@@nickconol1428 glad to hear! That’s why I wanted to put the vid out there. Give people a little perspective :)

I still need to ride surreal. Early in my Mtb career I went left at the slough not knowing where I was going and scared the crap out of me. I think I could handle it now but 4 years later I have still yet to take that left turn lol!!!! Agreed though, xx and extension are best tech. I’m sure surreal is to, just need to bite the bullet and go

I have not. I don’t remember anything at PD being super narrow so I would imagine 800 will be fine but honestly, for me, chopping them down to 780 is the perfect riding width :)

Hey Jeff! They were 800 mm that I cut down to 780. I really like that width.

780 mm

Late reply sorry! I run 780mm. It’s amazing the difference 780 to 800 is when it comes to missing trees lol!

My daily wheels and what this video was shot with are DT Swiss XM 481's with a Maxxis 2.4 Forekaster up front and Maxxis 2.3 Dissector in the rear. I like it for an everyday most conditions setup :)

Had good luck at Atwood on the leaves with 2.4 Dissectors front and rear. Was thinking about giving Ikon's a try there in better weather.

Yes, Every year around October 1st or 2nd the have a race called Trailmix. Its put on by Rock River Multisport. There is a 2 mile run/10 mile bike/2 mile Duathlon or you can just bike. There is a Sport 10 mile (2 lap) and a Comp 20 mile (4 lap) race. It's honestly my favorite race of the season.

Sorry for the late reply: Thanks Jonathan!! Glad you liked it :). Yes, the video starts where dynamite Road intersects with XX extension. So you just take Dynamite road all the way down, cross the street, and you’ll come up on it.

Thanks! Anytime! It’s funny how videos never really capture the trail as it is felt when ridden lol!

Lol Nick. I would post that but I figured most people would find it boring to watch even though you and I know that climb is far from boring lol

@@shawneggers4484 if i had the legs, would go down corkscrew, stay right to climb the stairway up to tarmac then get back in entrance to monza, lastly get down silo hill back to the creek. Ive seen it done, but i would probably need an ebike in my case.😂

@@nickconol1428 yes, that sounds painful! Let’s just start at the creek, head up silo hill, down corkscrew, up to the bike path, in at monza and back down silo hill to the creek. That should about do it!! Next time I go there I’ll do it and record it so you can watch me suffer lol. Always love a good challenge :)

LOL, not this time :).

Hey Chris, thanks! I appreciate it. Production is nothing like a lot of good content out there but it works for now. Simple and to the point :)

Yes, even Trailforks doesn’t have the blue extension yet. Considering how nice the signs are on the west side are, I’m sure it’s coming.

Agree!! In fact I don’t even know the colors lol, I only know them by name.

Thanks! Gotta get more reps with it. Definitely gonna hit that side lip next time :). Your trip to Arkansas looked awesome btw.

Thanks for the input Sam! Yes, actually trying to keep them under 5 min. Just enough to enjoy but not bore lol!!

Appreciate the love! Not trying to be a UA-camr or anything. I’m just trying to post some good quality, enjoyable mtb clips :)

On trail forks, it’s referred to as bullfrog lake trail. The trail head is right when you turn into bullfrog lake parking lot.

@@shawneggers4484 thanks . Going west ? That is the first trail I ever rode at palos about 25 years ago on 1.5 inch road tires . Couldn't wait to get back to the lot .

Yup, going west :). Yes that trail has changed quite a bit from when I rode it back it the late 90’s lol!!

Thanks for watching Chris :)

Thanks J! I’ll try and get better at this :). Thanks for watching!
