Cool '14 EC300 Mountain Goat

So, my awesome boys (2 & 4) like sitting down with the old man to watch dirt bike videos prior to hitting the sack for the night. We regularly watch Graham Jarvis and any hard enduro footage I can dig up on Youtube. Last night, I was looking for something new to watch and stumbled across this video:

I've ridden in some crazy areas with vertical drop, but this is pretty nuts. You know it's steep when you can actually tell there's an angle through the GoPro video...lol.

Awesome find. It looks a lot like trails we reopened in Southern Oregon.

Nice! Amazing how much grip these bikes can find in that really low bogged down rpm range.

Just a little off camber. It looked like he got lost at some point because he was doing a lot of looking around.

Hmm looks steep....
Can't believe he made it on such a heavy bike lol

Is that bike really a '14? Still had the red Sachs shock reservoir and black forks (possibly Sachs? Though looked to have 'WP' stickers on them??)
Looked to me like an Australian '11 Six Days model.

Also how impressive is it the bike didn't appear to boil. Try doing that on a pumpkin.

Perhaps the 14 refers to the year it was filmed?
