  • This place just keeps getting better and better! We joined up with Josh from Slanted Ground for an epic day of mountain biking at Rocky Ridge Park in York PA.
    This ride had everything from gnarly downhills, big drops, and techy slabs. I even found a lot of new stuff to play on thanks to a couple of local shredders. In total our ride was only 9 miles and 1300 ft, but the stoke had us smiling from ear to ear. Everyone was eager to help each other out through difficult sections and a good time was had by all.
    A huge thank you to Josh for putting this all together. He is doing fantastic things with Slanted Ground in the MTB community so if you can please support him by checking out his merch at slanted-ground.com

    This is one of the things that I love about mountain biking No age restriction to hang and have a great time.
    Will is looking MIGHTY impressive for someone who's only been riding for 6 months. That bike-body-separation and mobility seems like second nature to him already. 👌👏💪
    Oh, and that move you did with the tree stump gap...DAYUM! smooth AF. Looking like a trials master. 👌

    Old 4 trail, also known as the Speeder Bike trail from many years ago! Nice wall ride on the slab rock. :) You do so much more than I ever would. Many of the “off trail” features were started by a group from back in the early 2000s who called themselves YAFRO. Old schoolers know them well. Nice edit and video, Sage!

    Please keep in mind this is a shared use county park. A few years back the mountain biking community nearly lost usage of those parks. Continued building and use of unsanctioned trails, features and drops seriously jeopardizes our access to this area. I strongly encourage those visiting rocky ridge to refrain from perpetuating what has become a free for all situation.

    • @TrailSage
      @TrailSage  4 месяца назад

      Thank you for the feedback Jeremy. I try and create content with those sensitivities in mind.

    • @user-gh5ms4lb5x
      @user-gh5ms4lb5x 4 месяца назад

      The creation of unsanctioned trails there has exploded over the last 2 years. I don't think the administration knows exactly how to address the massive increase in usage. My fear is that we're at the tipping point of one serious injury or user conflict and they'll drop the hammer on it and that will be end for all of us. I'd advise anyone unfamiliar with the park's authorized trails to reach out to the York Area Mountain Bike Association so we can all continue to use this park in a sustainable responsible manor. Rocky Ridge is near and dear to many riders and it would be a great loss to the mountain biking community to lose access to the park. @@TrailSage
