It's literally impossible to process.

Back when I was a kid, when we did all that spinning and flipping around, they called it "crashing".  And all you got for it was a plaster trophy.

It was hard to do tricks with that 6 ft tall wheel up front and little wheel out back wasn't it?

tail whips were easy peasy

That Fat bike clip is nuts. 

Anyone have any suggestions for must do mtn bike trails around the country? The GF and I will be traveling around in June with the bikes and could use some suggestions.

In OR, the McKenzie River Trail is a must --23-27 miles of epic singletrack and scenery. Nice campgrounds in that area.  Bend and Oakridge both have a lot of great rides and aren't too far. June might be a bit early, though...

Waldo Lake (one of the purest lakes in the world) is another awesome ride in the same vicinity. 20'ish miles of singletrack circling the lake with nearby campgrounds.

Crater Lake is in the vicinity and as worth a look. You can ride around the lake, but it's two-lane pavement, not trail.

Really a great area to recreate.

Sorry I meant July. June is early? Snow melt still making the trails muddy that late or something else?

It does look awfully purty though....

We might be rolling through AL, thanks for the tip!

I watch Danny doing his thing, and I often just can't reconcile it with reality.

Sometimes I can accept it as phenomenal talent, but the rolling backwards while balanced just on the front wheel, that just tears it.

I can watch Marquez saving it when the front folds, using his elbow and shoulder and whatever else, and it makes sense, it's ridiculous but believable.

Danny seems to violate fundamental laws of physics while expending effort roughly equivalent to that of tying shoelaces.

Here's a good write up about Danny from back in 13.
