Black jumps on a Blue trail - Wayne’s Trail - Frederick Watershed, MD [FTR Series]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- With gap jumps ranging from 8 to 16 ft there’s no way Wayne’s Trail is a “Blue” mountain bike trail, and holy crap is it fun! We took the time to session each one before putting it all together at the end for one full pull, and it’s intense. Of course, there are ride arounds for all of them, so you can pick and choose which ones to hit, but there is no avoiding the rocky gnar and steep chutes toward the end, so keep your wits about you.
TRAIL DETAIL:
As stated above, the gap jumps are not mandatory and range from about 8 to 16 ft. Starting at the top there are about 6 jumps. The first one is the perfect squirrel catcher because if you can clear that with no issues then you will probably be ok on the rest. The last gap jump might not be the longest, but the ramp is the tallest, so you will get plenty of airtime. My advice, if you don’t have someone to tow you in, just give it more speed than you think you will need. The landings on a few of them are not case friendly, so it’s better to be on the save side.
After the gap jumps the trail turns into the typical Frederick gnar with rock gardens and steep chutes the rest of the way down. Speed is your friend if you can commit to the insanity, otherwise pick your way safely down the mountain. At the bottom you will have a creek crossing that will dump you out onto Mountaindale Rd.

FTR (Follow The Rider) is a new series focused on mountain biking one or two specific trails. It will be different from my POV videos in that there will be no b-roll or music. The goal is to give viewers a look at a complete run from start to finish.

Great video Sage. Looks like that sesh at Ceres set you up nicely for these jumps. Gonna be hitting the shed in April and Wayne's might have to get on the list
You ain't kidding. It actually all started with the Hans Rey jump on Mt Penn. But you're right the session at Ceres made a huge difference.
Def add this trail to you must hit list Sam. I was hesitant because it was labeled a Blue on Trailforks, but these jumps are def a Black.
@@TrailSage yeah those were legit gaps for sure. really nice work clearing that whole line...
@PhillyMTB so when you coming to Ceres...
@@BentSpokesMTB It's happening soon Steve. I'm gonna hit you up. I need some of that Sage confidence when I go to the Shed in a couple months!
When in April? I'm gonna be there the weekend of April 5th
This is the kind of content we need more of! Great riding from all three of you, keep 'er rippin!
Thank you so much Jim!
Those jumps look fun!
Oh man, we didn't stop smiling the whole time, lol.
What a great day! Your confidence was so high!! Love to see it brother! It was cool wearing the camera again. Nice to see you in the front once and awhile!
Thanks Danny! We were all achieving maximum stoke that day. So grateful to have these days with you and Stick.
OMG, amazing video Sage. It makes me wanna work my jumping skills very soon. That Wayne's trail is soooooooooooo long.
Yes! You got this Luis. I just started doing this type of stuff in my 40s. We are never too old to learn.
I asked for more jumps and you delivered. Nice work kid keep working on em jumps!
Ha! Right on Sean, I do my best to deliver ;)
Looks like a sick trail! Good work on those jumps guys! 🫡
Thanks Nick and Katie!!!
Dude! That was nice! Awesome video. 👏
Thx brotha! We had a blast that whole day.
Awesome video
Thanks Ron!!!
Healthy nervous is good, well done with the jumps boys 👏 It was looking particularly bumpy out there today 🚴
Thanks Martin. Sometimes its hard to tell the difference between the right kinds of nervousness's. Bumpy lumpy trails are my happy place ;)
I can't believe you guys climbed off the fire road😂that might be a shed first. You bois crushed those gaps, I love that last one cause it overshoots you so hard but still is comfortable. Also ride looked great with snow down.
Oh man the snow had us worried on the jumps, but after a few test runs we got more confident. Your video totally inspired this ride. Thanks Zane!
Wayne's is always so fun! MORE actually funded a proper jump line w/ legal maintenance, so those jumps will be removed & replaced and improved in the near future. Come on back when they're done!!
That sounds awesome Nick. I hope they keep the spirit and essence of what Wayne's currently has. I like the ramped jumps with gaps over the lippy table tops you find everywhere else.
@@TrailSage we hope so too!
That was a wild ride Sage, those jumps were big and the trail was very bumpy, but you pulled it off cleanly and took all the jumps, it was awesome to watch. Great ride and awesome jumps mate. Thanks for sharing and have a great week🤙
Thank you so much Christoph. We are def starting 2024 off the right way. Let's do this!!!
Nice work - definitely a blue trail by The Shed standards but for an average rider the black jumps is a good callout
The Shed def has its own trail rating standards for sure! lol. Thanks for watching and commenting Forrest.
Nice one Sage... Those gaps were... sizable mate! Nicely done! And nice to see you ride for a change as well. Nice tough!
But... I find your lack on knee pads disturbing... Hahaha... Seriously. I don't know how you ride the tech and chunk you do without them... :D
Ha! You are not the first to comment on my lack of knee and elbow pads. I've tried a few different brands, but I've never found ones that I like. I prefer the minimalist approach I guess ;) Thanks for watching and commenting Phil.
@@TrailSage I bet... But Knee pads bro. I have had my pair for AGES... They're a hard shell. And the state of the left knee makes me shudder... Every tear and scuff would have been in my knee cap. I managed to catch (on video) my knee htting the ground in a crash... Watching the pad take the brunt of my knee sliding into a root, the impact of which left a massive rip in the pad.. And innitiate the roll I ended up in... Was worth every cent I paid for them.
@@TrailTalesDang brotha! You should def do a review on those pads, that story you just mentioned is powerful.
@@TrailSage Hahaha... Mayhaps... They're an old set so I doubt peeps woul be interested in them...
That’s some serious bromance $hit right there. 🤣
Spreading the love and stoke whenever possible, lol.
Ok so Fredrick watershed was good. But don’t ride boundary line it is in horrible condition.
Right on, thank you for the insight Ethan!
