The Laurel Highlands totally IS considered Appalachia. There are plenty of awesome trails in this area, considering all the fun places within the surrounding area of Pittsburgh, and all the Appalachian Backcountry riding; very raw, rugged and technical. I see your point though, the PNW is more adrenaline oriented riding, while our area is more adventure oriented riding- which is more my flavor. Our rails to trails systems such as the GAP and C & O canal are some of the best in the world, and there’s nothing else in the country that brings in as much tourism for that kind of riding. In our area we like to just get out and pedal.
Whoops, I completely forgot I said that, my fault. Yeah, I agree it is part of Appalachia. But there are plenty of adventure rides out here and in BC as well. The bike specific trails just hit different than multi-use and hiking trails, but I completely understand!
The end of Bradema changed since you posted this. The wood bridge was replaced and that tree was turned into a skinny. A lot of people didn’t like that it got shortened but it’s a way better trail because of it IMO.
I think I actually saw a video of it. Might've been from you actually? Or maybe trail pittsburgh idk, but yeah it sounds better. There was just some awkward up and down on that trail, but I think moving to the PNW has ruined my perspective on western PA trails. Its cool that people are making some more enduro/DH trails like tower hill and allegheny gnar (though Im not totally sure where that's located), but with the lesser experience building trails some of them don't seem to flow super well (tech or actual flow trails) but hey its a start! Also realized Im subscribed on my other account that I use for my own viewing and not from this channel!

Not too bad! There’s fun to be had
For sure! And there are some other trails in the area that are cool too
the best trails on on the other side
Yeah, I didn't really feel like heading over to the slags! But I've watched some videos on them for sure
We’re in Pittsburg
