Great video!! Done it ~10 times since 1990... it's just that crazy! Used to be, you couldn't really ride until you did 'The Portal'. It is short, but it never lets up either. Last time (2007?)we did it, had to hike-a-bike a bunch of sections that we used to ride. It's gotten beat up over the yrs. Still a great ride to notch the belt with.
I've been up there years ago. Nice riding crazy trail - tests your mettle... 99% of bikers couldn't ever think of doing it without walking as little as you did.
@philavenger90 hahaha ya you little sissy, Even XC. losers riding UP mountains..good for you have way better endurance than me, but I hike my heavy ass downhill bike to the top, sit down and crack a few tall boys, smoke a few joints, smoke a cigaret, and Then let gravity do its thing as I effortlessly mob down the knar-core with 9 awsumly plush inches of travel while hucking off 30 foot cliffs..I have a dirtbike that gets me UP hills reallly fast.
@heartythunder rather than post it on youtube for jerks like me to comment on, I turned them in to SPONSORS so I get free shit, a littttle more useful than u tube
Great riding in this vid, nicely done! I'd definitely agree with you on the difficulty... rode both this past weekend (first time on Portal) and Portal makes the end of Porcupine seem like a stroll in the park!
Very very nicely ridden. I haven't been down to ride it this year, but hope to this month. Your video will help me make it through another week of work!

Ha, I was watching this and suddenly I noticed my palms were sweating. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to ride it thru your eyes.

Great riding and terrific filming! Also an exceptional choice of music! Helmut cam and the Pixies makes it seem almost surreal.

@MrCliffDescent "even xc"? I hate this mentality that guys who ride cross country don't ride challenging and technical trails.

Balls of pure steel my friend. That's a nice vid. I'd never ride it so it's nice to see what I'm missing.

In my opinion Portal is a 9/10 difficulty, Lower Porc would be a 6-7/10 :) The exposure here is exaggerated by the wide angle.

That looks a lot like Jacksons trail we did across the river. A bit higher though. Wonder if we could make it happen on our motorbike?
