Hi guys,

I made this quick edit showcasing the main features on this trail. Please provide feedback regarding my riding, the trail, and details about the video.

Enjoy

Permit for Upper Crippler is held by Andy so the props for the fresh bridge needs to go to Andy (and his team of trail fairies) and not the NSMBA for this one.

Great to see this classic in your video series. Keep em coming.

entertaining!

The stunt at :50 is hit and miss, more miss if traction isn't ideal…

Thanks for the feedback. Hit and miss, you're right. Lately it's been a love hate relationship with skinnies and A-frames. I just couldn't get my mind to commit on that feature on that day. But, I'm happy I showed that miss just to give an idea of the highs and lows that occur while riding.

That was quite awesome. Non-pro rider and a real ride like most people actually ride the shore and with real 'Cajones shrivelling shots' like happens to everyone on Fromme! May be most entertaining edit I have seen in 2016. Nice work!

Upper Crippler definitely has some sections that can kick your ass. It always makes for a good run, though. Nice work on the video.

Oops, honest mistake. Thanks for pointing that out, I will do a bit more research next time.

On that note, Thanks a lot Andy! On behalf of all riders that ride Crippler, your hard work and attention to detail is very much appreciated and doesn't go without notice!
