My Best and Worst Mountain Biking From 2021

I was gonna send that concrete drop the flat. I think so. We're gonna do threshold which actually used to start up there. It's a race course and we would charge through here. It wasn't quite as bony but we used to race it. I'm not sure if this is a great warm-up trail but whatever. Yeah good save Phil. I'm tempted to try like a unofficial line off of any style. Oh yeah I know what you're talking about. You're gonna try that? Thinking about it. I've never done it. I've always wanted to try it so let's give it a go or I'm thinking about giving it a go. Okay so the line I'm talking about is right up here. I've always wanted to hit that drop. All right let's see how this goes. No brakes. All right okay. All right that went better than I expected to be honest. Let's clear the camera because this section is really sketchy as well. All right not bad. Got a little bit of a hip right here. This is it. I cased it last time. I need speed for this so let's get going. All right yesterday my headset needed a lot of greasing so it was super creaky. Okay that turn has gone way greasier. Yep I think I heard you say the K right? K-M-E-T-Z. Yeah you haven't been back in so long. No it's been like I don't know why. I have no idea why. All right well first lap. Straight into a race run. No warm-ups. You never know what you're gonna get on this channel. Okay there's a turn there. Pretty sure I bent my bars. They feel really funky. Oh man. Sure was sick though. I wonder if I can bunny hop over that. I tapped it. Did my back wheel go to the side? All right ready when you are. All right let's do it. I was almost sweeping myself off the course. My foot blew off at the top of that last chute and I was going through all one footed. I might try that line that I told you about. Inside line. If you go off that I think you can get to the embankment a little bit past it. I love these kind of gaps. We'll hit the vert roll into the reggie. All right let's see what we got. This could be a catastrophe. I don't think I'll ever send that to dirt but I think I used to gap off this. Are we good? I came over that gap and I saw a bike to the side. I was like okay that's not good. All right this is one of the gnarlier trails I know of. Start you off with a nice hooked up flat then it gets rowdy. All right what the hell. I can't ride. All right so gentle giants. Apparently this trail was only put in about a week ago and Zach here who's a local is showing us around. Okay this trail is sick. I was certain that was like a flat for somebody. Oh you kicked up a rock. I think I missed a transition. I think I missed the landing. Oh my god. Okay this stuff should have worked fine though. This stuff has been open so. Dylan do you think you can gap these two big rollers up ahead? Yeah. All right dropping in. All right so let's check out Big Brutus. That jump's nice. Oh that's a really nice jump. That is very very well built. It's funny like a lot of times like people ask me like they want me to do something like the secret trails. I'm like dude I'm not gonna blow up a secret trail in like one of my videos. Yeah dude that would not bode well with the locals here. All right let's do it. Looks like there's a line over to the left. All right so Lunch Lady actually has been a trail for a little bit but it's kind of a secret trail that all the builders and employees here knew about. But are you good? It doesn't sound like you got a flat. You dropped it. I know. Almost had to call the medics. So I'm not exactly sure where Waka Waka splits. I think it's like right about here. All right this is fun. Oh in the middle of a race course that's that's mean. That's really mean. All right yeah it's through the tech way. All right so this trail has this cave boy and it has like a flow trail which comes in right there with jumps and that had the natural way which we just did. And it's like dropping behind this trail. I have to stop talking to concentrate. And then there's a rock drop that you should look at because it's very unintuitive where you take where you go. Is this a drop? So Dylan and I used to be on the same race team a while back and throughout our career. So we actually don't ride with each other even though we live like not far from each other at all. Hi is this jump gonna be too short? Okay. When did you learn those? Claire made fun of me for so long for only doing one-footed tables and I had to learn something. Man I'm so scared to learn them. All right this is fun. So yep here little tight wiggles all over the place. Oh my god this is fun. I don't know how this looks on camera but All right here we go. I was gonna say easy does it but. Nice work Phil. High five. We made it. This is the one that I remember being the steepest. Yeah it's steep but they put a catch berm at the bottom now. That was cool. You ready? Yeah let's do it. I don't know if they've made these easier or something but I feel less scared to hit them this year than I have in the past. These are the ones that get really big. Whoops I have not hit this. Oh my god. I was worried that would happen. I wanted to go right there. Oh this is awesome. Whoa that is sketchy. All right this trail is sick. So this trail is considered a blue which I kind of disagree with. It shows to me a little bit more like a black. That's okay. All right so we literally have like half the mountain. All right I have Blake in front of me and so deep. I lost a few. Sorry man. Yeah just if you are following me over that big one after the drop it's big so just like beware. Let's do it. All right I have not hit this in a very long time especially since they've redone it. Apparently to jump after the turn is scary. That was a goonair. Whoa you can actually see this time. Last time I was doing this I was on my 27.5 130 mil bike so I have a lot more travel these days so hopefully it should keep me out of trouble. Whatever you guys are doing let's do it. Kid's got some style and some boostage. Oh nice. I haven't done those since the time I was at Thunder. Oh that's a sneaky line. I dig it. All right let's actually get this. Once it's wet you have to ride really defensively. So seems like I'm not like attacking the trail. You'd be right. Not even close. All right this traverse up here is so sketchy. Actually it didn't go too bad today. Clear off the lens. Oh yeah this is good stuff. This is what I like to do right here. I'll stop after the teeter cannon so that we can link back up. Yeah. All right sounds pretty simple. Ready? Let's do this. These features are a lot of fun but they're really tight together. So I'm going to give him a little distance because the teeter cannon is going to come down. I need to time it. There we go. All right now we're rolling onto Elmer Fudd. Is that why you brought us here Dave? Is it that bad? That's pretty cool. All right let me know if that one's coming. All right dropping in a local favorite here. All right into some sketchy root sections. That was not the line. So there's a section coming up right up here that gets pretty hairy. I mean. All right so we have Nick Frick's leading and Dave Lieb. I always say Lieb. It's Lieb. It's a bad habit. Okay. All right they're gonna do something That was really fun to watch. We are going to go this way and then pretty soon it's going to cut back. Okay. And then it is like a straight open like just wide open fastest. Man I don't gotta tell you. Famous last words. Oh yeah. And into all the skinnies and fun stuff. I'm surprised I got that. You good? Yeah I'm good. I did. This one I went a little bit too deep on. So I'm a few years older than Logan but we were in collegiate at the same time and I know his brother from racing and he was a lot quieter because he was a younger brother. You don't hear about him but he definitely be stuck with it. Could have been a world cup racer himself. I think that there's a bunch of different ways you can do that section. So the trick is to stay right off the drop to miss some of those rocks.
