I really enjoy riding in FL, but you have to travel whenever you get the chance, it'll really broaden your perspective on MTB. There's tons of amazing riding in the southeast USA that's absolutely Worth it.
I'm so busy that I can only get out once in a while to do 4-5 miles and 500 ft elevation change at a park a few miles from my house (out here in Eagle Mountain, UT). I literally live through your vids most of the time, then go out and try to emulate a small amount of what I see you doing in large scale.
Anytime you're out on the bike its a good time. Doesn't really matter if its 5 or 30 miles. Eagle mountain, that awesome, you've got a ton of good riding out there! Thanks for the support
Absolutely epic guys! I know it's always better to be there in person but you did a really good job at capturing the beauty. Insane. Another great video! 🤘🏼
Thanks 👍 I'm pretty sure there's some mountain lions out there. You know what they say, they see you and you don't see them lol. But seriously, I don't consider them a concern at all, its such a rare occurrence to see one.
This has been a great series so far, really looking forward to more. Great video, good balance of voice over and live commentary. As a map lover, I really appreciate the google maps stuff at the beginning. :-)
I've did most of that ride, one of mine best trails CO , you captured and narrated it perfectly , thank you for another excellent episode, Happy New Year guys, cheers V!
great video, that ride looked epic. I'd be interested to see what you put in your pack for a ride like that eg food, hydration, which spare parts you pack. etc.
Thanks Scott! It was absolutely epic. For these trips I tend to pack quite a bit, I'd rather carry too much than too little, so I'd say most people would be comfortable with less. I don't carry this much stuff when I ride my local trails.

Great video . I just ( told my wife ) not asked that I plan to do this this June/July lol . Since I only live about 2.5 hours from here . Quick question : what time did you start and end ? I need to gauge my riding time and feel it will take me all day . But that won't hold me back from doing it !
Start early. We had a bunch of issues with our shuttle and only started at 11.30 am. Took 6 hours moving time, 8.5 total since we had a group member not feel well and split early into Breck. Give yourself time and make sure you are properly equipped
Definitely, this is a ride that from what I saw in your video will take all day . I guess my wife could shuttle me while she goes shopping in Breck lol
Looks fantastic! Wish the global lockdown will finally be gone and we'll all be able to travel to such beautiful places and have fun there too) Thank you for the content. BTW could you please share 1) what is the GoPro version you are using (interesting to know whether it's a built-in stabilisation works so fine or it is the postproduction that makes the video so smooth) and 2) did you find this (and may be others) trail somewhere in the web or planned it all by yourself?
Couldn't agree more! Hope these new initiatives curb the issue and we get some more freedom to move around. Happy you enjoyed it. 1) Hero 7 on a chesty for the climbing sections. This is "just ok", doesn't work well enough for rougher riding. Hero 8 on the chinbar of my helmet for descending, the stabilization of the built in hero 8, plus attaching it to your head (which acts as a natural gimbal) is enough to get good video. I sometimes add stabilization in post, but did not in this video. 2) Lots of research on Trailforks + a little support from MTB project and then just web searches and youtube.
No good answer to this unfortunately. Your best option is to do a two car shuttle with a buddy. We used "Jakes mountain shuttle", it got the job done but wasn't very organized imo, I'd give him a call if you can't find anything else.
This a pretty big day on the bike. Beginner and out of shape are really relative words, so its hard to say definitely, but I'd caution you to start with some other rides around the area before tackling this. You can ride a portion of this if you access from Keystone for example.
@@BlindstuffMTB yeah I did a 17mile trip last year, alot of climbing, alot of edge stuff "Cliff Hanger" was one of the trail names. But im at sea level and the elevation would probably kill me 😅. Sounds challenging and I like challenging! I just don't like jumping !
My favorite things, riding thru an aspen grove out west and a laurel tunnel in pisgah.
No feeling quite like it. The forest is a special place!
Ridden this one several times as well! Epic ride!!!
Right on! I cant wait to go back for round two.
Damn. Colorado never disappoints. Epic ride all around and you have it all on video. Living the dream.
CO is just amazing! I love coming back to watch these a year or two later, great way to relive the memories.
Looks lovely there!
Wow awesome ride.
Was epic indeed
Nice video and storytelling man! Epic ride for sure.
Thanks a ton!
Awesome ride. Makes me want to get out of Fl

So beautiful! Thanks for this.
Happy you enjoyed Alex!
Another truly epic ride. Added it to the to do list. Thx
Find the time to ride the area someday, you will not regret it!
Absolutely epic guys! I know it's always better to be there in person but you did a really good job at capturing the beauty. Insane. Another great video! 🤘🏼
Thanks a ton! Really cool to hear that people that make good videos also enjoy these.
@@BlindstuffMTB 👊🏼
Such an epic ride! Dan demasiadas ganas de ir para allá!!!! Excelente video bro.
Gracias bro! De pana es un lugar increible.
Wow very nice trip and nature and of course Video :)
Thanks! Happy you enjoyed the video.
nice one mate! looks pretty serious. no mountain lions...
Thanks 👍 I'm pretty sure there's some mountain lions out there. You know what they say, they see you and you don't see them lol. But seriously, I don't consider them a concern at all, its such a rare occurrence to see one.
Truly epic!!
Algun dia nos lanzamos un trip en algun lugar asi.
Another epic ride, added it to my to do list!

Much appreciated! I always really enjoy the map portion too, it kinda sets the stage to let you know where you are in space.
I've did most of that ride, one of mine best trails CO , you captured and narrated it perfectly , thank you for another excellent episode, Happy New Year guys, cheers V!
Glad you enjoyed it, absolutely a great trail. Happy new years, Verdon!

@@BlindstuffMTB great stuff, thank-you. I watched and liked the other video.
Sounds like they used your breathing sounds for the Blair Witch Project. :P
lmao. I blame the elevation for huffing and puffing
Did you like the PNW trip or the CO trip better?
Yes.
Different yet equally good.
Great video . I just ( told my wife ) not asked that I plan to do this this June/July lol . Since I only live about 2.5 hours from here .

Hey man, which shuttle service did you use?
Yes please answer this
What shuttle did you use? Want to do this but not sure how to get to the start😂
No good answer to this unfortunately. Your best option is to do a two car shuttle with a buddy. We used "Jakes mountain shuttle", it got the job done but wasn't very organized imo, I'd give him a call if you can't find anything else.
Can an out of shape, beginner ride this on a capra!? Aka me! Lol
