My friends we are still in Spain the one day that I recorded in Spain ended up being so epic that I split it up into two different videos this is the afternoon ride chasing daylight an amazing downhill run I think you’re going to enjoy it oh here we go get clipped in

Ah there we go inot riding behind me for the first time and I’m probably looking like a fool Zumi up ahead both of our guides oh oh Big Rocks big rocks wow so both of our guides are from the bass country from Doug’s Village and there were just guys that

Dug road with and had other jobs and he said hey you want to come be a mountain bike guide okay I got to focus woo this was actually a race course in the trans Nomad I remember riding this with Doug a few years agoo oh man yeah just another 4,000 foot descent after

Lunch wo zai is a amazing Rider all the guides are ah you took the fast line oo can’t see nothing I’m a little more wary of the sniper rocks woo trying to stay loose okay how did he jump that oh yeah rest break good very good very good so at

Some point during the trip I had perfectly hit a rock where my rear derailer cage peeled back like it opened up it didn’t do any other damage my chain was okay the jockey Wheels were okay but as we were riding down this run in yot kept hearing my little peeled

Back cage tinking Ting Ting Ting hitting against rocks as we were going down and he was like Hey we got to cut this out we got to clip it off or something because this is this could be dangerous good idea good guiding yeah because I was listening and

I heard a couple what was that on the no is Brian bike yeah so we get the cage all dialed in it’s starting to get dark and remember I just did a giant massive hiab bike Adventure before lunch this is after lunch now and it’s so easy to take

Your hydration for granted and say eh no big deal it’s just a shuttle run it’ll be over quickly but as you can see from the previous shots when we’re getting the cage fixed I am still drinking and making sure I’m hydrated and there’s only one thing in my bottle that I trust

It’s today’s fine sponsor element I’ve always been pretty good at being able to survive a ride without getting cramps staying decently hydrated but then maybe two or 3 hours after a ride that’s where my symptoms would always kick in that’s when I would get a splitting headache and I would be like

Oh maybe it’s the elevation maybe it’s the drive in the car but I’m sure it was always dehydration if you’re getting headaches cramps just general tiredness your electrolytes are probably out of whack you’re probably dehydrated element is here to help it is zero sugar Stevia sweetened fantastic tasting and extra

Salty the element thesis is out with sugar and in with salt they believe that most people especially active people who get out and sweat a lot need more salt in their diet not less to perform their best I have tried so many different electrolyte drinks over the years and

Element is finally the one that tastes fantastic keeps me charged up but doesn’t make me jittery doesn’t mess with my stomach and doesn’t have a half pound of sugar I’m pretty sure if you give it a try you’re going to like it but anything’s possible an element does

Evo I couldn’t last that extra 15 seconds inot just got a rock to the shin and he’s going to tape it up yeah poor rock look at the and so imagine how is the rock now the rock is destroyed little compression so Doug was telling us a great story

About one of these guys on the trip that didn’t want to get their shoes wet so he took his shoes off and he threw them across and one of the shoes just went down the old waterfall just disappeared and he had to ride the rest

Of this ride with one shoe and a knee pad or maybe an elbow padow pad taped around his foot on flat petals then a tube oh a tube tape little cushion yeah well I always have extra pair of shoes in my bag so you know easy I think my shoes are getting wet

Trail it takes like an hour and a half to get down and we got down in maybe 32 minutes or something like that a new record for them even with taping up in yot shin and messing with my rear derailer cage this kind of stuff is out
