Dang, great editing in this one! Your videos have come a long way this year. Having just ridden Mammoth for the first time myself a few weeks ago, this vid really captured the good vibes.
gotta get some shock therapy and dc 10 . 32 years riding and living around this mountain gives a real meaning to 4 seasons . thanks for the positivity on our scene
Incredible. Three days of park is beyond my endurance, at least so far. I spent three days at Northstar opening weekend this year, and I was incredibly beat that last day, such that I ended up landing on my face wearing my half-shell. No harm done in the end, but a suboptimal end to a very rad weekend.
Man you guys really make riding in sandy conditions look so natural. I know i'd be all over the place. Sick video Alan, this park looks like a ton of fun.
@@mtb_alan Completely fair. It's a heck of a lot further than Summit, but for longer trips, the mountain never stops giving. Plus, there's nothing like using your bike as a ski in that litter!
Great video, I went there mid-July and also had a blast. I missed out on a few trails though, so guess I’ll have to remember them (e.g. shotgun) for the next time. Thanks for showing the different trails.
Nice video. The terrain out there is so different that what I ride in the Northeast. Very cool to have a ride buddy with a camera so it is not all first person rider video.
Wow that is the 1st time I’ve seen any one at this bike park and seems like there are heaps of trails. Very dry and loose and love the wooden features 🤙🏼 great riding Alan 👊🏻
Thanks! Yeah, Mammoth is a big mountain and there's plenty of room to have a good time! With the shuttles and the village nearby, t's pretty easy to get around especially on the weekends when Chair 2 and 16 are running. Good stuff in Mammoth's village and good, hometown stuff in town.
There's 2 great trails out that way, lower rock creek 7miles long and an old skool wagon wheel trail w the best views and tech in that area.... great video!
Sick riding Alan ! U rode like a local !! This video brings back lots of good memories and me and AAboys can’t wait to go back to Mammoth!! Such a rad place !!
Great riding! I don't think I could get into riding those desert trails, it looks so loose, like you are riding on a beach half the time. Great video though!
Great video Alan. I ride there about 6 days a season and you do a great job of highlighting some of the main trails. I agree following a local that knows the lines on runs like Velocity and Follow Me will make for a great day. Also getting a feel for how to link the different trails efficiently without climbing will make for a fun day. If you ride on the weekends and chair 2 and 16 are spinning you should be able to get up and down the hill with no climbing at all, here is my go to main runs in each zone. Gondola to the top: -Off the top -Kamikaze (Eliminator) -Shock Treatment -White Bark -Richter Mid Runs (McCoy): -Velocity -Twilight Zone (Ride Chair 2 up and repeat) (Ride upper Brake Through and get over to Flow area) Chair 16 runs (Loop and link any of these runs): -Flow -Pipeline -Follow Me -Shotgun -Smooth Operator
Great tips! Our first day was Thursday, so we stayed near McCoy and at one point took Twilight Down to the bottom of chair 2 and grabbed a shuttle back to Main Lodge. But wow were we stoked on chair 2 and 16. At one point, the gondola had a line out the door, so we just rolled down the road to chair 2 and kept on rippin'. Thanks for the trail sequences. We did most of those. And I didn't realize Eliminator was Kamikaze. That's good to know. We missed Shock Treatment. I also wanna check out Chain Smoke, Techno Rock, Bullet DH, and DC-10. Though, those might still be above my pay grade. 😆
Hey Alan just want to say I discovered your channel today and really diggin your edits man. The transitions, the fast cuts, the music, the shots you pick, the humor and the riding!!! Apart from the other mtb youtubers this 🫡 subbed!
Man, that shell in the intro reminds me of some great drives up the 395! Thanks for presenting a great video of mammoths trails! if youre ever short of a driving buddy I'd be happy to volunteer!
Ayyy bruh glad you enjoyed our park! Some potential highlights if you come back next season- Shock Treatment, Velociraptor, and a full 3000+ft decent via all of Skid Marks and Juniper. Techno Rock is also sick and has drops like Velocity.
Cool video, the eliminator is actually a bike trail and those berm jumps on twilight are quite easy if you just take them high at the start cut them low at the end.
Hey here's a quick tip that you may not know! If you want to get some quick runs in without paying, head out to the trails around 5:30 after the ticket checkers leave and you can just ride on in and shred the trails for free with no worries of getting caught! however you can only ride the lowers of all the trails because obv the gondola is shut down by that time. My favorite run had to be velocity (to) twilight zone (to) downtown (to) pipeline (to) shotgun. Hope you have/had a rad time out there!
Thanks for the tip. Sounds like the same kind of thing happens at a lot of bike parks. FWIW, I don't mind spending money and contributing to the rad trails I'm getting to enjoy. 🤘🏾
riding these trails all summer desensitized me to the difficulty.. love seeing you guys conquer these trails. ( ps. i lacerated my kidney on those boomerang pavers a few weeks ago xD )
Great riding. Love to watch your videos!! Hope you will be riding with your fellow German CZcamsr Freeride Flo in the near future. He is also sponsored by Giant. Maybe he will come over to California to visit. Let's see what 2023 has in store for you!!
@@mtb_alan we have a weekend trip booked for Snow Summit 23rd-25th and praying they will be open by then. If not, might be calling an audible and go to Mammoth.
1:09 No distortion lenses exist. I have one, so I don't have that issue. But I don't know if they fit the newer cameras. I have a GoPro Hero 7 with PeauPro87 3.37mm(19mm), it captures 87 degrees. I just chatted with them, the Hero 10 lens is glued on, they tried to remove it, but they can't without destroying the camera. So no hero10 for me then.
Yeah it is! I'll have to check those spots out. Thanks for the suggestions. We hit Mammoth Brewing and a pizza place in town...name of which I can't recall, but it was hella good.
Alan, noticed you were wearing the Smith Mainline today but you also frequently wear a Fox. I’m looking to order a full-face this weekend so if you had to choose one, which would you suggest?
If you want a trail full-face, I'd suggest the TLD Stage. For a bike park full-face, get one that's DH rated and find the one that's comfortable and fits you well. Ideally, your local bike shop will have some you can try on. I always sacrifice some comfort for safety at the bike park since we're going so much faster and bigger there. The Smith Mainline is meant for both trail and the park as it's DH rated. I tried one on at The Path (my local bike shop) and dug how it fit and felt. I find it to be a bit too heavy for trail days, so it's my park lid. Hope that helps.
Snow summit is 240 acres vs Mammoth is 3500 acres, and Mammoth has a summit 3000 feet higher in elevation. Mammoth is right around 14x larger, so really no comparison.
Mammoth is great for more gnarly trails and epic views. Summit has those sweet, perfect jump lines. Mammoth is more like killer lift access to more natural trails with some features and jumps thrown in. Snow Summit is more bike-park-y with manicured trails and jumps with some raw stuff thrown in. Both are a rad day!

I do not understand how those cheese grater looking things do not shred riders to mush when you crash on them.
I love watching your videos. I wish I could find someone to teach me how to edit like you do. I am such a beginner at it and only have been using the Quick GoPro app on my phone to edit my videos.

Likewise man! Thanks for showing us the ropes! 🙏🏾
Dang, great editing in this one! Your videos have come a long way this year. Having just ridden Mammoth for the first time myself a few weeks ago, this vid really captured the good vibes.
Thanks! The additional cameras (Preston's and the vlog cam) have helped me step it up some.
Yeah! Mammoth is good times!
gotta get some shock therapy and dc 10 . 32 years riding and living around this mountain gives a real meaning to 4 seasons . thanks for the positivity on our scene
Thanks! DC-10 looks gnar lee! But I’m gonna check it out next time. Thanks!
Dude, your beard-moustache style is killer 🤘🤙
🤘🏾
I live here in mammoth the bike park is great. I'm glad you had a great time!!
Thanks! You’ve got a rad park!
The follow cam was super fun to watch, and Preston is a shredder. Good times
Thanks! Yeah, Preston rips!

Glad you were OK. Regular HIIT and weight training helps with MTB fitness.
Man you guys really make riding in sandy conditions look so natural. I know i'd be all over the place. Sick video Alan, this park looks like a ton of fun.
Thanks! It took us a little bit to get a feel for it, but once we did it was a lot of fun!
You guys are head over heels for Mammoth!
LOL! Boom! 💥
Mammoth is my favorite place on the planet.
🌎 ✅
I live in Bishop man that’s pretty cool glad u enjoyed our beautiful backyard 🤙🏼
That place is a blast!
Heck yeah!!! I love mammoth so much and this is super sick! Love velocity and that spine is tricky to get, nice work!
Heckin' A! Mammoth is a blast.
Thanks!
This place looks like a ton of fun!
Yeah man! It’s a good trip.
Thanks for the adventure. Great riding. Smart to know ones limits. Respect
Thanks! I gotta get back there and bang out those features!
@@mtb_alan no rush. By the time you do it will seem easy and just fun. Thanks again for the vids. 🤙🏽
Velociraptor, chain smoke, those are good ones too!
🤘🏾
nice! Can only dream of trails like this from an Eastern bound guy.
Just dream...or travel!
Favorite Mountain + Favorite MTB CZcamsr? Perfection.
To be honest, I really didn’t know if I would like Mammoth or not. Turns out, I loved it!

Rad man, rad. Love it.

just got back from Mammoth, I would love to ride with your guys! I am running a 2023 Specialized Enduro.
Great job Alan, You can see your progression from day one to two is huge! Also the best Mammoth MTB vid i have seen!
Yo! Thanks for the kind words.
Yeah, I definitely felt like a different rider after I got a feel for the terrain.
Nice video. The terrain out there is so different that what I ride in the Northeast. Very cool to have a ride buddy with a camera so it is not all first person rider video.

So fun!!!! I’m coming on the next mammoth trip 🥳
Yes! Missed ya out there.

Thanks! Mammoth was a blast!

Great video for showing what Mammoth feels like.
Thanks! That was one of my goals!
Your editing skills are rad. Shotgun was my favorite; my fork pressure went up in Mammoth and went OTB there😂
😆 hope you’re all right.

Ha! Thanks. We had a local to fast track us. Yah, I wish I could get back before the season ends, but looks like we won’t be back until next year.
Love the video. Your editing is fantastic too, so much attention to detail!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Dang that's crazy
🤘🏾
Great riding! I don't think I could get into riding those desert trails, it looks so loose, like you are riding on a beach half the time. Great video though!
It’s not as beachy as all that. Don’t knock it until you try it. 🤘🏾

Thanks Chris!
I have a Full Stache with 29x3.0” tires. Not a typical “bike park” bike but those 3” tires could be fun on kitty litter.
🤘🏾
Love Mammoth, takes time to get used to the kitty litter. Once you do corners are rad!

Yo twilight zone is a great trail and if you aren’t comfy with that first half lower twilight is super easy (for me at least) and it’s super flowy.

Never been, looks amazing! Keep it up!
Worth it. 🤘🏾
