So I have almost that exact Spire and Spider is the closest real park to my house but I’ve been up here in the Idaho panhandle since August. What I can tell you is the Spire is a terrible slow bike. It likes to go fast and needs speed to jump well because it soaks up chunk when set up for traction. Silver Mountain was my test drive so I got the full experience. It’s almost too much bike for spider. Maybe a Sentinel would be better? Having ridden up here in the PNW, Spider’s black is a Silver Mountain green or blue.
@@mosquitofleetfishing6599 Definitely a bit overkill for Spider but I still had a decent time. I believe they had Sentinels for rent too but obviously I didn’t go for one of those. Silver Mountain has been on my list of places I want to visit. It’s only about a 6 hour drive so I hope to get out there this summer.
@ silver mountain is very techy, even on flow trails. Enduro bikes are kind of the minimum here. My suggestion is to rent a DH bike for the first trip down. CDA and Spokane are nice courses.
@@kacybennett180 Lift ticket varies for dates and how early you book but the average lift ticket is $39, the bike rental is $99, and if you need gear it’s an additional $25.
Nice!!!!!
That looks awesome. Im thinking of doing it. Thanks for the video.
@@lifeisagamble5342 Definitely worth checking out. Thanks for watching!

Do you have a price breakdown by chance? Like bike rental and stuff?
