Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:43,080
To understand how this ended for us,you need to know where it began.
2
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,850
For over a decade,
3
00:00:59,970 --> 00:01:04,690
we thought the state of Utahwas the best landscape on the planet
4
00:01:04,810 --> 00:01:08,770
to push our ridingand, ultimately, ourselves.
5
00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:14,490
I don't think you could designbetter terrain than this.
6
00:01:15,150 --> 00:01:17,450
It's not somethingyou could dig or form
7
00:01:17,570 --> 00:01:20,080
or put together with boards or nails.
8
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,740
It's a landscape itself.
9
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,090
It's big terrain, high consequence.
10
00:01:33,170 --> 00:01:35,880
We spent 10 years getting to know itlike the backs of our hands.
11
00:01:37,010 --> 00:01:41,060
Every crack, every slope, every line.
12
00:01:46,980 --> 00:01:49,190
It's not tame, it's not safe,
13
00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:52,690
but our time herehas made it like home.
14
00:02:02,910 --> 00:02:04,620
Traditionally, in our sport,
15
00:02:04,750 --> 00:02:07,370
you have a few trailscoming down a hill.
16
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,630
But standing on top of a mountainand having 360 degrees of options,
17
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,260
that's freedom.
18
00:02:15,380 --> 00:02:18,510
The only limit is your imagination.
19
00:05:47,090 --> 00:05:51,100
Over the last few trips to Utah,we noticed something.
20
00:05:51,220 --> 00:05:53,310
Something had changed.
21
00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:55,020
It started to feel familiar.
22
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,360
Everywhere we went,people had ridden there before.
23
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,240
And that's what sparkedthis whole idea.
24
00:06:05,650 --> 00:06:07,320
As unique as Utah is,
25
00:06:07,450 --> 00:06:09,870
could terrain like thisexist somewhere else?
26
00:06:11,780 --> 00:06:16,210
Could anything come close?Could there be better?
27
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:51,570
The bicycle has always been
28
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:51,570
a way for me to explore.
29
00:06:51,910 --> 00:06:54,080
It started with the training wheels
30
00:06:51,910 --> 00:06:54,080
coming off.
31
00:06:55,330 --> 00:06:57,290
Suddenly going from the yard
32
00:06:57,410 --> 00:06:58,960
to the whole neighborhood,
33
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,170
then the local trails,
34
00:07:01,290 --> 00:07:03,000
and eventually a careerof traveling the world
35
00:07:03,130 --> 00:07:04,710
doing contests and photo shoots.
36
00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:10,430
Riding has become my life.
37
00:07:10,550 --> 00:07:13,550
I've broken a few recordsand a lot of bones,
38
00:07:14,220 --> 00:07:16,520
and I've been lucky enoughto see a lot of the world
39
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,100
from the seat of my bike.
40
00:07:20,190 --> 00:07:21,980
But now the places I wanted to find
41
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:23,360
were landscapes
42
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,270
that had never seen tire tracks
43
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,360
or even footprints.
44
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:31,070
But how do you find something
45
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,490
that not many peoplehave even looked for?
46
00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:35,660
Where do you start?
47
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,870
The elements requiredto make up these riding zones
48
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,960
are rare and exact.
49
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,340
The perfect dirt, pitch, climate.
50
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,590
To find new locations,
51
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,590
we would have to go to places
52
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,010
where the mountain bikehad yet to be introduced.
53
00:08:07,860 --> 00:08:10,820
Leaving the familiar behindand starting out on this mission
54
00:08:10,950 --> 00:08:13,740
meant a lot of research.
55
00:08:13,860 --> 00:08:16,490
But you really don't knowif these zones will work
56
00:08:16,620 --> 00:08:19,660
until you put your tires in the dirt.
57
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,040
If we were going to pack up and headto the other side of the world,
58
00:08:26,170 --> 00:08:28,380
we were gonna need some help.
59
00:09:55,340 --> 00:09:56,590
- Hi.
- My name's Jack.
60
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,760
Nice to meet you.
61
00:09:57,890 --> 00:09:59,970
Let's go.
62
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,100
I'm here with James Doerfling
and Kurt Sorge.
63
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,690
It's pretty crazy being this far
64
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,690
from home and what you know,
65
00:10:11,820 --> 00:10:15,490
being in this completely different
part of the world.
66
00:10:18,110 --> 00:10:19,320
Wow, check that one out.
67
00:10:20,950 --> 00:10:25,200
Coming here to China
is definitely a big culture shock,
68
00:10:25,330 --> 00:10:30,840
like, it kind of makes you feel
like you're on another planet almost.
69
00:10:35,380 --> 00:10:37,340
The way people around here look at us,
70
00:10:37,470 --> 00:10:40,930
they've definitely not seen
71
00:10:37,470 --> 00:10:40,930
westerners before.
72
00:10:43,390 --> 00:10:44,430
We have a good team.
73
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:48,020
We've got a translator,
three drivers,
74
00:10:48,140 --> 00:10:52,270
and it's really key for over here
because no one speaks English.
75
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,360
Yeah, this is a traditional bazaar.
76
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,320
- What is that?
- It's baked dumplings.
77
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,780
Yeah, it's safe.
78
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,910
Having our guides here is definitely
a very unique experience.
79
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,500
You get to know these guys.
80
00:11:07,620 --> 00:11:09,870
You know, they're locals.
They've grown up here.
81
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,130
You know, this is the culture,
82
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,130
really, is them.
83
00:11:12,250 --> 00:11:15,050
So, really being able to hang out
with them, get to know them,
84
00:11:15,170 --> 00:11:16,670
is really a cool experience.
85
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:17,840
Go left.
86
00:11:22,510 --> 00:11:24,390
Left, right?
87
00:11:30,350 --> 00:11:31,810
The second we saw this terrain,
88
00:11:31,940 --> 00:11:34,570
we knew this locationhad a lot of potential.
89
00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:38,650
Almost too much, if that was possible.
90
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:43,240
Come here, and it's just so vast
and so many zones.
91
00:11:43,370 --> 00:11:47,950
That makes it almost harder
to find stuff.
92
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,040
But we also realize that comingin the middle of their summer
93
00:11:51,170 --> 00:11:52,710
may not have been the best idea.
94
00:11:54,750 --> 00:11:57,840
The average temperaturewas 45 degrees Celsius,
95
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,590
or 1 13 degrees Fahrenheit,
96
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,260
almost unbearable to ride in,let alone hike.
97
00:12:24,490 --> 00:12:28,490
I'd be lying if I saidthere wasn't a learning curve.
98
00:12:49,810 --> 00:12:52,390
But once we got our headsaround the new dirt and terrain,
99
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,850
it was game on.
100
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,860
All right!
101
00:16:31,110 --> 00:16:33,070
Champion.
102
00:16:35,030 --> 00:16:38,540
It's really cool having Jack
and the drivers come and hang out.
103
00:16:38,660 --> 00:16:41,000
They've never seen
riding like that before.
104
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,670
They're just cheering, yelling,
hollering. It's awesome.
105
00:16:43,790 --> 00:16:46,670
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
106
00:16:51,670 --> 00:16:53,130
Last day of the trip here,
107
00:16:53,260 --> 00:16:56,720
ended up rolling across
this pretty sweet road gap.
108
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:07,610
If I'm able to do this,
109
00:17:07,730 --> 00:17:10,320
definitely will be the biggest thing
I've ever done
110
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,780
out in the middle of nowhere.
111
00:17:15,450 --> 00:17:18,490
Hey, guys, I'm just,I'm holding for wind here.
112
00:17:18,620 --> 00:17:20,870
You know, hopefully get this thingin the bag.
113
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,550
Hey, guys, it's getting pretty windy.I'm not sure if I'm into this.
114
00:17:43,310 --> 00:17:44,350
Looking back,
115
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,110
I'm not sure if it was the wind,or if I just wasn't into it,
116
00:17:48,230 --> 00:17:51,230
but I was definitely disappointed.
117
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:56,070
At the end of the day,the trip was a huge success...
118
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,160
Oh, yeah! Thank you.
119
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,740
...and proved this whole ideahad great potential.
120
00:17:59,870 --> 00:18:00,990
Cheers, boys. Good trip.
121
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:02,160
China.
122
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:04,910
- Kicked our ass.
- It did.
123
00:18:08,420 --> 00:18:11,090
I think what we got was good,
124
00:18:11,210 --> 00:18:16,170
but, like, I definitely think
I could find more stuff in the future
125
00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:17,550
if I come back.
126
00:18:33,030 --> 00:18:35,820
Mike Kinrade had told meabout another potential zone
127
00:18:35,940 --> 00:18:38,410
on the edge of the Andesin Argentina.
128
00:18:38,530 --> 00:18:42,490
The other option we were thinking
was just going across the river,
129
00:18:42,620 --> 00:18:44,830
maybe further up,
130
00:18:44,950 --> 00:18:47,210
and just, like, going way back in.
131
00:18:48,330 --> 00:18:50,380
So, we traveled down to South America
132
00:18:50,500 --> 00:18:52,750
on his wordthat there would be good riding.
133
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,420
- Dude!
- That is awesome.
134
00:18:55,550 --> 00:18:58,680
Dude! That's the biggest spider
I've ever seen, man!
135
00:18:58,800 --> 00:18:59,840
You got to see this!
136
00:18:59,970 --> 00:19:01,140
Whoa, man!
137
00:19:01,260 --> 00:19:03,560
Dude! Dude!
Hey, where's my camera, man?
138
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:05,720
It was pretty weird, man,
139
00:19:05,850 --> 00:19:09,140
'cause on the drive,
it didn't really look like a desert.
140
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,190
Thinking, "Okay, where's the desert?"
141
00:19:11,310 --> 00:19:13,650
You know, all I'm doing
is seeing jungle and mountains.
142
00:19:13,770 --> 00:19:15,190
How far we got?
143
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:16,360
The whole crew was just like,
144
00:19:16,490 --> 00:19:18,280
"Where are we?
What are we doing here?"
145
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,990
Like, if I wanted to ride
in the forest, I'll stay home in B.C.
146
00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:24,530
You start climbing in elevation,
147
00:19:24,660 --> 00:19:27,950
and you start to see a little bit
of red dirt here and there.
148
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,120
And then, sure enough,
come around a corner,
149
00:19:30,250 --> 00:19:33,000
and there it was -- desert.
150
00:19:38,510 --> 00:19:43,680
Just explodes into this huge valley
of red dirt and red mountains,
151
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,180
and it just looks unbelievable.
152
00:19:45,310 --> 00:19:48,480
Instantly, morale was just
up through the roof.
153
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:49,980
Yo, look at this place.
154
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:53,110
Whoo-hoo! Pretty sick, eh?
155
00:19:54,730 --> 00:19:56,270
I start scouring to find lines,
156
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,440
and everyone's finding, you know,
about two lines each right away.
157
00:20:01,910 --> 00:20:03,660
We got to use
what each place has to offer
158
00:20:03,780 --> 00:20:04,830
and use its strengths.
159
00:20:04,950 --> 00:20:07,330
So, here in Argentina,
it's the big open faces
160
00:20:07,450 --> 00:20:10,080
and the chutes
that you don't have to touch.
161
00:20:12,540 --> 00:20:14,500
It's like five times bigger
than I thought it was
162
00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:17,250
when I looked from the other side,
163
00:20:17,380 --> 00:20:19,260
which is a good thing, I think.
164
00:20:19,380 --> 00:20:22,090
This is like the best spot
165
00:20:19,380 --> 00:20:22,090
I've ever been at.
166
00:20:26,050 --> 00:20:28,770
Ohh! It's like quicksand!
167
00:20:39,740 --> 00:20:42,490
Oh, my God.
168
00:20:43,780 --> 00:20:48,290
That was the biggest hike I've
ever done in my whole entire life.
169
00:20:53,620 --> 00:20:55,540
No one's ever rode
in this place before.
170
00:20:55,670 --> 00:20:57,000
That's a pretty cool feeling,
you know,
171
00:20:57,130 --> 00:20:59,670
'cause you're out there, and you're
like, "Dude, look at this line."
172
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,720
Probably the first one hitting it,
and I'm probably gonna be the last.
173
00:24:04,860 --> 00:24:06,780
Me and Andreu were sitting
on the ridge up there,
174
00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:08,320
and he said, "Robbie --
175
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,570
Robbie's probably
my favorite human being."
176
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:13,410
I'm like, "He's probably one
177
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:13,410
of my favorite human beings, too."
178
00:24:13,530 --> 00:24:14,660
Just sends it.
179
00:24:14,780 --> 00:24:17,410
Doesn't --
He doesn't even warm up run.
180
00:24:17,540 --> 00:24:20,210
Hasn't ridden his bike in six months,
and then just rips down that.
181
00:24:20,330 --> 00:24:22,170
Robbie, man, like,
as soon as he's on it,
182
00:24:22,290 --> 00:24:25,340
he just finds the craziest line
and rides it, man.
183
00:24:25,460 --> 00:24:28,300
His line was just insane.
184
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,360
Get it, buddy!
Get it, buddy!
185
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:56,410
- Dude!
- Damn it!
186
00:24:58,450 --> 00:24:59,870
Broke my foot, I think.
187
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,040
- Really?
- Yeah.
188
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,500
After just like a quick assessment,
189
00:25:02,620 --> 00:25:05,540
we had to go to the hospital
to check it out.
190
00:25:05,670 --> 00:25:07,460
You don't want to end up
in the hospitals down here
191
00:25:07,590 --> 00:25:09,420
or anywhere besides home, really,
192
00:25:09,550 --> 00:25:11,380
'cause you never know
what's gonna happen in there.
193
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:12,720
X-ray, or...
194
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:13,880
No one speaks English.
195
00:25:14,010 --> 00:25:16,220
It was really rough
trying to get them to understand
196
00:25:16,340 --> 00:25:18,140
that I needed an X-ray on my foot.
197
00:25:24,100 --> 00:25:26,150
Fortunate enough
that there was no broken bones,
198
00:25:26,270 --> 00:25:27,730
but he's pretty injured right now,
199
00:25:27,860 --> 00:25:30,150
so we'll see if he can
get back on his bike
200
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,610
anytime later in the trip.
201
00:25:35,070 --> 00:25:38,120
Seems like more people are
getting hurt this trip than normally.
202
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,540
Andreu took one of the hardest crashes
I've ever seen in my life.
203
00:25:45,210 --> 00:25:47,540
- Your neck and everything all right?
- It may be the collarbone.
204
00:25:47,670 --> 00:25:48,920
I took a big crash,
205
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:53,130
but luckily, I just got a bunch
of bumps and bruises.
206
00:26:12,610 --> 00:26:16,280
No one wants to take any more risk
in a country like this,
207
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,450
but, at the same time,
if you see something you want to do,
208
00:26:18,570 --> 00:26:19,780
you're not just gonna let it go by.
209
00:26:19,910 --> 00:26:20,990
You're still gonna go for it.
210
00:26:21,790 --> 00:26:24,200
Two minutes later,
he's just 100% again,
211
00:26:24,330 --> 00:26:27,170
and he just goes back up there
and rides the same line.
212
00:26:27,290 --> 00:26:29,670
Rolling.
213
00:27:00,740 --> 00:27:02,160
Nice!
214
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,740
So sick.
215
00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:07,290
Nice work!
216
00:27:07,410 --> 00:27:08,870
No problems that time.
217
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,040
First day back.
218
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,020
The next location we wanted to explorewas back in North America.
219
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,730
And we knew that if we wanted to findnew terrain on our home continent,
220
00:27:31,860 --> 00:27:33,190
we'd have to go deep.
221
00:27:33,860 --> 00:27:36,150
We're in the most pristine section
of the Fraser River
222
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,240
in central British Columbia.
223
00:27:39,990 --> 00:27:43,990
The only way into most of these areas
is by jet boat.
224
00:27:44,990 --> 00:27:46,950
We're gonna be on the Fraser
for, like, 10 days --
225
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,750
camping out, roughing it,
226
00:27:48,870 --> 00:27:52,130
pretty far away from anything, really.
227
00:27:55,670 --> 00:27:57,300
Being back in North America,
228
00:27:57,420 --> 00:27:58,920
we definitely had accessto some amenities
229
00:27:59,050 --> 00:28:00,800
that made exploring a lot easier.
230
00:28:21,030 --> 00:28:23,570
We're in the middle
of the middle of nowhere.
231
00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:26,740
If you can find
the center point of nowhere,
232
00:28:26,870 --> 00:28:28,830
it's inside the center point.
233
00:28:29,910 --> 00:28:31,330
When I first heard about this trip,
234
00:28:31,460 --> 00:28:35,670
I knew we were gonna be living
by the Claw lifestyle.
235
00:28:35,790 --> 00:28:39,590
If he, all of a sudden,
got dropped off here by himself,
236
00:28:39,710 --> 00:28:41,670
I have a feeling he'd be all right.
237
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,720
Can't say the same
for the rest of us.
238
00:28:46,510 --> 00:28:48,010
The McCauls haven't camped too much.
239
00:28:48,140 --> 00:28:49,970
I'm claiming a spot right here.
240
00:28:50,100 --> 00:28:51,350
It looks like, kind of, tent city.
241
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,900
Safety in numbers
from the wildlife and the bears.
242
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,570
Hopefully they'll get them or them
or them first,
243
00:28:57,690 --> 00:28:59,900
so I'm pitching my tent
right in the middle.
244
00:29:00,030 --> 00:29:02,530
Did you see the bear shit about
10 feet away from your tent there?
245
00:29:02,650 --> 00:29:03,780
I did not see the bear shit
246
00:29:03,910 --> 00:29:06,620
10 feet away from where
I'm about to set up my tent.
247
00:29:06,740 --> 00:29:09,490
- It's right here.
- Oh, good. That's safe.
248
00:29:09,620 --> 00:29:11,830
This is his trail.
249
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,120
This thing needs a glossary.
250
00:29:13,250 --> 00:29:15,630
They never told me
251
00:29:13,250 --> 00:29:15,630
what a rip-and-stick wrap...
252
00:29:16,750 --> 00:29:18,210
Yeah, I set up tents all the time.
253
00:29:18,340 --> 00:29:20,170
No, I'm not reading the directions
or anything.
254
00:29:21,550 --> 00:29:24,720
This keeps the rain out, by the way,
in case you're a rookie.
255
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,340
Home sweet home!
256
00:29:26,470 --> 00:29:28,300
How come the pole
is on top of your tent?
257
00:29:28,430 --> 00:29:31,470
Nobody else's seems to be that way.
258
00:29:32,020 --> 00:29:37,110
It's a little trick I picked up
over the years about tent-building.
259
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,490
Ow, ow, ow, ow.
260
00:29:49,620 --> 00:29:51,080
I thought you were singing.
261
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,790
Yeah. Ow!
262
00:29:52,910 --> 00:29:55,870
I burned my knee
263
00:29:57,420 --> 00:29:58,420
It really --
264
00:29:58,540 --> 00:29:59,790
Ow, fuck.
265
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:00,960
God damn it.
266
00:30:03,590 --> 00:30:06,680
I thought the CD was skipping
for a second.
267
00:30:28,570 --> 00:30:30,910
I'm down with this camping business,
268
00:30:31,030 --> 00:30:33,790
except for my tent's on a hill,
and my sleeping bag's really slippery.
269
00:30:33,910 --> 00:30:36,460
I kept trying to figure out
why I'd end up in a little ball
270
00:30:36,580 --> 00:30:37,750
down at the bottom of my tent.
271
00:30:37,870 --> 00:30:39,710
So I'd scoot my way back up,
fall asleep,
272
00:30:39,830 --> 00:30:41,880
and then just slowly
slide back down.
273
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,170
That was my first line of the trip,
274
00:30:43,300 --> 00:30:46,840
all the way from the top of my tent
down to the bottom.
275
00:30:46,970 --> 00:30:49,680
I think I'll find some more today.
276
00:31:12,450 --> 00:31:14,200
We all just kind of gambled
a little bit,
277
00:31:14,330 --> 00:31:15,870
and then went down river.
278
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,540
And we come across this zone
that just looks awesome.
279
00:31:20,670 --> 00:31:24,920
And it looks like something that was
just made for mountain biking.
280
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,050
It's all good.
281
00:34:11,170 --> 00:34:14,340
The first two corners are soft,
so you can blow those up.
282
00:34:14,470 --> 00:34:17,590
You'll rail it no problem,
and it's all good, man.
283
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,960
Dude, that is probably
the funnest line I have ever ridden...
284
00:34:51,090 --> 00:34:53,300
- Yeah, so fun.
- ...in my life.
285
00:34:53,420 --> 00:34:55,590
- I think we got her, buddy.
- Yeah.
286
00:34:55,720 --> 00:34:57,970
Just the best way to end the day.
287
00:35:00,180 --> 00:35:01,970
So, we're up the Chilcotin River
this time.
288
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:04,180
We've been camping
on the Fraser River.
289
00:35:04,310 --> 00:35:05,730
Fraser River is beautiful,
290
00:35:05,850 --> 00:35:07,980
but Chilcotin's
on a whole different level.
291
00:35:08,100 --> 00:35:10,560
The river's just bright blue-green
292
00:35:10,690 --> 00:35:14,730
and just surrounded
by big canyons and hoodoos.
293
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,360
Unfortunately,the Chilcotin's rapids were too big
294
00:35:20,490 --> 00:35:23,660
for the jet boatto bring our bikes in.
295
00:35:23,780 --> 00:35:25,950
But lucky for us,we still had the heli.
296
00:35:31,830 --> 00:35:34,090
See that sand slope,like, dead ahead of us?
297
00:35:34,210 --> 00:35:35,300
Yep.
298
00:35:35,420 --> 00:35:37,340
I think that's gonna be our L.D.
right up there.
299
00:35:37,470 --> 00:35:39,470
Okay.
300
00:35:46,350 --> 00:35:47,680
We got an early start today,
301
00:35:47,810 --> 00:35:51,310
and we have a mountain-bike
playground at our disposal
302
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,480
with a helicopter
to get us up to the top.
303
00:35:53,610 --> 00:35:55,020
I have a feeling this day
is gonna be one
304
00:35:55,150 --> 00:35:56,360
that goes down
in the memory banks
305
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,570
as one of the greatest days
we've had riding.
306
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,350
We were gaining momentum.
307
00:38:32,470 --> 00:38:35,390
But we knew that if we really wantedto push big-mountain riding,
308
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,690
we would have to goto the biggest mountains in the world.
309
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,030
And that's what brought us to Nepal,
310
00:38:43,150 --> 00:38:47,490
headed to one of the most remoteregions in the Himalayas.
311
00:38:48,490 --> 00:38:52,240
Upper Mustang's been the longest
and furthest and hardest trip
312
00:38:52,370 --> 00:38:53,410
I've ever been on,
313
00:38:53,540 --> 00:38:58,210
and just to get into the country
it was like a three-day ordeal.
314
00:39:00,750 --> 00:39:02,170
I don't know what happened.
315
00:39:02,290 --> 00:39:08,630
All 45 pieces of luggage showed up
except for my two pieces of luggage.
316
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,640
As soon as we get to Kathmandu,
317
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,430
I know that we're supposed to charter
a plane and get out of there
318
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,310
and then start our trek
for three days,
319
00:39:16,430 --> 00:39:18,480
so it just doesn't seem realistic
for me
320
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,940
that my bike's gonna end up
catching up to me.
321
00:39:21,060 --> 00:39:22,730
So, at this point,
I'm really bummed out.
322
00:39:22,860 --> 00:39:25,360
I came all this way,
and I don't have a bike
323
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,320
or clothes or anything.
324
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:28,950
No purpose.
325
00:39:29,070 --> 00:39:31,740
This will probably be
the sketchiest flight of our life.
326
00:39:31,870 --> 00:39:33,120
Pretty much.
327
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,410
In a situation like this,
328
00:39:36,540 --> 00:39:39,000
you just have to keep
your mind occupied,
329
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:40,830
because coming all the way
to Kathmandu
330
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,250
and then knowing that we have
331
00:39:42,380 --> 00:39:44,250
another three- or four-day trek
ahead of us
332
00:39:44,380 --> 00:39:48,260
to get to a zone that we might not
even be able to ride,
333
00:39:48,380 --> 00:39:52,430
and if we could, it might suck,
so it's a leap of faith,
334
00:39:52,550 --> 00:39:57,020
but, you know, you got to take
gambles every now and then.
335
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:11,410
One of our guides, Mingma, is
a pretty acclaimed mountain climber.
336
00:40:11,530 --> 00:40:12,700
It was pretty cool to have him
337
00:40:12,820 --> 00:40:14,530
'cause he's been up to Everest
a couple of times,
338
00:40:14,660 --> 00:40:16,830
and he's also climbed Annapurna I.
339
00:41:08,170 --> 00:41:12,090
So what we're doing here in Kagbeni
is we're gonna enter upper Mustang,
340
00:41:12,220 --> 00:41:15,180
which has been just opened up
to the public in '92.
341
00:41:15,300 --> 00:41:17,180
Before that,
no foreigners were allowed in.
342
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,100
The reason that this area
has been restricted to foreigners
343
00:41:22,230 --> 00:41:24,690
is because if you keep going that way,
up the valley,
344
00:41:24,810 --> 00:41:26,480
it ends up landing in Tibet,
345
00:41:26,610 --> 00:41:27,860
and from what we've been told,
346
00:41:27,980 --> 00:41:31,650
there's still a large military
presence up this valley.
347
00:41:34,860 --> 00:41:37,620
This is where the road ends
and the hiking begins.
348
00:41:40,540 --> 00:41:42,290
From Kagbeni we went to Chele.
349
00:41:42,410 --> 00:41:44,420
Starting to put the work boots on.
350
00:41:44,540 --> 00:41:47,630
I'm hiking in my skate shoes
'cause I don't have my bag,
351
00:41:47,750 --> 00:41:49,420
and feet are starting to get sore,
352
00:41:49,550 --> 00:41:52,050
and I'm wearing chino pants.
353
00:41:52,170 --> 00:41:54,680
Just trying to stay positive.
354
00:42:04,890 --> 00:42:06,940
You guys see anything?
355
00:42:07,060 --> 00:42:09,610
Gained some elevation
and ended up here
356
00:42:09,730 --> 00:42:11,980
at this small, little, remote town.
357
00:42:15,820 --> 00:42:19,120
Definitely we're in the Himalayas,
so the elevations are a factor.
358
00:42:19,240 --> 00:42:21,870
Right now we're at about 10,000 feet,
359
00:42:21,990 --> 00:42:24,410
and it's not really
360
00:42:21,990 --> 00:42:24,410
in too much of effect.
361
00:42:24,540 --> 00:42:27,080
You can feel it, definitely,
362
00:42:24,540 --> 00:42:27,080
when you're hiking around a bit.
363
00:42:27,210 --> 00:42:29,080
You get a little more tired
a little quicker,
364
00:42:29,210 --> 00:42:31,380
but tomorrow we're supposed
to put on a big day
365
00:42:31,500 --> 00:42:35,590
and gain, I guess, thousand
vertical meters, which is quite a bit.
366
00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:37,840
We'll probably be up
at 14,000 vertical feet,
367
00:42:37,970 --> 00:42:41,310
and you're definitely gonna be
feeling it there.
368
00:42:44,770 --> 00:42:50,650
Woke up to a bit of a frosty morning
with some snow on local hills.
369
00:42:57,700 --> 00:42:59,870
I'm not looking down.
370
00:43:01,330 --> 00:43:03,330
They're building a road
down this valley
371
00:43:03,450 --> 00:43:05,450
that will connect Tibet to Nepal,
372
00:43:05,580 --> 00:43:07,000
but it's not done yet.
373
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,510
It's pretty cool to see this place
before the road's finished
374
00:43:17,630 --> 00:43:18,930
and there's a lot
of outside influence.
375
00:43:19,050 --> 00:43:22,720
And we get to see it how it's been
for hundreds and hundreds of years.
376
00:43:28,270 --> 00:43:30,310
The trails are gnarly for us,
377
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,690
but that's the only way
the locals have to get around,
378
00:43:32,820 --> 00:43:34,860
and it's the only way
to get out here, so...
379
00:43:34,980 --> 00:43:37,490
It's what we signed up for.
380
00:43:37,610 --> 00:43:40,450
Couple of us got a little bit
of altitude sickness
381
00:43:40,570 --> 00:43:43,830
just because we climbed
so high so fast.
382
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,540
We gained about 3,000 feet
in elevation.
383
00:43:51,670 --> 00:43:53,460
I wish I had a granny.
384
00:43:53,590 --> 00:43:55,710
Still hiking in skate shoes.
385
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,630
Up and down.
386
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,220
And I'm beat. Blistered feet.
387
00:44:00,340 --> 00:44:02,850
That's definitely one of the hardest
days I've ever had walking.
388
00:44:04,390 --> 00:44:08,270
Rolling into this little town,
and, like, I'm super fired up.
389
00:44:08,390 --> 00:44:09,980
The riding actually looks amazing.
390
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,070
Yeah, boys, how sick was that?
391
00:44:20,450 --> 00:44:24,620
I'm still claiming longest day
of my life, I think.
392
00:44:24,740 --> 00:44:27,080
And we're just gonna
grab some dinner
393
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:28,870
and hopefully get a good night's rest,
394
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,120
and tomorrow we're gonna hopefully
put the tires in the dirt
395
00:44:31,250 --> 00:44:32,670
and see how it goes.
396
00:44:42,050 --> 00:44:44,550
Nepalese Santa brought me
a nice gift for the morning.
397
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,600
I got my bag of clothes.
398
00:44:46,720 --> 00:44:48,560
I got my bike back.
399
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,480
It's a little beat and battered,
400
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,650
but I was in the same clothes
for five days,
401
00:44:55,770 --> 00:44:59,940
and it's pretty refreshing
to have my own stuff now.
402
00:45:00,070 --> 00:45:02,820
I guess some porters
carried my bike in.
403
00:45:02,950 --> 00:45:03,910
I can't thank them enough.
404
00:45:04,030 --> 00:45:06,990
And I finally got
some normal shoes to wear.
405
00:45:14,370 --> 00:45:15,210
Most people are like,
406
00:45:15,330 --> 00:45:19,130
"Oh, yeah, yeah, you ride stuff like
this all the time," but we haven't.
407
00:45:19,250 --> 00:45:20,340
You know, this is totally new.
408
00:45:20,460 --> 00:45:25,470
Every time we go to a new location,
the dirt is completely different.
409
00:45:28,890 --> 00:45:33,020
Coming this far, and, you know,
getting your first line down
410
00:45:33,140 --> 00:45:35,810
and realizing that it's not really
what you're hoping for
411
00:45:35,940 --> 00:45:37,770
is a huge disappointment.
412
00:45:37,900 --> 00:45:41,360
You're like, "Man, I just traveled
five days, and now it's not working."
413
00:45:41,490 --> 00:45:43,860
It's not a good feeling.
414
00:45:43,990 --> 00:45:45,910
How was it?
415
00:45:46,030 --> 00:45:47,820
Oh, it was fine until I crashed.
416
00:45:47,950 --> 00:45:48,990
I'll race 'ya?
417
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,620
What about that next one over?
418
00:45:51,750 --> 00:45:53,120
Has anyone looked at that?
419
00:45:53,250 --> 00:45:55,960
Dude, this zone fuckin' sucks.
420
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,250
I fuckin' hate this zone.
421
00:45:58,380 --> 00:45:59,920
All right, well, let's move on, then.
422
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,390
Hey!
423
00:46:20,610 --> 00:46:21,780
All of new Nepal.
424
00:46:29,950 --> 00:46:32,200
Just seeing the peopleand the culture in Nepal,
425
00:46:32,330 --> 00:46:33,830
it was still worth the trip.
426
00:46:36,330 --> 00:46:38,420
But it was hard to believewe'd come this far
427
00:46:38,540 --> 00:46:41,040
and found nothing worthy of riding.
428
00:46:50,390 --> 00:46:54,020
We've been going
over little mini-pass over mini-pass,
429
00:46:54,140 --> 00:46:57,850
and it's just too gnarly
for all the wrong reasons
430
00:46:57,980 --> 00:47:00,690
with too many big rocks
and no run-outs,
431
00:47:00,810 --> 00:47:05,780
and come around this little corner,
and we think we got something.
432
00:47:07,030 --> 00:47:08,700
I think that thing's gonna work, dude.
433
00:47:08,820 --> 00:47:10,620
- That thing?
- Yeah.
434
00:47:10,740 --> 00:47:13,080
Why not? It's sand.
435
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,450
See, there's so many options, too.
436
00:47:15,580 --> 00:47:16,660
I think we found gold.
437
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,430
Hiking at this elevation
feels like the gravity's turned up
438
00:47:28,550 --> 00:47:31,850
to double its normal strength.
439
00:47:31,970 --> 00:47:35,770
The harder you work, the, you know,
more memorable the line,
440
00:47:35,890 --> 00:47:40,230
so, it's a lot of work,
but it's always worth it.
441
00:47:40,350 --> 00:47:41,860
Yeah, buddy.
442
00:47:41,980 --> 00:47:45,320
Makes it that much more glorious
when you get it done.
443
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:46,860
All right.
444
00:47:55,620 --> 00:47:57,370
Yeah!
445
00:48:00,670 --> 00:48:02,170
Okay, dropping it.
446
00:48:02,290 --> 00:48:03,500
Go.
447
00:48:23,730 --> 00:48:25,190
You got this, Kurt!
448
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:26,900
Drop it.
449
00:48:34,740 --> 00:48:39,000
- Yeah, Sorge!
- Look at Sorge.
450
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,960
Oh, yeah, buddy!
451
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:48,960
Dude, you killed it!
452
00:49:18,700 --> 00:49:20,620
Oh, my God.
453
00:49:20,750 --> 00:49:23,250
I don't think I've ever gone that fast
down a chute before.
454
00:49:23,370 --> 00:49:26,630
Dude, I was just fuckin' holding on
455
00:49:23,370 --> 00:49:26,630
for dear life.
456
00:49:26,750 --> 00:49:29,210
It is fuckin' fast.
457
00:49:46,690 --> 00:49:47,900
That was sick!
458
00:51:27,370 --> 00:51:29,370
Oh, this is gnarly.
459
00:52:02,570 --> 00:52:04,240
I think the only thing
that went as planned
460
00:52:04,370 --> 00:52:05,540
is that I made it to the bottom.
461
00:52:05,660 --> 00:52:08,370
- Yeah, buddy.
- Give the boy some air, huh?
462
00:52:08,500 --> 00:52:10,370
Dude, that's probably like 2,000 vert.
463
00:52:10,500 --> 00:52:13,340
That's like your average trail
at Whistler in, like, five seconds.
464
00:52:13,460 --> 00:52:14,540
Yeah, you're right.
465
00:52:15,090 --> 00:52:16,670
Yeah, the riding has been
466
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:21,300
probably some of the gnarliest riding
I've ever done, in the upper Mustang.
467
00:52:21,430 --> 00:52:25,390
It's just trumped pretty much
everything else I've ridden.
468
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:34,020
We keep searching all over the globe
for this unique riding terrain.
469
00:52:34,150 --> 00:52:37,400
It's crazy 'cause, you know,
we just seem to scratch the surface
470
00:52:37,530 --> 00:52:38,650
wherever we go.
471
00:52:38,780 --> 00:52:40,900
We just, you know,
we got two weeks here,
472
00:52:41,030 --> 00:52:46,950
and it just seems that we need
a couple months, you know?
473
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:51,080
Just being in these zones
474
00:52:51,210 --> 00:52:55,090
and seeing how vast,
you know, the world is,
475
00:52:55,210 --> 00:52:59,380
it just makes you realize
that there's a lot more out there,
476
00:52:59,510 --> 00:53:03,590
and there's a lot to be had,
and the search goes on.
477
00:53:11,980 --> 00:53:14,270
There's an old saying about traveling,
478
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:15,520
that when you travel,
479
00:53:15,650 --> 00:53:18,230
you not only get a new perspectiveon the world,
480
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,950
but you also get a new perspectiveon home.
481
00:53:22,780 --> 00:53:25,950
After almost two yearshunting down new landscapes,
482
00:53:26,070 --> 00:53:28,790
we decided to returnwhere it all started
483
00:53:28,910 --> 00:53:31,830
and see if it looked any different.
484
00:53:33,250 --> 00:53:36,920
Virgin, Utah, is where this styleof riding first came to life.
485
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,010
Its shelves and spineshave seen more progression
486
00:53:45,140 --> 00:53:48,640
in big-mountain ridingthan anywhere else.
487
00:53:52,310 --> 00:53:54,600
We've all ridden this terraincountless times.
488
00:53:54,730 --> 00:53:58,520
We know the drops, the dirt,and the hospitals all too well.
489
00:54:00,730 --> 00:54:03,950
But with these elements of comfortcomes a lack of excuses.
490
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,200
All these other locations,it was exhilarating enough
491
00:54:09,330 --> 00:54:13,290
just putting tires where they'dnever been and surviving.
492
00:54:13,410 --> 00:54:15,580
Here, there's an immense pressure
493
00:54:15,710 --> 00:54:19,630
to exceed 15 yearsof big-mountain history.
494
00:54:23,130 --> 00:54:24,380
We're rolling.
495
00:54:24,510 --> 00:54:25,760
Let's do this!
496
00:55:43,550 --> 00:55:46,340
Probably the gnarliest thing
I've ever done.
497
00:57:45,830 --> 00:57:48,960
Dropping in five.
498
00:59:00,370 --> 00:59:03,490
There's a common misconceptionthat when you come to Virgin,
499
00:59:03,620 --> 00:59:06,410
you rod, get all the linesand tricks you wanted,
500
00:59:06,540 --> 00:59:09,500
and return home victorious.
501
00:59:11,130 --> 00:59:13,210
But the unfortunate partof pushing your limits
502
00:59:13,340 --> 00:59:14,920
in a place like this
503
00:59:15,050 --> 00:59:17,300
is eventually, you find them.
504
00:59:22,850 --> 00:59:24,430
You know, we really want
to push our riding,
505
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:28,640
and, you know, myself,
I'm here to get some new tricks
506
00:59:28,770 --> 00:59:31,440
that I've been wanting to do
for years, actually.
507
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:34,530
I want to try a front flip off a drop.
508
00:59:34,650 --> 00:59:36,030
Something that scares
the crap out of me,
509
00:59:36,150 --> 00:59:38,150
but end of the day,
it's something I know I can do.
510
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:39,450
I just need to commit to it.
511
00:59:40,030 --> 00:59:42,580
Yeah, this spring,
Darren broke his back
512
00:59:42,700 --> 00:59:44,990
front-flipping just in his backyard.
513
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:46,620
I want this.
514
00:59:47,790 --> 00:59:49,790
You can do this.
515
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,790
Having that kind of demons
in the back of your mind
516
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:54,420
haunting you on a trick,
517
00:59:54,550 --> 00:59:57,260
it always comes into play out here.
518
00:59:59,010 --> 01:00:00,640
Yeah, front flips are scary.
519
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:02,550
They've taken a lot of people out.
520
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:06,520
You're a fuckin' pussy!
521
01:00:17,150 --> 01:00:20,490
Not every story has a happy ending.
522
01:00:20,610 --> 01:00:25,740
The pressure we put on ourselvesto push our riding is immense.
523
01:00:33,250 --> 01:00:34,290
He lost it, man.
524
01:00:34,420 --> 01:00:35,670
He wanted it so bad,
525
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:37,630
but that thought
of breaking his back again
526
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,260
was in the back of his head.
527
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:42,430
You can't blame him for not doing it.
528
01:00:42,550 --> 01:00:46,430
It just shows how much passion
he has for bike riding.
529
01:00:50,060 --> 01:00:51,520
I respect what he did, you know?
530
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:53,980
Like, sometimes you're able to do it,
531
01:00:54,110 --> 01:00:56,360
and sometimes
your head just goes like --
532
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,030
Sometimes you just can't, you know?
533
01:01:35,900 --> 01:01:38,150
Fuck. Fuck.
534
01:01:38,270 --> 01:01:40,820
He's out. He's out!
535
01:01:42,860 --> 01:01:45,160
I'm good.
536
01:01:47,910 --> 01:01:49,870
Whoa.
537
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:06,930
Coming to Utah is full-bore.
538
01:02:07,050 --> 01:02:09,350
You're not just going
to ride your local trails.
539
01:02:09,470 --> 01:02:10,720
It's like you're going for blood
540
01:02:10,850 --> 01:02:12,930
because you're trying
to progress the sport
541
01:02:13,060 --> 01:02:14,810
as much as you possibly can.
542
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:22,280
It's a great place to where
you can go bigger
543
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,450
and show the world things that have
never been done on a mountain bike.
544
01:02:25,570 --> 01:02:28,820
But, at the same time,
that comes with a price.
545
01:02:34,710 --> 01:02:38,830
Sometimes you eat Utah,
and sometimes Utah eats you, I guess.
546
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,630
This trip, Utah, I think it
definitely got the better --
547
01:02:41,750 --> 01:02:44,010
the better end of us
than we got out of it.
548
01:02:44,130 --> 01:02:45,170
You good?
549
01:02:45,300 --> 01:02:47,260
- Yeah, he's good.
- I hit it hard.
550
01:02:47,390 --> 01:02:49,930
I thought I broke my collarbone.
551
01:02:50,050 --> 01:02:55,230
This shouldn't be viewedas a negative, but just reality.
552
01:02:58,770 --> 01:03:02,110
And it's simply parfor the course in Utah,
553
01:03:02,230 --> 01:03:05,030
a landscape that remainsone of the most ideal
554
01:03:05,150 --> 01:03:06,900
for big-mountain riding.
555
01:03:08,030 --> 01:03:10,370
But was it still the best?
556
01:03:11,580 --> 01:03:13,950
It felt like there wasanother location
557
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:15,870
that may have taken its place.
558
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:20,210
After all the searching we've done,
I came back to this spot
559
01:03:20,330 --> 01:03:23,380
just because it's the best
big-mountain riding I've ever seen.
560
01:03:23,500 --> 01:03:25,090
There's nothing like the Gobi.
561
01:03:27,130 --> 01:03:28,340
As soon as we saw Mr. Wu again,
562
01:03:28,470 --> 01:03:30,590
we're like, "Yeah, we're driving
with him the whole time, man.
563
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:32,180
He kills it."
564
01:03:42,820 --> 01:03:44,530
This go-round, on this trip,
565
01:03:44,650 --> 01:03:47,740
I think we know kind of more
what we're looking for.
566
01:03:52,910 --> 01:03:56,160
It seems like it's just --
The only hard part is getting there
567
01:03:56,290 --> 01:04:01,040
and scouting it and finding
an efficient way to cover everything.
568
01:04:01,170 --> 01:04:02,590
Getting over there?
569
01:04:02,710 --> 01:04:04,340
That's where I want to go.
570
01:04:04,460 --> 01:04:06,340
Is there any way that we can get
the vehicles down
571
01:04:06,460 --> 01:04:08,050
and on the other side?
572
01:04:08,170 --> 01:04:09,760
We can see this place
in the distance,
573
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:13,180
and then trying to get out here
is another thing.
574
01:04:13,300 --> 01:04:14,560
It's like Vegas.
575
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:17,810
When you see the casinos from afar,
you're like, "I can walk there,"
576
01:04:17,930 --> 01:04:19,560
and then six hours later
577
01:04:19,690 --> 01:04:21,270
you haven't gotten
halfway across town.
578
01:04:23,860 --> 01:04:28,530
This is gonna be an all-hands-on-deck
situation here in a second.
579
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:34,280
The van cannot go.
580
01:04:35,450 --> 01:04:37,700
We got little clearance vans
with our bikes in them,
581
01:04:37,830 --> 01:04:41,420
so we had to figure out a way
to get the bikes on the land cruisers.
582
01:05:03,900 --> 01:05:05,020
Traveling around the world,
583
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:07,110
you really got to rely
on what you bring with you,
584
01:05:07,230 --> 01:05:09,070
and if you don't,
you just got to improvise
585
01:05:09,190 --> 01:05:12,240
on what you can find
and what you can create.
586
01:05:14,450 --> 01:05:17,450
Some sketchy craftsmanship here,
but I think she's gonna work.
587
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:20,450
Plenty of clearance.
588
01:05:20,580 --> 01:05:22,620
Little high.
Little higher than we needed.
589
01:05:27,670 --> 01:05:29,920
You know, when you come back
to a zone like this,
590
01:05:30,050 --> 01:05:32,760
it's not like it's engrained
in your head
591
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:34,890
on how to ride this terrain.
592
01:05:35,010 --> 01:05:36,760
It's funny,
hiking up you're kind of timid
593
01:05:36,890 --> 01:05:41,060
and like, "Man, I don't really
remember what it feels like."
594
01:05:42,100 --> 01:05:44,150
We've all been here before
besides Zink,
595
01:05:44,270 --> 01:05:48,440
and you could tell he was anxious
to get on his bike.
596
01:05:48,570 --> 01:05:50,440
When I dropped in,
I didn't want to be timid.
597
01:05:50,570 --> 01:05:53,950
I just wanted to go
as fast as I could.
598
01:05:54,950 --> 01:05:57,030
And then as soon as I got
in the gully, I realized,
599
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,410
"I'm in big trouble."
600
01:06:03,710 --> 01:06:05,290
Oh, my God!
601
01:06:07,710 --> 01:06:09,920
Oh, my God.
602
01:06:12,210 --> 01:06:14,220
Does he even have a radio?
I don't even think he has a radio.
603
01:06:14,340 --> 01:06:16,340
Yo, Zink.
604
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:28,610
How you feeling, buddy?
605
01:06:29,270 --> 01:06:32,110
Is Zink all good or what?
606
01:06:32,230 --> 01:06:34,900
He's super short on breathand a little wounded.
607
01:06:35,030 --> 01:06:38,740
- But he's good.- Oh, my God, that was so gnarly.
608
01:06:38,870 --> 01:06:43,290
I totally thought
that I was breaking my back.
609
01:06:43,410 --> 01:06:45,330
I thought it was gonna be
so mellow and whatever,
610
01:06:45,460 --> 01:06:49,880
and that gully
just got so thin so quick, like...
611
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:51,880
- What's up?
- Dude, you got tommied.
612
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,590
It fuckin' sucked, man.
613
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:58,840
Well, can we go to a doctor
that has an X-ray machine?
614
01:06:58,970 --> 01:07:01,470
That's the hardest thing ever
is keeping your mind from running.
615
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:02,930
I've never been to a Chinese hospital.
616
01:07:03,060 --> 01:07:04,390
I didn't know
what it was gonna be like.
617
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:08,230
And say I had a ruptured organ,
and I was bleeding inside.
618
01:07:08,350 --> 01:07:10,230
I don't want them to cut me open.
619
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,480
It could be a nightmare.
620
01:07:13,980 --> 01:07:18,570
I'm starting to figure that this trip
might be over for me.
621
01:07:20,660 --> 01:07:23,160
You tell them it's like I don't care
about the cuts right now.
622
01:07:23,290 --> 01:07:25,160
I just want to get my ribs...
623
01:07:26,870 --> 01:07:27,920
Thanks a lot.
624
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:34,420
We going?
625
01:07:38,470 --> 01:07:39,800
Sit right here.
626
01:07:39,930 --> 01:07:42,050
- Sit here?
- Yeah.
627
01:07:44,470 --> 01:07:46,060
Thank you.
628
01:07:46,180 --> 01:07:50,440
It's feeling a little bit better now,
but I'm still, like, short of breath.
629
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:51,310
Let's go.
630
01:08:03,700 --> 01:08:05,620
- A shadow.
631
01:08:03,700 --> 01:08:05,620
- Thank you.
632
01:08:05,740 --> 01:08:09,460
The ribs are good.
I'm not going home now.
633
01:08:13,340 --> 01:08:15,960
One of my best friends, Kyle Strait,
is always making fun of me
634
01:08:16,090 --> 01:08:18,840
that I love crashing,
and, clearly, I don't.
635
01:08:18,970 --> 01:08:20,300
Nobody loves crashing.
636
01:08:20,430 --> 01:08:25,010
There's something gratifying
about taking that kind of a beating
637
01:08:25,140 --> 01:08:27,640
and just being able to continue on.
638
01:08:27,770 --> 01:08:31,650
And you're just like, "If I didn't get
hurt doing that, I can do anything."
639
01:08:35,690 --> 01:08:37,940
When I found that jump,
640
01:08:38,070 --> 01:08:41,360
I made up my mind
pretty much right away
641
01:08:41,490 --> 01:08:43,910
that I wanted to flip it the first try
642
01:08:44,030 --> 01:08:45,950
so that when I landed on a flip
643
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:48,910
you would clearly see that
that's the first time it's been hit.
644
01:09:49,810 --> 01:09:52,600
I think we're ready.Are you ready?
645
01:09:52,730 --> 01:09:54,270
About as ready as I'll ever be, buddy.
646
01:10:33,100 --> 01:10:36,770
The places we're riding right now,
like, there's just no comparison.
647
01:10:36,900 --> 01:10:38,770
I don't really know how to explain it.
648
01:10:38,900 --> 01:10:42,360
Just complete freedom,
like you try whatever you want.
649
01:13:35,910 --> 01:13:38,080
Last day in the Gobi.
650
01:13:38,580 --> 01:13:41,870
It's just opened my eyes
to so many other locations
651
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:43,040
I want to take it to,
652
01:13:43,170 --> 01:13:46,380
and I really hope that this isn't
the end, and it's just the beginning.
653
01:13:46,500 --> 01:13:47,920
- Yeah, Wu.
- Yeah!
654
01:13:48,050 --> 01:13:49,300
Yeah, Jack.
655
01:13:51,210 --> 01:13:53,380
Just saw in the distance,
coming across the flats,
656
01:13:53,510 --> 01:13:55,050
a group of kids.
657
01:13:59,510 --> 01:14:00,640
No English?
658
01:14:00,770 --> 01:14:02,020
No, you guys just...
659
01:14:09,020 --> 01:14:10,440
The first thing that they noticed
660
01:14:10,570 --> 01:14:13,490
is the brakes are a little touchier
than what they are used to.
661
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:21,790
The whole reason that brought us
on this voyage is the landscape
662
01:14:21,910 --> 01:14:24,710
so that we can find a place
to ride our bikes.
663
01:14:26,750 --> 01:14:29,500
The people, the cultures,
and all the other things that we saw
664
01:14:29,630 --> 01:14:32,260
are the true fruits of our labor,
you know?
665
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:41,100
These kids are gonna be doing this
till dark.
666
01:14:41,220 --> 01:14:44,180
I know I would when I was a kid.
667
01:14:45,140 --> 01:14:46,810
Now we're back two years later,
668
01:14:46,940 --> 01:14:49,480
and it's still here
in perfect condition.
669
01:14:49,610 --> 01:14:52,480
Looks pretty much good to go as is
right now.
670
01:14:57,700 --> 01:15:00,030
Yeah, Claw!
671
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:13,340
- Yeah, buddy!
- Yeah!
672
01:16:19,570 --> 01:16:22,030
After traveling the worldfor the last couple years
673
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:23,870
looking for what's next,
674
01:16:23,990 --> 01:16:25,950
we found one thing...
675
01:16:26,870 --> 01:16:31,000
that where the trail ends,the next one begins.
