- Hey Guys,
Back in Jim Thorpe today, going after The Switchback rail Trail. The trail runs between Jim Thorpe and Summit Hill, Pa. The trail starts out following a creek up to Mauch Chunk Lake Park, then starts to gradually climb up to a Ridgeline at Summit Hill. Glad I had The Rene Herse Fleecer Ridge 2.2 Tires on, The Switchback trail is pretty rough especially past where all the tourists make it. The top half is a pretty desolate trail with wide views of the Lake and surrounding valley. It is hard to believe I haven't been up here to ride the whole trail, but finally had a chance. Hope you guys enjoyed the video, catch you on the trail.

I’m kind of late to the Switchback Trail party, but it’s now added to my list. And Jim Thorpe. I never even knew he was a town.
Definitely a cool trail, and a fun ride. Lots of history in Jim Thorpe, really cool town in The Lehigh Gorge.
Cool tires. I've never heard of them. You got me hooked on the Schwalbe Marathon's. As far camera's I'm just lucky to be able to use my cellphone...lol. I'm so impressed and thankful to all of you CZcamsr's. Your videos are so informative and entertaining. You put so much effort and time into the whole production. Just letting you know I really appreciate it. Looking forward to the next episode. Say hi to the "TT mascot" and watch out for them squirrels...lol.
Right on! Thanks. Its good to know people enjoy what im doing here. I will keep the videos coming. cat said "what's up?"
Cool video! I have a Surly Troll and I love it. Not much different from the Krampus. Great off road bike. Sounds like you're getting ready for the Divide. I've never done it. Pretty hard core. Been off my bike since November, but spring is popping around here and it's time to start getting ready for some summer touring. I respect your views on stealth camping. In a pinch, I would camp in that spot as well. Looked like shelter to me. Since you asked about the 360 camera... I like it. That might be because I just bought one. It definitely has it's place. I like the overhead, follow and front shots. Adds more angles and perspectives, always helps. I really like the "drive by" shots. Mount the camera in one spot, and in post add motion to the shot as you ride past the camera. Makes it look like you have another person there operating the camera. Nice effect. Take care, Bro. Looking forward to the next one. Hope to see you down the road. Ride on!
Awesome, Thanks for watching. Your videos are great. I guess I will be using the 360 as filler shots, for now. The drive by shots are really one of the coolest features. The Divide is something I have wanted to do for a long time, it is going to be really hardcore. Starting in Jasper, just wait for those drone shots. Spring is just about here, time to bust out The 87'. Catch you on the trail, Brother.
We definalty need to head over that way this summer. great video !!
You should! Lots to ride here. PA has 158 Rail Trails, insane.
Good vid. I have had the Surly LHT for over ten years and it's great. I put the Surly city bar on it and a Brooks B67: just right for my 73-year old ass. I think the town name is pronounced MAUSH (MOW, like in OW)-CHUNK. I'm from Eastern PA and that's how they say it.
Gotcha. Catch you on the trail.
Thanks for a pictuesque journey through PA. The Switchback trail looks like a sweet ride.
It is really a nice stretch of trail.
The view at the summit is my favorite. Love riding this trail.
Actually rode up there today. You're right, killer view.
That is an awesome trial. A lot of different terrain and so many things to check out. Bike is looking good. Take care, Al
Thanks for watching, Al.
I'm diggin that new bike. Nice setup...
You and me both!
Agreed on the 360 camera.. good for filler.
Filler is a nice way of saying "expensive and stupid"
Love the bike and the bars!
Me too, brotha.
Sweet! New places to go and such! I rode through town there once and those hills were no joke. On my list now, thanks man!
Glad I could help. I actually went back out there and found the true trailhead, as well as climbed Mt. Pisgah. It would be a good trail for My ECR,.... I mean Your ECR.
@@TravelingThru222 If you think of it, send me a link to the trail head
@@TheRickurb Cool
You definitely need a fly rod on this trail..
Awesome ride! 🤙
For sure. Super cool trail.
As usual a lovely video ... ENjoy Man wish you a safe bicycling experience.
Thanks for watching, be safe as well.
@@TravelingThru222 Welcome
That 360* camera worked good. The trail looks like fun time.
Great, glad you liked it.
That looks awesome YES it looks totally stealth without needing to be stealth I'm talking camp fire sure for sure. If I were on that trail I would definitely stop brew a coffee and eat a hot lunch than have a cigarette and take it all in oh hell yea.
You had a good day on the trail make sure you hook up Henry with something tasty.
Totally agree
360 looks like a giant fish eye ok for a couple shots lol..great video man!!
Oh yeah can i ride an electric bike or scooter on these trails?
Yes you can! Merry Christmas.
@@TravelingThru222 Oh thats awesome!Merry Christmas and thanks for the reply bro.Wasnt sure cause i saw a sign that said no motorized vehicles beyond this point the gate.
Nice trail. And I would camp there too.
Honestly, not a fan of 360 cameras. They distorte reality and I can't see the purpose of it. But that's your call to make, of course.
Cool, I’m trying to find the balance with the 360. Thanks for watching.
I wasn't sure about the tri bars but it looks pretty comfortable when your heading down the trail. I like the 360 cam but I could see not adding the extra weight on the Divide.
The Aero bars are awesome, can't believe I Roda across the Midwest without them. Super comfortable, and they just add to the speed. Not sure what Im doing with The 360.
Hey, love your videos! Could you tell me what kind of drone you use? In the market for one. Thanks! George M
Hey, thanks for watching. That would be The Mavic Mini.
I have to I’m not a fan of the 360 camera. It creates a distorted image, and makes me dizzy. But keep posting your adventures. They’re great.
Cool. See what I can do.
Love surly I have 2 a disk trucker and a pugsley
The Krampus is aggressively fast downhill, and so much fun to ride. See you on the trail.
mo-chunk
Yep, kinda weird.
