Cool video, except the info on banana spiders. No Florida banana spider's poison will kill children, the spider you described is a Brazilian banana spider, which is one of the most poisonous. I've handled countless banana spiders in Florida, none of which bit me. They are scary looking but super docile.
If I could change the graphic I would, I just copy/pasted from google. Where is Jeeves when you need him eh?
Are you rocking a chin, Mount or a chest mount on your go pro ?
It's a chin mount, with the J hook clip to get the camera a little lower. I couldn't wear a chest mount in this heat, plus it makes hypersmooth work so much harder.
Do you think this trail would be suitable for a beginner? I have years of road cycling, but thought I'd give mtb a try. Nice video btw!
I wouldn't say for a beginner. But you have riding experience, so you should be fine. You might have to wait a few months now though, its closed from all the rain. But the other trails there are great too.
@inbermswetrust I decided to stick to the green trails and leave the more advanced routes for later once I get a bit more experience. Just came off the trail a few hours ago, and I really like how they're all interconnected with plenty of signage so you're aware of your location. This will definitely be one of my more frequented trails. Thanks
1:39 The Jetson's car sound lol!
and I'm over here like "WIIIIILLLLLLLMMMAAAAAAA!"
I wish I was your client!! How do I get on that free rental?
You gotta pay me thousands of dollars first. Lol
Where is secret monkey, I’ve been wanting to ride there and check it out
You gotta use the heatmap on trail forks to see it. You go in about 1/4 mile past the drunken monkey parking area. Hope that helps.
@@inbermswetrust thank you
w vid man! i subbed❤❤
Thank you! 👊🖐🤘
Miles of transit and sugar sand... two things Croom is famous for! 🤣😂 I'm avoiding that place until the rain comes more frequent. Good Ride!
I think the rain gods heard you! I'm doing the night ride at Balm next Friday, you should come out!
@inbermswetrust yeah, man! I'll see how the week goes.
Bro’s skill: 100% Bro’s camera: 360%

0:52 the rare Mike on his ebike. 😂
In standard ebiker etiquette. As soon as you catch up... he pedals off.
I live in the tampa area and have going to a lot of the parks around. Iv been really enjoying your videos, the quality is really great. Hope you keep making them
Thanks! I've got no plans on stopping anytime soon. Gotta have documentation for my kids that I did cool things!
Nice channel man, I subbed. I’ll def be on the look out for you on the trails, I ride a Yellow Yamaha usually, let’s get a jump train on meadows one of these days 🤘🏼
Thanks my guy! I'll be at Alafia next Thursday, and Balm Friday for the night ride. I'll have a sticker for you if you see me!
Which fells trails are these?
Thanks for watching my least viewed video! The trail is Dark Hollow. We entered from the Bear Hill parking lot. Trailforks for the win!
@@inbermswetrust Ahaha. Yeah, I am couch-exploring trails in the area. Thank you for the pointers!
You used the exact same method for the skinnies as me, try three times and say f-it and continue on!
It's the turn ,then the slightest uphill to lose whatever speed you had. Skinnies are such a borrowed skill.
How fast did you get up to ripping down by the power lines?
I think I made it past light speed, but not quite to ludicrous speed, I could almost see plaid. My guess would be around 25 maybe 30 mph?
Damn, I didn't know this place existed, i started refurbishing bikes last year and every time I'd finish a Stumpjumper or a Kona, i was kinda disappointed that i didn't get a chance to test it out on a real trail & here it is & here's someone catching some serious air in Florida nonetheless, right on.
Thanks! I hope you're getting those trail rides in now!
Thanks for the long form trail rides. Been looking at checking this place out since I’m originally from Orlando and Mt. Dora isn’t too far from there, relatively speaking. Gravity Destroyer looks awesome!
Thanks! It's over 2hrs for me (Tampa Bay) but worth the drive. Probably the longest descent in the state and the climbs back up are pretty mellow. I would say do Helter Skelter at least once, it's brutal and awesome.
I used to live in Florida and was into cycling, though I didnt discover mountain biking back then (2006-2008). I lived in Eustis from 2006- late 2007, then to Tallahassee for the remainder of my stint there. I worked at a Wal Mart in Mount Dora for 3 months. Off of Highway 441. Central FL was okay, but if I discovered this trail down there back then! Wow I might have stayed!!! LOL I live in Detroit Michigan and our local trails are very flat. If you could tell me where this trail is, I'd probably still know how to get there.
I agree, I didn't hear of mountain bike trails until around 2016. Had I known I probably would have quit smoking earlier and got more into this. Mt Dora is wild, being from the coast, 100ft of elevation is plenty for me
Great video, thanks!!!!
You're welcome! Bigger Thank you for watching!
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that gets winded at that place. Gravity Destroyer is prolly my favorite trail in Florida (at least within a 2 hour drive).
It's just over 2hrs for me, well worth the trip. The whole system is a blast to ride. I didn't even know there was a jump line, so I definitely have to go back.
That tree just jumped out at you like that? So disrespectful!
I know, right?! Maybe the park ranger can go have a little chat with it.
nice footage...insta 360??
Thank you! It's a Hero 12 with the Max Lens mod in HyperView and horizon lock on.
The last time I rode here was a few years ago and I needed a two day rest afterwards. Even my bike was a little shaken up too.
You need tom come back, its so new and improved! Can't say its any less brutal, but the stoke factor is way up!!! it has really changed over the past year or so.
@@inbermswetrust No question, I’ve never seen such an amazing series of trails.
Is the climb at the end of ravine that hard?
I mean, I've completed the loop once or twice to say I did it. But, Its not worth the effort if your an out of shape ex-smoker like me.
Alifia
Username is awesome!
It's certified by Mr Tonka and Sungletrack Sampler .. lol
Where is this? Looks like Florida
You're right! Alafia
I still owe ya those pictures broda
Oh yeah! I got a fresh TLD lid now too!
😂 "Is that thing for e-bikes"... Great ride and vid! How do you like that dropper lever? For your stationary bike, check out a BiSaddle split nose saddle, takes the pressure off your perineum which is causing that numbness.
I'm glad you get my humor! The lever is awesome, every hand position can push it. And the knurling makes it like fresh griptape. 10/10 worth the money.
Next build I'll have to give that lever a try. Current one is dialed in so I don't want to mess with it! I'm in the Tampa area and ride the ABCs a lot, hope to see you out there sometime!
@@ScaldedDawg Yeah man! I usually do weekends with the gang or weekdays solo. I need to get out to Carter again. They all about 1+ hour from me. I got the new "Vector Green" TLD helmet now.
Hellyeah. What trail is that around the 6:00 mark ? Thanks
Thanks man! The ONE time I get lazy and dont put chapters in.... Its Gatroback. I will be hitting that chute next time! (I've ridden it once since this vid and skipped it again, so 3rd times a charm?)
@@inbermswetrust Lol ! Thanks brother !!
Great videos, thanks!!!
Thanks for watching! What kept your attention the most?
@@inbermswetrust I like the POV and your comments. Thought it sucks how the Gopro hide the size of the features of the trail, last weekend I tried the gator back and it looks way scarier in person. I have to come back and try to ride all technical parts
@@tiagoweyne6661 Thanks for the feedback. I feel like the max lens mod helps translate the sensation of speed better. But your right, I'm not sure if there will ever be a solution, in 2d ,for the scale of things.
I’ve been riding here for years and I still can’t believe this is in Florida. And thanks to the brilliant trail builders, it keeps getting better.
For sure! Every week in random sections. It's like "oh that's nice now, let's hit that again!"
Any time on trail is good for the soul. Great ride!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I couldn't agree more-riding the trails is such a soul-nourishing experience. I'm glad you enjoyed the ride! 🚵♂
Beware of what? Alligators, maybe!
I'm no David Ogilvy, so this is the extent of my "creative writing".
I was probably up there the same time. June 17 through 22. Started raining our first day there and didn’t stop until the day we left. Had an awesome time though. We hiked bracken trail on one of the worst days
Sure was! We were 19th-26th, I think my kids have MORE fun hiking in the rain. Fingers crossed this year will be rain free!
That place is perfect for brand new riders and young kids getting introduced to off pavement. Penny did amazing and learned to stand up on bumps super quick... I've got 13 and 12 y/o nephews that still struggle with the concept! 😂😂 She'll be out riding you soon!
Thanks for the kind words. She absolutely loves it! I looking forward to the day I can't keep up with her, but savoring these days as I know I'll miss this.
hey, my daughter just turned 2yo, would you say she is old enough? thanks.
I would probably say go for it. Start small, like in a paring lot or field, so you can both get comfortable. Check out Ben Cathro's Series on Pinkbike czcams.com/video/OIsgiRgUhXw/video.htmlsi=m1h9zWRnx_wJ_aPm
That's so cute. She really likes riding and nature.
Thank you!
What go pro are you using ? Looks good
Thanks, Its a Hero12.
Ridgeline firmed up some? I rode it a month ago and was a bit soft from the rain.
It was quite perfect that day. Didn't feel slow anywhere.
Very Underrated channel, what bike do you ride very nice colour :)
Thank you! I ride a 2020 Fuel EX5 with some upgrades.
Wow thats a beautiful place to ride!
It really is! Florida has some magical places.
Balm Boyette can miraculously have a headwind going into the trail and a headwind coming out of the trail. IT don't make no sense.
Definitely don't make no sense!
Tell your friend SHIFTING is FREE and it has a purpose
Screenshot sent. He's better nowadays, but I still gotta remind him it's not a BMX bike.
Nice jumps at 6:00. Where is that jump line? Been there a couple times but my cousin never took me there. Thanks!
The trail is Lost Meadows. It was closed for quite a while for the work to make it this buttery.
Love the vids. Pains me to watch while im sidelined. I promised my wife i wouldn't jump anymore, but after seeing what Lost Meadows looks like, that promise is garbage.
LOL, tell her it's just a "blue" trail, no biggie...
Nice job, the "out of breath" is so relatable lol.
1 year later, I'm still trying to catch my breath!
I'll be down from NC in two weeks, looking forward to checking this place out! Thanks for posting
Fingers crossed for good weather while your here!
Great footage!
Thanks a bunch, bro, you're a legend!
That electric bike sounds like The Jetsons, LOL!!! 🙂
Nice catch! it took me entirely too long to find that sounds effect, but totally worth it since at least 1 person caught it.
Tell your buddy riding, in front of you, to stay on his seat and stop always standing. He will be a better mtb rider gettiing more traction on those steep climbs
I send him screen shots of everyone that rips his climbing abilities. I find great joy in it. We've had people say, seriously, "I can't tell if you guys hate each other or not" for the level of chirping we do. Keep 'em coming!
