    Sunfish is an excellent local trail. Maybe not worth a long drive from the west side of the cities. The guys that maintain the trail are out every week making improvements. They do an excellent job.

      Absolutely, that trail punches above it’s weight in the fun department.

      what do you consider the best tech train in Minnesota? I am in texas and moving to Minnesota for the summer so i dont have another heat stroke riding. What is the best trail to move to in your opinion?

      @@kylebrigham7932 where in Minnesota will you be? In the Twins Cities, Lebanon Hills mtb trail is considered to be one of the best, if not the best. Carver/paradise just opened last year and could knock Lebanon off the top spot. Cuyuna is a great system, its about 2 hours north of the cities, and the Duluth area has some great trails too.

    Best part sunfish is, it opens way before other trails after rain. It can salvage a weekend.

    Best sunfish vid! Made the big skinny look easy. That hip thing on the left after the rock drop is fun too just have to aim pretty far left to hit the landing properly.

    • @KrisYahner

      Thanks! I'll take a second look at that hip next time I'm out there. All I can see when I look at it is my body careening into a tree, haha!

      Thanks! I’ve ridden that thing a bunch at this point. But there are still those times when I enter in the wrong gear or don’t line it up correctly and I have to put a foot down.

    I live less than 10 minutes away and I love this one. It makes for a good changeup from riding BC all the time!
    Also props on the rainbow drop, that one is spooky.

    This is my local lunch ride. I love that I can go get a handful of jumps in, eat a sandwich and get back to work in short period of time! Its a bit janky but I think thats part of the fun! Your bottom out comment on that log is spot on and had me laughing. Well done video as always. Love all the 3rd person shots!

    • @KrisYahner
      @KrisYahner  Рік тому

      Yeah, it’s definitely my go to ride when I don’t want a long ride but I want a fun ride. That said I did 17 miles out there when I filmed this because I kept having issues with my GoPro. Haha

    • @KrisYahner
      @KrisYahner  Рік тому +1

      Thanks! I've made it up there to ride Mejumpolis and Stone Age, but not the others you mentioned. My problem when I'm in Duluth is that I'm having too much fun riding the trails to stop and shoot any video.

  • @Dialed1

    Enjoyed all the thirds in there. That place is fun, small but fun. That skinny though.. That is one hell of a skinny, I’ve yet to tag that one, only rode here once and I passed that one up. Was hoping to grab it this year but time is of the essence. Great vid!

    • @KrisYahner
      @KrisYahner  Рік тому +1

      I don’t think you’d have any issues with that skinny if you went back. It’s intimidating but the key is getting lined up right and being in the correct gear to smoothly pedal over the hump.

    I live like five minutes from that. Didn't even realize. But I'm also pretty novice even though I've been biking for years, and 37 going on 38 is starting to feel a little old to START doing features like this.

    • @KrisYahner
      @KrisYahner  Місяць тому

      They have some blue and green loops too. Never too old to start trying features! I've got 10 years on you. Just start small and work your way up.

    • @harrygrimley4352
      @harrygrimley4352 Рік тому

      I'm intrigued. I'm a bit competitive but at my age and limited experience with mnt biking not sure if it's a good idea. Also I'm limited with funds so the best bike I have ever owned is a three year old marlin 6. It seems like a fall sport so I missed out this year. I really don't know much about it.

  • @BrianVaughn

    So I heard they added something that was getting people hurt on that black loop. It's an interesting trail. Just not really someplace I feel satisfied after riding.

    • @KrisYahner
      @KrisYahner  Рік тому +1

      I can understand the not feeling satisfied part, sometimes it just feels like you are riding from feature to feature but I have a lot of fun out there. It’s been my go to trail lately when I want more fun and less miles.
