- Ft. Duffield is a small, but amazing mountain bike trail system that seems to come up frequently in Kentuckiana mountain biking conversations. I'm giving a guided tour to get riders acquainted with the trail system and to help inform new riders on what to expect when they visit the trails.

Amazing video. Great job. Thanks for sharing this guide.
Great video!
Thank you for acknowledging Bruce , a lot of people don’t know how much he has done for mountain biking at Duffield and pretty much every other park in our area.
Thanks, David. The work he has done is incredible.
Awesome vid! Heading there next week and this really helped
Great to hear. The park has gone through some changes (for the better). The Yellow Trail has been rebuilt by machine and is awesome! It also has an easier return trail to the top now.
I didn’t know about the teepee side 😳. I joined the kymba recently, but I’m not on face book. Great video. I appreciate all the hard work that goes into building the trails and maintaining them around ky an IN.
I’m always amazed at how many riders I run into at Duffield, who have been there before, but never ridden the TeePee side. You are not alone.
Good stuff.........I'm in McCreary county KY and about to get a bike. Former BMX/skateboarder here. I love hiking and bush craft and most things outdoor, and have put off getting a bike for too long. I'm looking at a few but where I'm at we have lots of good stuff to ride it's freestyle though. Four wheeler and jeep trails with drops and jumps right in my backyard. Steep dirt climbs and hills too........also some chuggy rocky stuff 15 minutes away. I rode the jumpy dirt trails in the back on a diamondback and then a Haro zippo as a teenager. You seem to do great riding on the downhill.......I hope too get that confident in time. From my younger years one thing I know is not to rush. I ride with no fear but don't push past what I can visualize myself doing with current skills. Just wanted to drop a comment.......From one wildcat to another, keep on shredding.
Thanks for watching and for the comment. There’s been so many old school BMXers converting to MTB over the past several years. The skills definitely transfer, and, in my opinion, the BMX crowd has probably had some influence on the evolution of trail building and the abundance of new, fun trails with lots of jumps and features. There’s lots of good stuff within a short drive of where you are. Big South Fork has 35 miles of fun and beautiful trails, and a little further you e got some really special stuff at Sugarcamp in KY and several great bike parks in TN/NC. Keep on shredding!
super stoked to return, was out there last year and got turned around. This is a terrific guide, well done.
Thanks, Chip.
by far the best duff video in existence bro! well done!
Thanks man. Lots of talking, and a little less riding on this one, but I wanted to try to answer a lot of the questions newcomers might have. Glad you liked it.
@@thekentuckykona i wish i could talk as well as you do man lol and i live 10 mins from duff n still just aimlessly wander around when im there so this will help a ton! 👍✌🤙🤘✊
Nice to know about the FB group. I don’t have FB.. so when y’all see me.. know I want more mtb friends! Lol. I loved the trails at this park. Just the road coming down was wild for me 🤣 I love going downhill 🤭 maybe not always safely… aye I ain’t broken anything! I also love waverly and seen your vid there! Yass!
I started with Seth bike hacks and berm peak. I’m hoping to get better with biking to go to berm peak and eventually, Sedona!
I’ve gone to Cherokee park too! Trails there are okay.
Wanting to go to brown county IN sometime this summer too!
That’s awesome! You need to check out O’Bannon Woods in Corydon, IN if you liked Duffield. It’s a much bigger system with lots of fun and challenging trails. There’s a lot of great downhill runs, too. There’s usually lots of friendly riders there on the weekends to meet up with. Park at the Sasafras Lot by the campground entrance and try to join in with a group.
@@thekentuckykona I just had a coworker from corydon tell me about this place too! If two people recommend, I’m looking like maybe I need to go get new tubes today so I can ride! I’m still pretty new to it, so it’s so great to hear about more local trails. I’m like a kid in a candy store 😂
Thank you!
@@brittyyybabes a lot more than two will recommend. It’s the premier trail system in this area, and less than an hour from downtown Louisville. Brown Co is the only place that compares within two hours. Beyond that, you have to drive 4 hours to Tennessee/North Carolina to get any better.
Thanks for the video! No idea this place existed and I'm not far away.
You crushed the step down and the large gap jump on red! 🤘🤘🤘Ft duffield is the best! Great video man
Thanks, Gary. Those jumps are so much fun. Took me a couple trips to get the nerve to hit that gap.
Good video, I may have to revisit these trails. I was there a few years ago and never went back. Trails were not that great, unkempt, and overgrown compared to Waverly and Cherokee, but they look great in your video.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Nice! I wish I was brave enough to hit those gap jumps on dead mans spur! I always take the blue trail down, so I think that was the first time I have seen the red. Well done!
Just go fast and hang on. They're built well, but there's really not many legit gaps like that to progress on. If you fly the first one fast and low, speed is perfect for the big one.
I’m not sure if this comment will reach anyone in from Louisville But I have no social media, I wanna start riding with anyone that knows how to ride !
Without social media, the best way to get in touch with other riders is at trail days. O’Bannon Woods will be doing them regularly on Sundays in the spring.
