You can't bet riding to some Army Of The Pharaohs, that makes any video a VOD!

They're not bad. Better than plowing through a weak/soft berm. These usually let you do switchbacks so fast that if you take them too aggressively, you find out [too late] that the exit narrows into the singletrack and you can fly off off the trail and onto the downslope. Good thing that they're consistent, so you can readjust for the next time you ride it.

My first run of upper twilight was slow and my bike felt like a bus, see :31-:45, and I didn't carry enough momentum to catch air off the rollers, so the rings further slowed me down. Second time riding it, something clicked, and it felt extremely well sculpted.

I guess you just need a few rides to appreciate them. They keep the trails sustainable. They're even being used outside of parks; see the Sandy Ridge trail system.

The pavers are super fun. I was sketched to fall on them but then I decided not to fall.

Ok stupid question...what are those pavers called? I was thinking those would be just the thing for some sandy berms on my home trails, but I can't find them anywhere.

That's why he's riding a Specialized he wants to be able to land it ! With out snapping a frame, that demo will handle it.
