@simplesi13 well i can only speak for florida, we do have some good riding in florida. it is dedicated to mtn bikers. here are a few names for you to "youtube" search. "alafia, Florida"; "vortex,ocala florida"; and another good one is "markham park, miami, Florida". What you should expect to find in all these places in good technical riding, rock gardens, and small jumps (execpt vortex). Florida is mostly flat w/ little contours. you wont find 30 min uphill w/ 10mins downs. hope this helps :)

@dpineiro123 : apologies for the delay...back at University doing my teaching degree. I will bear all this in mind. Hopefully, one day I will get to Florida again one day. No "troll"s on my site in recent weeks thankfully!

@simplesi13 Yeah some people can be an ass, but its rare to find someone level headed. im a biker too and enjoyed you vid. I bike here in the States, FL to be exact. i have done some great stuff here too. Beach rides, 40 mi rides (paved), and commutes to different places in the city. i have also done some pretty extreme stuff on a reg basis; like 50+ft rollers greater that 60 degrees, rock hopping, blazing rock garderns, and one time hitting an aligator! :P

@dpineiro123 : Do they have dedicated mountain bike courses in the States/Florida like Glentress. I did some "tourist" riding on Miami Beach and in Yosemite a few years back, but never any serious road or mountain riding. I would be quite interested to know in there are equivilants of the "Seven Stanes" in the States. Sadly my trip to the States was in my pre camcorder days and I have nothing but memories. Loved all 3 trips though. 22 States covered! Simon

@simplesi13 you cracked me up about morgan freeman; its one thing he is not, and thats a "Free man" lol. btw didnt mean anything by the narration comment. :)

@dpineiro123 : I know. I don't mind criticism and the utube system does encourage free comment which is cool. I have had a couple of comments which go far beyond criticism (not on this film) and are just plain unpleasant (all from my fellow country-men). I just delete them and block the user. The films are just for fun and for me to look to back on when I am too old to go biking in Scotland! take care

@simplesi13 one more thing, this park is my fav bc not too many people know its there. Boyette, Florida. search "Boyette fl mountian biking" good stuff.

@dpineiro123 : fair comment. Narrations are really difficult and its a rare skill and ideally I should write a script (but time prevents me doing this). I would like Morgan Freeman or Liam Neeson (whose narrations i admire) to do it. But they cost and I am free!

[dpineiro123]

nice views, but the narrator is a bit dull
