So great, you captured a really balanced edit of what RR had to offer!🙌😃 Loved that you captured so many good lines and features, and your riding did them justice!😄 Nice work Sage and Dan!👊 Hillarious outakes, that #7 rock garden takes no prisoners😄
Jared your advice and tips were spot on brotha! This video doesn't happen with out you, thank you. As for 7, you're right, super tricky getting that going up, lol.
Nice video.....I live in York and have been riding at Rocky Ridge since 1972. Back in 1972, it had just become a County Park and was there was a toxic waste dump to your right as you pulled into the small gravel front parking lot (in 1972).....it was a Super Fund Toxic Waste site back in the 90's, they dug up the landfill, encapsulated all the nasty stuff and reburied it. Back in 1972, Sue's Trail was narrow singletrack that dead ended near the eastern boundary of the park. At the time, what is now called Trail 5 was the only other trail and it was a deer track that eventually became singletrack. It started from the front parking lot (in 1972, there was no back parking lot) and followed pretty much the path now as it did then. I am one of the founding members of the York Area Mountain Bike Association, we started the 501-C non profit organization in conjunction with the York County Park System in 1999 and built a lot of the trails you were riding on. We build and maintain miles of trials in the York County Park System at several County Parks in cooperation with the York County Parks. What that means is, we get approval from the Parks board and management before we remove or build *anything*. *Humble* brag, at 4 mins 20 seconds into your video, you were transversing a rocky technical section.....I' 63 years old now, but back in late 70's......I cleaned that with an English 3 speed with fenders and twin wire rear baskets (I used to have a paper route) Just sayin🙂 At any rate...awesome video and if you want to learn more about YAMBA or make a contribution..... P.S. You guys check out Kain Park (Lake Redman) yet? There are trail maps on the YAMBA website......check it out. yamba.org/ Thanks!
That's some crazy history George! Thank you for all that you and YAMBA do. I have yet to check out Kain Park but if it is anything like Rocky Ridge, I'm in! I wish I could visit more often, but we are from Philly so it's about 1:45 min for us.
This video is a perfect example of why mountain biking is both exhilarating and entertaining - the hits definitely keep coming! The editing and bloopers add an extra layer of fun, making this clip a must-watch for any mountain biking enthusiast!
This is a CLASSIC trail age video! Love it! Love seeing you on the trails! Thanks for keeping me company as I try to reduce some of my symptoms on the couch! I’m gonna go enjoy the rest of the video ❤
This Rocky Ridge Park looks fabulous. It was so much fun to watch this video (as always), and I was imagining me riding those trails. And you guys rode those trails so well. Thank you sharing this amazing video with us Sage. And Kudos to the YAMBA trail builders! Amazing work!
Thank you so much Luis! If you ever make it across the pond I would definitely take you here. And yes, huge kudos to all the folks maintaining and building these awesome trails.
@@TrailSageYou're welcome! I always try to help friends (as much as possibl€€). No, I haven't received your email yet. No worries, it may take time to cross the pond 😁😁
TrailSage- Fantastic video. I followed your route this morning. Awesome ride, love the tech here. This place was no joke! Great challenging climbs as well.
Right on Brian. Glad you got a good ride in. We just went up there a week ago and found some more cool stuff. I hope it continues to evolve. Thanks for commenting and watching brotha.
@@TrailSage I will definitely be returning! I’m normally in the Frederick watershed and love it there. I’m glad I found another gem I’m located in the middle of! Thanks again for the awesome previews of the trails!
Watch your POV shots make me feel like I’m playing a video game! 🎮😂 you’re a beast for getting out there and crushing those trails like that!! 💪 Awesome video my man!!
The Ridge! What a fun video, Sage! Nice job on Bootleg, that trail is a beast and you guys nailed featured after feature! It's cool to see you and Danny shredding our local spot, hope to run into you there one day! 😃🤘
Hey thank Nick and Katie. I'm a little jealous you get to call these trails home. Hope to run into you both someday out on the trails too. Keep pushing!
Great video, looks like you found a bunch of the good stuff up there. It’s such an awesome place to ride especially considering it’s size. You guys look like you’ve been riding there for years!
Yikes with the rocks!! Rocky Ridge!! Sage back at it! Love the bike cam! Awesome angles of the ride- big rocks and lots of trees! Janky and steep- a tough combo!! Good job guys!! Stop the tech talk - ridgy thingamagiggy! Now you sound like me!! The bloopers😂 bet you get some bruises after a ride like that. Wow!! You guys are tough!!
lol we have that "screwing up words" department covered. Thanks for watching Kirsten, this place really pushed out limits for sure. Bruised egos and bodies, lol.
That's an awesome place to ride and to work on your technical skills Sage! Even after having the privilege of a sneak preview of this ride in your members area it still gives me chills to see you ride this stuff without even kneepads 😂 But you clearly know what you're doing and I am pretty sure when I take you up on your offer to show me around when I travel over the big pond, it'll be a challenge for me to keep up with you on that tech rides 😉
I totally agree Christian, this is a great place to progress your tech skills. And a trip to the states should def be on your bucket list. As for pads, I have never had any luck with them. I actually find that I ride better without pads but it's a risky game. Thanks for watching a second time ;)
That multi rock roll to drop feature you showed in the intro was torn down and roped off at least 4 times before I moved to oregon in 2021. We tried reasoning with the parks department to keep it open but they weren’t very against that. Seeing it open makes me happy :)
@@TrailSage the trails here are amazing, well taken care of but dusty and not as technical. I have since fallen in love with climbing and paddle sports as well but the mtb scene is great.
Great video dude! Such a fun place. Love us some rocky tech! Can't tell how big most of those drops are on camera... hucking it! Should probably have added something about Jimmy Mack's ice cream afterwards too... "Pump the brakes on the 'big' scoops... I think I can handle it." LOL!
OMG that was too funny, Jimmy Mack's is the best!!! Thanks for helping me get all the b-roll for this one Danny. I think our efforts paid off for sure.
@@TrailSage it’s definitely nice having it right down the road from where we live. Is there any good trials worth driving from York out your way?. We’re looking to branch out and explore new trails. We’re visiting cacapon in West Virginia in a few weeks
@@VividtrailZ Mt Penn is our local and if you like tech and gnar it's a must visit for sure. Michaux and Fredrick are probably closer for you though, and those two places are also exceptional. I have videos from all of those spots, so check them out if you want to see what they are all about. Hope that helps.
Fantastic ride guys!! Great looking trail! The rock features were super cool and well handled by you, grrreat riding boys! Stay safe and see you on the next one ❤🇨🇦🍻
Oh wow, what a great place with fantastic trails, so many opportunities to train your riding technique and have fun. You two did a great job and it was awesome to watch. Was that after your injury? Great work and as always a brilliant video Sage. Thanks for sharing and ride on brother🤙
@@TrailSage That's impressive Sage, it didn't occur to you that you needed to work on your confidence. Great work and I'm so glad you're doing well again. Keep up the good work and have a great day
I need to get here ASAP! I love that there are go arounds for anything too big. I'd really be able to get a lot of practice. Very, very fun video, brotha!
Awesome video!! Gonna check this out now. Used your Michaux video to navigate it a while back and it made for an amazing ride. Long live East Coast jank
Corker set of trails those Sage!! If there ever was a set of trails that could be labeled "flow-tech" that was it... Great job on the riding and edit as always mate!!
Rocky Ridge looks like a great place to ride! Those trees make it tight in some places! I can't imagine a horse going through there either 😂 It sure wouldn't be a gallop! Love the bloopers, Sage!
Dude the janky off camber roll you did must have been nutty in person, I haven't found that one or the line of smaller drops that you did before that! Sick video man, gotta love this place.
@@TrailSage next year I will be doing more Hyrid style training, think this Sunday will be my last running race for a while … new things on the horizon !

So much good stuff here Zane. We should def hook up there at some point brotha! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Couldn't agree more, we'll make it happen!
I feel like I find new lines to ride every time I go to Rocky Ridge.
It's certainly a special place. Thank you for watching.
There's a very nice 6 foot drop off of trail 6 "The Gut". You have to cross the stream; there's a trail on the other side. You'll see it.
Right on Stuart! Thanks for the heads up. I don't get there often, but I will try and remember that the next time I'm at RR.
Looks great and pretty tough!.. looking forward to getting back on to my bike soon(gravel).
I was wondering about your gravel bike. Winter is a good time for it. Plus it will give your legs a break from running. Thanks for watching James!
@@TrailSage next year I will be doing more Hyrid style training, think this Sunday will be my last running race for a while … new things on the horizon !
My second watch. It is a great trail. I would like to go for a run on it. I imagine the Eastern States course has terrain like this one.
OMG you didn't have to do that Richard... thank you! If the Eastern States is anything like this you better tape up both ankles, lol.
Good edits :) awk on the big d ahhaha
lol Thanks Jo!
Looks like it might hard to #findthatflow on this one but MAN the rock tech looks awesome
lol it's definitely a different kind of flow for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting Forrest.
Nice video. Want to try this place out now
Make a Birdsboro video
Thanks Justin. I have been meaning to do that but I hardly ever ride there. Mt Penn is just so good.
How’s your shoulder feeling with the jumps and drops? Nice riding as always
That was about 3 weeks after I was cleared to ride and it held up fine. The confidence on the other hand, lol. Thanks for asking Steven.
