Too scary for me. I'll stay with my trike.

My favorite place to ride!

This preddy?

Where's this?!

MUST I SAY GOOD CLEAN FUN! I WENT SOME WHERES UP THAT WAY TO A PLACE CALLED SLIPPERY ROCK AS A KID 7 OR 8 ITS WAS SO COLD WHEN I HIT THE WATER IT TOOK MY BREATH AWAY! I LOVED IT. ❤😊

Was considering if I should do the lower portion. After seeing the river crossing in your video, I think I will pass lol. Good vid, helpful

Just got back from CO last week. It's stunning out there. I was with my wife and we rode Buffalo Creek's Little Scraggy Loop together. It's so different compared to what we have back east. Beautiful views. A few years ago I rode Maryland Mountain. It was a bit above my pay grade, but you would be fine. Check out Hard Money. So many alt features on that trail and there's an even harder trail there.

When did you buy him this?!?! 😅

... I think you need a different nd filter and exposure setting

Such a rad bike for your son! Was that weight with tubes? Those XR4 tires are extremely light. Considered them for my latest tire setup but I couldn’t resist the big yellow logo brand.

thanks to you I have installed mine easily !

Def some great trails here. At 5:55 there is an alternate line on blunderbuss that gives a straight shot at that hip. I think since you rode they opened up chimney up to yhe fire road. Rather than coming down gateway you can hit the upper part of chimney which is pretty flowy!

Bars are inexpensive, they seem a bit wide for your son.. Could change out/cut, and increase later as he grows.....but it's all feel/preference.....just looks too wide.....cool bike though!!

That is a nice bike, but it is HEAVY (15.4 kg) for 120mm trail/downcountry bike. I have Fuel ex 8 gen 5, with Fox float X, Fox 36 150mm and 2.6 tires with tubes, that bike is around 16kg, so bigger bike with half kilo difference. IMO bike like Top Fuel with that amount of travel and that heavy doesnt make sense. It should be lighter...

Your studio audio is coming across mono (I'm hearing just the right channel) while the rest of the audio comes across stereo. Makes your videos difficult to listen to. Consider fixing your studio audio to record in stereo.

Man these trails are in my dreams!

Love the helmet Insta360 cam. Quite the nice, unique placement to give an awareness of the trail and rider.

Do they wait until each rider is finished before releasing the next one?

Where is that?

I see you ride a Ripmo. Just like BKXC. You guys are two of my favorite riders. Excellent technical and downhill skills. I live about 1.5 hrs. away from Charlottesville. I'm hoping the Blue Trails in that area will be my next adventure. Thanks for showing me around.

Why doesent ibis show the weight per model of the ripmos? How much does your ripmo way

Is the process the same for the mt5e but just with the addition of the brake sensor?

Red Diamond is my fav trail in GWNF by far. Good vid

What's your saddle height from crank center to top of saddle? I'm 6'2" with 35.5" inseam so probably OK but curious how close I am to the seat tube collar.

Being relatively new to mountain biking, thank you for these videos! We are around the cville area, besides river view and Darden towe, do you know if any decent paved bike paths or even very easy trails like what Darden towe turns into. I have a 1.5 year old I pull around in a bike trailer with an almost 4 year old on a mtb. So the easier for them the better haha! My wife and I have searched but haven’t really been able to find a whole lot of info for these types of bike paths. Thank you sir!

That’s my boy!!!

That’s my boy !

york riva rocks…especially the bobcat trails….

Just rode this yesterday! The climb up copperhead and top shelf was brutal though. I Would def recommend climbing moonshine to get to top shelf and run left to right. (Down)

Your bunny hop off was impressive!

Awesome!

Thanks! Looks like fun!

Thanks for the review. Any updates on this? Did it last a year?

You can go up on a motorcycle

Thanks for including some complaints. I'm getting frustrated with online research. Not sure why almost every article & video tries to make everyplace sound like the greatest thing ever.

Keep the flow

good time with lil floco 👍🏼

I was in Arcadia all last week after seeing your trail peek of Pine Ridge and Little Cove. We did apple orchard>Cornelius creek, the Spec/Dody loop, Pine Ridge and Little Cove. Climbed the Devil’s Marbleyard on an “off day”(highly suggested). I’m going back for Terrapin Mtn and the trails around Little Harkening later this year. That area was absolutely beautiful so thanks for the recommendation. The second part of the trip was supposed to be Blacksburg area to check out Poverty Creek and McDonald Hollow but instead pointed North to Davis,Wv on the way back to Pgh to shorten the drive home a bit. I’ll be taking the kiddos to the Blacksburg area in the summer for sure. Thanks again for all the info.

Nice review although the fact you were following someone with thoer lights on stopped me from being able to properly see how the light performed most of the time. But there were some short sections where it was just you so i got to see it. Maybe try to do more of you on your own so we can get a better feel of light alone. Thanks good review showed most of what i needed, about to purchase one for £45 so definitely worth it.

Awesome vid! I'm staying near Richmond for a few weeks, but the area seems to lack the stuff I'm used to riding. I may try and get to the Charlottesville area this coming weekend. Any suggestions for some good XC miles to log? Climbs, descents, tech & rocks welcome! Thanks in advance! New subscriber here!

Hey man! I'm staying about an hour or so east of Charlottesville (near Richmond) for a few weeks and was looking to log some miles on some XC trails in the Charlottesville area. Climbs, descents, techy / rocky stuff is sought after and welcome! Any suggestions? I've been checking out your Utah content this morning! Awesome videos! New Subscriber!

Nice!

Excellent vid again FoCo! Love the descents here - savage uphills 😅but well worth the effort. Beautiful little park too as shown here with good car parking/facilities.

Man you just went for that road gap! Good thing you and the Rimpo are tough. I think my spine would have exploded!

I need to check this out 👀

These trails looks sick Forrest!!! Nice mix of tech and flow. Bummer about the dropper issue, but I love the old school technique ;)

Can't wait. Maybe May 2024. Thanks for the Video & Information!

Where is this?

Awesome man!! What parking lot did you start at? I was there a few weeks ago for the first time and parked at the McDonald Hollow lot. Not sure if that was the best out of the other starting points.

Excellent video again. We enjoyed Prickly Pear trail a bit further to the north - some really cool rock gardens. Gateway Trail all the way out to the car park was a superb way to finish - so much fun and a really long descent (just getting used to how long some of the descents are in VA - definitely makes the climbs worthwhile!)
