Portal Trail in Moab is quite insane. The exposure is something else. You should be confident in your abilities before adventuring there. Buy Propain Bikes here and support the channel: bit.ly/3JxpkuN

I appreciate that as a pro you walked the death section. Setting a good example for the rest of us.

@thomassanio8745 11 месяцев назад

Yeah Remy is perhaps one of the most skilled and intelligent out there and he didn’t like the feeling it gave him. Smart man, live to ride another day!👍

@MrHawkis 11 месяцев назад

I really think that part of "rider intelligence" is knowing when to back away from doing a feature and placing personal safety above any sort of achievement.@@john_casey

@aidankelley9399 11 месяцев назад

@@john_casey in his defense, he is a world-class mountain biker. if this trail was not on the edge of a cliff, it would be a piece of cake. I believe the trail is easy for him, but there is always the risk of the cliff. Its like someone walking 2 feet from a cliff. they are perfectly good and capable of walking, but the cliff just makes it risky.

@MachuDidgeridoo 11 месяцев назад

I have a buddy who's ridden that entire section, which Ive walked twice. He's an epic rider and local mtb guide... but still, I would NEVER! I don't even want to watch anyone do it.

@notice_fpv 11 месяцев назад

I'm almost 1000 miles from where you are, in the safety of my home in Colorado, sitting at my kitchen table, eating breakfast in my pajamas, feet firmly planted on the ground... AND I'M LEANING TO MY RIGHT as I watch this.

@Denco83 10 месяцев назад

In the early days of the Canyonlands Fat Tire Fest Rim Cyclery was the center of the Moab mountain biking universe. Someone had recently fallen off the Portal and Rim had their smashed GT LTS hanging out front to warn us (before the signs) about the risk on Portal Trail. The exposure hasn't changed but the trail is much harder now than it was 30+ years ago. Dirt erodes and rocks move. Thankfully trail crews have armored and stepped sections that were troughs in the past. This is the finest POV video I've seen of Portal. Chapeau Rémy.

@devrincs 4 месяца назад

I still have my Rim visor hat from 1992. I don’t recall the GT LTS, but Portal still loomed large in everyone’s minds, esp as we had just started riding Rock Shox Mag 21. Glad to see Portal still rocking!

@_drawkward_ 11 месяцев назад

Remi saying "I feel like I'm skilled" is along the same lines as Kevin Durant saying "I think I'm pretty good at basketball". I think I would have to walk Portal, and even then it's sketchy. I walked the white line trail in Sedona and that was enough for me. Portal is certifiable.

@theydisintegrate 11 месяцев назад

There is beauty in movement. I love watching you guys maneuver the bikes through the technical sections. It's impressive and inspiring! I wish I could ride bikes every day.

The rock after the sign has a suprisingly high number of pedal strike and chainring marks on it, crazy.

@erickoontz7615 11 месяцев назад

Pretty sure the 200 ft reference on the sign was how far you should walk your bike down the trail for safety. Not the cliff height. That trail is crazy and even scarier in person!

@JeremyLawrence-imajez 11 месяцев назад

Usually when I watch Remy's videos, I think, no way could I ride like that. This time I was thinking, that trail looks far more my cup of tea. However this was the first video of Remy's where I held on to my chair whilst watching him ride. That cliff edge and long drop to certain death if you flubbed a section twisted my insides. Kudos to you guys for being sensible and walking a section, despite your incredibly skill levels. As always, setting a good example.

@MrDmadness 11 месяцев назад

A perfect example of a not super gnar trail ( more tech ) that becomes SO GNAR because if its exposure consequences. The mental game is real, ive seen remy ride stuff more dangerous by the same exact margins the difference being its got a fall away or your body shredded on rocks, exact same outcome if you miss your line, just not quite as in your face as this, ideal the relief when there's boulders down slope of you in those initial pockets, like the mountains cradling you before the !!!!!!!! Great video as always Remy

Prompts to you!! Loved the introduction 😊 👍💪 when i was there i thought about trying to ride that trail, i was with my girfriend and sadly she is a beginner so i decided to stay away from it not only for her sake but for mine as well, riding that alone is now without a doubt not a smart idea!

Portal is a great trail! I've only walked the exposure portion and even that made me nervous. I find it even difficult to watch this video. The downhill after the the famous rim is a downhill chunk-fest! That is a difficult part of Portal, but very fun and very rideable!
