Pushing My Limits at Keystone Bike Park

Come along for the ride as I explore Keystone Bike Park with Bobby and Reme. I rode here once many years ago, well before I started riding bikes at the level I do today, but this place still had a way of making it feel like it was day 1 on a bike at certain points. #bikepark #mtb #mountainbikepark #gopro #mtbpark #mountainbike #downhill #keystoneresort #keystonebikepark

The gang and I take on Angel Fire's World Cup track one feature at a time and break down different lines and options from top to bottom. With varying experience and skill levels, we all look at, and ride things a little different but put it all together to make it to the bottom and push ourselves to do something new along the way! #bikepark #mtb #mountainbikepark #gopro #mountainbike #downhill ...

Sad Bike Hours
Переглядів 6462 місяці тому
After a pretty gnarly slam on Trestle DH the day before, I opted to lap some more mellow flow trails with my friends. After a few runs and overshooting a jump on Day Trip, I heard something rubbing. When I stopped to check things out, I discovered I had snapped the seatstay on my rear triangle and it seems the patrol may have finished its service. #bikepark #mtb #mtbcolorado #gopro #mountainbik...
Can We Clean Trestle DH?
Переглядів 9763 місяці тому
Join Sara, Bobby and myself as Bobby guides us through Trestle DH for our first time. A lap down 36th Chamber and Rainmaker gets us warmed up and moving, Tater Patch to space ape puts us on our game, then right into Trestle DH, a fast double black tech trail to pre ride and scope things out. We followed that with a party lap/full send down the same, and finally a Cruel And Unusual lap to finish...

We're back at Angel Fire Bike Park in New Mexico for this video, testing a new camera angle down Hungry Hippo with the boys, and testing our skills down one of Angel Fire's most infamous tech trails "Graveyard." Does Graveyard live up to it's name, or will we make it out alive? #angelfire #mtb #gopromtb #bikepark #mountainbike #mountainbiking #downhill #graveyard

Ripping down Enchanted Forest with friends. Nick and Sara lead me down the trails at Apex Park in Golden, Colorado. A good mix of flow and tech make for a super exiting descent on the bike.
Better than Bikepark? Freeride Mountain Biking in Utah

Who needs a bike park when the entire desert is your playground? Sure you have to hike your bike to the top of every feature and line but with descents and options like this, I'm not complaining! Here's a couple days worth of my friends and I challenging ourselves and each other to progress and have the best time just riding bikes out in the desert.

Toughest Trail in Colorado? Fish Creek Broke Me!
Great overview of how to hit this pro only trail. Nice job and congrats! I hope to achieve this line sometime.
@@BOOSTEDDUDE Thank you!! Glad you liked the video. And just keep working towards your goals at your own pace and you’ll be there sooner than you realize!
@@ChuckHucks Yeah man, I've hit everything at Trestle except this. I also can clear the big jump on 5 points. I'll probably start working on Banana Next year starting with the first two features!
@@BOOSTEDDUDE heck yeah!! You got it for sure! Mousetrap is the scariest in my opinion, as soon as you got that, you got it all!!
Also I am a Colorado front range rider and love content like this!
Awesome! Glad you liked the video, I'm trying to create more videos like this, but I snapped my enduro frame earlier this summer. :( Just got a new frame in and getting it built up, hoping to start filming more trail rides very soon, so keep your eyes out for new videos, or for me on your local trails! :)
What’s the travel on you guys bikes and what are the bikes you all are riding? Fantastic video. I do like to see the gnar and flow…but also the struggle at times! I slipped on a root the other day and am hard on myself for not riding a section better but you all are so resilient😊
I was riding a 2017 Transition Patrol set up 155 rear/170 front, Sara was on a Knolly Chilcotin 151 rear/ 160 front, and Nick was on a hardtail I do not have exact details on! Slips, falls, and fails happen to us all, and there's always room for improvement, but those challenges are what motivate me to keep coming back for more!
Great perspective of the mountain! (DH rider from Colorado here) looks well maintained, some classic breaking bumps, nice jump lines with big hips. Honestly this place looks sick. What’s average the descent time for the trails you rode?
@@JPdiscgolf Angel Fire has it all from easy flowing blues to larger jump lines, steep tech, race courses and everything in between, and is one of the best maintained bike parks around! Average descent time will vary depending on routes, resting time, and ability but anywhere between 7-20 minutes is a good estimate.
Hell yeah dude
I’d love to hit this. But last time I was there I rolled up to the lemon drop, said nope and walked back up to continue down space ape or whatever else is right there 😂 Great job greasing it all! His backflip onto the whale tail was insane.
Hey good on you for respecting your own limits! Knowing when to walk away and save something for another day is a valuable skill that will keep you safely progressing! I spent plenty of time watching, listening, practicing, and walking away before finally hitting everything in this video. And thank you! It’s been a goal of mine for a while that feels so good to reach! Dom is on another level, and watching him ride is always a treat. Over the last year he’s pushed me and taught me so much, I’m stoked he was able to help me make this! Happy shredding friend, and hopefully I’ll see ya out there!
Rippin'!! Glad to see you're okay after Helter, that one is tricky. Thanks for coming out!
@@KeystoneColorado it sure is! I’ll be back to clean it up!
❤
@@remliik1 ❤️
This is the second vid I've seen that the frame broke. The 1st one was Orange brand and it literally snapped in at least 3 pieces. I'd never buy Orange just because of the way they handled it. I'm glad to see you walking away.
@@justsayin3600 luckily this is a transition patrol and transition is better about handling these things. Problem is that it’s a 2017 frame so spare pieces are a little harder to come by :(
Nice vid man, Trestle looks mad fun. Never biked in CO but I'm gonna be out there next month. I'll def be hitting up Rainmaker, what are the best jump trails there in your opinion?
@@HutchYT thanks man! Trestle is a blast. Rainmaker is the go-to jump trail for sure, finished out by Boot Camp to BeeAllUCanBe makes a fun filled lap. Spicy Chicken accessed from the top of Olympia lift has a fairly fresh rebuild and is super fun, and if you’re looking for the ultimate flow lap 36th Chamber spits you out at the top of Rainmaker for tip top to bottom fun!!! Don’t get stuck on just those trails though, there’s loads of fun jumps and features all around the mountain if you look for em!
@@ChuckHucks Hell yeah, I wont have much time but I'll definitely try, Thanks for the tip
That sucks dude, feel for you. Happened to me before as well, Giant reign. Hope Transition hooks you up.
@@arokit thanks man, sorry about your reign too :( I’m talking with them and trying to get something figured out so I got my fingers crossed! DH park laps are fun and all but I am missing my trail rides right now.
Justed finished racing at trestle. DH was definitely the most difficult, especially choosing the right line. Nice job!🔥
@@sjaspect9677 there is no perfect line down trestle DH hahaha! I rode it a few days before the race this weekend and it was way looser than when I filmed this video too. Thank you and I hope you did well and had fun in your race!
I'll be there for the 1st time in about 4 weeks, 8/18 - 8-22. It looks like all you have to do is carry natural speed vs. pedaling to get up to speed, to clear all the jumps. I'm going through videos because I don't want to ride a trail to get a feel before riding it. I just want to ride it 1 time to clear everything on my fist run.
@@justsayin3600 any boner log you see definitely check up a little bit, both the one on hippo and candy land will send you to flat if you’re not careful! Otherwise pretty much everything is trail speed. I will always recommend the pre-ride, re-ride, free ride rule though, or follow a confident rider in! Have fun, ride safe, and enjoy your trip!
Came here because I'll be coming to AF mid September for 1 week. I've never ridden on a legit mountain. All we have here in Texas is Spider Mountain. I'm super stoked!
@@justsayin3600 heck yeah you’re gonna have a blast!!! Spider might be small but it’s a great park with plenty of fun to be had!
Awesome riding. Went down Trestle DH for the first time yesterday, took my time and scouted before riding it all, but felt like I needed some beta on better line choices and this video was great, thanks!
@@larshardhaus1 heck yeah! Happy the video helped! It’s definitely a trail where line choice is crucial, and you’re doing it right scouting everything first. There’s a few sections we looked at for a while and rode more than once to get a good feel for and I still didn’t nail the line choice, but as long as we’re having fun on a bike that’s what really matters!!
With a bike like that, you better be riding expert lines.
Every mountain bike video should start off exactly like this one. Best intro ever. 🤘
@@RideWithGravity thank you! 🤘
I used to live and race XC out of Steamboat and that used to be one of our training rides on hardtails no less and as a loop from town. Boy have things changed but it's still a great technical test even if you shuttle it which is way more civilized! Great video. Sorry about the finger.
Training that will no doubt make you a better rider! Can’t imagine how rough it would be on a hardtail, respect to you for that. Fingers doing pretty ok at this point but is still a reminder to choose better lines and fully commit to them haha!
really enjoyed watching this video man; really love how much fun you're having just experiencing the mountain biking. i just am getting into it so it's always fun to see other people make their way ! <3
Glad you enjoyed it! There’s always something a little magical about riding bikes and I’m glad I could spread that stoke. I just got into it this last summer too, and it’s provided some of the most amazing experiences and friendships! <3
Nothing worse than the nut racker. 😂. Nice ride
Grew up riding that trail when it was nothing but hardtails on the market. It was pure XC then.
Mad respect for riding that on a hardtail! My tail hurts just thinking about it!!
