American Trail Rider

Добавлен 16 янв 2017
Welcome,
My name is John and I love the outdoors. I love to explore new places and take in the sights. My channel will be primarily about mountain biking and the new trails I will encounter along the way. But I am also going to post my life's adventures.
I am near the end of my career and will be retiring in three years. My plan is to become a full-time RV'r, travel the country and explore this wonderful nation and take you along the way.
I am lucky to have a wonderful girlfriend who encourages me to travel and mtb. I also have the benefit of getting to travel the country. Last year I got to go to California, New York, Texas and Las Vegas. I even flew to Dallas just for lunch.
Please come along and enjoy my travels to include Snow Skiing, Hiking, Motorcycle Riding, and any events I attend. Also mainly MTBing.

#moab #enchilada #mountain bike Moab, Utah, the home of The Whole Enchilada. We rode this back in September of 2020. Better late than never for getting a video up and out. This had to be one of the greatest rides I have ever done. Even with three flat tires, running out of water at the end of the day, I would have gone and done it the very next day again if I would have had the time. I am alrea...

#Trestle #Colorado #Downhill In July of 2020, we took a trip to Winter Park Colorado to Trestle Bike Park. We are not mad shredders, experts, or going to win any medals for downhill type riding. This was the second downhill park I have ever ridden. To see my first, check out the Snowshoe video. At over 10,000 feet of elevation, Trestle Bike Park was absolutely amazing. Over 40 miles of downhill...
Virginia Key Mountain Bike Trails
Просмотров 11 тыс.4 года назад
Virginia Key Park, located in Key Biscayne, just outside of downtown Miami. The park sits between Biscayne bay and the Atlantic ocean. The entrance fee to get into the park is 8 dollars, but if you park outside of the park and ride in, there is no fee. On this ride, I parked just south of the park at Crandon Park Marina. The parking is free, but I had to ride about 3 miles to get to the trailhe...

This trip we headed to Palm Bay Florida, home of the GrapeFruit trails. This week the boys and I took a 2-hour trip north. We drove from Fort Lauderdale to Palm Bay Florida, home of the Grapefruit Trails. This trip included Diego, Pedro and myself. One of us might have been a tad bit hungover, can you guess who? The Grapefruit Trails in Palm Bay are one of Central Florida's most challenging tra...

My First DH Park (Snowshoe) didn't End Well, but was Epic up to that point!!

#snowshoe #mtb #downhill #west_virginia Me and the boys drove 16 hours to Snowshoe MTB park in West Virginia to hit the trails. This was my first DH park, and what a rush, I can not wait to go back. Right before lunch on the first day, I did what I thought was a simple drop. I came in too fast, jumped too far and lost control. The bike high sided me and landed on my left side. When I got back h...

American Trail Rider TEST2 at Markham Park Trails
Wow ..terrible. I wish I could upgrade without the added noise level. I love the silence and peaceful rides through the trail when I can hear my tires scrub of anything else. And even hear the deer in the woods scatter ! Maybe I will check out the 36 so it can be a mid point of better engagement while not quite as loud. Glad you played the sound !
Hope that you have been back recently…..🤔 We have out a lot of work in. Wow, does your video show how much the plants have grown!
Will be out there soon.
I was hoping to get a much quieter sound. Seem like only the pitch changed.
Good times
How about performance wise between 18t and 54t. Is it noticeable for road bike?
I would say no. It's more for tech and climbing in tech type terrain.
@@americantrailrider7031 thank you. I will stick to 18T then
What’s your stem?
Don't remeber. Sold the bike a year ago.. sorry
One of my other videos should have the complete build of the bike
Did you drive out there or fly and rent bikes?
Flew and rented bikes.i have a bike travel bag if I want to take my own bike
Looks like a blast. There's a fly-in I go to every year in Palm Bay.
Great video. Looks like a blast!
It's worth mentioning, because seemingly no one does, higher engagement hubs will increase your pedal kickback. So higher engagement hubs have added benefit for technical climbing, but give you more pedal kickback. If you don't actually need high engagement don't upgrade to the 54t, there is actually a 36t available for the DT 350 also.
Also worth adding, if you’re on a hardtail or high pivot go nuts with hub engagement. Makes no real difference
16 feet on the drop and 32 on the cupcake gap, lip to lander...most send it closer to 40 feet on the distance which is around 20 feet on the drop. They actually extended the landing an additional 6 feet this year because people were overshooting it. I personally find it a much smoother landing this season. Great riding! Hope you and the bike have recovered! Maybe see you at ❄️👟 sometime soon!
Is the drag resistance going from 18t to 36t anything to worry about or is it negligible?
No difference
Hey man cool video! It looks like you've gained a lot more bike control since your Feb 2020 Grapefruit video. I'm just getting back onto my bmx bike after 12+ years and am in Deerfield Beach, kind close to you in Ft Laudy. One day we might run into each other! Subbed.
Thanks man, I ride a lot. I'm currently up in NC hitting the trails.
I was debating between the 240 and the i9 hubs for my new gravel and I think this video just convinced me to save my money and get the 350s instead
they finally offer this as a kit because the patent expired and if they didnt then third party would have jumped in
Did you notice there is a rabbit about 20 yards in front of you at :40 seconds in? I've seen a few rabbits lately at VK, skunks in years past and a bunch of snakes and iguanas.
I cant see it. Lol
Ah, I never saw this. Great video. Your hungover friend has at least a good excuse for all them cases. THe one slow mo on the west indies had me laughing. Where you been?
Thanks Ben. Been watching your recent travels. Lol. Just got back from NC riding up there. Planning more trips to trestle and moab. Ride delray a lot for obvious reasons. Lol. How have you been?
How fast do you have to go for that drop to step up then step down?
As much speed as you can get. U can start by the palm tree, or get a run in from father back and do the little climb before it. If you're talking about the pro line.
That was a nice video!!! I’ll be there today to try some stuff
Cool! That my home resort and Trestle never disappoints. Good ride bro!
Can you buy the hub with 54 teeth ?
I don't believe so
where is the parking lot located, longitude latitude please or exact street address
15102 Co Rd 672 15102 Co Rd 672, Wimauma, FL 33598 maps.app.goo.gl/3GTspACGtHn67J9QA
Good luck, have fun
@@americantrailrider7031 thank you so much, I found it now
what kind of bike do you have?
2018 Santa Cruz hightower cc. Just ordered an Ibis ripmo v2
Great video. Looks like fun. Have not been out there for about 10 years. My 8 year old daughter is starting to ride so we tried to watch this together. Would be nice if you posted video without the cussing. If you can’t, put a disclaimer. Everything else was good stuff.
Yeah, I know, sorry, bad habit. I tried editing it out, but takes forever. Lol.
Awesome video!!! You gained a sub! But also an alternative title could be case compilation
2:20 hub sounds
Hello there, would you like to try out our Bike Parts that are compatible with your MTB?
Was that recently logged lots of down trees. We get lots of that in Wisconsin. Good ride, bro,
One of the best Balm vids out there! Are you Broward-based, like me? I've only ridden Balm once, need to go back soon as it cools off. Which GoPro and mount are you using? The video looks really nice!
Yeah, here in Davie. I haven't been to balm in a few months. I dont remember if that was my 7 or 8, but its chest mounted with no gimble.
@@americantrailrider7031 Thanks, I'm getting a chest mount, don't see how people wear full helmets with a GP. Do you prefer the 8 over the 7? I rode Balm right after everything reopened in April, can't wait to go back Nov/Dec. See you at Markham!
@@VisualSOLUTIONSMedia I prefer the gopro 8, mounted on my fullface. Gets the best footage.
I miss working at Winter Park. So many great memories from summer 2018, Thanks for sharing.
Hi. I have a brand new dt swiss 350. But we changed the free hub to microspline. Right now, it doesn't sound like the original sound. Can u help me? Thank you
I live 10 minutes from here, I kayak In Virginia Key, it's a beautiful island with many hidden spots, I bought a mountain bike see u guys around cause I'll be there.
I live about 40 miles plus north of Virginia Key and does not take me an hour. Thanks for content .
Without traffic, correct.
DUCKY TREEE!!!!!
Lol, yeah, it was cool to see
Great video, Thanks
Thanks for watching. I need to go back soon, I hear there is new stuff being built.
Great video man!
hey get excited there its a nice trail!
Need to balance that rear wheel badly. Use tungsten golf strips.
What are you talking about?
yeah! 🤘
11:20 if I had a dollar for how many times this happens to me... I would be pretty wealthy.
Yeah, almost everytime I hit that I went towards the tree
I hope COVID goes away already so i can go ride these again! This is my local trail and I think im spoiled with it being just a 30 minute drive for me XD
The trails should be open. You should be able to ride there now.
I MISS TRESTLE! (Great video!)
Thanks, I should have waited to publish until quality was better. Lol. But what a fun and amazing place to ride. I got more beat up than when I go snow skiing for 4 days.
Nice
Awesome video and good riding! I agree with you 100% on the traffic, i'm in Broward so I know the feeling!
Cam I get a cheap dt swiss hub and than add these?
I'm sure you could
@@americantrailrider7031 I might have to do that. Thanks for the vid!
@@jameson732 no you can't only the hubs that use ratchet technology
@@NLmonsterNL oh ok, thanks!
cool mtb ride
What is the thing you have wrapped around the hub when you're showing the sound comparison?
It's the sensor for my garmin.
Very nice, great price too, you scored! I used to have a Jet 9 RDO as well, Hightower is a big improvement.
Yeah. I love my bike. Sold the niner to a friend.
Did this a couple months ago. Amazing upgrade & the sound let's everyone know you are coming.
@Harry Baals not that I could notice compared to the stock 18t ratchet. And significantly less than my XTR 106poe hubs. The 350 spins very freely.
mannn those trails look soo nice!! I went out to Virginia last Christmas, wish I tried some of these out !Love ur content btw, id love it if u might be able to check out mine:)
