The Steeps are FAST and ROUGH on Albatross | Mountain Biking the Frederick Watershed
I am about to buy the exact same built. How do think about the bike after a couple month. I ride XC trail in MOCO mostly but go to the shed and bike park for around 20% of my riding. Do you think this is the prefect one bike for all ?
@raaaayli look I'm gonna be honest if you ride XC for 80% of the time, this bike is not going to feel great, it's such a long stable bike - its so good for that other 20% but definitely not for XC. I ride like 70% park and shed and 30% XC so it works for me but I know it's a hog on mellow singletrack. It'll work but you'll probably want a faster bike tbh.
Nice Brother!
@DMVMTB thanks Elvis 🤘🏽
i live in cville boutta shlide
@@LeviHofman come through this weekend, minority mountain bikers takeover weekend.
The green frame looks so good. I wish I could have gotten that one but I would have had to wait until October and they had the gunmetal grey colour in stock in my size so I went for that. It's a bit more understated so I like that but man, the green looks awesome and I would have gotten that if I could've.
@The.JZA. the green is a little loud for me but if you like loud, it does it well!
so when are you going to take me here? :)
@@selisuu when are you gonna come hop on the bike with me🤨
just came to commend you for the quality thumbnail
@rossmandrone oh man thanks so much, stayed up pretty late on this one😂 appreciate it!
What other new MTB trails are there in the DMV?
@j03y__ just to name a few, the intro showed the revamped albatross at the shed and windy ridge park... there's also fully revamped jumps at south Germantown, patapsco got a new trail in the past year, bacon ridge bike park in just over a year, list goes on!
@@splooshmtb good to know, I usually ride in VA
@j03y__ you've got some great stuff too, plenty of VA stuff on this channel!
Nice video brother
@jt_mtb1 thanks Jesse!
Thanks for making this video! Its in my backyard (almost) and wasnt able to attend due to surgery :(
@LionL aw man that's unfortunate, the stoke was high that day! Heal up and come rip it. 🤘🏽
Great video! Thanks for including me in it 🎉😅

Great video and tribute to the newest local bike park and MORE - thanks!
@@KathleenMihm thank you!
Great video Hoping to get out to Wheaton soon to do some laps.
@michaelullmann111 thank you and have fun!
where did you start your ride
@Jad-mt6pb all my videos will have the strava link in the video description, check that out for all the route details!
There's finally one within biking distance from my house!!
@@matthews5876 living the dream, nice!
Love it Zane, fantastic coverage and kudos to MORE. Love that townships and cities are finally getting behind the mountain bike scene. Now let's go folks, get his man to 2k subs!!! Keep up the great work brotha. Sage Question, are they planning on adding a advanced line later?
@RideLaughPodcast i don't know for sure about future additions, but I agree an advanced line is 100% what the people want🤘🏽. Thanks Sage, we are getting pretty close to 2k here haha!
What an awesome looking park! Great edit Zane!! You really captured the spirit & stoke of the day! So awesome to see the momentum building with all these new bike parks & outdoor spaces. It's a great time to be a mountain biker!!
@TheRideAbides couldn't agree more Dan, no better time to be alive! Thanks dude, had a blast making this one.
Dope wooden feathers, that’s awesome man.
@@DennyJannettyMTB they are so much fun!
Sick edit! Great explainer. Super thanks to MORE, MoCo Parks, the council, et al for making it possible. It’s such a fun place.
@RyanCarag couldn't agree more, Ryan, thanks dude! Great meeting you two out there!
Thanks for the video, hope to check it out soon! Love the kiddo-approved aspect for the littlest of the next generation 👍
@@Gnargoyle811 the future of rippers is bright thanks to parks like this! Enjoy!
Going to check it out this weekend.
same, maybe ill seeya there
@paul734 heck yeah bud, enjoy!

What road are you shuttling on? The dirt road i was on the other day was rough
@ajabuell yeah the gravel roads get rough. We stayed on the "new side," so we just shuttled up hamburg road over and over. The steep side would be a bit tricky to get a uhaul up.
Do you know if the 2022 pivot (green - older model) switchblade comes out of the box with tubeless tires ready to ride?
That's a good question! Since I didn't get this one straight out of the box I honestly don't know how they come. I'd love to assume they come set up tubeless.
How much bigger are the hooch jumps than the gin and juice jumps?
@ThePlantPoweredPantry they're honestly a lot bigger, but once you feel comfortable on gin I think you'll do just fine on hooch!
Been on Stumpy's and Enduros for 20+ years. I bought a Rocky Mountain Instinct C30 this Spring bc it was dirt cheap, and I have swappable upgrades from my most recent Stumpy. So far, the Rocky is a better bike than any Spesh I have owned. It is also dead quiet and has Ride9 w/ too many geo adjustments for me. I ride it in a neutral setting bc I live rolling terrain. Great vid. Nice bike, but $$$$.
@petedog9581 that's good to know, I haven't been on a RM yet but their new lineup looks great! Yeah these bikes are definitely getting up there in price
Great review, I’m looking at a possible new bike next year, currently riding a SC Hightower v2 and this build and color suites me. 😎 I’ve already owned 2 Stumpjumpers (2004 & 2018) and 2 Hightowers (v1 & v2) and the only other bike on my radar would be the new Ibis Rilpley. Crazy how much that area you ride looks like here in Denmark 🇩🇰 (I’m from California)… even the high humidity sounds like DK 😅 Again, very nice review. 🤘
@JimLacey357 thank you Jim! I had no idea the east coast was similar to Denmark 😂
Would this be good for my 13 -14 year old son?
@Embrace-Minimalism this would be a GREAT bike for a young teenager. The air fork will make it so as he grows he'll be able to add more pressure to support his weight as well.
@@splooshmtb he is 5 foot 1, just to clarify but thanks so much
@Embrace-Minimalism since he's a growing kid I'd definitely stop into a shop and have him size fit a little, and may even want to upsize.
@@splooshmtb thanks
@@splooshmtb would you recommend for my son 27.5 or 29?
Any filter brand you would recommend ? Thank you for the tutorial, going to be applying your tips soon :)
@VinnieCeeBiking honestly I picked up one of the many $30 sets from Amazon- they'll usually come with ND8, 12, 16 and 32 lenses for all the variation in lighting you may need.
@@splooshmtb Cheers !
sick video Zane! are you running an ND filter on these clips?
@thaynes1832 thanks dude! ND8+custom settings used only on Old Fashioned to highlight the speed, everything else with my usual setup :)
Glad I found your UA-cam channel. As an older MTBer, your charismatic videos really encourage me to get out there and try new things
@gloriousjones7602 hey thanks bud, I really appreciate that. This is a beautiful sport at every age so I'm glad to hear you're still getting after it!
Definitely the best bike park in VA. I live in VA but I usually just go ahead and do snowshoe because Massanutten gets so hot.
I ride rough desert terrain and weigh 215 lbs geared up. I am doing a build right now and need to make a choice between a 150 or 160 fork. I am going to use this bike for my everything bike. Thoughts?
@Nomad-MTB personal preference may come into play more here but I'd go 160. 10mm won't make you any slower on climbs but may bail you out a bit more on chunk.
@@splooshmtb Thanks. Thats what I was thinking. Have a good one.
I go to Blue Mt a lot. Seems to me, a tire PSI 35-40 offers some rim/tire protection from sharp edges and frequent pinch flats. Your mileage may vary.
@@johnochsner7913 how do you get traction at those pressures bro😩😭
Haha i see my tacoma!
@@wolf14900 heyooo taco
Yo bro where this at?
@thepianoaligator bryce bike park in Basye VA, check out the full video I dropped last week, there's wayyy bigger hits!
I apologize. I was trying to pay you a compliment and point you to a fun place to check out that you're already going near. I didn't mean to sound like a jerk. I appreciate your progress and I was hoping to be helpful. My bad. Ride safe
No sweat dude, I don't even remember what you said 😂so I doubt I took offense! I'm just out here having a good time🤘🏽
@@splooshmtb I was just joshing you about riding some really steep and scary western slope massenutten shuttle runs on more tech oriented trails. You do good work.
@HIONMTB haha all good dude, I wanna hit western slopes so bad! Maybe next season, this year we've got some big things in the works!
I highly recommend it. They do a really great job with the shuttle. There's a paramedic. With the right navigation you can take laps that last 2hrs plus. I have a list of 5 shuttle laps that I would run regularly (before I got neck surgery last summer). It's steep, it's rocky, it's bumpy and the people that ride there are a lot of fun. 5 double black diamonds blind in 1 day is personal best there. I hope you make it a priority...that's a day on a bike you will never forget 🤠😉
Your friend has the same 2020 blue enduo that I have 😉
I love silent bikes and silent hubs. Loud hubs can be so obnoxious especially when you are in a peaceful forest and the only thing you can hear is the wind, the birds and some chads 90db hub. Also my GF has some Bontrager carbon wheels and her hub is so annoyingly loud. Riding behind or beside her when she is coasting is unpleasant to say the least.
@The.JZA. different strokes brother! I enjoy the silence of onyx as much as I love the bee hive of hydras but there's a time for both :)
@@splooshmtb Agreed, to each their own but the problem is that when someone else has a loud hub, THEY might love it but they are bothering a lot of other people in the process who are also using the trails.
Bryce is a blast! Haven't ridden Hooch yet, it was closed when I was down last, but that's another reason to return. Great vid.
@slantedground thanks dude! You'd crush Hooch. I've had great hooch days and days like this one where 2 laps was all I wanted to do😂.
Stumpjumper 15 Expert for 6kish or Stumpjumper Evo Expert x01 with rs brakes for 3500 new? I like good climbing bikes.
@Fastblack83 the 15 is going to be a better climber. X01 on the Evo really isn't THAT big of a performance upgrade, specially when being compared to transmission. That being said, saving $2500 for a bike that is going to only lose marginal gains sounds really good to me.
@@splooshmtb Thanks! I'm in Arizona, and having a tough time deciding! I ride in the summer here, and sadly, nobody demos here, so I can't get on much until october or so. I got on a switchblade, and enjoyed that, but I think I prefer longer chainstays on the stumpjumper to help keep the front end down on steep seated climbs.
@Fastblack83 as soon as i read Arizona I was gonna suggest switchblade! I reviewed that one recently and man what a bike!
@@splooshmtb I went with the switchblade! I'm positive it'll be great.
@Fastblack83 couldn't agree more, I REALLY enjoyed that bike. Congrats dude!
How does this compare to the River's Edge bike park?
@markfournette2483 I think this one's a bit better, in my opinion. If you're comfortable on black rated jump lines this one can be way more fun. If you're more of a blue jumper, rivers edge may be the better call!
🔥🔥
🤘🏽🤘🏽
Sick video man! Can't wait to come back and ride hooch!
@blake_n_mtb thanks dude! Definitely worth a rip
Great video and camera work! Looks like SO much fun!! You guys were flying!!
@@TheRideAbides thanks Dan! Bryce is such a fast park for sure🤘🏽
I'm a new rider and not a young spring chicken. Is this a place where I could still learn and have fun?
@Black-Seal-Ghost 10000000% yes dude. Go check out my beginners guide to Bryce video, I think you'll like what you see!
Many thanks... I definitely will. I'm from the DMV and looking to explore places to ride and meet and greet other riders to learn and have fun.
@@Black-Seal-Ghost then you've come to the right place homie!
What's the lift ticket gonna set you back?
@Henry_Faulkner Bryce I believe is right around $50!
@@splooshmtb Nice.
You boys know how to rip it! Wish this place was closer to me cause I really want to hit Hooch. Good save on the one jump! So how was the new whip at the bike park?
@TrailSage thanks Sage! I basically have the bike fully slacked out so it's super stable at the bike park, in the off season I'll steep it back in a bit... but the slack HTA saved me from going OTB there for sure🫣 And yes I think you're ready for Hooch dude! Upper empire at Blue is just as good now with their even bigger drop.
Sending it!
@@TheFighterjock1 ayooo thanks Ben
sick vid I was the one with the yellow and blue santa cruz
@jaredmtb2858 thanks dude! Yeah I remember seeing your bike, looks sick!
Oh wow! Hooch and pickleback were actually open 😮😮😮. Been 4 times this year and they’ve been closed every time.
@davisjl1979 it's been a pretty rainy start to the summer, thankfully we lucked out this trip!
You guys make the pickleback step up look easy! i've been avoiding it after getting bucked hard and OTB
@mrh372 it IS hard dude! I've only gotten it a handful of times, myself. But you really gotta stiffen up the suspension for it, so you don't bottom out going up the face
