The Kona Darkside

[Klemenzauk]

The Kona Darkside - Takes No Prisoners!

Off here in May with the lads. Think I need to start riding across suspended rope for practice.

[trev1968]

nice technique!

[MrLewis850]

were is this ?? and will it be ok for a decent skill level rider ???

[maverick7654321]

thats one way of preserving the moorland!!

[jamsinker]

I went and rode the dark side this summer. What a great fun trail! First time I've done it but I loved the technical challenge of it. Got a bit sketch in places riding clipped in, on my Giant Anthem but somehow managed not to put my feet down at all. Sick trail for practising skills and a great video, Cheers

[krabkore]

Its not downhill nor trial. Just stupid sniper training

[woothoofoock]

I've got great respect for those who posses the skill and ability to ride this, but don't you want to go fast rather?

[Downhill7645]

was bist du für ein looser ich bin 14 jahre alt und fahre schneller

[slobberdan7]

That looks completely unrideable. Some of those sections....man! Some people must session that stuff every weekend, that's the only way you can do it plus have a freeride bike with very low toptube....was gonna go to Ae Forest but think I'll give it a miss

[slobberdan7]

Not for me

respect for trying it

[TheCurls1]

congrats and well done to the trail builders-cheers cool vid

[Experiment1984]

[Vuntry]

[FrankFrankFrankB]

[bebes60]

This looks sooooo......  Boring! =/

[spsickfastsupra]

[frozone427]

[phinch1]

@TheRebelrider123

[johnshih]

crazy, i finished the whole video and can't help to wonder how long it took for the trail builders to build this trail, must took them forever.

[jamezj66]

so hard this dark side. some of it i thought was impossible.

[randomstrangerno1]

Now do it in SPD pedals! :O 

[KonaKingUK]

[skateboardcraze]

[goucharonaldinho]

[atecter]

[zook2k6]

Very cool video, could you have possibly picked lamer music?

[patrikk777]

I never understood the appeal of trails, can anyone enlighten me?

[SomeKrazyDude]

that a pretty cool obstetrical course

[evilpou]

So nice and long xD very nice job !

[ncayseele]

the slower you go, the harder it is

[lethaldoseofhate]

I'm pretty sure that this trail would piss me off; I could use the practice though. At least it's at a reasonable height. Props to the builder.

[0Gskier]

how long is that thing ???

[dildodave5000]

@0Gskier 3.8Km

[kyrieeleison1]

[thatguru877]

[lior994477]

amazingly hard looking.

[tanuki6666]

[dh4life100]

[mrt2ubitch]

[m3rcuryd3ath]

[mwaaaahahaajh]

wow that was awsome

[13Turok13]

man i wonder how long that hole thing toke to build

[RicoBlackfoot]

First part it seams like you go uphill in the wrong direction of the shore :D

[tommo292]

[motorheadaregods]

mabie forest in scotland

[paladinextreme]

nomames!!! esta de huevos!! no hay en Toluca, quien se apunta a construir un puente angosto pa el MTB en San Juan de las Huertas

[rangdaddy279]

that is the most technical trail ive EVER seen and ive seen a few and probs to the builder of the trail it would've taking ages to build

[2007neaves]

you should try it on a trials bike much more fun just dont get caught

[ryleerents]

this must have taken sooooo long to build

[usadretard]

i think they need to employ better builders. theres planks of wood missing ervrywere!

[ryleerents]

what no there isnt

[NothingButFame]

thats awesome looks like alot of fun

[uniJackson]

it looks like a five year old built that course, but good riding any ways

[mylifechoices]

damn good, sweet skills trail.

[Paul2032]

That is some hellishly good riding - incredibly technical stuff - the idiots calling this a waste of time should get their sorry arses away from their computers and ge ttheir arses into a mountain bike seat. Then tell us it's lame!!

[lizourazou]

MUSSSIIICCC????? PLZ! IST SOO COOOL

[konadawgrider123]

Mate u suck ass at riding the dark side

[nientara]

[robotserious]

[Marcelotaub]

[corrie686]

love the little fit!

Soo funny

I forgot how hard that trail was and how good the video is. props

[sickboyjif]

surely its time to try again ?

[Caza56]

If i am right there is a massive drop at the top of one of the hills, and i mean crazy you go of onto a rickety wooden platform for the drop and have a 3m drop and a gap. Someone needs to post a vid of that! Yeah you dudes done well

[Cbeaky73]

Wayyyy gnar

[d0ok13123]

blood on the motorway by dj shadow

[jugglerq]

That is raw guyz. I have a Trek 8500 harl tail with sick components and a good frame. I also have a gary fischer 29er which is hard tail. Would you recomend doing this with a hard tail or is dual suspension the way to go?

[dyoxiv46]

ATTABOYZ!

[scoter1]

I dont think most people would be game to even walk that track let alone ride a pushie over it, well done guys. My hat goes off to you for attempting it.

BTW Whats the music tracks yourve used, pretty cool.

[4x4doug]

Those are some long bridges but they are all at ground level. You need to build this stuff in the woods man! Preferably with some hucks in between.

[mastercuber]

did u flim this using a flip bike attachment?

[sickboyjif]

using a archos and a bullet cam (not mine though so i can't remember the numbers)

[rockguru123]

what bike where you using

[sickboyjif]

on a cannondale chase (2004)

[honestadisate]

super!

[yamahagoughman]

do it jugglin wilst riding back wards q;-)

[absurdny]

Cool. now do it doing a wheelie.

[shrimpofeating]

thats insane

[ownTer]

.......pimpie

[spudie2012]

Wow. Thats amazing. I have no clue how you do it.. but Very Skillful.<3

[trantzmediadesign]

that was SUPER GNARLY! well done staying on the bike as much as you did. 8:19 = CRAZY!

[mirich5]

nice

[wearethedestroyer]

hats/helmets off to you sickboy, just downloaded the tune too, great tune, commend your taste in music too!!!

[dasgemuse]

what are these "wooden risers" called? i'd like to resersch them and build a track in a national park in my neighborhood

[davidwebbbike]

they are called northshore or boardwalk, northshore being a bit more narly and including things like seesaws and drops.

[wearethedestroyer]

hey whats the tune off this, sounds fantastic!!!

you've inspired me, im definitely doing this in summer when i do the 7 stanes...

[cristalcrooks]

its a dj shadow track called blood on the highway (i think) of the album private press

[dbzfangurl]

its dj shadow blood on the motorway.

[fatbou111]

Hey Where Was U Riding?

[TESTIFY1991]

mabie Forest, South West Scotland near Dumfries

[LAIRDY67]

Outstanding to watch, music class, riding class...

[zantinge04]

good job riding it...when they built this, the cost of wood must have been extremely high

[proper0rocker]

i tried this when i was in maibe.

it is hard as and i salute you

[badgerofftheedge]

you guys make it look easy : )

[hough1996]

luv to try tht but just miss out the really skinny bits.

[cfinfroc09]

Nice Video. Skinny Section looks impossible.

[gaythorpe]

I cant believe i didn't get time to do this, was at mabie last week grrr, next time ill be their :P

[whitezombie93]

i went to mabie forest a couple of weeks ago and i couldn't find the darkside, so i just rode the 4x wich is pretty good.

and wer u riding a stinky on that?

[sickboyjif]

no i was on my old cannondale chase

[Sheddington]

Guys, Where abouts is this?

[richyro]

Mabie Forest, A few miles outside Dumfries.

[Organasm]

is this in uk?where?

[tomstickland]

I once rode about 3m of that trail. Walked the rest.

[mrfrikinfahrenheit]

lol i must have done 6 at a push :p

[csletton77]

Thats well ridden chaps. I rode that a year ago on my own and in the rain. I never expected it to be so hard. I fell about 15 times - bent my wheel, broke my derailleuer and snapped my chain. I also sprained my ankle in the process. Though I did manage to clean the narrowest part of the trail first time.

I'm going back in a week to exact revenge.

[stuntmandannny]

skills boys, did it at the weekend so know exactly what you went through. sessioned it for about 2 hrs and managed to chip a bone on my wrist on the way back to the carpark.

[Tufftyk871]

Looks great, although with my mtb abilities, i wont be visiting for a while

[amperwest1]

yeh i tryed that in 06 and failed

didnt think it would be a up-hill northshore trail. so there i was on my bouncy dh rig with 9 gears and i failed.... lovinf the "bastard" and the little screaming fit was inspired! lol

cheers and beers

ps doing tht on hardtails your fking brave

[shesAhugeBITCH510]

what happened to you toward the end of the video?

[sickboyjif]

after 40 mins of falling off and generally getting stressed out i lost the ability to ride my bike across a comparitvly flat rock so i decided to have a little screaming and shouting fit ! i felt better afterwards

[skatefarmerftw]

BAST'd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TESTIFY1991]

Aye, ur right there james!
