    I’ve walked up from the 101 side, it’s like going up an endless staircase. So it’s about the same angle as regular house stairs the first third. Not as steep except a couple of places the final two thirds. But the trail has several big drops, which you can see in the vid. Nice skills to the riders.

      BlindstuffMTB Yeah it's a little awkward in spots, just have to keep your momentum and pick good lines! A true test of technical riding.

    • @BlindstuffMTB
      @BlindstuffMTB Před 7 lety

      So many times, as long as you can maintain speed, its just, don't interfere with the bike, it knows what its doing, its the sack of meat on top bothering it lol.

    Great video guys. I've been chunking through all a,most all of them. Well done. Only advice I'd give is drop the music outside of special edits. Just the sound of your bike and feel free to talk to us as you ride. We all enjoy riding with you guys. Keep up the awesome content!

    • @TrailPeek
      @TrailPeek  Před 7 lety

      Thanks! We'll think about dropping the music. Honestly it would be pretty hard to talk coherently to the camera and ride this trail haha!

    Just got a Commencal Meta AM V4.2 , it's sick, been riding like crazy last 2 days since I got it. There are lots of technical trails like this near me, but so many unridable sections where you gotta get off and walk a bit.

    • @TrailPeek
      @TrailPeek  Před 7 lety +3

      Just keep practicing! Confidence is the key to tackling difficult terrain that may seem unridable.

    hey guys thanks for the top notch riding you guys are doing. It's Awesome !! I do have a question for you. Are you guys shuttling up to get to the trail? I ask because I want to hit this trail but will be by myself as I am travelling around Cali looking for the best trails to hit. Do you think the local bike shops would help me out?....

    • @TrailPeek
      @TrailPeek  Před 7 lety

      There is no shuttle for this trail. It requires a 45 minute hike to the top.
      Here's the climb segment:

    Gnar! I can't find that trail ref in Trailforks. I was raised in SLO, live in Sac area now - is that Madonna Mtn? Bishop's Peak? Insane descent whichever of the 7 Sisters it may be.

    How did you guys get to the top? Did you carry your bikes from the High School up that hiking trail? Is it legal to ride on this trail?

    • @TrailPeek
      @TrailPeek  Před 7 lety +4

      Hike a bike up from the back of the High School. As far as I know it is a legal trail, no signs saying otherwise. It is well beyond the level that most people ride at, so I don't think it sees much MTB traffic lol.

      @theguy1633 Před 7 lety

      Trail Peek I went up to the trail head by Lizzie street, there was a sign saying no bicycles allowed as it was a hiking only trail. Had to turn back and watch the superbowl. Is that the route you guys hiked up on?

    • @TrailPeek
      @TrailPeek  Před 7 lety

      Yep that's the one! I didn't see a sign when we road it. If there is a sign now, technically you're hiking the entire way and not really riding.
