Hey thanks for the comment! I'm glad that you started mountain biking. It's such a great sport with an awesome group of people. You'll be riding fast in no time! There are guys out there way faster than me! Haha. The key is to just have fun and find your flow!

Lol - yes - droppers are a wonderful innovation to be leveraged for our good. Thanks for checking out the video!

It's a humm dinger, for sure! 🤙🤙

Thanks for the stoke!!

haha - it's an intimidating one when you roll up and look down, for sure!

@@mtb_carolina you're right about that one!

😂😂😂

😂 yeah for real!

Definitely gotta be careful on the drop. We got beat by Florida State over the weekend, unfortunately, but all good. There’s more life to live, fun times to be had, and fresh trails to ride! Thanks for watching 🤙

Haha 100%. Hope you're doing well, Hunter! Thanks for checking the video out! 🤙🤙

Thanks, Cory! 🤙🤙

Glad to hear it. Have fun @ Myrtle! 🤙

💯 glad you enjoyed it!

@@mtb_carolina heck yeah man! Pisgah is great! I live in Roanoke VA and went there for a few days. Had fun but did struggle finding my way around, lol! It would be great if you could drop location and loop. Or is Trailforks the best way to navigate out there? Thanks🤘

That's a great idea to start posting the loops so that people will know the navigation if they want to get out and ride Pisgah, which is the whole reason this channel was created. 😂 Thanks for mentioning that. I'll start putting it in the video descriptions. Credit to mtbproject.com for these directions. This is the Spencer Gap-Trace Ridge Loop on their site. Park at the Trace Ridge Trail #354 trailhead and ride back down the forest road entrance, turning left onto Wash Creek Rd. At mile 2.7, take a left at a gated forest road onto Spencer Gap Trail #600. Around 2.9 miles in, make a right to stay on Spencer Gap Trail #600. This trail turns into singletrack from here on out. At mile 4.4, make a left onto Trace Ridge Trail #354. This is a short, steep ride to the top of Trace Ridge at mile 4.7. From here, enjoy an almost 1,000 ft singletrack descent back to the parking lot. Then, to hit bear branch...you climb back up wash creek through the gate, take a right on to the next gravel road, which is called "Mostah Mills", and then Bear Branch will be a couple miles in on your right. It's clear that it is a trail. You'll see one right that fokrs off that is super overgrown and is flat when you enter it, don't use that one. Then you drop back in to wash creek, take a left through the gate, and then right back up the gravel road to get to the vehicle. 🤙🤙

@@mtb_carolina that’s awesome man! Thank you for taking the time to do that!! So appreciative!!!!

You got it 👍

That big ol' fella was eating GOOD in the neighborhood! 💀💀💀

Haha. The tree comes out of nowhere, and then a tree hits you in the forehead. 😆 lmk when you’re around next. We’ll get out there and rip

@@mtb_carolina yeah dude, freakin ninja trees! I’ll be up there mid September and maybe can hook us up with a quick shuttle. 🤙🏻🤘🏻

Thank you! Cheers 🤙🤙

🤙🤙🤙. A full-length video is dropping tomorrow at 11 AM EST at a ?trail? in Pisgah National Forest! LG!

Very much appreciated. 🤙🤙

Thanks, boss. Enjoyed being outside with ya! Let's make it happen again soon. 🤙🤙

You bet. It’s a lot of fun to experience and document. Thanks for watching!

Excellent day on the mountain bikes my friend!! 🤙🤙

I bet so, Jerry. I bet the traffic has increased significantly since then as well. I would love to see some pictures/footage from then if anything exists. Thanks for watching and the comment! #ForeverPisgah

Such a tough call. Both? Haha. Black Mountain is much easier to access and loop. Avery is typically more of a shuttle. Avery has more jumps, black mountain has more flow. Both are pretty technical and a whole lotta fun. You won’t go wrong with either. Have fun! If it were me by myself, I usually do black. If you’re with a group and can shuttle, then I think Avery is the play. Hope that helps!

@@stephenharrill5556 Thank you

You're welcome @skyreains2754. I accidentally answered on my personal UA-cam account, but the thoughts are the same. Did you ever make it out to Western Carolina? What did you end up riding?

Essentially...yes!

Have you checked out Kanuga Bike Park in Hendersonville? They are e-bike friendly and it's an awesome place. If you haven't already been, you should check it out!

Thanks for watching, Benduro. You have a rad channel man! 🤙🤙

@@mtb_carolina I have fun and record stuff. It's a hobby. Just like you

Definitely. I'd stop in at "The Hub" to check out an awesome bike shop, check out the food truck/grab a coffee, get some last-minute items, etc. Then, I would recommend climbing Clawhammer and hitting the right to connect to middle black and then taking middle black down to lower black and finishing at the lower black mountain parking lot. You can also loop in "Sycamore Cove" as well with that same ride. that's about a 7-mile ride probably. Avery Creek is another really fun ride close by. A shuttle is the easiest way to get there. Then, Mills River and "Trace Ridge", "Fletcher Creek", and "Spencer Branch" are all great trails there. Then, at Bent Creek: Take Rice Pinnacle to Green's Lick, descend Green's Lick, climb back up, and then drop Ingles Field to Wolf Branch and finish at the Rice Pinnacle parking lot. Also: Ridgeline at DuPont State Forest is a lot of fun and a great warm-up trail. I would do Hooker Creek and Hickory Mountain on that same loop too. Then, I'd go over to the Corn Mill Shoals parking lot in DuPont and do Burnt Mountain to Cedar Rock to Big Rock. Those are some ideas to get you started. Trailforks or MTB Project should have those loops in their apps. Let me know if you have any questions and have fun! I'm stoked for you! 🤙🤙 Also, Kitsuma is a super fun trail too that is somewhat closeby if you have time.

@@mtb_carolina good stuff! I’ve got a checklist of things to do for sure. Gonna be a busy spring!

@@SlowpokeShred Yes sir. Also, Ride Rock Creek is a new bike park that just opened up at the NC/SC border that has a lift to take you from the bottom to the top. It's awesome! Check it out, if you have a chance.

No doubt about it, Steven. Thank for tuning in! 🤙🤙

indeed my friend. that trail is so good. i haven't ridden it in forever, it seems like.

That drop is no joke.

@@coryliverman haha yep - I've seen many of people walk that one. It can get slippery too

it's an honor to be able to capture this content. i can show my kids that i actually was somewhat cool at one time. thanks for watching!

yessir! quite the enjoyable day!

no doubt! a lot of fun out there with the squad! see you out there sometime.

yeah...haha. a lot of people sleep on burnt mountain, but the stair steps at the end are a lot of fun. i bet it was tricky in the ice!

Yes; Kitsuma is one of the best trails in Pisgah IMO for sure! 🤙🤙

This was a GoPro Hero 9. I now have the 11. The 11 is really good despite popular opinion. You just have to set it up right. 🤙🤙

Thanks for checking out the video. No doubt - Kitsuma packs a lot of bang for your buck, for sure! 10 mile loop, scenic gravel road climb, and LOTS of DH!

🤙🤙

You and I both. Long Live Bailey!

Found it, Zirconia, NC

@@vincedavis5326 Yes sir! Right at the NC/SC border just off Highway 25. See you out there when it opens in December - exact date TBD 🤙🤙

Thanks a lot! If you have any questions before you come out, let me know, and I'll do my best to steer you in the right direction. It's an awesome area with a lot of variety! 🤙🤙

@@mtb_carolina thanks, I’m from the Raleigh area and have ridden some of those trails- Cedar,Bear Rock, Ridgeline, Fletcher, etc. - but certainly not all you’ve featured. I subscribed to the channel.

December 22...shuttle assisted!

Thanks for watching, Zilla. The new GoPro 11's color vibrancy is really good 🤙🤙

Thanks, Zilla. That day was a blast 🤙🤙

Thanks, Felix! 🤙🤙

So I made the jump from a GoPro Hero 8 Black to the GoPro Hero 11 Black. I never had a 9 or 10. I'm sure the 10 and 11 are very similar. From the videos I researched to substantiate the slighlty higher cost of the 11, the 11 looked to have slightly better vibrancy in terms of color.
