've heard how great the trails since 04. It has been years since I have been up to Gold River but I do remember the wicked drive.
