I ran across your channel about a month ago. I’m a truck driver, 44 years old & haven’t ridden a bike on a trail ever. This month I’ve not only got on my kids bikes and learned some basic skills but also found a bike park nearby in Canton GA that had a beginner trail and I’m positively hooked. Thanks for doing what you love and sharing it on RUclips.
Get the MTB Project app or Trailforks and you can find trails wherever you are. Also get Strava and start logging ur miles. All are free apps. Also also biking is a great way to a good set lungs and that could save ur life. Best wishes!
I here ya, we have a local trail about 10 minutes away, my home trail for many years, and now my wife's home trail. Really helps out. Keep up the great videos.
While your stuck at home bcpov, you should consider building your own trails / jumps. If you have any property/backyard, if not just somewhere near you house. Nothing better than having your own spot to ride made my yourself, and we would love to watch you do that. Usually I would be out right now building my own jumps but with a recently broken tail bone i want to see other people do that aswell!
I don't know if you will see this. But your GoPro footage is so perfect. I struggle to get the right settings with mine so the videos don't turn out grainy and pixelated. Could you guys do a video on your GoPro camera set up, what settings you use and what you do edit and export your videos so they are clear and crisp. I'm sure there's more people then me want to know your tips and tricks. Cheers guys!
I have always wanted to be able to stand in a spot and go back in time 1million years and see how it was then and how it changed over time. You have a great place to grow up riding!
I found this channel a few weeks ago and it feels so inspiring to go out and ride! Love the things you talk about and the fact Yuca also ride's with you and sends it all, its amazing! I always rode bikes when a kid and now I ride a mountain bike every once a week which is short. Have you ever had that moment when you don't feel like to go out, and have that inertia that sticks you to your home? feeling like that right now... I think I have enough of confinement. Cheers! and put more videos out please!
I'm pretty stoked I have my local trails to ride. Soon, I will be making my home in BC and will have many new trails to explore! Can't wait for that. Thanks for another cool video BCpov!
From the Chicago area and surprisingly we do! It may not be anything you find anywhere else, but with the amount of work the locals are putting in and the changes recently to our local MTB organization things are really shaping up! Especially with the small amount of vertical and land we have to work with.
Great showcase of Ledgeview, these are my home trails as well. I love living in Abby mostly because of these trails!! Keep up the great work your content is getting better and better.
I WISH I had home trails as nice as that. Nevertheless I love my home trails, and rode them every day until the governor closed all of our parks. Sadly I'm stuck with road riding for now
I just got my first bike this week so I'm brand new to all of this. I've been riding my hardtail around my neighborhood and on the HS XC track to get myself in shape and get some technique down. There is one sanctioned trail in my little mountain town in New Mexico but I haven't hit it just yet. I live just west if Angel Fire Bike park so I'm hoping once all of this is over I'll be able to do some flow trails there! Thanks BCPOV for randomly showing up in my suggestion feed and getting me into this fun amazing sport!

I'm so lucky I live in the Tatry mountains and there are amazing trails here. But damn, my rear bike wheel is broken and I have to wait for a new one to arrive. I can't wait to go on my home trails.
Here in Houston my local bike trails are the Ant Hills at Terry Hershey Park. The trails run about 16 miles along Buffalo Bayou, not too technical but a lots of fun! Been riding since I was 14.
Loved this video! I've done my fair share of riding around North America and I still always look forward to getting back home to the trails I grew up riding. (Breakheart Reservation and Lynn Woods just north of Boston in Massachusetts)
Started riding about 2 weeks ago and started watching your vids then, but on day 5 of riding I flew over my handlebars off a jump and broke my collarbone. So now I’m out for a bit but am still eager to get back on the bike. Love your videos keep it up
At my house near OKA, Qc, me and my neighbors just started a private trail building project !!! A lot of fun creating the exact features i normaly like to ride. Alway nice to watch your BCPOV chanel. MIK.
My home trails are literally a mile out my door, don't even have to drive! If we do drive, there's several other trail centers in our metro area within half an hour too, and I think I'd consider them all my home base. Each is a little different based on the land managers, it's great to have the variety.
@@theriskinator5736 I live in Utah and empathize. With all its glorious desert and alpine riding, I spent 20 years living far from any of them. Fortunately, I moved to the base of an awesome trail system, a couple of years ago.
I am able to ride the trails here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Copper harbor and Marquette have some really fun stuff. Super low cases of Covington 19 here. Should come check the trails out sometime.
Hi BCpov team ;) always enjoy your videos ... I am lucky enough to live in Penticton BC, so plenty of home trails. From dirt flow to technical mostly rocky downs to good workout climbs. Not sure if you and your wife have been up here yet, if not, you should once this hole situation has settled, be fun to show you around ....
Home trails used to be the best in Stapleton, until the city caught wind of locals building trails on a cliff side that fell off into a river. It was a beautiful sight, nice, hidden with some great jumps, and dead tree placed perfectly in a clearing. That was until denver parks and recreation came and knocked everything down, woodchipped the fallen oak and to top it off put sand on every square inch of that trail.
15 here I don't have any official trails near me. There's a few unofficial ones but I'm using the amount of time I can be out for now to maybe build some more flowy ones. Should be good I can't wait until I can drive tho
I wish my home trails were as cool as yours but unfortunately I live in the Netherlands where everything is flat af. Litterally 0 mountains and even the hills are low. You learn to make the best of what you got though, and I'm grateful for even having home trails at all!
Even though I live in Colorado, I live in the flat part of the state (think farming and ranching). But I'm sure we can do something like Bentonville, AR and make something out of the surrounding topography. I need to do my spring check of my bike and find a garden rake. I think I could build something simple with that and that shovel I bought in the fall to try building *anything* out here. We'll see what happens I guess.
Your local trails ROCK! Definitely better than my home trails. While I really do like my home trails (meaning the ones within one hour of my house) about 2-3 hours to the west of me are even better trails, but I dont know if I have a "favorite" trail or trail set.
As we suffer from isolation and restrictions, we aren't able to wonder to far from home! I felt very lucky to have Central park, Burnaby to ride single trail. The dog walkers, hikers, hermits, and riders have created over 2 decades a complex channel of trails. Well yesterday I discover who has been manipulating the very small feature( less the 3' , for everyone's enjoyment) It is a junior stuff, very young scientists taking care of the fauna studies and research. She took it into her own hands to block with logs and brunches some of the entrances to trails, as I stood by explaining to her that this paths/ trails have been in use for over 10 years. I also ask her if she was given specific instructions to block/ close trails/ paths? Which she didn't have an answer to, or couldn't answers( so she took it into her own hand to create a dangerous situation! ) I been riding there for over 5 yrs problem free! And a junior stuff decides to take the initiative to, block an specific group of stranded riders, who are been responsible to our society, by staying close to our neighborhood for exercise, to get very short and limited trills. Any suggestion on how to deal with the imposition this young and inexperience scientists has created? She is not minding hers businesses and speaks for Burnaby municipality as if, she is in control of our tax spending and freedom of displacement, and movement. May be, come and ride here to show presence. I'm willing to guide visiting riders.
Yo love this! Wish I was able to enjoy this. I live in LA and moved here from Hawaii. I have some cool places to ride but they are far from where I'm living. It just makes me appreciate that you two get to ride in some cool places but BC looks gorgeous and I'm putting it on my bucket list of rides stay safe. Aloha!
Spokane Washington has some cool trails and I haven't seen any big channels do a video on it yet. later in the summer the best trails are at MT Spokane and there is also Beacon Hill (camp sakani) that has a small elevation gain but amazing trails from green trails to crazy jump lines. recommend making the 5 hour drive.
I started downhill riding back in mid 2015. I live in Europe so I went with my friend in best bike parks in the French Alps. But lets go back in 2015. The thing is that I lived in Vancouver in the beginning of 2015 (January till April). My anguish begins when I realized that I lived in region that is known as "biker's paradize on earth" and I didn't actually know that. I can't believe what I've missed!
Flooding in Alberta has me focused on other things right now. I would love to get to Valemount, or Pinherny in Prince George. I would also like to make it back to Boer Mountain in Burns Lake, B.C. One day, I'll make it to SunPeaks or Whistler. Riding mostly XC at a Ski club's snowshoe trails.
Valemount is worth the trip for sure. You'll love it. If you are going to Burns Lake, you may as well go to Smithers. Then once you get to Smithers, Terrace isn't that much further. So many good options down Hwy 16 now. I'm in PG and have to say that our trails are super underrated. Not a lot of vertical to work with but still lots of fun. Stop in at Ruckus in PG for some directions and then use Trailforks and you're all set.
Aunty's Social and Grandma's mustache are good fun. There will be some more jumps beside paper route, starting at 2 wooden drops. Just look down to your right.
My home town is not the place where I live now. I live in Florida, and my hometown is back in Arizona. It's a tiny town, and it doesn't have any full-on trail systems. But there are hiking/biking trails in the mountain south of town, and that's my home trail. And it's amazing. It's an entire trail system in one trail. About 14 miles round trip if you take the extended access trail. The main loop is only about 4 miles, but most of the time we'd launch a ride from a place a few miles away and ride the connecting trail to the main loop. And from my house, I could extend that loop to a full 20 miles if I wanted. And often times, that's what I did. I miss that trail. But now I'm in Florida, and right now most of the big state park-based trail systems are closed. Most of the trails that are open are run by the towns in which they exist. Which means they're smaller trail systems of only a few miles. That does NOT mean they aren't fun, though. The best one that's still open is about a 50-minute drive away, but it's worth the time to get there and back home.
Thanks for sharing your local gem! Our Stay At Home rules in VA say you should only run and ride in parks you can run or ride to (trying to eliminate crowding at trail heads and on the trails of popular, destination trails). I'm lucky enough to live within 2 road miles of some single track and another couple of paved miles from there to yet another single track system. There's enough variety between the two to keep things interesting. Enough, in fact, that people are breaking the order and driving to the trails anyway. Humans...
I have some really really fun jump trails just a few miles from my house but I've been riding on a 150 fallers bike with walmart special suspension so I'm waiting to get a better bike for Christmas before I head further up the mt
Haha. No healthcare workers coming now.... The cliffs on Ledgeview - beauty and very cool. Am riding home trails at South Surrey Bike Park and Delta Watershed.
my home trails are so boring, really. Just gravel roads and where there are riding spots, they are shared trails and it's no fun riding with the hikers. you have it really good to have nice home trails. cool video
I wish i could ride my bike at the moment but there is just too much snow were i live. Even though we are aproching May, about 5ft pf snow still needs to melt
Easy to say your home trails are your favourite trails when you live in BC :) Definitely not the case here in Melbourne, Australia! If I could drive the couple hundred kilometres to ride at Bright or fly over to Maydena every weekend I totally would.
It must to humbling to think that 20-30K years ago, early man was probably living in some of those caves along the cliff there. I'm in Kamloops, BC. Some of our trails are still closed due to season (higher on the ridge; trying to dry out still). But others are ridable. The ones closest to me are in a provincial parklands, so they've been closed to public use. =(
Those do look like some sweet and unique trails. How wide are your bars again? You wouldn't want to go much wider on that trail along the cliff, LOL! I live in Rossland, BC. We've got some pretty awesome riding too, from flowy trails and jump lines to slabs and exposure, with a few good views thrown in. We're just waiting for the snow to keep melting and open up a few more trails. Lots of people riding the few that are open right now. Hopefully we'll see you and Yuka roll in with your van and cover the area once this is all over.
My home trails have at most 25 seconds of hill and so many roots on the flats so it's hard to maintain speed but is still very fun evin with a hardtall
Most of the trails in Manitoba are in the parks and there closed, may go the trail down the road this weekend but at home I'm more of a roadie anyways, Winnipeg isn't known for mtb trails
my home trails are currently wet, but i could still ride em. thankfully its a whopping 7 minute drive to get there from my house. awful hard to beat that

World class trails right at home! It don't get no better!

Home trails used to be the best in Stapleton, until the city caught wind of locals building trails on a cliff side that fell off into a river.

Amazing variety for home trail. Lucky!

Nice jumps and nature as well
I have seen you before when you went biking in fernie bc
I live in fernie bc and there a hundreds of trails around
my home trails are so boring, really. Just gravel roads and where there are riding spots, they are shared trails and it's no fun riding with the hikers.
you have it really good to have nice home trails. cool video
the forests of endor looking pretty lit
My local trails are closed, occasionally go to another system farther away ,but bummed that my normal trails are closed.
I wish i could ride my bike at the moment but there is just too much snow were i live. Even though we are aproching May, about 5ft pf snow still needs to melt
I like my home trails as well. In fact they featured in the intro, glad you like them too!
I love ledgeview, can't wait until I can go again.
Easy to say your home trails are your favourite trails when you live in BC :)
Definitely not the case here in Melbourne, Australia! If I could drive the couple hundred kilometres to ride at Bright or fly over to Maydena every weekend I totally would.
It must to humbling to think that 20-30K years ago, early man was probably living in some of those caves along the cliff there.
I'm in Kamloops, BC. Some of our trails are still closed due to season (higher on the ridge; trying to dry out still). But others are ridable. The ones closest to me are in a provincial parklands, so they've been closed to public use. =(
these trails are awsome, wish I could ride them one day! In France we have good trails too !
Those do look like some sweet and unique trails. How wide are your bars again? You wouldn't want to go much wider on that trail along the cliff, LOL!
I live in Rossland, BC. We've got some pretty awesome riding too, from flowy trails and jump lines to slabs and exposure, with a few good views thrown in. We're just waiting for the snow to keep melting and open up a few more trails. Lots of people riding the few that are open right now.
Hopefully we'll see you and Yuka roll in with your van and cover the area once this is all over.
My home trails have at most 25 seconds of hill and so many roots on the flats so it's hard to maintain speed but is still very fun evin with a hardtall
I go somewhere that doesn't really have trails, but has a jump line and that's it and I go there all the time
Most of the trails in Manitoba are in the parks and there closed, may go the trail down the road this weekend but at home I'm more of a roadie anyways, Winnipeg isn't known for mtb trails
my home trails are currently wet, but i could still ride em. thankfully its a whopping 7 minute drive to get there from my house. awful hard to beat that
