What a blast! Me, John (Vivalargo) and his friend Don (new to muni but learning fast!) met up for a wild ride down “Devil’s Slide” today, and we really hit some good technical lines! It was also nice not to be the oldest rider for a change!
John is an old master at this stuff and for me it was hard enough just trying to match what he was doing! (It’s scary to think our me and John’s ages total 104!!! Don was the “baby” of our group at just 42. Way to ride for your first time there Don!:p)
I went for a lot of stuff that I probably wouldn’t have if John hadn’t been there rooting me on! And like John said in his write-up,[ Terry and his Video camera -- Devil's Slide ] this place is FAR more challenging than what the camera can show, but we tried to give you some of the best angles.
Anyway I hope you enjoy the video and thanks to the “Bibble” for the song suggestions! Speaking of which…In the credits I mistakenly switched the first song title with the group name …just shows to go ya I don’t know much about today’s music!

PS: I misspelled the title in the opening creds…guess I was just eager to get it posted plus I was/am tired!
Nice work. That trail looks like it would be hard to walk let alone muni. I can see myself doing that…in about a hundred years when I gain better control over my hopping
Nice riding Terry and JL. Nice filming, though I’m sure the angle looks tamer on vid than in person.

Another great one!
Definately the most challenging terrian in any of your vids
Yeah even in person sometimes. After I could consistently do curbs I was riding down a steep street, I thought “I’ll just ride off this curb,” came up to it and all of a sudden I’m like “Whooo!” But it was fine if I rode off it cauciusly though.
Yeah actually I’ve made a few other vids (posted here a while ago) from that same place, but the riding wasn’t as aggressive before, nor were the camera angles as effective.
Thanks, yeah we tried our best to keep everything as steady as possible this time around. And I’m sure you would do just fine on that trail!
PS: Thanks to all those who have seen the video and commented. Please post your comment if you haven’t already, John and I would appreciate it!
Thanks yeah that’s one of my very favorite trails…well, more like a MUni “Playground!” Except that last several times I rode there I didn’t do the hardest stuff, or even try it until just this last SUnday. Watching John attack the most challenging lines really inspired me to try the same stuff. Only thing is that we had done at least 50% of our riding before we decided to start filming, so we missed geting a fair amount of stuff on camera.
Don was the “baby” of our group at just 42. Way to ride for your first time there Don!:p)
