 @ Chalky, The first section is a trail Vertigo Bikes for helirides, up on the back side of the Remarks. After that though, yeah Dirt Park. It's pretty hard to mistake that place, so awesome. But watch out for the Spaniards and the sheep poo hehe

 He rides that track so fast. Every one of those rocks would grate your face off no probs. And, every one of those spiky looking plants puts holes in your tires!!! I s'pose if you stay up right it doesn't matter!!!

 Never met the guy, but he seems like a genuinely rad individual. Like someone else said, the kind of guy you want to see do well.

Helps that he f*cking rips too...

 First part of the vid was over the back of Remarks which Vertigo use for their Heli trips. Second part on the DH track was in fact Dirt Park which was also used in Follow Me with Steve and Gee.
