Charlie Kelly & the Repack trail are legendary in Mountain Bike lore. In July 2008 I rode with him and brought some camera guys along.
Repack is not a difficult trail by today's MTB or Freeride standards. Mainly it is historic and represents a birthplace of the sport. That said, it's still a very steep fire road, and particularly challenging if you are pushing your limits either riding up or bombing down.
I feel healthier having watched this- could just feel that mountain air! And there's no substitute for a filmmaker who's so clearly enthusiastic about his subject. I like the longer Director's Cut better, but hey, that's me. This is a nicely streamlined version for TV.
