Tales from the Trailz
Добавлен 22 июн 2010
Hola, soy Alejandro "Jando" Gonzales, I created Tales from the Trailz to share my mountain bike stories and experiences from a different and distinct perspective as a Brown man in Nature. Our communities are significantly underrepresented in the outdoors, especially in mountain biking, and it's important we reclaim our connection to the Earth. This channel is about having fun, shredding and racing, but also giving voice and name to those who've protected and honored the Earth for thousands of years.
Also, be sure and check out my blog for more mountain bike stories, essays and poetry from Tales from the Trailz!

I also designed a new TrailzAI application for recommending MTB trails using LLMs!

Sunrise Enduro Race 2024! First MBAA Enduro Race of 2024 in Greer, AZ, on the White Mountain Apache Reservation. My front brake went out on practice day, and I wasn't able to pre-ride the course, so rode it cautiously. Had a blast sending it with my dawg Craig on race day! Also saw the Dine fam out on the trailz, shout out to Emma, Rain and Jaden for winning and making podium! Also to the lil b...

Sandia Goon Squad!! Had a great time shredding with the homies Lucas, Steve, Josh and Ramon this past weekend! Lucas and I were climbing up to Challenge when a Tacoma pulled over, Ramon recognized The Stache, and offered us a ride. We shuttled the rest of the day together, hitting North Course, Munkle and the new flow trails at the top. Always amazing when you meet dope ass homies on the Trailz...

First time taking the Blue Bus to the top of Ski Santa Fe. Winsor is 9 miles of DH, with sick rock gardens and loose corners at the top, followed by flowy trails through the pines of the Sangre de Cristos! This is one of my favorite trails in New Mexico! Be sure and take the Blue Bus from downtown Santa Fe, makes the the trail a lot easier to handle. Learned my lesson from climbing the first ti...

First time back in Pajarito in a year! Had to heal and strengthen my neck, and slowly gain back my confidence to attack these bad ass trailz! Still one of the scariest places I've ridden; untamed, raw, steep and loose, it's always a test of your skills and tolerance for fear and pain. Rode most of the day with the homie Jeff, but it was a good time hanging with Lucas and the 505 crew after shre...

My first XC race in Silver City, NM! Tommy Knocker 10 hr (aka Tommy Killer) was filled with snow, 30mph winds and leg cramps. Raced with my bro Lucas! We got 9 total laps in, and I swear we both had hallucinations on our last laps! The track was 13 miles and beautiful, with hero dirt on every corner, but climbs that seemed endless. It was amazing, to say the least, being back in my Father's hom...

Awesome shred in White Ridge, NM with Steph! She's only been riding a little over a year, and already crushes it! Dragon's Back is aptly named with it's spiked rocks, running narrowly on the White Mesa ridgeline, with gypsum soil and clay red backdrops against the horizon, it's one of the most beautiful trailz I've ridden!

Mayan Warrior Poem | Embudo Trail, Albuquerque NM

This poem is dedicated to my best friend Jack Barnette-Queen, The Mayan Warrior. We lost him a few years after I beat cancer, and it was an extremely difficult time in my life. Overcoming death at such a young age is not easy. I carry him with me, always, I speak with him and converse with him, I feel his energy present and I know he is always protecting us. He was a beautiful and talented arti...

Nice! U editing everybody else out? Or do u have the magic touch and know what times to ride when everyone else is off the trails!! ;)
@@stiingya I have the magic touch haha i actually know times and days when it's mostly empty and what trails to hit
Hell yeah bud! Angelfire is one of my favorites!! I was on my enduro rig and wanted more suspension on the blacks!! So kudos on rollin on an XC rig there👊🏽👊🏽
Awesome footage and tunes. I got to get back to ABQ and ride the Foothills again👊🏾👊🏾
@@j1arv heck yeah thanks man! South foothills are def underrated! 🤘🏾🤘🏾👊🏾
Sunrise is on my to ride list. Looks super gnarly in spots but seems you handled it just fine 👊🏽 Dig your vids my dude! Keep em comin!!
@@dorseylewter434 hell yeah thanks! It's super gnarly in a lot of spots haha the vid doesn't do it justice honestly.
@@talesfromthetrailz GoPro effect engaged. I’ve looked back at clips of stuff I’ve filmed and thought this is gonna be sick…… ends up looking like a dropped off a curb 😑
@@dorseylewter434 hahahaha facts! Hate that you can't experience the gnarliness of the places I've ridden!
@ hell dude next time I’m in NM with the bike I may hit you up! Looks like there’s some pretty legit riding in the sandias
Having ridden those janky azz trails at Sunrise, you were moving hella of fast in sections I would have walked. Smooth riding right there Tales from the Trailz👊🏾
Hell yeah thanks man! It was hella blown out too, plus i didn't know the track so wasn't goin all out. Sick track tho!
You slayed that sh$#, good job!
@@ClydesdaleNM hey thanks man hahaha didn't think I did too well but I still had fun 🤘🏾🤘🏾
@@talesfromthetrailz For me, it wasn't what place you came in, it was how you got back up. That's what matter's, keep doing the same and the wins will follow!
@@ClydesdaleNM Hell yeah thanks for the positivity man! Was def happy that i did all the big features.
That drop at the bottom half of NC is soooo much bigger in person @12:07. How's it feel? And what was your speed like goin in? You made it look smooth.
@@macacoreis oh yeah, the cam doesn't do it justice for sure. I actually don't go too fast, I let go of the brakes at the beginning of the big rock and just send it nice and smooth. Key is to hit the transition, if you over shoot it it's gonna hurt. Make sure and go with someone your first time! 🤘🏾
Looking at this, I forget Albuquerque even has a rough side
@@shmooples7089 we have plenty of rough stuff, just gotta know the trailz 🤘🏾
Could you do this with a hardtail?"
@@1OTDM uh I don't recommend it, it's rough even on a full suspension. I recommend challenge trail for HT
Hard riding and great footage in 4K!
@@j1arv hey thank you I love riding fast and hard! 😜🤘🏾
Sweat riding! Showing what abq is about, besides the foothills.
@@itsacowmeat1358 heck yeah thank you! We have such good trails in the 505! 🤘🏾🤘🏾
Nice! Lmk next time you plan on going. Would love to join!
@@joshuamartinez6060 I'm down man, you live in SF?
I heard the road was shut down for maintenance except for Sundays. Guess I gotta climb up Pacheco.
@@jonathanjones8895 I heard it was, but when I went it was open.
@@jonathanjones8895 I literally climbed winsor before rather than the road. Hard but much more scenic.
@@talesfromthetrailz I’m not worried at all. I plan on camping off of Pacheco. I was even thinking about trying to climb/hike a bike up REM to Winsor.
Damn this looks like a f’n blast!!!
@@dorseylewter434 definitely one of the best trails I've ridden!
Where is this located, live on the rez myself. Need to find trails up here to ride my trail bike on
Hey sorry for the late reply this is window rock and ft defiance man
@@talesfromthetrailz oh snap i live in fort defiance
@@talesfromthetrailz trying to get a tubeless tire set up going so i can actually ride here properly lol
Dope!!!🔥🔥🔥
@@ryanmartinez9896 thanks brother!

@@dominiqueclichee7924 too fun bro!
Rider from Texas here. That's a lot of chunk. Headed to Angel Fire next week for the 1st time 18-23rd.
Awesome! I haven't been there yet, but Anglefire plenty of times. What's the best warmup line, Aspen for Trouble from what I've seen in vids? Im way more comfortable on steeps this year than last, so once theres a weekend with light Monsoons I wana go.
@@2Philthy yeah Aspen for trouble and aspenola are good warmups. And JR. Honestly everything is rough there haha but aspenola has good flow and smoother than the rest.
You are always riding around abq. I would like to ride with you.
Great video! I'm going to get out there one of these days.
@@ClydesdaleNM hell yeah! Thank you! Be prepared for the gnar, and start off slow 🤘🏾
🔥🔥
@@dominiqueclichee7924 hell yeah Dom!! 🤘🏾🤘🏾
I don't know how many times I watched this video, but I fucking love everything about it. LC born and bred 1/2 White, 1/2 Hispanic farmer and I've been called all those words in your poem. Never had a problem mixing my cholo and skater friends with my football buddies. We all got along, albeit that was the late 80's and early 90's. There was no trailhead back then, we used park at the Pan AM and ride up a trail that ran parallel to the golf coarse. On the lower East side of A mountain there used to be a make shift shooting range and occasionally a bullet would go whizzing by while you were riding. Okay enough reminiscing, now get off my lawn kid, I mean zero scaping. In all sincerity, I truly do appreciate you bringing back a lot of good memories for me. Thx Jeff
Hey man, just saw this, I appreciate your kind words. And hell yeah, I remember all of the things you're talking bout. I do still hear those bullets even now when I ride by A mountain haha Cruces is def a part of my blood, and I'm happy that you can relate on that level. - Jando
That’s not 3 sisters
Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately none of these trailz are marked so it's hard to tell one from the other. I just ride them and have fun sharing! 🤘🏾
Do you mind posting this route?Looks sick and I want to catch it on my way through ABQ.
Sure does Strava work?
@@talesfromthetrailz absolutely. Watching your Ojelno loop now. Looking for more to ride when I visit Angel Fire.
@@jonathanjones8895 here it is Check out this route on Strava: strava.app.link/ujak99yHUJb - In the Dirt shred! 🤘🏾🙌🏾🤎
NEW SUBSCRIBER !!! Keep riding man !!!👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey thanks man! Preciate the follow! More coming soon!
Best ride I ever had with Jando and this crew on the rocky Oso Corredor (Running Bear)
Hell yeah had fun man! 🤘🏾
This trail looks so sick
It's freaking fun man, lot of climbing to get to it, but still fun AF 🤘🏾
Orale! Where’s this?
Which part? I was all over in this video haha
@@talesfromthetrailz the part with the trees😂😂😂😂😂
@@SimplePleasuresMTB that's the north crest in the Sandia mountains
So good dude. Makes me miss all the summer riding.
Hell yeah thank you! Summer is gonna be sick! 🤘🏾🤘🏾
From when is this ? Isn’t there right now ?
P r o m o s m
what is that beeping noise?
It tracks my jumps on my gps unit, hang time and distance
Your channel is doing well Bro !👍 Youve come a long way ! Keep it up! 🤟🤙
"I was hugging the left bro"😮. hell yeah ! I was too.
I know it man haha have we met?
@@talesfromthetrailz not that I know of.
Great video work and nice bike, I miss my Ripmo v2. I love Glorieta, you could literally spend all day there. Some of the climbs up are not easy though, snack pack and giddy up are tough climbs but the downs are such a pay off. Never heard of this batman trail though... Hmmm.
Thank you for the compliments. I miss my v2, had a bad injury in the Sandias and haven't been able to ride. And yes Glorieta is my favorite place to ride because of the climbs and reward. It's so tough to the top but man those trails are insane. Batmans plunge or something plunge but it's off the grid I just happened to get lost in the right place
Pajarito is definitely next level. If you can ride there, you can ride anything.
Dope!!
Thank you brother!
Heckya, Tails from the Trailz laying down some tracks!!!
My man thanks brother!! 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
I like itt brother,, Nice keep up the pedaling Thank you posting New subscriber
Hell yeah thanks for support man! Never stop pedaling bruh!
Did it really take 5 hrs to climb? I think the mtb project app says its only a couple mile climb?
Lol nah man it's just a figure of speech. Took like 30 mins tops but it's steep
LETS GO HONDRO
Ayyye thank thank you! So fun!
Nice 👍🏾 race bro!! The dirt was soooo loose. I was freaking out at every corner.
Dude hahaha yeah that dirt was blown out just had to trust the drift 🤘🏾
Sick man! Ive been up there a bunch but havent heard of Batmans plunge. Wheres it at? I might give Broken Arrow and the other side a try tomorrow, usually just stick to Hole Mole, Chili Dog, Jagged Axe and C & S. I'm if doing the Winsor and Glorietta after tomorrow.
So I would go right instead of left to chips and salsa, I think it's called COM or something like that, it wraps around to Jagged Axe climb. Then you keep climbing jagged Axe climb trail and it will be on the left. It's hard to describe and it has no markers. I just randomly found it man hahaha
@@talesfromthetrailz sounds confusing as hell. 🤣 I know there's a couple turns on Cairn me Up (jagged axe/c & S climb I haven't taken maybe one day I will. I found South Course finally on Challenge. That sucker is hard to find! I just happened to stop there to check something and there it was. Haven't taken it yet but wana try it once. You think it's worth missing the rest of Challenge? I tried the North Downhill/Muncle course a couple times too now after watching your video, super fun and steep!! Love all the chunk and smaller drops. I haven't got the courage to try the 2nd step down though you guys were hitting, maybe after couple more runs. The one above it is too big for me, the gap has too much consequences if you miss. Same with all thise gap jumps. Haha.
Yo!!! Nice ride. 🔥🔥💥💥👍🏾👍🏾
Hell yeah thanks man!! 🤘🏾🙌🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Dude, killer!
Hell yeah man thank you!!
Nice! Headed there Friday. Let's GO!
Hell yeah hope you had a great shred! 🤘🏾
@@talesfromthetrailz We sure did!!! ruclips.net/video/juec9_2gIfM/видео.html
Bro!! That was tremendous! What an adventure. Keep it up. Mahalo
Hell yeah thanks man! 👊🏾👊🏾🤘🏾
Sick I love Glorieta
My favorite so far! 🤘🏾🤘🏾
Sick man! 🤘 Climbing Golden Eagle and going down Challenge is my favorite go to ride I hit more than anything this year. Tree Spring and Oso downhill are also 🔥. haven't hit Muncle or DH Course yet but its on my list, the drops look like so much fun. Wheres the South Course at?
I dont think I've done oso but tree spring is sick too. And south course branches from challenge about half way down. See the vid
I'll have to start putting markers in my vids so thanks for the Q. It'll help people find Trailz 🤘🏾
@@talesfromthetrailz interesting man. I'll have to look into that because I hit Challenge a ton and havnet heard of it but i know they've been out there doing work, love those jumps after the abandoned parking lot! You gotta check out Oso. I don't shuttle too often because I like climbing first but a sick shuttle down is Switchback>Challenge(Upper)>10K South>Tree Spring>Oso>Bill Spring. Oso is a good mixture of Tree Spring Chunk mixed & Challenge Trail Flow, best way to deacribe it. Much easy to keep speed than Tree Spring. I just did the Winsor in Santa Fe for the first time. Insane amount of fun! Most people shuttle that but we climbed it then went down. If you haven't checked that out, it's a must!
That was sick bro. Send it to me so I can rep you bro.
Send you the link or what
