Oregon Timber Trail - The Greatest Long Distance Mountain Bike Trail in the World!

- Three Norwegian friends tackle North America's new premiere long-distance mountain bike route: The Oregon Timber Trail.
The trail is an iconic 1 078 kilometer backcountry mountain bike route spanning Oregon’s diverse landscapes from California to the Columbia River Gorge. It is a world-class bikepacking destination offering incredible riding every day. It's designed with mountain biking in mind and consists of more than 60 percent singletrack. It runs south to north and travels through a variety of landscapes, communities, ecosystems, terrain, and, most importantly-mountain bike trails!
You can find the gear I used on this trip here:

We used 13,5 days on the whole thing and stacked up on food in Chemult, Oakridge, Sisters, Detroit and Parkdale.
Navigation:
I downloaded offline topographic map on my phone from ViewRanger and then loaded the GPX files from OTT on top. This way, you have access to where you are no matter if you got service or not. Worked like a charm the whole trip
Good luck, this is a good one! - Sport
It's videos like this that make me feel like I'm wasting my life.
There is an adventure around the next corner :-)
Thats nothing you do every weekend.. it must be planned of course :D
don’t do what they tell you to do. happiness > anything else
I can't emphasize how insanely good of an editing this is! This is one of the few videos that truly depicts the beauty of mountain bikingin PNW
i hope you guys make many more trips together!
Oh guys, what a Trip you made! ... and a Perfect video! I don‘t understand a word, but It doesn‘t matter.
I feel privileged to know of your channel. Nothing even comes close to the quality, effort, and joy!! You truly are riding the greatest trails in the world!!! Amazing
I know I feel like he is yet to be discovered!
Thank you so much Mitch. I really appreciate your kind words :-)
Lately I've been watching your videos every week as I do daily physical therapy exercises to recover after knee surgery. I've got plans to ride the OTT this summer and this video is giving me motivation to stay fit even when I can't walk or ride. Thanks for the inspiration! 🚲 🌋
Wow, thats amazing. Keep up the good work!
The OTT is such a cool ride, you should definitely look forward to it. About the setup: We are fully self supported with tents and food with this setup. The camera gear takes up most of the space for me :-)
I found this channel just a day ago and i can say that is a bless in my life !!!
:-D
This is one of the most inspiring and amazing MTB videos I've seen! Looks like a great adventure. Starting to look into riding this trail. Thanks for sharing, you have incredible video shooting skills.
Thanks :-D
@@JonasMTB is there a way I can get a list of stuff you brought on the trail. Thank you for your videos.
This is soooooo amazing!!! Thanks for the inspiration
You guys truly do things that most people just dream of
So inspirational.. it looks like so much fun...And now being almost 50, stuck in a dead end job during Covid... it seems unreachable. What have I been doing all my life? Respect chaps!...
Two days later: I watched the video again... getting my bike ready for a short ride
Go for it!
You may have a dead-end job, but the other parts of your life can still be open-ended adventures.
Hope you found your way onto, and stayed on, two wheels.
WOW!! Blown away by the beauty of your adventure and even more by the quality of your video :)
This is amazing! Professional quality. Didn’t understand a word y’all said but would love to do this trail one day 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You both know how to live. Your videos are inspiring
Thanks so much for sharing this... Absolutely beautiful! Every shot, every song, every comment... perfect!
Thank you Scott :-)
Well done, this video is great. I live in Oregon and you captured the beauty of this state perfectly. Thanks for sharing!
Love your vides! Especially your adventurous spirit, drive to do amazing trips in amazing places, great friends, very inspiring!
This was beautiful. Thank you for coming to my beautiful home state and opening me to an emotion I didn't know I could experience. Truly amazing to see it through your eyes.
Oregon
Jonas, tus videos son alucinantes y cada vez mejor editados. 🤟
This was amazing. Thank you for showing such love to a trail that’s right here in our backyard. And much appreciation to you three for making the trip and this video. 🤘
It looks like an epic experience to ride!
There are many of the bests ingredients of life here. Great movie guyz.
What a great find!
You do such a great job capturing the scenery and feel of the trail.
Thank you so much for your creativity and sharing your experiences!
Thank you, and remember, do be careful with that front brake :-p
Epic! Well done guys.
Wow, what an amazing trip! The filming, music and editing is what sets this video apart, great work 👍
Thank you Odd Magne :-)
This looks incredible! Great video definitely inspired to start training to ride these trails!
Absolutely stunnig video!
Absolutely Fantastic.
This is now on my list of things I need to do. Thank you for the inspiration.
I know, do it!
The Colorado trail is very epic and so is the Oregon timber trail. I just think that the Oregon trail is epic even though i haven’t done it. If you come to Colorado, do the Colorado trail.
Check out my Colorado Trail video :-p
I just found this video. Thank you for making us look *real* good. :-)
The Olympic Peninsula in WA is very nice as well.
so inspiring!
What an outstanding video, so glad I got the chance to meet you guys and participate (albeit a very small role) in your adventure. Your editing skills are amazing.
Superb! I’m impressed with with consistently excellent quality of you r videos. What a life well lived with great friends. Couldn’t understand a word but the talent and camaraderie is universal.
Love the vidz..gets me on the mtb.
Love your filming 👍👌
Beautiful video! Thanks
du hast dir sehr viel Mühe gemacht, dankeschön, prima Video, tolle Einstellungen und Slomotions. very nice.
Amazing videography :-)
Incredible
Grymt grabbar! Alla era videos är så härliga och inspirerande! Keep up the good work!
Tusen takk Christian :-D
What a great trip! I will have to get to Oregon and check this out!
Hi Rui, I just keep it in my backpack, at the top, light and fast :-)
Can't believe this guy doesn't have more subscribers. Amazing Vid!!!
What a shots, almost every shot is spot on! I really love the dolly shots and the drone shots (an inspiration for my own videos) Thank You and keep up telling your amazing stories!
I will Hans, thank you so much for the feedback :-)
This is the single coolest MTB adventure channel on CZcams. If you weren't speaking Norwegian, you would already have millions of views. But I like the tonality of it, so don't change :D It's like the Kraig Adams kind of nature filmmaking with bikes, a perfect counterpart to the usual biker influencers.
AWESOMENESS !
Beautiful
Man, u guys done another great ride. Jealous!! I haven't started mine yet😅😅😅
That was fantastic! I was going to just do a section this summer but now, maybe the whole thing!
Do the whole thing!!! Its so freaking good!
The best Mtn bike filming Iv'e ever seen .
Wow Tim! Thank you :-D
You guys are fantastic! Thank you so much for the stunning video! It has everything: majestic beauty, humor and some serious koselig! In retrospect it seems you completed the route just in time (before COVID + fires). From your new fan.
Thanks Andrew :-D
One of the best mountain bike video on CZcams. Masterpiece, epic, cinematic. You only upload a few videos but all of them are excellent quality & this Oregon timber trail is my favorite. Hoping someday will ride this trail also.
Wow, thanks! You should, its amazing!
Great video! I'm from Oregon and have been wanting to do the OTT but the last 2 years have seen so many devastating fires that closed huge portions of the trail.
Haven't even gone beyond the 1st minute but I know it will be amazing. That Norwegian voice is instantly recognisable to me :D
I have to admit that your comment put a big smile on my face :-D
Glad I live here in Oregon 🤘💕🤘
This is so beautifully shot and edited; Well done and thanks for sharing such inspiring content!
To add - I wrote this comment before reading others, and I now see that the word “inspire” appears not only in mine but in those of many viewers. It’s not a word I use or even see frequently in this context and to see it here in such quantity says a lot about the quality of your work. Subscribed!
Thank you for the kind words :-)
Absolutely incredible. I watch a lot of mountain bike videos and came across your channel today. By far the best I have ever seen. Mesmerizing and beautiful. I try making some MTB movies myself and can only imagine how much effort you put into filming this. Looks like a ton of drone launches alone. Your friends must be very cooperative in making these films since it is all timed perfectly with their riding. Very, very impressive!!
I am humbled by such comments, thank you very much!
I'm lucky to have good friends who can tolerate some waiting, because as you say, it takes some time :-)
Awesome 😎
What an amazing video.🎉
Alex from🇫🇷
Just dropped in by accident, and so glad i did. Excellent video work, excellent ice cream (-;
I know, the ice cream in the states rock!
What an incredible video!!! Shows off the trail so well and the shots you got on that a6300!!! Wow!
Please could we get a very quick rundown of your filming and grading process because this is some of the best I've seen from that camera!
A great tour ... nice pictures - good sound and very well cut,
good job !
Чуваки!!!! Это круто! Классный треил, классная панорама, байки супер. вы вдохновляете меня на новые заезды и сезон. Остров Русский меня ждёт по новому.
Hello My friend... Is really beautiful video 😍 i really liked 👍 thank You so very much
정말 좋은 영상입니다. 잘 봤습니다^^ 행복합니다!
nice trail
Amazing. I've been rewatching your videos all summer, waiting for a new one! After seeing your CO trail and Alps videos, it inspired me to go on my own adventure and bikepack the Tahoe Rim Trail in California a couple weeks ago with my brother! How did you develop your skills as a filmmaker? The first video on your channel is the GR5 which is incredible from the start. And what drone are you guys using? Amazing work!
Wow, thanks :-D
It makes me really proud to hear that these videos inspire others to go on adventures :-)
I just try to document my adventures the best I can. The drone in the last 3 videos is an Mavic AIr :-)
2:26 was anyone like damm look at them muscles
Hi Jonas, a beautiful and inspiring video, thank you. Did your team ride it the recommended direction - south to north? If yes, do you think that's the best direction overall for combining rideable uphill with fun flowing descending?
I don't need to see this again, I made up my mind, I am packing my bike up and going! Just bought a train ticket to Klamath Falls Oregon.
Thats rad, you're not going to be disappointed!
Sykt fett!! Takk for en utrolig inspirerende film. Slik MTB filmer bør være, med fokus på stien og syklinga :) Håper dere får tid til flere fine turer.
Tusen takk Bjørnar, det var et skikkelig sykkeleventyr :-)
@@JonasMTB Håper vi får se flere flotte filmer fra nye ekspedisjoner :)
Your guys videos have inspired me to take on adventures in my own backyard. I went to graduate school in Oregon and would love to finish this trail soon but have to get the Colorado trail done while I still live there. Out of curiosity what tires did you guys run on your Instincts? Looks like Nobby Nics but curious the size and casing. Cheers!
Hello Brian.
Well, both of them are amazing, so definitely something to look forward to.
We had NN 2.35 back and 2.6 front. Addix rubber compound
Riktigt bra, verkar vara en superfin tur! Bästa kanalen på tuben för MTB helt klart. Förresten, hur gick det för ödlan...;)
Tusen takk Anders! Uglen led ingen skade, så den kravler forhåpentligvis fortsatt rundt i Oregons skogen nå :-)
Hopefully these guys hit up a dispensary before hitting the trail
This is a great video it deserves more views! anyways I am planning on doing this but not the whole thing (200-300 miles), does anyone know which tier has the best trails and most singletrack?
Check out oregontimbertrail.org, it's got the tiers broken down with % singletrack.
Great video! I got to enjoy a small section of the OTT near Oakridge a few weeks ago. The footage is spot on with the incredible scenery. I'm guessing that you were running 29 x 2.25 Nobby Nics. Am I correct?
Sorry, you are wrong :) We rode NN 29 x 2,6 front and 2,35 rear... For us this was totally perfect on this trip.
Hi Jonas, this is amazing! Can you tell me what focal length you were shooting at 2:59? I noticed you listed a 10-18mm lens, but this seems a little tighter. Is it cropped? Thanks!
Keen eye, also had a small 50mm with me :-)
When did you ride the Oregon Timber Trail ? By the looks of it, was it in May and June ? Amazing pictures! Congrats!
Hello Jerome, we did it between late June early July :-)
HOLY SHT. YOUR CALVES
Wow you deserve more view ! +1 subscribe ;)
:-D
Scandinavian/Germanic ?! 🤯😅🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yep :-)
Jonas, du og dine venner slutter ikke å begeistre med deres eventyrer. Tusen takk for enda en strålende video med kanonbra, stemningsfulle bilder og hyggelig narrasjon. Oregon Timber Trail ser virkelig ut som en drøm. Og naturen er ikke så verst heller... neste like vakker som i Nordmarka ;) Lurer bare på hva som skjedde med salamanderen ved 7:25?!
God tur!
Hei Julius. Tusen takk for flott tilbakemelding. Jeg vil si dette er helt på høyde med Nordmarka ja :-D Ingen salamandere ble skadet i denne produksjonen, så den kravler nok fortsatt rundt i skogene i Oregon i dag :-)
Hi, Jonas! Just coming across this video now... What an unforgettable tour! Question. Would I research XC bikes to do this type of touring? I am an experienced gravel and road bikepacking but not mtb. I am looking to do the type of terrain and riding from your tour. Big thanks and hope all is well! - Jeremy
Hello Jeremy. Depends on whats your main focus. You can do the trail on a light travel full sus bike, but I would not change a thing on my RM Instinct, the descents gets so much better!
What part of norge are you folks from? I hear folks from there come to Wa and Or to mountain bike a bit. I’m new to mountain biking and love it. I find it so interesting you folks come here to see our landscape, I was trying to move to norge not to long ago but found out it’s just about impossible. But I am still learning the language, self teaching everyday for about 4 months now. Det går bra. fin video, takk for at du deler.
Tusen takk! Oregon har helt utrolige stier!
@@JonasMTB I bet brother! Idk if you have been to thrillum, cold creek, murpheys grade? These are just behind my house and I can’t wait to check them out.
Great trip and movie! What bikes are you riding?
Hi Rocky Mountain Instinct :-)
English version. I live on this trail pretty much
So Jonas, you should use english in your beautiful videos, so more people will be willing to watch them. Det er bare oss nordmenn som får noe ut av norsk, så engelsk vil gjøre filmene dine mer tilgjengelige for fryktelig mange flere mennesker! Alle burde se disse filmene. Vakkert laget! So yeah, give English a try. Try just one video and see if it makes any difference? Beautiful video as always 🙂👍🏻
Would you mind telling me which part of the trail yall road?
Are resistance band weights accurate?
How come you guys don't use larger Seat bags? Is it comfortable riding with a 30L on your back, for the trip I just did with my buddies I used my seat bag (16L) to carry most of my stuff and had a 15L backpack with additional 2L of water bladder space. As well as having some things on the frame and handlebars. But I felt like the bag on my back bothered me less than the seat bag swaying around.
I try to have few moving parts on my bike, but it depends on riding style and how much you carry in the backpack I suppose
I'm curious how you found the land compared to the Alps.
Hum, the land, like the trails or the culture? :-)
@@JonasMTB Both, seems to me like the land is more cared for by the culture over there. More wild here vs more tended there?
amazing video really love it . do you have an instagram account??
Yep, check out my YT page :-)
Just a heads up, those Newts are toxic, so be sure to wash your hands after touching them!
Thanks! Will remember :-)
Noice
Hi, do you have GPX?
Sorry, but there are some online you can download :-)
@@JonasMTB I know i was do that for Icelande, but it's incertain ;)
Magisk!
Great stuff guys :). Anyway i could follow your journeys? instagram?
Thanks :-D
Check out the link to Instagram on my youtube page :-)
all those mountain bikers only ride downhills
When you take so much time to edit these videos, why dont you just take some time to make the introduction in English so everybody can understand? Doesnt take that much time and noone cares about an accent🤷♂️🤦♂️
How does this have such little views??? Best mtb video ever!!
Three of us are planning this trip for this summer, in July. We will probably ride a little heavier than you did, good to see the trail has good MTB singletrack every day! I'm busy obsessing over gear!
Do it, its sooo good!
