Thanks I appreciate it, glad you enjoyed it! This was a long one but one of my favorite rides I've done, it's a special place for sure.

Yeah I've seen people go up and over the rock I rested my foot on and ride down the slab, I'm definitely gunna try the slab next time, it just looks a bit off camber.

I think that area has such a perfect mix of things because you have loamy forest but you're also close enough to tahoe and the mountains to get some granite riding too.

Yes I am! I like the angle it gives, I haven't tried any helmet mounts for biking yet, but my snowboarding videos use a helmet mount!

i'm also new to MTB and there's a lot to explore in varying difficulties around los penasquitos canyon and the del mar preserve. i really like mission trails but it can be a lot for a new rider without much experience. i've learned so far to just send it and if it looks steep and tricky it probably isn't that bad once you do it !(but do be careful)

@@lestthereal1 Thanks. I think I’m gonna try and start riding this week. Will be solo so looking for either loop trails or out n backs.

Lucky, I've actually never ridden Jackass and they just closed it this summer for a while for fire prevention, potentially for a few summers I guess? But yeah I think the best place to go and get familiar is Los Penasquitos, everything is pretty mellow but also fun and it's easy to get a lot of laps in. Enjoy!

Thanks, didn’t know the name! This place is awesome

lol I’m just out of shape but yeah would probably be a nicer watch without my heavy breathing I’ll admit 😂

Nice!! I'll be coming back soon, gotta hit some of the harder stuff

Lucky, it's like a 2 hour drive for me. Would love to hit this place every week

Thank you! And no I don't actually, I use a wind cover on the go pro so it probably muffles the hub noise but I also don't have a particularly noisy hub either.

It was a LOT, but definitely worth it. Just took a look at my Strava, it was 2,127 ft of elevation and 16.51 miles!

@@HobbyGoblinTyler yeah, mine says 2737ft 14.3 miles. We got lost for sure.

That’s a huge day, I don’t think I’ve ever done more than 2500 vert.

@HobbyGoblinTyler most over ever done by about 1000ft. For 2700+ ft ot was still barely worth it. If I could learn the area better I think I can put in the same vert but also get braile in there, that'd be SICK!!!!. If you go again, get the way out 🙏

Wow that’s actually crazy you could’ve done both! Yes I’m planning on hitting braille next time too, haven’t seen as many people talk about it but I think it’s actually more my style of riding!

Yes these are totally free and open for anybody to use, plenty of parking as well

Yes Marshall Canyon is great! I’ve ridden and hiked there a few times, it’s really beautiful going up through the creek area

Yep, here you go! www.strava.com/activities/10566088297

Hahah GoPro makes everything look easy, it’s crazy! I’ve seen way too many videos that I thought I’d be fine on the features and when I actually showed up they are MUCH more intimidating in person.

Such a beautiful and unique ride, I absolutely loved it.

Thanks! Greer is awesome and there’s so much I haven’t ridden yet either, every time I go I seem to find something new.

Thanks so much! Yeah I love PQ. And ah thanks, yeah as soon as I posted this I saw on Trailforks that Tunnel 7 is the one over by The Shire. Thanks for clarifying, I’ve wondered why Tunnel 3 isn’t on Trailforks.

Yeah, there’s a few places to park depending on what you want to ride! In this video I parked at the baseball fields off of McCarran and Virginia, lots of parking there. If you wanta skip the bottom section there’s more parking up near the dirt roads on Peavine!

Thanks! Yeah I’m always fully tapped out on the end of this one, especially for that final chunky section 😅

Thanks I appreciate it!!! ✌🏼

Yeah I think it makes it a bit more realistic, sometimes the climb is the most beautiful part of the ride too so I try to show if there's interesting parts!

Thanks, I appreciate it! These trails were super cool and lots more to explore. I always love a mix of rocks and flow.

You definitely should, there some really cool stuff down here, a pretty good mix in So Cal so you can ride a good variety. I'm heading up north in the next month or so, any thing around Santa Cruz or the bay that you'd recommend? I've ridden the Flow Trail, Endor Flow and Skeggs and loved them all but would love to try something new!

@HobbyGoblinTyler Toro park in salinas, Ca is a good place to ride got some good trails. Pipeline an marks canyon are good ones check out some UA-cam videos on these trails. Also fort ord got some good mix of trails.

Awesome thanks! I’ve had pipeline on my list for a while, I’ll have to check it out!

Oh yeah it's an SD classic to me! It's pretty techy for sure, the climbs can be a bit frustrating but the way down is definitely worth it if you like that type of riding.

Definitely go check these out, this place was kinda similar to Sycamore Canyon in Riverside as well, 2 really nice flowy trail systems, but this place has more jumps and such

Thanks that makes sense! I generally just go off of Trailforks but it's definitely not always accurate to what the locals call the trails haha.

@@HobbyGoblinTyler 🤙🤙🤙

Yeah I'm sure this place gets pretty busy, I would be there all the time if I lived in the area. That place is a gem.

Really cool trail system, I'm going to have to visit again soon.

Yeah I'm still trying to get better with holding speed and cleaning jumps, I'm sure the trails get even better with more skill than I have. And they're not slip-ons but they're the old school Vans, yep. I've looked around at some MTB specific shoes but honestly I've ridden the Vans on some nasty trails and I don't think they're holding me back.

@@HobbyGoblinTyler No shame in that at all. I tend to keep my wheels close to the ground but starting to get into a bit of air time the more I ride. Used to have no fear but the older I get the more the cost of making a mistake weighs on me.

Yeah agreed, I would rather ride more and keep it mellow than go crazy and get hurt and not get to ride at all.

Yeah honestly Evolution was my favorite, loved those wooden features. And then Atomic Dog was awesome too because it was a bit more natural and the natural features are what make places unique, like the wallride that I completely goofed on.

its a pretty sad trail. could be so much better. i vote that we should have the shire crew rebuild it.

Here's my Strava from that ride! www.strava.com/activities/10385759699

Yeah I’m generally a solo rider. I think there’s mountain lions in 90% of the places I ride. I just see it as part of the risk, just like surfing and sharks.

This is a GoPro 10 with the Max Lens

Yes I do, I should probably start adding them to the video description. Did you want to see my Strava for this ride?

Yes if u would like to share it that would be cool

Yeah it’s kind of the perfect little gap since it’s kind of a step down but it always scares me each time I hit it 😂

@@HobbyGoblinTyler biggest gap I've done is 7ft. took me a while to get up the sack for it.

That’s huge, nice job. Yeah kind of like with skiing / snowboarding, a lot of stuff will work out just fine it’s mostly getting the courage to try that’s difficult.

It's a 2020 Santa Cruz Bronson. I believe the color is Matte Olive. Full suspension. It's been an awesome bike!

i heard they are adding new things to it. Are they finished or still working ?

@@Qzypt215 I don’t know. I haven’t been down there yet but I am planning to this summer

This was my first time here but I had read an article just a few days before that they just finished adding an additional jump line, that’s about all I knew was new though. Some stuff still covered with tarps and closed for the beginning of the season, not sure if any of that was new as well.

I mostly live in So Cal as well, this place blew me away. Will probably be doing more road frequent trips up to the PNW, there’s just too much good riding up there.

Haha you’re dope! 💙

Thanks, yeah I’m still working up to the bigger ones. I think really the speed is what trips me up, I always do a brake check before hitting something.

@@HobbyGoblinTyler A quite normal reaction.

Yes I meant to go check out the other side as well but I got lost haha. Will definitely check it out next time. What's your favorite trail in the area?

@@HobbyGoblinTyler I like trails on both sides, however the Sycamore Cyn side I prefer as I think it has more technical places and I like the bigger elevation changes. Also the trails on like strava or trail forks names as well as what people call them isn't always the same.

Yeah I’ve noticed that quite a bit, locals using different names from Trailforks or the trails not being on there. I travel to new trail systems a lot so I rely heavily on Trailforks

How long is the climb?

This is The Circuit gym in Bend, Oregon

oh ok

Yep that's exactly what happened, bike shop said it made more sense to just get a whole new wheel rather than do all the work to replace the hub! I have SRAM GX actually.

@@HobbyGoblinTyler Interesting. Mine was an NX which uses an HG hub. When it broke, I figured it was a good time to upgrade to a GX cassette which uses the XD hub body. I was hoping my new XD wheel will be a more reliable design, but sounds like that may not necessarily be the case. Oh well, fingers crossed. Have a good one

Thanks! And nope, I'm on a full suspension Santa Cruz Bronson. I'm sure people ride this on a hardtail but with all these drops it would be pretty rough haha.
