Taking it back to where the first Dialed in video was made! Had fun riding this with you and Sam this summer, Bloodstone really has a way of bringing out the not so family friendly language in everyone.
Absolutely, that is right! Yea man, that particular ride this summer was a rough one for me on Bloodstone, lol. Crashed on that rock skinny turn. But yes, Bloodstone can turn anyone into a foul beast👺 for a day😂
Yea man, wanted to keep this one raw to highlight the soul crushing nature of Bloodstone! Pretty happy with the bike now; It took a minute.. 29 is just fine, Yeti was prob ideal for this trail...
Thanks brother! Yea, it’s funny the polarizing response this trail emotes. Some love it, some hate it, I’m sure there are some in between that you don’t hear from. I think it’s rad to have trails like this mixed in, It helps expand the skillet if you’re open to it. It’s a challenge that feels good to get through. It’s not always fun, and can certainly release some language and emotion. But once you conquer a difficult section, it can leave you with a sense of accomplishment.
Thanks Andrew, It’s definitely become more manageable the more I have ridden it and similar trails like out at SplitRock wilds which I’ll be featuring later on in the series. I’m assuming you’ve rode this trail? How about Splitrock?
@@Dialed1 yeah I rode Bloodstone a couple times this summer. Once you learn the lines it gets a bit better. I've just started doing double black tech over the last year and loving it! It's amazing how much you can progress over a season! Piedmont has been my stomping grounds. I haven't tried Splitrock yet. Looks intense though!
@@RocksteadyMTB That is awesome, I love Piedmont. I’ve been doing much of the same, mixing in the black tech to broaden the skillet. You’d really dig Splitrock, It’s just a longer set of trails and the whole thing isn’t like bloodstone but it does have extended sections, almost like there’s a few bloodstones out there amongst all the trail. The place is at the top of my list right now in terms of Minnesota trails. I’ll have some videos out on the place in about a month once I get done with the Tioga videos.
@@Dialed1 well I'll have to get up to Splitrock and check it out! It's good to mix it up bro! Down hill, tech, xc, and flow! Love it all! Thanks for taking the time to chat man! Hopefully I catch you on the trail sometime! Keep up the good work!
You know it! I’ve had a few recent videos in the past month, documenting a road trip my buddy Evan (in the video) and I took. There was so much footage, I’m splitting it up into many episodes. Hope you are doing well! Enjoy!
I feel like it’s easily missed unless you’re specifically seeking it out. If one were so inclined to seek this trail the signage at Tioga is pretty stellar.
Back to where it all began. Damn Bloodstone really got Evan’s blood boiling lol 🤬 I’ve experienced micro-rages on this trail as well. Did you guys get the two piece combo with a serving of El Jefe before the main course just to make it extra intolerable?
Yah! 👊These types of trails are growing on me! I like that you kept this raw. Awesome to see the cleans and the struggles! Unfortunately there is not much in the TC area to prep for this stuff. Guess I just need to spend more time in our northern region next year.
The only section in the city I can think of off hand that is a good prep is Brownie lake at Theodore Wirth. Some of those sections are down right savage! Yea these types of trails take a bit of ride time to figure out how to enjoy the battle that ensues.
Thats not bad at all. Will definitely need to make it up there.ive just been hitting local trails right now, enjoying the sb115. Super stoked for AZ in december!
Kirk, you’re right on, I’m glad someone noticed! it was some painstaking audio work on this one, I layered both audio tracks, and mixed them to get enough clarity from whoever was talking, basically ducking the audio of one while increasing the audio from the other and vice versa.. Yea, I really liked how the audio came out on this one.

Potty mouth Evan! 😂
Such a grueling trail. That yeti was just eating it up though! 🤙🏻

I absolutely love that trail, good look at it in its entirety! That first spot that got Evan is my nemesis, just so awkward… Great vid! 🤘

Can’t say that Bloodstone is my favorite trail but you rode it well.
Thanks Kris, It’s a challenging bit of Tioga that’s grown on me. I am glad they have this trail here to mix things up.
Nice job pushing through! Taking the walk and cleaning those sections! Respect. Bloodstone is no joke. High highs and low lows of emotion.

@@RocksteadyMTB That would be great, It sounds like we are both after a similar mix of riding.
Yep looks like a good addition to the upper Midwest mountain bike options. Sweet!
It’d be right up your ally.
Love that kind of techy trail ! Sick video my bro 🔥👍
Thanks brother! Hope all is well! What’s the next adventure?
@@Dialed1 bro december Moab,sedona and Tucson
He’s back in the saddle again! 🤘

Watching this at work. Had to turn down the volume 😳 place looks amazing. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Yea, this one is raw by design, wanted to include the full spectrum of human emotion that comes from pushing the limits!
@@Dialed1 I get it. Just caught off guard. Those rocks look hard. Did some black diamond at cuyuna and it was all loose sharp rock. 😟
You guys just keep making dope ride videos! Keep ‘em coming. Can’t wait for the next one to drop!
Thanks dog, they’ll keep on dropping like it’s hot. Trying to roll out weekly vids on this series.
"Fuckin' fuck fuck are you fuckin' serious" Probably a direct quote from me when I rode that trail.
Yea, this trail can really bring out the best in people, 😂 what’s your favorite trail out here?
@@Dialed1 I was there two years ago. I don't know that there was one stand out trail, but I loved the system as a whole. Everything was fun.
@@Chris-pw7ov Indeed, Tioga is a blast!
That does look like an interesting trail. I didn't ride it when I was there but I don't think I ever saw the entrance.
I feel like it’s easily missed unless you’re specifically seeking it out.
If one were so inclined to seek this trail the signage at Tioga is pretty stellar.

Micro-rages, 😂 We did not! That would have ended in macro rages no doubt. We can do that next time we get up there.

Great riding as always! I gotta hit Tioga next year. Looks amazing!
Definitely, It’s not much more of a drive than Cuyuna, I’ve done day trips here. How’ve you been? What’s the latest trail endeavors?
Thats not bad at all. Will definitely need to make it up there.ive just been hitting local trails right now, enjoying the sb115. Super stoked for AZ in december!
@@hungrymtngoat I bet that thing will haul Elm Creek. Meeting up with Tenzin and the boys? That’ll be rad!
@@Dialed1 yeah man! We have a sizable group from mn going down there too. About 5 of us.
Nice riding guys!!! That trail looks TOUGH! Did you use the audio from your GoPro when speaking and the video from Evan's? It sounds very good

@@Dialed1 Wow nice work! It's definitely noticeable 👌
@@Kirk_Knoll Thanks brother! Any recent rides?
@@Dialed1 I did get one more last minute day in Duluth which I have a few vids coming, but nothing other than that 😒
@@Kirk_Knoll Rad! Can’t wait to see the vids.
