- Join us December 17-18 for our LAST group clinic of the season at Jarrod's Place in Northern Georgia.
@maximillianmitchell4380 is the newest member of the Trail Boss Academy. What better way to welcome him to the team than to take him on one of mine and Lance Trappe's favorite east coast tech trails. Ride along as we check it out!! - Zábava
Cheers for the locals tour fellas! Had an awesome time! 🙌🏼
Durn if didn't show em you can ride, your bad ass brother !
You got new subscriber... thanks for showing what canyon can do...
@@saddleweary2777 Thanks dude! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
@@mensuddevic8983 Much appreciated, thank you 🙏🏼 🙌🏼
Max made light work of those features!
New Jersey, the Rock Garden State.
I grew up in West Milford, NJ. Jungle Habitat was literally in my backyard. I am not saying this video was shot in JH but I will say it is a goal of mine to ride my mountain bike down there. I spent much of my youth playing around the section of JH known as the JH Safari when the park was still in operation. It would be super nostalgic for me to go ride back there.
great skills, but all the technical parts were uphill. i like the west coast better with big long(>3000 vert) fast descents. but glad you all like it
Great trail! Just the last week, so challenging but so much fun!
Awesome video, you guys rock !!
I love these technical features in NE!
Cleared that last one like nothing!!! 🙌🏻 That’s the one that got me… such an awesome trail!
Dude is killing it....very impressive riding 👏 👌 👍
You guys make it look easy! This trail is super difficult, at least for me haha
Cool trail. Lots of interesting sections. Max is quite the rider. Fun to watch.
Awesome 🤙
Great stuff! that trail looked rad. I would rather spend my day working through tech puzzles than spinning for 30 miles of xc trail.
you're in the splash zone brother!
Amazing technical ability.
Coming from the Denver area I would not be used to the leafy conditions. All dust and pine cone needles on hardpack until the last weather. Some great riding all around!
You might be surprised what you can handle, but I bet you can manage. I rode Colorado Springs for the first time this year and the loose stone "kitty litter" threw me off my game the first day or two, but I started to figure it out. Come ride the east and give it a try 🤟🏼 You got this.
These are tech vids are great.
Leaves damp he had no prob 🙌
Nice riding! I’m at the point in life where I love to ride, but I’d rather watch you guys ride the tech. A lot of fun.
I know it's not the Sourland Mountains but the terrain sure looks the same. Some really great double black tech there as well.
Fair dinkum. NJ must be the warm spot on the east coast -- it's not like that here. Max has that hoppy style of BMX riders, and on a little bike as well.
Lance almost lost an eye lol
At no point could I tell there was a trail lol

Cool trails Jeff, but I think Lynn Woods is the most technical, but I’m biased!
i million percent agree, this place is 2 miles from my house so it's fun and easy.
Either Jungle Ha it at or Allamuchy, but I’m thinkin Jungle
Almost geographically half way between the two.
Ahh perhaps Mahlon 🤔😜
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss TB or BM?
Great film!! West coast of Wales or UK? He doesn't ride like a cali boy. 😀
He's a transplant
Great job ! Which Canyon bike and size was he riding? Thanks
27.5 or 29er
27.5
You oughta ride with Dangerous Dave.
I'd love to!
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss yeah both of you are nuts! 😀
Brandywine?
If you don't mind me asking where is that? I'm in West Virginia but I've also done some stuff in Roanoke and Asheville and I don't recognize the trail?
There are very similar trails to this in Frederick MD look up “The Shed” (short for watershed)
This is pretty much every trail in Northern New Jersey state parks. Could be Sterling, Ringwood, Waywayonda, Wildcat, Mahlon-Dickerson, Jungle Habitat, etc. (isn’t but could be…)
It’s in New Jersey Dm me for info 😊
@@davidlewis1886 Sterling is in NY, just sayin, but your point is correct, I'd also add Allamuchy to the list
@@cyclewise6926Fair point. Right across the border. Yeah, definitely Allamuchy. I was thinking Stephens, which is more chill, but even there you can find this stuff.
I'm sure the camera compresses it all but on the whole, this looks like my bread and butter Stockholm area blue rated trail. Is there anyone here who's been to the trail on the video and to, say, Hellas and can give a quick comparison?
Personally I think the keeping it secret thing is lame. For me being part of a cool MTB community is about sharing cool stuff. I’d love to be able to go out and hit the same trails using these videos of super skilled riders greasing the technical parts as a reference. Obviously these skills could be applied to any east coast tech, it’s just a missed opportunity to make the video even more motivating and helpful.
I agree 💯 and believe it or not the trail builder loves when we show his trails. It’s other people in the community that have problems with it and it’s annoying so I’d rather avoid the drama. That said, if you live on the east coast or NJ just check my strava heat map for the closest trails to Sparta, NJ and you can figure it out easy.
Yeah I agree. People like that are lame.
Sometimes keeping quiet about a trail has more to do with the politics of the area... I'd absolutely love Jeff to come try the stuff we ride but most of it is on private land with a tentative and precarious privilege of access. People build new trail and if it's done in the wrong spot it threatens that relationship... Having Jeff shoot a session there would (be amazing) bring more traffic which would be the beginning of the end which some say is already happening due to Strava. I am very content though with is sublime crushing of Surf City and Wicked Hard.
It's REALLY sad we're not allowed to ride in Watchung and that the mtb trail system never happened. Some people who wield political power really ruined what could have been a great thing. MD is quite far for many of us just like JH. All the way back into the 90's I used to ride South Mountain Reservation, i was dating a girl that lived up in LIvingston and would take my bike, drive up before traffic hour and get in a ride. Then they started clamping down on mountain biking, even had my bike impounded and got a ticket. Some of our counties are seriously anti bike.
East coast tech is fun but it doesn’t teach how to ride fast, a skill needed out West.
