  • Horsethief Drop is a trail I wanted to climb for over 11 years. On my fourth visit I finally got it bottom to top without any dabs, I'm pretty stoked I made this climb but even more stoked I NEVER have to try it again!! lol
    Check out the breakdown here:

      Yeah, if you have never ridden this or "walked" it, you would really not understand just how sick this is.

      It doesn't count unless you ride across the wooden stakes at the barb wire....go back and do it again.

    The one thing you don't mention if that you're doing all this at altitude! Makes it even harder! Congrats!

    Wow!! Jeff, this and Brandon's 8600Ft film are prolly the best things I've seen and I watch a ton of RUclips MTB stuff. I watched some of your tips videos to work on skills little by little. I've been track standing and trying wheelies in my backyard amd mellow flat trails so they can hopefully translate to the mountain trails. The other day I went with a couple friends and we were climbing a rocky section and I got stuck trying to go around a rock/corner , but balanced in place, tossed my front tire in place to straight out and got through it without putting my foot down. It felt better than hitting a jump or a drop! Thanks so much for all the content and stories you share to help other people. Cheers sir!

      Unfortunately we are at the point where a 16-year old pea-brained Karen can get the number of views this masterpiece video has ..... in just a day or two, simply by wearing skimpy underwear and showing off her nice body to the world online. Not an ounce of talent is needed. Just a nice body shape and a pretty face given to them through no merit of their own.

    I watched the other video yesterday. Now I'm watching this play by play version and in sitting here at my desk at work and I almost feel out of breath watching this! I was an avid mountain biker about 15-20 years ago now and just listening to Jeff breathe as he's ascending brings back memories of riding these very trails in Fruita, remembering that anaerobic stage during the ride(s) and remembering how much better shape I was in before a wife and 3 kids back at that stage of life!

    • @JeffLenoskyTrailBoss
      @JeffLenoskyTrailBoss  4 года назад

      I have a wife and 3 kids as well, it's never too late to start! Especially if you focus on trials and tech riding you can do it with the kids!

      @@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss the two oldest are 8 and 11. I actually got them their first mountain bikes this past year and they've gotten the bug a little. It helps keep me motivated to keep riding as well even though my single days of bike trips out west are a past memory. At least it's a healthy way to keep them outdoors away from screens.
