Living my Best MTB Life

Hey guys, well, here we are in Auburn, Alabama, headed to James Brothers Bikes. Alabama! There's Squirrelly Davey Jeannot, Thomas the Trail Engine, and Ricky Ricardo the Redneck. Woo! Blub, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub, blub. ♪ There's a place for us ♪ ♪ Where we could go, where we could be alone ♪ Made it to the bike shop. ♪ City lights, we don't have to ♪ So we're gonna jump from putting beer into it, and then we're gonna jump to the canning process that's right over here. So the process is- So the first step, you gotta know how to put it on here. And the second step, you gotta do this. It's pretty crazy. We're gonna enjoy that later on in our camping trip. Stay tuned for that. This. That is Chewwacca. And I think- Look, that key. Is there anything? What do you think's going on? So here's the entrance. We come down through here. We're camping right here. The brown circle. Hey guys, we're at Chewwacca Park. We got rain for Friday night, so we are actually- I'm just gonna do some skills challenge in the field, and hopefully the trails open up, and we can ride them later. We're kind of waiting on it. But here comes Dave. Oh, I power bumped it. There you go. Didn't fall. That's all that counts. Spin it from my back. Oh, you did a little tire grab on there. Definitely got a little brake action. That was good. You know the seesaw? So we got a little seesaw action here on a log. Can Dave manual off the end of the seesaw? He's gonna come in hot and go for it though. Almost. I think you can get that. Ricky, I bet you can do that. So Ricky's gonna give it a shot. We're gonna try to get the seesaw and manual off of the end of it. So that would be back tire hitting off the seesaw first. I think he got it. Yeah. Nice. Will you just pull up and roll off the end? There you go. So we just rolled up on the section over here. Looks like we got a big booter jump here. Fly out jump, a little pump track coming around. Let's throw the helmet on and see about some runs. That was pretty big. That was pretty cool. Nice little underneath the oven and over. Got it for a solid 35 seconds and just went for it. It says, you know what man, there's the big jump. It was awesome. Glad we did it. Good way to start the day. Get the juices flowing. We got a couple of spectators. Hey everybody. Thanks for coming out and watching. All right, well let's just jump right to it. This is gonna be a combination of rums from Tube City and Pipe Dream. But I wanna go down it again. Okay. Yeah, let's do it. I mean, that pace was good. Second time around, you'll really know what's going on. Yeah, exactly. Whoa, whoa, whoa, foot down. I didn't know about that. Plenty of sketches of the bridge gap. You go underneath it. You ready bud? Oh, my balance sucks. That's kind of awkward one. Big lily pad. Probably the biggest lily pad I've ever tried. I didn't jump off it last time. I was super tired and worn out, but look at this thing. And you can see the height difference here. You really have to hop on. You literally actually hop up here and then hop off. It's like a hop to flat, so it's kind of weird. Not exactly flat, but there's a small transition here. And then here's a little double, little small double sco here. So first run, that was pretty crazy. I definitely think people should warm up, but again, first run of the day. Hit the jump line, hit all the drops. Besides the road gap. This road gap is still really scary. You just can't see the landing. You have no idea how far you're going on this thing. It's pretty wild. You kind of just roll right in. You roll right in like this. Boom. It's a pretty big gap, full commit. So I don't know if I'm going to do that, but we're going to check out, get some more runs in, see how we feel. Run number two. No speed, full slow motion. It looks like I have bailed on doing the road gap. Just not feeling it. Can't hit every one of the features every time. This thing's pretty aggressive looking. As you can tell, you just kind of roll right into this thing and that's that. Boom, road gap. A lot of road gaps will be step downs. This one is just a straight road gap. It's not a step down or step up, just straight road gap. I think it's probably like 27 feet, but straight road gap. And I'll try it again next time. Chihuahua Park had all the necessary camping needs that we had. So we got our food going and started setting up our campfire. Sitting around, talking to each other is the best part of camping. And the Ranger Dale told us about an old water tower tucked back in the woods. Everybody's lights worked out great for me. Oh, that's awesome. You can get airdropped out of here. Don't worry about that part. Oh, creepy, creepy water tower. Creepy people near the water tower. What the hell are you doing? Ricky, what are you doing? Ricky, Ricky, what if there's a witch out here named Blair? What are you doing? This is Dale's trail. He's the main Ranger here. Giant wood rollover into a giant wall ride. Let's smash this thing. I think I'm gonna go ahead and wrap up this day. Big shout out for Thomas for, again, showing me around Chihuahua Park. Dave for having a camping chippy through here. So definitely check out Squirrely Dave. And don't forget, pedal a little harder, don't touch the brakes, and we'll see you on the next adventure.
