haha this is too good! Had me rolling 😂😂😂😂

Attack of the chin strap!

Ya buddy. Wish I could have made it to that ride.

i cant believe they shut this place down. great memories riding here for sure

🔥we need more please. I don't know how Weegz stays on the bike 😅

What happened to the bike park?

I know this video is old and I know the mountain is no longer offering "a bike park" but do you if people climb up Enduro style and still ride the trails?

🚲💨

That stretched out feeling if you pushed the front end a little more you'll get a better response out of the bike

Kinda ride's like a mondraker

Did it feel overbiked on Galby? Did you have to ride in a super forward aggressive position all the time? Just asking about the negatives I've heard, because I'm stoked on the idea of that bike.

🤘🤘

I was looking to get a Sentinel, and the bike store had a Spire in stock... so I decided to go for it and sell it later if I didn't like it. I've been really surprised at the versatility. Without even trying I smashed my Strava times for both climbing and descending vs. my very old 2013 26" 160mm Trek Slash which is 5lbs lighter than the Spire. Granted that's comparing against a very old bike, but considering the Spire is a pedal-able DH bike, the climbing efficiency is quite outstanding. I've subsequently sold by DH bike (a Giant Glory) as the Spire really can do everything. I'm 5'7" and the Medium is perfect (was worried it may be too big as I'm usually between sizes and go on the smaller side). This bike is generally overkill for most of the trails in the California Bay Area where I'm at, but it doesn't feel like I'm compromising. I've always been very slow at climbing, if there was a Strava award for slowest climber, I would be the winner. So that was my biggest concern -- I'm ok with being slow, but ideally don't want to make things even worse, as there are some longer loops where my legs just give out by the 2nd hour, and I'm having to walk a bunch... e.g. the Demo Flow trail in Santa Cruz, on my Trek Slash I've never been able to make that climb back to the parking lot without having to walk some of it. Surprisingly this improved my climbing times! I'm definitely not rocketing up the hill... but I'm not getting tired either, just keeping up a consistent pace as I work my way up. And for example that Demo Flow trail I mentioned earlier - with the Spire I've been able to ride the whole way back without stopping or walking. That's amazing for me! And on the down, on the occasion something intense comes up I feel very confident at just going for it. So yea, I've decided I'm going to keep it as my all purpose bike. As Roost mentions, it's a bit more extra work on extremely tight switchbacks due to the length, so I find I have to concentrate a bit more to work tight corners. Considering its size and travel, you'd think it'd be a big boring lumbering tank that you just point down -- but it feels surprisingly light and agile... I've heard people mention this in reviews, and found it to be true, if you really lean into it in an aggressive stance, something noticeable happens. It comes alive, like turning on the nitro, or like in Avatar when the Na'vi people of Pandora connect their hair to those flying dragon things.

What size did you get? How tall are you?

Does is feel plush like DH bike ?

Where’s this mans at I miss the vids 😂

Nice vid, tracks look fun

I have great memories of snowboarding here from 1991-1995 (while I was in the U.S. Navy).

I got my son one of these last month from Velorangutan in Austin. Such a great bike!! He LOVES it

I love watching people progress that exhilaration and excitement I love that feeling great vid

Yeww shreddin bro👊

Great video! What bike do you ride?

Very cool.👍

At 7:23 the huck over the wooden drop (whale tail) is nuts!!!

Awesome ride bro! I was at highland last Saturday had a blast. Awesome park

Lucky to have a spot like this to shred dude ! Very jealous 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

Looks like I’m not going back there for a while, my dad fell on the first part of lower Cat’s paw, broke his shoulder and 6 ribs

Holy crap man, I ride these trails all the time! Too bad I didn’t see you!

😎

Nice! You probably could have bunny hopped it. 😎

Send it bro! I was there 2 weeks ago. Amazing park

Really awesome park! I was there few weeks ago

Those are some sweet trails man and some great riding skills you have. Greetings from a Colorado youtuber. Ride on.

Always wanted to go there good stuff🤙

You can def hit Pinkbike drop- just follow someone in and the landing is pretty harsh so be ready for the berm!

that place looks fun! Always go over the log, they'll get you if you don't. haha

"Not my most stellar run." haha! Was that your dad? that's a total dad comment.

How does it compare to Reign 29 and Hightower?

Vibesss✅✅✅✅

Sweet! Which one did you like most?

That place is definitely improving.

Is powder ridge open?

Great video!whats the name of those trails?

This place looks really fun! It and Mtn Creek are both 1:30h away so I have never been here

You hate uphills.

So glad I found this video. Great content dude, you got a new sub. How does this compare to your Spartan? I already have a 130/120mm trail bike and looking for a second bike for some bigger all mountain days, enduro races and the occasional park day. I'm torn between the Spartan and Troy. Thanks man!

Nice session 😍

Super 👍

Looks sick
