Thanks - I am siked someone enjoys watching them as much as me! Will keep updating - like PAWoods said - trails are slowing down right now but lots of edits are popping up.
And yeah, modern day trails (aka dirt jumps) are on a whole other level than years ago. I like how in Robbo's edit, there isn't anything that looks crazy big but there isn't one straight lip/landing and having berms thrown in all over.

Yeah, the VT word to describe good trail is "Misty" which after you ride their stuff makes total sense. And they don't even call it singletrack - it's sniggle. I really wish I could get up there more often 🙁
don that 26" segment was sick. how the F does one ride like that?

yeah, I don't know. Some guys are just so natural. I ride with some good riders but guys like that are on a whole 'nuther level. Cool that they slow-mo'd some of his tricks to really get a view of them but I think it would have been full tilt to see a full run from him with something done off each set. Really surprised they didn't get an up-close on that tuck no to bars around 3:05.

VT PSA - For all you TM guys out there that shred on the saw as much as on the bike (jdog, Frank/gt2brew)

Villij Trails from the UK. 11 months of digging for 1 month of riding will ring true for some of you DJ heads.

Tom van Steenbergen - ok, it's a new school edit and a bunch of flip & whips but the kid is tossing it on some big terrain and has some crazy ass stuff going at the end. I liked his trick at 3:30 a bunch.

Elinor Wesner @ Mtn Creek - point and shoot shredder but hits big and fast

Some really cool terrain features in this one. Riding ain't bad either
Couple pics from this past weekend:
Angel - folding one
Me - table on a transfer
Angel - tucked
Me - whip (although it doesn't look it from the angle)

Some more DJ pics
On a side note: our zone has been running for weeks and running real good - I wish the local XC trail places would let us in to get those places cleaned up and dialed 🙄
Anyway here are the pics:
Mike and I walking back to the deck
Mike - big downside table on the hip
Me - Whippy
Mike - Opposite Whip past 90 (I'm jealous!)
Me - one foot table

Thanks! Lots of work but nothing beats the feeling when it's riding well. Definitely hit me up whenever you want to ride DJ trails.
Thanks - Yeah, some good vids in there for a cold Novemeber day watch.

Yeah, Villij looks sick - I was talking to Angel how the place isn't kookoo crazy like Catty or Posh with tons of massive sets but is rad in that it doesn't have a straight set anywhere.

A few more that I came across on the interweb/fb zones this AM:

Semenuk and Logan Peat on 20"s - I always like the Life Behind Bars series and thought Semenuk is a sick rider. That bish is good at 20" too - funny how smooth they are on the little bikes and toss 360 bunny's like they are nothing. Fun mtb trail riding at the end. Love that natural step-up @ 9:22!

POACHERS! But if they dig and don't hack shit up, I might be fine with them -might.
International Stuff:

The Russian's have been watching way too many US hip-hop vids but looks like they are watching tons of bike clips too. Lots of filler stuff so be on the FF button.

Not sure if this will work for non FB users but what a crazy vid. Lines are tight and I was shacking my head at some of those drops. You'd never see this in the US.

Adidas trip to Japan - they trails there look fun! Japanese also look so stoked on bikes - would be sick to go there.

Dudes going big on a 26". I like the manual to front flip.
Don:
I've seen a lot of those urban DH runs but that one seemed pretty epic. Got me on the edge of my seat watching it.
