It's been a few years now since I watched and learned from this video and I think this is still the best video I've seen out there featuring the best trails in Auburn.
Holy $hit. I've lived in Sacramento for 2 years now and have ridden up in Auburn dozens of times, but you just showed me TONS of stuff I haven't even explored yet! UNREAL!!!!!!
Great riding skills. Thanks for showing the trails. Now I know what to expect when I ride those trails and won't get lost. I've only done culvert, foresthill divide and confluence so far. Still honing my skills, 4 broken ribs so far. Hehe. Subscribed. Keep it coming.
So I rode Rocky Trail this weekend. I already knew you were an amazing rider from the rest of the stuff I've seen you do in Auburn compared to how I can ride it. But I just had to come back and say HOLY SHIT that trail is intense! I'm going to have to work to be able to finish that last 100'. Thanks for featuring that trail. I haven't ridden much of what's in the OHV. Also that climb (walk for me) back up the paved road was just stupid! ....still was worth the downhill, but definitely makes you question it. LOL
You gotta love Auburn and all of gold country has to offer. That rocky trail insane. Hope to see More of your channel showing us more of Auburn and norcal
Dude your an animal !!! that rocky section was NO joke and you bossed through there like it was smooth flowy trail. super impressed with your bike handling and line choice.
You shred pretty hard man. I've ridden there over 50 times but you just showed me some new lines. I understand you're more into the gravity oriented trails, but the flow on Connector Trail at the top of Clementine before heading over to Culvert, is fantastic. If you can hit it fast enough assuming no one else is out, you can air out almost every little swoop and rise. There's also the Forest Hill Divide Loop at the end of connector that has some good stuff too.
We just bought a house in Auburn and I'm looking forward to exploring the trail systems -- hiking and mtbiking.......this is a Great video! Obviously you've ridden these trails a ton, and you're really, really good on the mtb!
Absolute shredder! I found your channel by watching Seth's "Huck podcast" and I'm glad I did! You fill the void BKXC just doesn't. Your style and commentary during the ride is just so much more natural. My kind of riding keep it up I'm sub'd!!
Wow amazing! I’m new to Sacramento area, originally from Monterey. So nice to these awesome trails. Thanks for sharing. Hope I can ride those trails one of this days too.
very nice job! I live about 15 miles from this trail system and love it here! i am surprised that you didn't show the jump across the creek towards the last half of Confluence Trail. Inside Mammoth Bar OHV have some amazing trails that most MTB'ers don't ride. It's worth exploring next time.
Dude, you gave me a blast from the past. I grew up riding those trails and would have lunch at that bench on Flood. You should make a trip to Santa Barbara, we got some fun trails.
Kyle Spencer That's awesome! We're actually heading down to Santa Barbara in a couple weeks! Rode there a few years ago and was blown away. Excited to go back!
I’ve done everything from confluence up to the right and pretty much stick to the FDLT but Stagecoach looks sick! Squirrel looks sick! And Manzanita looks sick too! I’m gonna have to add those to my list. I like to do the whole 24miles from bottom of confluence to top and back down when I’m feeling FROGGY!
Trail Peek ya I need the exercise haha so xc is perfect for me right now. I was 275lbs July 2018 in just 3 months I’ve dropped 40lbs and I’m at 234 right now!! My goal is to be 195lb your videos are sick keep them coming! Subscribed
Yooooooo thanks for this video. I live in Roseville and go swimming at the confluence all the time but I've been wondering where all these amazing trails everyone always talks about are at. Def going to check these out asap. Thanks again hope to see you out there
Ok, not saying anything new here but damn, you did flow really smooth on those trails. I used ride DH like 20yrs ago.lol Shuttled Auburn a lot. You make it look effortless. I like your jump into the Confluence trail. I’ve ridden a few times only in the last few years. I hit that jump into the trail but had to size it up for like 5 min. Haha. (I’m 45 now) you some gap jump I don’t think I knew existed. I know the one where you have to jump over a decent drop before the little water crossing but not the one you mentioned. Probably going up there this week. Going to do some GoPro stuff and drone footage. I’m pretty washed up but better get some vids before I’m too old! Lol Nice riding. Cheers!
Such a depressing video. You weren't even breathing hard. Lol. I've been up clementine once, years ago. Hike a bike at times for me. Man, you sure rip. Stay safe and Thanks for the video.
Trail Peek Thanks for the reply. We bought my wife's Trek Lush at Northrim, while visiting Chico, a couple of years ago. Great bike shop!! Looking forward to you next video!
Man, that intro! Whole video is awesome. So how's the "Bronson" on the climbs? I'm really tempted to get an "all-mountain" bike. Thing is the trails near me are more geared for the "5010" .
Good to hear. Would a "Bronson" be enough for a bike park like Mammoth? I live near Big Bear, CA so that's why I'm considering going "All-mountain"/"Enduro" for an all-around bike. Again, the trails I'd ride the most would be "5010" territory.
We have our rebound and compression settings around the middle. We just use Fox's recommended settings then adjusted from there. I'd go to Cane Creeks website and refer to their setup guide and customize it from there. There's really not anything extreme in Auburn so a standard middle tune works fine.
I'm new to mountain biking. I'm thinking of coming here to get practice. I'm a bit uncomfortable with some of the rocky technical sections, does anyone know some great basic and flowy trails here I can practice on?
Awesome video. Perfect shot length, and the narration is impeccable! Question: How is the middle of the frame kept so still? Are you wearing a gimbal, or is that done in post?
did as much color correcting as I could with out compromising the footage. The heavy oak tree cover on the trails creates really dappled light in mid day sun. Have any tips of your own? We'd love to make them better!
Hey Jacob, the ride is 15 miles and 2900 feet of elevation gain. You can easily shorten it by taking out one of the descents. We have a full guide on our website here: trailpeek.com/portfolio/auburn-california-trail-guide/

Super fast. I could do those trails too but I would have eaten $hit about 20 times. Great video.
Keep it rubber side down! We crash sometimes too
OMG, I could never EVER ride like this. Just amazing! Great job, awesome skills!
Thanks

...also you're epically fast geeeeeez I'd die.
Yeah, lots of good stuff in Auburn that a lot of people dont ride!
Dude I live in Auburn and you are a BEAST to ride all these trails in one sesh!
Just a quick loop. Take this ride and Add in eastside, Grizzly and Quarry and that's a solid ride!
Easily one of the best trail guides I've ever watched.
I’ve been out to Auburn the last two weekends following this route. I love squirrel trail. Great video- thanks.
Great riding skills. Thanks for showing the trails. Now I know what to expect when I ride those trails and won't get lost. I've only done culvert, foresthill divide and confluence so far. Still honing my skills, 4 broken ribs so far. Hehe. Subscribed. Keep it coming.
That's exactly what we're trying to do! Get out there and explore some of the other goods Auburn has to offer! Thanks for checking it out
Awesome riding! Watching these videos make me really miss riding in Auburn. You can really shred. Hope your Channel takes off!
This has become my favorite runs....thanks for sharing.
Equal parts terrifying and amazing to watch you rail those trails. Thanks for the guide!

Yea get after it! Im sure it was pretty messed up with all the recent rain. Check it out again once it's dry
You gotta love Auburn and all of gold country has to offer. That rocky trail insane. Hope to see More of your channel showing us more of Auburn and norcal
Dude your an animal !!! that rocky section was NO joke and you bossed through there like it was smooth flowy trail. super impressed with your bike handling and line choice.
Yeeew! Thanks brother, have to keep that momentum up to float over the chunk!
Road this exact loop the weekend. Thank you for posting it. Culvert trail is amazing
Thanks for LINKING me to this video..nice freakin trails..you got some skills bro..that rock trail was BRUTAL!!..Stay safe..
Thanks man. Super helpful for the Pivot demo this weekend!

I am at top by squirrel trail. It’s blocked off. Private property. Any other way down from here ?
That drop in to confluence trail was sick!
Fun little gap from the road! So many little jibs on that trail.
I appreciate the riding tips as you ride. I’ll watch more. Thanks.
Awesome, thanks for putting that together!
Just subscribed to your channel. This is my favorite video from your channel so far. Love the view and your awesome riding.
Sweet, thanks! Do you ride Auburn often?
We just bought a house in Auburn and I'm looking forward to exploring the trail systems -- hiking and mtbiking.......this is a Great video! Obviously you've ridden these trails a ton, and you're really, really good on the mtb!

Wow amazing! I’m new to Sacramento area, originally from Monterey. So nice to these awesome trails. Thanks for sharing. Hope I can ride those trails one of this days too.
Man you are shredding those trails. Great video
Thank you! The trails are a blast.
Killer footage. Signed up for the CES Mammoth Bar Enduro, looking forward to hitting this loop. Thanks
Hell yeah! It's gonna be a sick race! See you out there
What Cat do you race in?
Pro 👍
Dude, you are insane. I was scared just watching you ride. Great video - great trails.
Great video. Found some little nuggets in this video that I've yet to ride. Way to keep it pinned!
very nice job! I live about 15 miles from this trail system and love it here! i am surprised that you didn't show the jump across the creek towards the last half of Confluence Trail. Inside Mammoth Bar OHV have some amazing trails that most MTB'ers don't ride. It's worth exploring next time.
In this video we included Stonewall and Rocky, both in the OHV! We'll do another video soon with Eastside and Grizzly.
Great riding man. Awesome vid. Just picked us a 27.5 plus Hightower. Excited to rip it
Awesome! You'll love it
Awesome video. Im hoping the trails look that good after all the rain we had for the upcoming race in a month.
you deserve a lot more subscribers, well done with this video
another great vid, as mentioned before your riding and these videos get me hyped, great work!
Sick! We're just as stoked as you!
Dude, you gave me a blast from the past. I grew up riding those trails and would have lunch at that bench on Flood. You should make a trip to Santa Barbara, we got some fun trails.
Kyle Spencer That's awesome! We're actually heading down to Santa Barbara in a couple weeks! Rode there a few years ago and was blown away. Excited to go back!
Trail Peek please feel free to reach out when you do.
Awesome looking place to ride. Really enjoying your channel 👍
This is a great trail peaks vid because Dane talks through how his is riding. i.e when he is pedalling and braking
Amazing riding! Funny how different my home trails look at your speeds. You make it look easy. Subscribed!
Thanks!
Love watching you ride man. Good shit.
I’ve done everything from confluence up to the right and pretty much stick to the FDLT but Stagecoach looks sick! Squirrel looks sick! And Manzanita looks sick too! I’m gonna have to add those to my list. I like to do the whole 24miles from bottom of confluence to top and back down when I’m feeling FROGGY!
You've got some exploring to do! I don't touch FDLT, too flat and XC for me.
Trail Peek ya I need the exercise haha so xc is perfect for me right now. I was 275lbs July 2018 in just 3 months I’ve dropped 40lbs and I’m at 234 right now!! My goal is to be 195lb your videos are sick keep them coming! Subscribed
Smashing! Killer riding bro.
Yooooooo thanks for this video. I live in Roseville and go swimming at the confluence all the time but I've been wondering where all these amazing trails everyone always talks about are at. Def going to check these out asap. Thanks again hope to see you out there

Gotta be one with the rocks!
Trail Peek you move through the Rocks like a stream
Nice trails!, you are going warp speed!
Love these raw - trail guide videos! Could you do a review of your bronson? It would be great!
yeah we will get a Bronson long term reveiw up! its been an awesome bike
Such a depressing video. You weren't even breathing hard. Lol. I've been up clementine once, years ago. Hike a bike at times for me. Man, you sure rip. Stay safe and Thanks for the video.
You rode over rocky like a freaking river, wow.
paradise
Full gas.... Good work Dane!!
Yeehaw! Thanks Paul. Auburn Enduro in May has your name on it!
Good stuff... Subscribed
Knarly and beautiful. Take it easy.
Thanks for stopping by!
Great video!!! You are an incredible rider! Which Chico bike shop do you work in?
My brother Zach, the other half of Trail Peek works at Northrim Adventure Sports while at school.
Trail Peek Thanks for the reply. We bought my wife's Trek Lush at Northrim, while visiting Chico, a couple of years ago. Great bike shop!! Looking forward to you next video!
you are a awesome rider ! new sub here 👍🏼
Thank you and thanks for checking us out! More videos like this on the way!
Man you were ripping that was sweet
you make it look so easy lol
you have a new sub
Awesome! More videos on the way!
You are amazing men.
Great riding, those trails looked kick ass especially the last 3. You forget your gloves ?
Its nice to go gloveless every now and then
Man, that intro! Whole video is awesome. So how's the "Bronson" on the climbs? I'm really tempted to get an "all-mountain" bike. Thing is the trails near me are more geared for the "5010" .
I honestly wouldn't be able to tell the difference on the climbs between a Bronson or Solo. They're both great bikes.
Good to hear. Would a "Bronson" be enough for a bike park like Mammoth? I live near Big Bear, CA so that's why I'm considering going "All-mountain"/"Enduro" for an all-around bike. Again, the trails I'd ride the most would be "5010" territory.
I raced the Mammoth Enduro on my Bronson and felt it handled all of the trails in the park great for an all mountain bike.
I have the same gimble and it's not as smooth as yours. How do you mount yours?
fackin shredding it mate!!
How's the condition of these trails right now? Coming down from Tahoe looking to do some riding
what is your tire set up? front/rear?
Hey, I'm new to the area and trying to get my shock adjusted for up there. What kind of settings are you running on yours?
What kind of shock is it? How much do you weigh?
Yeah, it's a Cane Creek DB with climb assist. My rider weight is probably about 180-185, and I'm an aggressive rider.
We have our rebound and compression settings around the middle. We just use Fox's recommended settings then adjusted from there. I'd go to Cane Creeks website and refer to their setup guide and customize it from there. There's really not anything extreme in Auburn so a standard middle tune works fine.
Download the cane creek tuning app to further help get you dialed
I'm new to mountain biking. I'm thinking of coming here to get practice. I'm a bit uncomfortable with some of the rocky technical sections, does anyone know some great basic and flowy trails here I can practice on?
How are these trails for a hardtail?
how long have you been riding??
wow, you are a beast 😳
Awesome video. Perfect shot length, and the narration is impeccable! Question: How is the middle of the frame kept so still? Are you wearing a gimbal, or is that done in post?
Thanks! We use a gimbal on all our videos. We use the feiyu tech WG
You shreddin! Throw some cc in there, the gopro makes colours look so flat ;)
did as much color correcting as I could with out compromising the footage. The heavy oak tree cover on the trails creates really dappled light in mid day sun. Have any tips of your own? We'd love to make them better!
Wow!!!!
such a great chanel what happened?
Great riding, bet you could do some of that with your eyes closed!
Great video. What is the total mileage and climbing for this ride. Always wanted to do it but not sure if I could.
Hey Jacob, the ride is 15 miles and 2900 feet of elevation gain. You can easily shorten it by taking out one of the descents. We have a full guide on our website here: trailpeek.com/portfolio/auburn-california-trail-guide/
Where you took a left onto Rocky off Mammoth bar road....is the Confluence directly on the other side of the road?
Can you tell me a good bike to get for thrills I can afford $100 to $300
Bro was that you beating Arron gwins Mac to win that bike fuckin amazing
It's on pink bike was sick
Hell yeah!!!
See any familiar trails? :]
Sorta. you made Confluence look like a whole new trail. I was like what gap jump? Haha
you should have seen all the gaps on confluence before they were removed in 2012!
But i need to Get the Goods! On my list..
Guys I wanna a bike but I don't know which one is better? Some people says Santa Cruz but others recommend Trek. So, what do you think?
Santa Cruz all the way. As far as frame quality and customer service go, it really cant be beat. They ride great too!
man another damn trail I have to ride I HATE YOU. I might have to make it out to cali this winter, is that trail good to ride all year round?
Dan Mai You should definitely try to make it out here, it's awesome all winter! Just have to let it dry out a day or two after a rain.
"One of the hardest trails in auburn"
Proceeds to send it like he has no fucks to give.
Is mammoth bar open yet?
Not for motos. you can ride the trails but have to pedal out as the gate is closed.
what tires were you using?
Bontrager SE5 front and rear. Its a good all around tire that you don't have to worry about puncturing or slicing a sidewall.
Recorded 1.25 or 1.5? Faster than it looks..clue me in..
riding confident. eye of the eagle haha
