Click here to see the helmet cam movie of our downhill ride in Cali!!

This footage was shot on a private run in Northern California last summer. My friend Justin is riding in front of me and I have the helmet cam on. This is an example of how North Shore riding has blended with the downhill styles of the mainland. North Shore incorporates the elevated, wooden tracks and the technical aspects of the course. This course is very fast, very tight and very dangerous. Just as a reference, we were averaging around about 20 mph and only touching the brakes when we absolutely had to due to the course being too tight! I would not recommend this style of ride to anyone below an expert due to the high level of risk associated with North Shore riding. To get started in such a sport I would recommend getting comfortable with the downhills of your local mountain, such as Horsetooth Trail and the Horsetooth Lake Run. After you are comfortable with the speed and the handling, get used to jumping your bike. Once you can clear some simple set ups such as a table top and a double and triple, you will be on your way to begin NS! Best of Luck!
