“Usually sketchy is fun” yessir
Good times Jeff! Just like the old days when you had to have serious skills to make it down some those trails on those old bikes.
Hellz yeah! Representing the hardtail!
For the likes man, all for the likes. I live near Lynn Woods which you absolutely dominated on a hardtail.
LOVE Lynn
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss how about Lynn Woods for an on the trail skills clinic someday?
It's gonna be a great day...start my day off with coffee and a trail boss video!!! Love it and haven't even got through 30 seconds. Another hardtail!!!!
Thank you!!!
Nice clip, I saw you on Saturday. My boys got lots of confidence seen you on your hartail bike. Great park.lots of fun.
Thanks dude, hope they had fun!
Serious skills
Wow Mountain Creek has changed so much , in a great way. Sure do miss riding there. Nice job with the HT !
Man those are some seriously chunky trails! Usually I can pick out lines in videos like this, but DMLH is as natural and raw as it gets 😅 loved the video!
Thanks!!!
You make it look very easy Jeff! Hardtail rock!!🤘🏼🤘🏼
I love these gopro riding videos! That pipeline nosebonk was sweet!
I think i go about that speed on my dh bike!! lol You are a rockstar!
You should feature the hardtail only in the videos no need for the full susp, you give me hope that I make a good decision selling my enduro bike and get a agresive hardtail
hiked up the Stigmata roll down and holy mug! Your POV does not justice for how steep and rowdy it is! Kudos to you!
I dont have much of a budget so I ride a gt aggressor pro.. Not a crazy bike but hey I rode it down most of the trails you rode and it held up fine.. I had a amazing time and thats all that matters
that's what's important!
I remember doing a hardtail DH race at Mtn Creek back in 1999 (pre-Diablo era). It's definitely fun.
Funny thing about Mtn Creek - if you want to feel like you have the whole mtn to yourself, go ride the natural trails. ;-)
facts!
"Sketchy is Fun" I cant agree more sir🤙
I love taking my hardtail on things most people wont...it has made me such a better rider in every way! Great video and well done!
I remember doing a race on Stigmata when it was new and it destroyed so many people. By the time the EMTs carted someone to the bottom of the hill someone else was already queued up for extraction. Diablo delivered.
These trails look like they would be challenging to even hike on. You are crazy man!
Tune in next week when Jeff does the same trails on a gravel bike
Lol
Is it *really a double black diamond if you don't do it with drop handle bars? :P
Awesome. I rode all the way to the feature Stigmata successfully on Saturday, checked it out, and decided I wouldn’t do it just yet...but I want to! You killed it. And I’m on a DH bike lol
Nice job!
Sketchy is fun!
Great job Jeff - NJ where only the strong survive.
Great inspiration for me because I just think certain things aren't possible on a hardtail, and you just go out and prove me wrong! I'll be out at Mountain Creek all season with the Commencal Metal HT (I was the one you met at Thunder Mountain hitting Fort Hill last year :P)
Thanks for posting! And yes, DMLH is roughhhhh.
Let’s HT session Fort Hill. You can show me how it’s done!!
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss I'm game! I'll definitely be making a few trips up to Thunder this season.
You can ride anything through anything if you're skilled enough. For racin, a Hardtail is not ideal here. I also know your joints and body feel wrecked after hitting single to triple diamond trails on a HT. Thank you for sharing, and giving us the end impression, "I'll be riding my full suspension next time I come."
I would 100% stand behind your decision!
That's bad ass on a hardtail been to the creek before I'll be staying off that trail even on my full suspension
66000 subs! I remember when you cracked 10k! Atta boy. Internet beers to you Jeff
Really love your vids man, learnt a fair bit, and I'm a hardtail lover so it's nice to see someone show their skills without a 10k megabike!
Legend. Double black on a HT with trail tires. Haha!
Very cool Boss
Oh yeahh that was great. I did my first ever downhill at Snowmass Aspen on some blacks and your commentary was a lot like mine. Talking to yourself in the woods is an unfamiliar deal. Well woth the risk of sounding insane
Coolest cat to ever pedal a bike..💪😎
Thank you Marybeth
Nice, crazy video!! Thanks
That video was redikyelous! (see what I did there?) I'm a hardtailer, so this was right up my alley. I bet Steve from #hardtailparty would love this tech!
Stigmata.. wow it's been that long but what a great Trail I miss Mountain Greek AKA Diablo
Still rockin my Diablo Freeride Park t-shirt from 2008!
@@marybetheby5184 I still got my sweat jacket Diablo Freeride Park
@@ericjohnson2590 Ooh nice!!
thank you for validating my foolish notion that I don't need a FS bike. hardtails forever!
Yes!!!
If you want 700+ft of technical dh that's free with endless trails, head to frederick watershed in Frederick Maryland. You'll be happy you did
Gotta get back there.
New work has been done as well, a few machined trails that still have plenty of rock the shed is known for. Also just went to Mtn creek for first time last week, lots of fun to be had with a lift so quick!
Great job 🤟
The. Akers does not do stigmata justice. Have you ever been down sideshow bob? I believe it might be the harder than DMLH
I have ridden the Bob's as well, they are definitely gnarly, I think DMLH is longer though, it's probably a toss up.
Have you ever been to blue mountain? They have some pretty cool tech trails there
In PA or the one in NY? They’re both fun
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss PA
My hands hurt just from WATCHING this
Lots of fun. Remember safety 3rd. What tires are you running on your HT?
Well you have to be crazy or Jeff Lenosky to ride DMLH on a hard tail!
I did it on hardtail
Yeah I won't be taking my HT there lol
Jeff I only ride a hardtail what tips would I have for stigmata on it im a but nervous not the steepnees but this to bumps sticking out
Try to stay loose. That’s the most important thing.
hey Jeff, some of the sponsor links in your video description don't work. I was curious about what handlebar you're using but the bitly link goes nowhere.
Sorry. Those are 30mm rise PRO Tharsis bars
My hardtail hates rock so much that the thru axle comes loose anytime I ride chunky rocky trails.
I'm gonna do this on my hardtail...why? I don't know 🤣
How can you do all this rock like there is no rocks there. Lol wait! Just missed you riding a hardtail!!!!!!!! That's gangster !
Dude is a high level athlete..👍
@@marybetheby5184 You are great. When i grow up i want to be like you. No jk
Damn Go Pro doesn't give Ripper justice..It is a steep pile of rumble...The intermediate tech at MC would be double diamond at almost any other bike park..double would be pro line or closed
what's up with the new ink?
Got any videos on camera placement? for some reason all my chest mount footage looks like i'm filming from the perspective of my junk!
Damn bro you make it look so easy. What fork does it have?
DVO Diamond 140mm
Next time it needs to be fully old school rigid !
Jeff can you please stop your jackhammering..lol..Those trails are insane..nice run on hardcore hardtail jeff..
Is a cheap hardtail with 100mm susp able to do those trails?
What size wheels and tires do you run on your HT?
Trail boss💪👍👍
What hardtail do you have ??
haha I saw you there
i have a low travel full suspension bike, what trails would you recommend at mountain creek?
You said “ D L M H”
I know I screwed that up every time
I ride a hard tail and I get out on local tech. Sometimes I feel pretty beat up after a long rocky tech section. Did you feel that way after this ride?
Great vid and way to hang it out there on a hard tail!
It works you a little more for sure.
Hard tail is what I roll
jeeebus
DLMH? Better read that sign again Boss.
I know I say that everytime! Death Lunch Metal Hour!
Lol and I thought upper breakout and pipeline on a hardtail was cool...
It is!
