Long time loyal Path customer here. Tani and his staff are an amazing group. Congratulations Alan.

Congratulations. It was your videos that led me to the Path for my 2019 Bronson and I’m happy to say because that initial experience I’ve been going back and the Path recently built me a rad Vala!

The second camera angle is better and it’s NOT aimed too high, don’t lower it! I hate when a camera is pointed too low. It makes me constantly try to look higher. I’d rather see more of the trail and not the top of the bike. 🤘🏻😎

Heck yeah! The Path is the best. Congratulations.

[LifeOfIvyQuinn]

Aww, man, that's sick! Congratulations on having such an awesome sponsor that gives you access to a whole stable of rides!
I look forward to see which you ride and which you like!
Keep that shiny side up!

Shout out to the path bike shop best in the biz!

Cool! Will love to see your bike checks coming out this year!

[LoamReaper]

I know a lot of folks like the Path, but I lived/rode in the OC for a dozen years and never had a good experience with them. I wish you better luck!

This highlights my dream to become a bike shop and sponsor charismatic good-looking hunks that are mountain bikers! Haha congratulations brochacho.

Awesome Alan! Now put a 60 mm rise on it and let it eat.

Alan officially starting his bike reviewer era. I'm here for it.

[ridewryan]

Kind of assumed this was what was going down. Much love to The Path.

[MTBQandA]

That's one heck of a bike garage you got there! Awesome! Congrats as well!

[rockandchilimtb]

Yeah, under visor is gives you a wider view of whats going on but you should point it a tad lower. Congratz on your new sponsor!

[lplacido]

Congrats on the new sponsor! 👏👏👏👏 Had to grin when you "had that evil laugh" !!! 🤣🤣🤣

[TheMirrorVision]
