If you can't stand to watch some shaky, mid-storm GoPro Footage, skip ahead to 06:42 to get to day 2's riding. I get it, it's not easy to watch, but can't be left out when telling the whole story! Enjoy 🤙
Thanks for the stoke! Back in the early 90's, my buddies and I used to head out that way to camp and ride just down the road in Slatyfork. I have no idea if they're still maintaining those trails but it's worth looking into when you're in the area. The tech hits different when we were running full rigid, no droppers and cantilever brakes.
Even with the rain the ride looked like so much fun, way to keep a high vibe! The chorus of break noises with the music was clutch btw. Day two, yes please!!! Loved hearing the riders in front calling out the features and lines throughout. I need to get my butt to WV stat! Question, (assuming you were comfortable on clipless) do you think the clips would have been better, or where you happy to be on the flats in the chunk?
@TrailSage thanks Sage, truly high vibes that whole trip. I love flats and I've never had an issue in tech with bouncing off. Pretty used to it at the shed and bike parks so no complaints here, we were all on flats
@TrailSage I'd be curious to see you try it, specially now that you've got a set of flats around with the DJ 😉 you get used to pointing your feet when you need to
Looks like SO much fun!! You guys were awesome laughing through the rain. And day 2 looked incredible! Definitely putting WV on the destination list! Are you adjusting the bike geo between bike park day and trail day?
@TheRideAbides dude it was so much fun. If you guys are down we should make it happen next year! I'm not adjusting anything anymore really, keeping it slacked out since that 40 miler that I had it steep for. I MIGHT go to neutral for the winter, haven't decided yet
@evankunz6191 ayooo small world haha that's awesome man we rode 2 days of park that same trip so you definitely must have scanned my muddy af pass at some point😂
It blows my mind (because im always like 5 phones behind in terms of tech) that this was all shot with a go pro and a phone camera...Mind you im still on an iphoneXR. Quality is crazy
@alexthemoonsloth haha thanks dude, yeah all the crisp shots on the galaxy S23! The cheat code really is shooting in raw/log footage so you have the ability to color grade!
@@splooshmtb im stuck in this mindset thats like go pros are stuck in the early 2000s quality LOL Im gonna have to take color grade lessons from the splooshmister
@alexthemoonsloth I'm no expert😂 a few RUclips guides taught me the basics then just explore the options on how you want your specific style to show on your color grading
@alexharry1863 I'm no local here so my knowledge is pretty surface level but I'd say yes, it's all loam, rocks and roots. We rode it during an active flooding thunderstorm and left no tracks 😂
@slapnut504 check the video description boss😉 camera gear, bike, strava/ trailforks data will always be there for ya! But to answer: Specialized S-works Stumpjumper Evo

@TheVertigoCycles yooo i can't even imagine how rowdy that got on those bikes, I know some good times were had!
Beautiful trails! Forest full moss and ferns wow. Nice video thanks.
@toddkx2807 it's wild to see in person!

@@splooshmtb Man, that is incredible. I could not imagine attempting that without my clips. Major Kudos.

@splooshmtb Yea, I haven't made any adjustments yet either! I may raise the back and see how that feels...
@@TheRideAbides I'm surprised you go low BB with all that mt penn tech riding!
@splooshmtb Yea... maybe not ideal! I think I'm high in the rear and lowest in the front. So maybe neutral in front is worth a shot!?
Dude I love your videos and I’m a Liftie in the summer at snowshoe I knew I saw you one day dude
@evankunz6191 ayooo small world haha that's awesome man we rode 2 days of park that same trip so you definitely must have scanned my muddy af pass at some point😂
If you're coming to WV to ride, you should check out Fayetteville also.
@@wvjeepguy8178 I've heard of it, adding it to the list!
That title is a bold statement haha. Next time I'll have to bring my trail bike
@TacticalTyler1505 maaaaan if you brought the trail bike you'd know how much fun we had😂 it was nonstop laughter and yelling lol
Man that look amazing we didnt do al that
@jt_mtb1 next time you need to do 1 day of just backcountry, it was so much fun dude.
absolute banger video
@@logsmtbvlogs had to make a banger for the banger ride

Do you know if you can ride these trail year round?

@ that’s a good point 😂
I wish people would specify what bike they're riding in these videos.
