    I might be making a trip to Raleigh in the near future. Was wondering if there was any good riding. Thanks for sharing.

      @FoCoFlowShow  2 года назад +1

      Yes - tons of good trail - New Light is closed during the week right now but is normally my first recommendation. San Lee is about 45 mins west of raleigh but absolutely the best overall experience

    Sad this is 45 minutes from my house in Raleigh. But I did hear Crabtree is fixing their jump line. Converting the gaps to tables so the line can stay open like the trails.

      Really? That would be cool. I've never seen anyone use the gaps and their jump lines have been getting worn. The flow trail is cool but it would be nice if it was a bit longer, or have a couple different ones.
      It seems Harris Lake could use some updating. I know there's a skills section, but the rest is pretty unchanged.

    The step up and hip on black are really not that bad. You can session the step up by dropping in right from the climb trail into the bottom berm, a few hard pedal strokes and a pop and you will land on the top of the step up hump. The hip you just need to figure out where to launch from since you cannot see the lander until you are a couple feet in the air. That first table at the top of black is the hardest, you practically need to sprint from the drop in to the step down to clear that table. Goliath on Mega-Low-Donn is actually very easy, you just need the speed, but it takes several runs to get used to the speeds at the bottom of the valley without feeling the need to touch the brakes. Blue-blue Mega-Low-Donn is the reason we frequently drive down there from WF. Nice video, I've been curious how San Lee Gravity compares to Berm Park.

      100% agree.... the single track has some of the most interesting features in the area - definitely worth it.

    • @TheDesertRat31
      @TheDesertRat31 6 месяцев назад

      Man. I rode the single track first, the first time in a loooong time a while ago. Last time I rode it was before the highway was finished, probably in 09 I guess. I had heard about the redesign of the trails and the new gravity park. I was smoked after the XC trails. Until I get back in shape better, I'll just go straight to the gravity park. I wasn't sure about going across the water directly to the upper parking area.

      Yea - there are a few bandit trails that you will like but San lee is still the best option. Crabtree has some bmx style stuff in one small area of the trail system.
      If you have a choice of where to live, I’d stay west of the 540 belt line near the airport or south west (briar creek, Cary, apex etc) which will provide great access to San lee and a bunch of other stuff …
