    Just a heads up, this was not the first DH specific trails in the Denver area. Golden designated multiple DH mtb trails before Floyd hill was open to the public. Also this is not in Denver. It 30 miles away...

      Mark Sowinski thanks for checking out the video. the area is considered the Denver Metro area. Here is the original news post regarding the trails. theknow.denverpost.com/2019/10/03/sluice-mountain-biking-trail/225479/

    Sick video bro. Keep the Colorado vids coming. That's awesome! Can't wait for my next trip up north, will definitely be making a few passes at Floyd Hill. I owe him one, he took my truck about 20 years ago. Blew the motor coming back from snowboarding in my 1953 Chevy. Sad, sad day.

    Not in Denver, it's in Evergreen so you can expect at least an hour drive roundtrip to get there from the downtown area.

      50mtb there is one main line with a lot of harder technical off shoots. There is so much off this one line that I couldn’t even start to show you all the B, C and D lines. More Vidz to come??

      JF Rides I love Frisco, Ruby Hill and Rhyolite Bike Parks for liftless-DH, Ridgeline for single track! A Basin for a climb that rewards you with great DH! How does this climb compared to A Basin’s climb to Black Mtn Lodge?

    • @JFRides
      @JFRides  5 лет назад +2

      Josh Archer I wouldn’t compare this to anything further than the front range. Depending on your fitness this climb could wreck you or be absolutely nothing. We are only talking about several thousand feet of climbing. For me this is the best of a lot of trails just out side of Denver for a quick weekend or after work joy ride.

    • @joshuaarcher1337
      @joshuaarcher1337 5 лет назад +1

      JF Rides totally agree! I really love our front range trails that don’t ascend to the clouds, since I basically just tolerate the uphill in order to enjoy the short lived DH at the end!!! Your video showed me Floydhill is what I’m looking for, a long DH at the end, so the climb is worth it! 😎
