@@BikeLifewithRob I was at Merrell today my first time, did 2 laps. The new jump line is fun but my skills are not there to completely clear everything safely yet. Also looks like the entrance and the way they mark the trail is now different from your video. Will need to go back again.
I like how in case you forget who you’re watching during the video, just look at the bar Tough spill, but happens when you’re willing to take risks. Nice
Just before you came to a stop before the crash I saw that rocky ridge and thought "DAMN! I don't think I could ride that section", and then you crashed lol. Glad I am not the only one. In all seriousness though, great video. You have a lot better skills than me. Now I really have to check this trail out regardless though.
Just make sure you check the weather, if it rains the trail usually closes. On Facebook you can check West Michigan trail conditions to ask if it's open if you see rain.
Eating before a ride seems like a no brainer , then why did I never used to eat a damn thing before a ride and wind up with zero energy half way through a trail. Its incredibly important to have something on you're stomach before you ride. I would say I'm just stubborn to pre ride change. Good video. This trail looks fun.
In my trail ride-list. Nice vid.
Get it!

@@benjapolcycling yeah, trail is a little different from the video, keep practicing the jumps.

Thanks man, you do have to step outside the comfort zone if you expect to get better!
Do you know which way this is going? LIke for the day bc doesn't it rotate every day
It does rotate, Trail has changed a bit since this video, not sure what day this was.
Live about 3 miles from there...love that trail!!
It's a great trail for sure!!!
I live across the street from merrel my favorite trail
You are lucky! Merrell, Cannonsburg, SGA, and Luton all a stone throw away.

Russell Poyner 🤣 that one hurt a little landing on rocks and then having the bike land on me!
I'm probably headed here this weekend! It's nice to get a quick preview to know what to expect!

Grab some food! Thanks for stopping by
I started cracking up at 1:34 because I fell at the exact same spot!
It's like a surprise at the top of that feature, and then I froze, and then the rest is history!
haha, nice video. I've fallen sideways everytime I try that rock garden at the beginning
Ye last year my dad fell on the same point except on the left side then he gashed his shin open on a rock
Nice video man! Some of those features looked like a lot of fun! Sub'd :-)
Regular Guy Mountain Biking thanks!
Tubeless fo sho...
