Whypass Trails: Ode 2 Joy x2
Every year the "old men" pick a spot and have a 24 hour ride event. For the 2024 edition, Whypass (Carpenter Bypass southwest of Eugene) was the location. Ode 2 Joy is one of my favorite trails in the system to lap. It is a short fun black diamond that has a little bit of everything. Here is a sample of the 24 hours of Whypass event with two runs down O2J.

Corvallis Bike Park - first visit didn’t disappoint
Переглядів 126Місяць тому
Corvallis has a bike park that gets better week after week because of a few (maybe one) very dedicated volunteer builder! The jumps are getting bigger and there are 4 or 5 lines you can follow. There are more improvements for the future, but if you go you won’t be disappointed. And it was a real leg workout.
Whiskey Run Trails: Jughead x2

Did they ruin it? - Tiddlywinks 3.0
Переглядів 212Місяць тому
COTA has again upgraded the iconic Tiddlywinks trail outside of Bend Oregon on the "river side system." In a upgrade about 2-3 years ago a number of jumps and improvements were added to the jump line (about midway down). And in what I call version 3.0 they added more jumps (gaps and tabletops). Some online comments were negative to these improvements indicating they (COTA) "ruined it." I think ...

Another video in my effort to document the trails around Corvallis, especially in the McDonald Forest (the Mac). This is an old time classic of Crosscut to Funnel Cake to Bee Sting (what some now just call Funnel Cake). Still a very fun ride.

sick dude keep up the riding
Heading there tomorrow morning before the rain! Only been once... any recommendations? Im just getting back into mtb but ive been riding bikes my whole life. Can hit smaller tables and drops just nothing crazy. Thanks anyway! Nice vid
Have fun, Y2K will be good. Ode to Joy and a flowy easy ride is Northridge.
@OMMBCOregon i ended up hitting ode to joy and mama tried, as well as snake path. Definetly going for y2k next time and northridge sounds like lots of fun! Thank you 😁
Best crew
Hit Parade is such a blast! Just about a year ago I had a massive wreck landing on the little bitty bump @4:10 and smashed into the tree on the left at nearly full speed! I thought I broke ribs and an arm, but turned out ok, just sore and bruising. I would have broken ribs and arm if not for the chest/back plate and arm guards. I think it's foolish to ride without them. I just hope the shirtless kid learns that before he has a fatal wreck. I hope you got to check out Y2K and The Gift! Y2K is my fave.
Craig, what's your favorite trail in MacDonald Forest? I'll be riding up there some time soon for the first time in 30 years.
They have some great “new” trails. I would ride Secret to Secrets Out, the Playtime. Another good ride is Politic to Word to your Mother to As You Wish. Both start from the top of McCoulloch.
Do you have a stabilizer setup on your chest?
I used to before the GoPro’s got better with built in stabilization. This is a Hero 10 and I wear a full face helmet with the camera mounted to my chin. I found it gives the best view of the trail and while other parts of your body move (chest, arm, handlebars) your head stays pretty still. I don’t like the view with the camera mounted on my head.
Just rode it for the first time this weekend. Best riding in the state!!!
I didn’t realize that you could ride emtb there. I can’t wait to go back and try 3.0
Yep, still not officially okay.
Not a "flintlock" this is a "matchlock". Both are muzzleloaders.
Thanks for the clarification. I’ve made the correct.
Is this the old BMX track in Southtown by the Mary's river?
Yes. It has been cleaned up and improved.
I have never heard of this bike park. I will go. I like how you stuck the ending. That's what your gloves are for.
I have yet to ride this so I don't know if 3.0 is better or worse- What is your opinion Craig?
I liked the changes. Especially after it got a little bit of rain to pack it down.
Your rear shock top mount bolt is loose. I can tell by the sound
It was. I got that fixed. Good ear.
@1:28 you said "wide enough" but meant narrow.. These are the trails I grew up riding and we were continually cutting our bars shorter and shorter to gap trees- It's Eventually mine were 15" including bar ends. On this trail there was no option to the left at the time and you had to gap that or crash in deep brush. It took me a whaile to get used to the new geometries with short stems and 740-800mm bars!
Cool
Relaxing vid
Sick
That was fun!
Where is this spot?
Fall City Oregon. Right in town. You can jump from both sides.
👀
Heck yea
Hard landing
They are 17 yrs old. Hard landings mean nothing them!
I've up there only once maybe 15 years ago. Glad it's still a trail. Thanks for your videos I really appreciate them.
Excellent! I haven't rode that for years.
Helmet of and walk and talk
There is either crazy gopro effect or too much beer the night before.
Wow- it's a freeway now! It was all of 7 inches wide in the early 1990's. The jump @7:02 seemed way bigger back then LOL!
Was this originally "Groove Tube" in the '9o's?
I think so, but I think it fed into New Groove. About a third of the way in we make a hard left, which is the start of NG, Groove Tube fed in at that point. It is still there, but we ride Roller now to get there.
AMWs are so sick
Where were these trails @? Looking to go ride them!
They are in the City of Coquille Oregon in the Hundred Acre Wood park. Here is a link to the trail map. cms3.revize.com/revize/coquilleor/Hundred%20Acre%20Trail%20Map%2010.19.23.pdf
why would you want everyone to know you have no clue whaat you are doing. not something to be proud of. lol
Just saving the world thru my own mistakes!
This reminds me of the time my grandpa put a new exhaust on my moms truck. Well weeks after myself and my dad went elk hunting. One morning werw heading out to our hunting unit when we see a whole flock of turkeys. There was at least 18-25 females and 4-7 males. My dad slows down to take pictures when suddenly the males come up and start gobbling! We were confused when we finally realized it was the exhaust! Everytime my dad revved the engive and the exhaust did its thing (i dont know much bout vehicles) the males would come closer and closer while gobbling! They got so close I could have leaned out my window and pet them which of course I didn't. 😂😂
Woah woah woah. Thoss turkeys didnt have to say all that nasty stuff to u, im sorry bro, thoss turkeys need to learn a little respsct 😂😂
Lmao They think their little Diva's and the road is their runway😂
Красота 🙃
Clipped in? Shheeesh, bro, even I converted back to flats- And I rode toe clips for 30 years. Pinned flats are a far superior riding experience. Sweet vid though bro!
NIce, Thanks! Looks like a fun low-skill trail anyone could have fun on!
Yep, just takes a bit to get to the trailhead.
My old boss Cody (Uncommon in Philomath) was telling me about this. I think maybe he went with you one year. Looks like a fun adventure.
He did and it is a great ride.
Yep he did and it is a great ride.
They do that😂😂 😂😂😂
"Thanksgiving is murder! Stop the genocide!" What do we want? "Gobble". When do we want it? "Gobble gobble".
They chill when they know we are nowhere near Thanksgiving 🦃 yet. 😭😭
Look at these turkeys holding up traffic!
The most beautiful place on the planet!
Out for their morning strut, or heading to roost ?
That looks like a great trail!
Yes mountain biking in the snow sucks
I've done it its not for everyone am I right guys 😊
Cheers for teaching the kidnappers what not to do 😂
Praise shrek
Praise Jesus forever ❤
