Yeah honestly Evolution was my favorite, loved those wooden features. And then Atomic Dog was awesome too because it was a bit more natural and the natural features are what make places unique, like the wallride that I completely goofed on.

its a pretty sad trail. could be so much better. i vote that we should have the shire crew rebuild it.

Thanks so much, I appreciate you watching!

Yeah I’m generally a solo rider. I think there’s mountain lions in 90% of the places I ride. I just see it as part of the risk, just like surfing and sharks.

This is a GoPro 10 with the Max Lens

Yes I do, I should probably start adding them to the video description. Did you want to see my Strava for this ride?

Yes if u would like to share it that would be cool

Yeah it’s kind of the perfect little gap since it’s kind of a step down but it always scares me each time I hit it 😂

@@HobbyGoblinTyler biggest gap I've done is 7ft. took me a while to get up the sack for it.

That’s huge, nice job. Yeah kind of like with skiing / snowboarding, a lot of stuff will work out just fine it’s mostly getting the courage to try that’s difficult.

It's a 2020 Santa Cruz Bronson. I believe the color is Matte Olive. Full suspension. It's been an awesome bike!

i heard they are adding new things to it. Are they finished or still working ?

@@ptony3883 I don’t know. I haven’t been down there yet but I am planning to this summer

This was my first time here but I had read an article just a few days before that they just finished adding an additional jump line, that’s about all I knew was new though. Some stuff still covered with tarps and closed for the beginning of the season, not sure if any of that was new as well.

I mostly live in So Cal as well, this place blew me away. Will probably be doing more road frequent trips up to the PNW, there’s just too much good riding up there.

Haha you’re dope! 💙

Thanks, yeah I’m still working up to the bigger ones. I think really the speed is what trips me up, I always do a brake check before hitting something.

@@HobbyGoblinTyler A quite normal reaction.

Yes I meant to go check out the other side as well but I got lost haha. Will definitely check it out next time. What's your favorite trail in the area?

@@HobbyGoblinTyler I like trails on both sides, however the Sycamore Cyn side I prefer as I think it has more technical places and I like the bigger elevation changes. Also the trails on like strava or trail forks names as well as what people call them isn't always the same.

Yeah I’ve noticed that quite a bit, locals using different names from Trailforks or the trails not being on there. I travel to new trail systems a lot so I rely heavily on Trailforks

This is The Circuit gym in Bend, Oregon

oh ok

Yep that's exactly what happened, bike shop said it made more sense to just get a whole new wheel rather than do all the work to replace the hub! I have SRAM GX actually.

@@HobbyGoblinTyler Interesting. Mine was an NX which uses an HG hub. When it broke, I figured it was a good time to upgrade to a GX cassette which uses the XD hub body. I was hoping my new XD wheel will be a more reliable design, but sounds like that may not necessarily be the case. Oh well, fingers crossed. Have a good one

Thanks! And nope, I'm on a full suspension Santa Cruz Bronson. I'm sure people ride this on a hardtail but with all these drops it would be pretty rough haha.

Yeah plenty of ruts to look out for this spring!

I can't wait to get back here and get lost again haha.

Nice catch 😂! But yeah this spot is awesome, great for a quick ride after work or getting someone out for their first ride or even progressing your own skills

No problem, have fun out there! Check out the trails on Peavine too, I have another video of those if you're interested. Much more climbing but they're definitely worth it. czcams.com/video/8lVKNVko-XU/video.html

Definitely check it out! People seem to always think of Tahoe around here for biking but it’s impressive some of the stuff Reno has. Makes me wish I started biking when I was growing up here!

That's totally fair, especially if riders aren't used to a jump being there on a trail that they know really well. Seems like it'd be hard to maintain good jumps with that kind of soil as well.

The spot with the sign was a good jump. Till someone kept making a lip on it. 😢

That's frustrating. At least the drop on that trail has the ride around. Optional features are generally the best of both worlds.

By the way, great video 👌

Thanks I really appreciate it! Hoping to get back soon and ride the rock feature on Peaches and explore some of the other trails out there.

Thanks I appreciate it! Loved this trail, it’s pretty famous for a reason.

Definitely lucky here in California to have such a huge variety of trails!

I'm riding on my 2020 Santa Cruz Bronson. I've had it for about 3 years now I believe, my first full suspension. It's full 27.5 and I've been looking at maybe getting an enduro 29er in the next year or so but it's tough to decide which bike, would love to do some demo's at bike parks this summer. Thanks for watching!

lol I’ve been looking at getting some but for the most part the vans have done me pretty solid. What shoes do you recommend?

@@HobbyGoblinTyler anything with a stiffer sole. You will still have a lot of pedal feel and grip but have more stability and probably a little added confidence with that.

That's fair, I definitely don't always have much confidence in the vans. I've heard good things about the Ride Concept shoes as well.

Ride Concepts and Five10s are good. Leatt makes some good ones that I managed to find super cheap on sale. But for regular looking shoes that will feel like regular shoes while still retaining a good sole, I don’t think anything beats Ride Concepts.

I'll have to check them out, the vans are getting pretty slippery lol

Just took a look at Trailforks and yes that’s exactly right, it breaks off of The Wall on the peak before you’d hit Pinball. And honestly that ride down Scott Canyon is more action than some entire trail systems!

These are in Loma Linda. There's a city park equipped with playgrounds and a dog park at the bottom parking lot called Hulda Crooks park. That's what this trail network is commonly referred to.

I believe on Trailforks it’s called South Hills Preserve as well if that helps!

Yeah I looked at Trailforks like every 5 minutes out here and still got lost like 5 times.

That makes sense! I always prefer ending with a downhill and that was one of my negatives about this place, except I'm sure that ride up the grade is tough, that is steep but at least the bottom part is paved.

The ride up Shooters is much easier than the ride out of Chrome. 😊

I did quite a bit of walking on the way out of Chrome haha. And hiked up Shooters this time after the mechanical issue with my bike. A lot of walking this day unfortunately.

There's a little bit of everything out here and the climbs aren't too bad.

Then pump it up

@@Yukterez its got a hole

Gotta go tubeless if you haven't already!

@@HobbyGoblinTyler seems like he already went tubeless, otherwise he could just swap in a new tube and go. i go with tubes, and if i have a flat i just swap in a new tube in 5 minutes, but if you're tubeless and the hole's too big your screwed

Yeah that's fair, I've had really bad luck with tubes when I've used them but if they work for you more power to ya.

We're lucky to have such a wide variety out here too, but I'm hoping to make my way east this summer and Pisgah is definitely high on the list.

Yeah this trail system is wild, definitely pushed my limits.

@@HobbyGoblinTyler Cheers!

Yeah this definitely wasn't the place to go flying in blind. I always take my time on the first ride down a trail, especially somewhere like Rocky Peak.

Thanks! Yeah this place is no joke. A few close calls on some of these but I survived it.

Thanks for watching!

I was actually blown away looking at Trailforks around Vegas, it was really hard to choose where to ride. I almost went to Bootleg but ultimately went to Ike's. Anything in particular you'd recommend for next time? And definitely, I'll hit you up!

@@HobbyGoblinTyler Lets do it. Burbs: No Dabs, Tomahawk, Wicked Garden, Supply Chain, Shared Delusion. Over by blue diamond : Ebb and Flow. - Henderson/Mccullough: Trail Mix and Break it till you make it. Cowboy trails are fun. Britney Fears is a blast.

Awesome, I love the trail names out there! I’ll ping you next time I’m out that way.

Yeah I'm really excited to get back out here and explore more. I think interesting tech and rock features definitely make places more unique than flow and speed. Plus not a ton of elevation here so it's easy to hit a bunch of trails in one ride.

@@HobbyGoblinTylerYep, more time becoming a better rider and less time trying to become a fitter rider (aka dying hunched over your bars)

Thanks I appreciate it! Got lots of videos coming up!

Thanks alot I appreciate it!

Thanks! Yeah this place was very cool. There were some small trail signs that made it easy enough but with trailforks it was no problem. I brought my bike in my van. My drive from San Diego to Vegas was around 5 hours, not too bad for a holiday weekend trip!

Thanks! I'll definitely get an EMTB one day but for now I'm staying Analog. Whatever gets people riding!
