Who's ridden Mountain Creek? What's your favorite drop?
Never even been in USA 😂
Ride Creek all the time, bumped into you too. But those drops in this vid are sooooo above my pay grade..not in this life time..
The biggest i've done is the largest progression drop at the base of the mountain (next to phantom drop). You make this all look so easy!
Does the drop at the entrance to Alpine count??
My favorite drop is on dominion and isn’t really a drop, it’s the whale tail on the bottom part of dominion.
Im sitting in front of my computer at work, and this video just make me want to ride
overlogged mission accomplished! Thanks for checking it out.
Trail boss sneaking a suicide no-hander in there too. When I first started watching your vids I thought you were a trials guy who does a little single track. Then you throw down on huge drops and show off your jumping skills like they’re nothing. You really are a boss!
Marcus Troxell thanks Marcus
Wish i had watched this before Sunday. I was just there! Skipped the cabin drop 👌🏼✌🏼
Thanks for the video Jeff. Confidence inspiring indeed! Makes me want to ride and do a few drops today...
These videos are so fun and chill to watch, just flowing through the park.
One of my favorites videos. Great music choice goes well with your direction and flow. The skinnies were as crazy as the drops.
Thanks for this. Haven’t been there since 04 . Underestimated zone. Great rock and rough terrain riding. An hour from NYC in Jersey. Great DH history coming out of the 90s great advice
Hey dude! I ran into you at the covenant drop yesterday. Crazy coincidence because it was my first time at the park and I watched this video a bunch of times beforehand to prepare for the drops. Big thanks to you and Laura for the encouragement and for filming me!
Sick riding Jeff, been checking out your channel for a while now, definitely a big fan of the content you put out here for us. Ive been building up my confidence with drops, not anywhere near what you show here, but definitely gives something to aim for and progress to next season.
Excellent video. My heart skipped a beat a few times. Looking forward to going for my first time
Awesome! You'll love it
Dear Jeff, thanks for the reply, checking out this mountain creek vid, can't believe it but I used to live in Vernon right across the valley, pochunk mountain. Back then mountain creek was just getting started. They never had bike stuff then. The snow wasn't always consistent back then, they used to have to make it when they could. Nice that they found another use for the mountain. I still get two sons in Sussex county. But now I'm 6k miles away. Nice to see the landscape again thru your video. Thanks Aloha
That Anthem drop looked very interesting and you made it look super smooth, thanks for the video Jeff!
Great video! My husband and I listened to some of your podcast with Singletracks. You were mentioning the importance of taking time (30-45 minutes) with basic skills. I get lessons from an excellent pro-rider and she gives me the "how-to". Afterwards, my husband and I will practice wheel lifts with fallen branches set a few meters apart. Or we'll practice ratcheting up some climbs with roots. We love sharpening our skills and timing and have a great time with it!
Been about 12 years since I've been there for freeride. Really nice seeing road to nowhere is still there being enjoyed since 2005.
Never even cleared a jump here. I leaned to bunny hop and got a new full squish bike this winter! Plan to hit some of those drops this summer! Thanks for the video and I’ll be sure to use these tips!
That looks so fun. Gotta get that confidence!
the only thing more scary than a drop..are 6 drops..lol..good riding bro
mikieson thanks Mike
Wow man nice! I sure hope I can clear some of these next season
WOW,,,, I CAN'T DO ANY OF THOSE DROP!!! BUT, I'M A FAN. I'M JUST EMAGINING I'M THE ONE DO THE DROPS AND I JUST ENJOYED WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS... THANKS JEFFSKIE!!!!
Sick Trail Looks Super Fun
Tried that left line drop on tempest for the first time a few weeks ago. Landed slightly nose heavy and thought I was done for 😂. Thank lord baby Jesus I made it out. The lesson learned? Didn’t watch “How not to drop” enough times 🤣 Great video Jeff!
Excellent riding Jeff!
He make it look so easy,i wish i can do just one drop lol!!excellent skills😀👍👍
Great recap of the drops, and how to send them! You didn't mention much about technique, but obviously yours is outstanding, and you keep centered on the bike so you can adjust in mid air if needed. I see SO MANY people going off our big local drops with their weight WAY too far back, and if something goes wrong, they are at the mercy of gravity.
You've been doing this for so long that it's second nature to you. For newer riders, doing anything other than riding off the end of the drop controlled, just slightly behind the BB with a little handlebar pressure from a slight lean back, is a recipe for disaster. I see guys trying to hop off the end, and do all sorts of things that are just asking to slip a pedal and land without both feet on the pedals.
BTW...my favorite part of that video was your follow cam footage, and at the 2:32 mark I loved how the rider in front of you pre-jumped that wooden hump, and floated over the whole thing! Cool video!
Never been there but that trail looks like a lot of fun!
It's super fun, you need to make it next season!
I won’t be doing any of these kinda drops but they scare me just the same. Excellent videos.
Did the phantom on my snowboard a few times last winter. Pretty fun and seems easier in the snow ❄️
I love riding Creek and I've hit all these 👌🏻 my favorite is the cabin, massive but sooooo smooth
And you can hit the cabin on skis with a bit of snow!
Nice video Jeff!
Some serious drops there, great skills.
The Footpath Bandit thanks!
Have not been there in a few years! This makes me want to go back! Road to nowhere drop,is by far the scariest i have ever done! And thst was on a cove peeler! Could not Iimagine hitting that in a trail bike
that was really rad dude. took me back!
thanks dude
I see you throwing a no-hander in there. Great vid!
Never actually ridden there, in spite of being only 2 hrs away. I’m going to have to try Windham and Mt creek this next year.
Hope to get out there, don't have a lot of downhill drops in Florida
Man, I definitely have to add this to a list of places to stop in 2019. I'd love to ride there with you one day.
That would be rad!
very good video, i enjoyed it!!!
Urban Dropper thanks
Nice and smooth. You make it look way too easy!
Thanks Jeff! Now I got a cheat guid as to where to find them all lol
These are not tiny! Just got permission from my Doctor to ride again after 4 months off the bike (Achilles) - But the one thing he said as I left the office was, "No Drops!" :) - Guess I'll have to wait a bit.
Now thats another level of a video JL! Picture quality/ content/ audio and choice of music- just awesome. A little less music could even work better imo. Keep it up
I think he's using the Rylo in a lot of this footage, and we DO NOT want to hear that audio! :-)
Jeff...Have you considered trying the Hero 7 chin mounted with a lightweight full face helmet? I'm really digging the angle, and getting rid of the gimbal. This was 1080p 30fps, but it gives you an idea. I'm having a new PC built to handle 4K footage, so we'll see how that goes. You seem to be happy with the Rylo, so the Hero 7 may not appeal to you at all. I actually prefer the angle of view, and how I see where I'm looking. It would have probably worked very well on this drop video. The stability is remarkable.

I love the phantom drop
Not sure if the order you did these in was in terms of difficulty but I seem to have done some of these in reverse order. Phantom and the On/Off jump were some of the first features I hit my first time at Creek last summer. This summer I did pipeline and wanted to do covenant but couldn't seem to get a good day. I'd love to see you do this on the dominion jumps and that bigger table right before the entrance to Indy.
How not to do drops like " Raheem" lmao 😂 😂😂 😂 , great video!
anthem is by far the most tech one, its blind a bit of a left to get up on it. road to no-where may be more scary cause of the rock slab, but it rides good!
I hit the Phantom/Patio drop, but I haven’t hit the cabin and I wanna hit it next season because I hit every other wooden feature there
MikeRides MTB sent me here. Killer video. Just subbed.
Yesss. Thank you!
Just started riding last month. This looks like a good beginner track.
Jeremy Eden lol. Definitely not but most mountain bike parks have beginner to advanced trails in our great way to go and learn to progress
I was at creek last weekend and did the largest progression drop and the one on alpine... wanted to try phantom but man things in real life look so much bigger and scarier!! Lol
Made every drop look smooth. Nice riding 🤙
Dan K thanks Dan!
Sweet footage with smooth soundtrack to match - were you riding your Trance or Reign?
Anthem drop is old school tech 🤘🏻
I need to really slow down hard on the breaks or I would land flat which I can say for sure from experience of blowing my front tire on the covenant landing
Great video!! I’m a motocross guy getting into mountain biking. Would a Specialized Levo ebike be able to handle these jumps?
Finally got them all… except Cabin😫 RIP Cabin Drop
Great video man! I'm new and practicing! These are above my paygrade right now but I think I could hit Pipeline with a tow in maybe!!
Where do you get your stock music? Very awesome!
Epidemic sound. I have a couple drop videos on my channel, be sure to check those out!
Awesome
ahh that was sick - has me stoked for next season already. I lost count, was that more than 6 drops?
I max out around 6'..... watching this, I 'bout shit my pants.... XD
Coool!
How do you build up the confedence to to drops/ jumps that big. The biggest I hit was about a 15ft table and cased so hard I bottomed my fork
Hey great content man, very well done! I'm struggling with a bike choice. Considering 5010 or bronson (2019). If I wanted to do drops like these, would the 130/130 5010 be enough suspension or would you recommend the Bronson 150/160.
THANKS
You could do it on a 5010, but theres not much room for error with that little travel. A bronson would be much better suited for these drops.
I guess the question is... will you be riding drops like this every month, or just a couple times each year? If just once or twice a year. A 5010 could get you by (watch the 50 to 01 crew on their 5010s). If you're hoping to do a lot of riding like this, i recommend a Bronson.
The 5010 will be more fun than a the Bronson on mellow trails, but the Bronson can handle big stuff better. Also take a look at the spot rollik.
Bronson. I have an Ibis HD3 (similar to Bronson). Don't feel I have too much travel or it holds me back.
At the end of last year I was able to do the tallest of the three progression drops what would be the next step after that
I see you are in Austin today. Getting in any other riding while in town?
Nice! Question: why do you twist your handlebars every time you jump? Is it a required technique to use or just for show? (Yeah I’m new to jumping) ;)
My favorite drop is pipe line
that's a fun one!
Don't see drop like this in the UK so I prob bottle out most drops don't want my process 153 dl to snap 🙄🤣🤣🤣
Great tips! Too bad the Flume drop doesn’t exist anymore
When you say pop, do you pre-hop the drop?
One thing i found while doing a scary drop is that fear may cause touching the break at the last tip of the lip. This is instinct and can be deadly, so I adopted death grip as the best solution.
The FIRST thing we do with ANY newer rider that is learning tech stuff...is FORCE them to get their finger off their front brake. I've seen more crashes from that than ANY other single issue. Rider crashes..."What happened?" "Too much front brake." Brakes are great, but oh man...they cause more crashes than anything else!
the road to nowhere was definitely the sketchiest!
Planning on doing alpine drop then pipeline. What other trail has jumps in between breakout and dominion?
There's some real little ones on upper Deviant and the progression drops that are next to the Phantom drop. Good luck! You got em!
How would a hard tail handle those jumps?
Does Mountain Creek Bike Park rent parachutes for the larger drops?
In which order would you suggest?
Complete shredder
thanks!
I forgot anthem still existed lol
Is there a good progression drop in between the largest progression drops and the phantom drop?
No, it's the large progression drop and then the pipeline drop which I think is an easier progression however it is a big jump
I would recommend hitting the drop on alpine as it is a little bit bigger then the largest progression drop. If you can hit that one then you are all set for the phantom drop in my opinion.
What day did you film this video?
Jeff do you think drops to Flat will damage my fr/dh bike
Skills with Phil had a great video on different drop techniques and I had a cameo. Check it out for some tips.
Have u Been to Rockland with the new pump track
Jack Calandrelli I haven’t. It’s it good?
Yes it’s really good and the Rockland staff worked on if for a long time. Their work Payed off!
What bike are you on ?
