It’s super cool to see all these trails in my home town I ride my dualsport dirt bike at the GR bike park and just bought a mtn bike so I’m super excited to hit all these trails! It would be cool to see you guys out there sometime! RIDE SAFE! thanks for the content it’s great!
Just bought my first mountain bike today. It should be in on August 2nd. Love watching your videos I started last year when you where at North park in Pittsburgh. Can’t wait to start hitting the trails.
@@nsmerilli1 Good choice. That was the same bike I was looking to get when I first started riding in 2017. Have fun on your mtb adventures. Stay safe. 😁👍
She rides super smooth, confident, doesn’t try to over power things. I knew your wife would easily ride the last obstacle but I was worried for you... but in the end you made it look easy. Nice job
@mtbGirlCory Crushes. Dang! So impressive. I'm with you though, that intermediate I beam at GRBP was extra scary. One day I'm hoping to be brave enough to hit that big drop :/. Great video.
Hey Isaac have you rode merrel trail? I know it’s directional, any idea which way is better? I’ll be going to Grand Rapids soon and will be checking out this trail now thanks to the duke.
@@arctic6014 Hey! Yes I have, it’s one of my favorites. I HIGHLY recommend you go on either a Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday-that direction is far superior in my opinion.
Are you silly? I'm still gonna send it! Great video on some local turf. You should swing up to the north side of GR and hit Wahlfield park. It has 3 flow/jump sections. You could also hit Merrill in Rockford. I know you guys love the features.
I pole vault for the school track team and I was told pretty specifically not to get hurt and I asked the coach if mtb counted as to risky and she says yes and we have the biggest meet of my life in friday but it’s also the last for the season so you know dang well i’m riding the saturday after
I'm sorry you took a spill, but your anxiety on cam is giving me hope. I have more bruises on my body currently from straight riding off a bridge on trail last week. Crashing is part of it, right!
I have never heard of this trail until watching this video, I’ve always thought Michigan was pretty void of Any good trails until I started watching your videos
Haha. Same here. Before I started making these vids, there really wasn't a lot of info out there. I would have never found some of these trails if it wasn't for the channel and some of the recommendations we get.
@@dukeofmtb and I’m very thankful you are sharing it with the public so they can come visit the trails here and experience the cool things we have here in Michigan
😂 That would be Cory convincing you to hit a drop, but with it ending successfully while Cory and I cheer. You'd still probably get a heart attack from all the excitement though. 🤣
Didn’t know about the changes at the park looks awesome. Glade to see the mtb trails growing in Michigan. The dump in Marshall is the closest to me it’s a fun tight trail
You should check out the new Stony Creek trails on our side of the state. Tons of new stuff these days. Michigan's mtb scene is definitely progressing.
Great looking park. Nice featuring it. Sorry about the wreck so long as you're not banged up too bad. The new stuff at Stoney is fun. Ive only been out once this year but I like the upgrades.
Your anxiety was palpable. Glad you fought through it. I'm no fan of skinnies myself. Happy to see you on my side of the state. Why not go to Merrell or Egypt Valley? I know you have already been to Cannonsburg.
@@dukeofmtb Excellent. Hope you liked it. My favorite trail in West Michigan is called Upper Macatawa. it's about 25 minutes southwest of GR. Keep up the great work.
yo i know im late to this but i late to this but i literally live like 10 minutes away from this great to see people taking advantage of the green trails try keno sha too its awseome
10:23 I wish you would stop condescendingly mansplaining to her "what 'we' are going to do today." She clearly loves you and puts up with it, but her having to correct you and remind you that she is the one with agency in the equation and that SHE will do it really reinforced the point. She's not a child, so stop treating her like one. Let her make her own decisions and do her own jumps. She already blew you away at 6:01 when you were trying to bully her into not doing it so just let her be. At 5:49 you say "that's a no." This is language that a parent uses with a child. And at 5:52 your "What!?" (as in "You're going to go against my authority in determining which jumps are okay and which aren't!? I am the boss of the forest!!") demonstrates how little respect you have for her. You're not her parent. You ride your lines and let her ride hers. But stop with the constant cringy AF mansplaining/"benevolent" paternalism and just let the girl ride! Start acting like her hype man and not the overconcerned dad of a toddler.
You're way off here. The "this is what we're gonna do" thing is for the audience, not her. There is no telling Cory what to do. It's always her decision. I'm not "bullying" her. I'm simply telling her it's not the best idea while also conveying to the audience how sketchy something is. Any "mansplaining" in the vid is almost always for the audience. It's hardly ever actually directed at her, even though it might seem like it. You're just reading too much into my choice of words. Authority? You clearly don't know us. The only reason we rode and recorded at Underground and GR Bike Park that day was because she wanted to. I didn't want to go that day but I'm smart enough to know not to argue with my wife. Again, you are seeing and reading into things that aren't there. You don't know us. You don't know our relationship dynamic. If you knew us, you'd know how far off you are. We didn't get to being together for 14 years by being assh*les to each other.
youre the one being disrespectful. I'm not a helpless baby that needs saving. 🤬 also, he doesn't talk like that in real life. It's just for the audience 🙄

Sweet! Curious, what'd you get?

@@dukeofmtb thanks I plan on it. Keep making great videos.
Crazy how much better Cory is at jumping these days.
She rides super smooth, confident, doesn’t try to over power things. I knew your wife would easily ride the last obstacle but I was worried for you... but in the end you made it look easy. Nice job
I was worried for me too. 😅
Having fun while conquering fear- that’s the true spirit of mtb 😎
That I beam skinny was crazy!
Yup. Glad I took the time to practice a little before hitting it. It would suck to fall off. 😅
Another fun adventure. I need to go check it out.
Love it!!
YeahBoi!!! tapang talaga.. hoo hah! bravo.
@mtbGirlCory Crushes. Dang! So impressive. I'm with you though, that intermediate I beam at GRBP was extra scary. One day I'm hoping to be brave enough to hit that big drop :/. Great video.
please do not forget to wipe the camera sometimes while driving)
I remember recommending this place to you when I met you at Canonsburg! It’s awesome seeing you at my local spot. Hope our building was decent!
Yeah, we went right away. Just didn't record that first time. Worth the trip. 😁👍
@@dukeofmtb You should see the new features added a few weeks ago!!

@@isaac.schultz that's true! We just did the Saturday direction and IMHO, Sunday is the way to go, more flow and jumps😁

🤣 love that reference. We'll go check those out one day. They're on the list.

Yeah boi 🤘
Her jumps are really coming along. She’ll be bustin’ whips before the end of the season.
Total bad*ss as usual. 😄
I was thinking this too. Jumping like a boss!!! Go Corey go!
Great job guys! Those skinny drops make my palms sweat just thinking about them lol
Thanks! 😅
Good work Michigang
I’m going to have to make a trip up there. I’ve been riding the trails in southern Michigan and Indiana.
There's a lot to ride in and around the Grand Rapids area. 👍
Those are green trail features? What are they smoking? Lol
Lol. I think it was rated before the features were put in.
Galing ni Cory! Fearless talaga!
I'm sorry you took a spill, but your anxiety on cam is giving me hope. I have more bruises on my body currently from straight riding off a bridge on trail last week. Crashing is part of it, right!
Yup. I mean, look at Cory. She crashes every other week, but she's never let it slow her down. 😄
@@dukeofmtb she’s a true badass! But you both hit that drop at the end - awesome! Inspiring,
@@EarlyDawnTravels That she is. Thank you! 😊

Dang the duke bringing it at the end!!! Nice!!!! Way to face the fear!
Thanks! 😅
The mind challenges are real, sometime more than the physical. Thanks for not being afraid to show your struggles.
Oh cory rips! Nice vid guys :)
Thanks! 😁
Some of these features are WILD!
Ive thought about meeting you on a trail someday.....but you would make me do something I would regret with a crash or heart attack!!!!
😂 That would be Cory convincing you to hit a drop, but with it ending successfully while Cory and I cheer. You'd still probably get a heart attack from all the excitement though. 🤣
Wow awesome video , the young lady is absolutely amazing she is fearless totally amazing .
Thanks! That she is. 😁👍
so awesome to see you guys conquering your fears together

Great to see you visiting the best side of the state again.
haha. You guys are way ahead of us when it comes to features, so it's always fun to visit.
@@dukeofmtb Check out the Dragon when you get a chance, it's not complete but what's done is pretty cool.
@@TheRocketSmith will do
You two totally killed it! That Beam drop was superr sick. Nice job nailing it, smooth as f!
Thanks! 😅
I think Cory must be some kind of skinny savant. I wish I had her nerve
Low center of mass maybe? Also, she's crashed so many times now that she doesn't fear it as much. 😅
We need a foam pit!! Lol
Although an airbag is more practical for our weather. I’ve looked into them actually lol
Waiting for you guys to do a Dragon review
One day. 😊
18:00 She indeed is! Nicely done. It's great to have a playground like that.
i was building at the underground that day
Same
You were the guys building that new big jump right? Haha. Small world. Glad you stumbled upon our vid. 😁
@@dukeofmtb yeah! We are going to fix it up sometime soon. The landing is too steep and lip is too mellow.
@@dukeofmtb i put in a wooden lip if you guys ever go back
LOL..."lookin' for trouble." I really thought she was gonna do that tree skinny.
oh, she'd do it. lol
Great looking park. Nice featuring it. Sorry about the wreck so long as you're not banged up too bad. The new stuff at Stoney is fun. Ive only been out once this year but I like the upgrades.
Love the new features at Stony.
Baller that you both banged that out. I like this video format alot better than with the look back camera. Keep on doing cool stuff and having fun!
Glad you like it. 😁
Your anxiety was palpable. Glad you fought through it. I'm no fan of skinnies myself. Happy to see you on my side of the state. Why not go to Merrell or Egypt Valley? I know you have already been to Cannonsburg.
We actually went to Merrell too. The footage is just waiting to be made into a vid. It'll be a while though.
@@dukeofmtb Excellent. Hope you liked it. My favorite trail in West Michigan is called Upper Macatawa. it's about 25 minutes southwest of GR. Keep up the great work.
Thanks! I added that to the list of trails to try one day. 😁
Friggin ehh!
Wow grand rapids looks awesome to ride in!!!🤘
Worth it even just for that beam drop.
2:50 that jump looks like a rack of ribs lol 😂
🤣😂
Lol. Someone's hungry.
@@dukeofmtb Haha always!
Wow! Grabe ka girl😊💚
yo i know im late to this but i late to this but i literally live like 10 minutes away from this great to see people taking advantage of the green trails try keno sha too its awseome
Thanks for the tip. 😁👍
@@dukeofmtb no problem
Man, that trail system has it all. I'm jealous. Are you two Filipino?
Yup😊
@@dukeofmtb I thought so. I'm half Filipino. Dad is German and my mom is Filipino. My mom is from Bataan.
@@mtbohana Really? I'm half Polish.
@@dukeofmtb That's cool dude. If you are ever in Dan Diego, hit me up.
@@mtbohana 😁👍
What bike are you riding in this.
Commencal Meta TR. 160mm travel up front, 140mm in the rear.
No elbow pads?
Do you mean towards the end when she hit the beam drop? Yeah. She had elbow pads, shoulder, chest, the whole shebang.
@@dukeofmtb I meant like at around 4:10
@@HointJits I guess she didn't feel like she needed it for that.
@@dukeofmtb Oh ok
