If people want hard core runs wirh huge drops, theres plenty of footage out there, but those are in the deepest, darkest woods and never as "pretty" as the green runs like this. Thanks for bringing something a little more relaxed and beautiful.
My man shreds 365 days out of the year now you love to see it. I'm a huge fan of that unicorn mount shot love seeing the scale and speed of these trails from that angle 🔥
Hell yeah man this is awesome! I also Ski and recently started riding MTB more and trying to get better. I live in AZ so dont get to ski as much as id like but theres a ton of Mountain Biking around here. Love the video!
Wash your bike after every ride with soap scrub then rinse hang by the saddle with the dropper up. You dont have to wash every ride if its dusty but it will prolong the bike longevity.
Looking good Lucas on the bike. For being a beginner you are killing it. I have been riding for many years both cross country and downhill. Mtbing is so much fun and the more you get into it the better it is. There's some nuances to biking that you onlly get after riding for a while. Example, the leaning the bike over in corners so you get contact with the side knobs and the dirt which means you can lean it more and go faster through the turns. Lastly, the bike wash is up to you. if the bike isnt too dirty then dont use it. But if its covered in dust and especially if the mountain is muddy, then its a good time to use it. Just make sure after you use the bike wash to wipe the chain down and relube it.
hey man thanks so much for taking the time to share some killer info. i had no idea it was so much fun and im stoked to learn more and progress into the sport. i feel like it could be a good complement for the channel.
Absolutely loving the bike content! I’m gonna have to fly out to deer valley at somepoint! The trails looks amazing! Also love the camera angles! Some really really cool unique ones I haven’t seen😬👍
Not required to wash your bike after every ride....especially based on how dry and pristine those Deer Valley trails look. However, I would suggest cleaning your chain, using just a rag or chain cleaning system and then lube your chain after/before every ride. The drivetrain/shifting will stay in tune longer. I follow you because my primary Ski location has been Utah for 15 yrs. Between you and Evan Thayer, I get everything I need to know about Utah Skiing. It is great to see you getting into what many skiers use as Summer training for Ski season! I agree that you should contact Porter MTB. He and his sons shred. Also, he seems like the kind of guy that would welcome a local Colab. Riding with them would up your learning curve immensely. Would love to see you hit some of the other Utah resorts that do lift accessible MTBing. I really enjoy your channel.
hey man. thanks for taking the time to drop by and leave a comment. the mountains are incredible and im glad we are building a community of folks who all enjoy spending time in them. i would love to link up will people who are more experienced. there is so much to learn it is overwhelming at the moment. thanks for the support and maybe ill see ya out there one day!
I think Deer valley is way better than PC when it comes to the bike park. Glad you got to experience it! I also think you’d have a lot more fun on a heftier downhill bike. It’s the same as having the right skis on a pow day. Thanks Lucas!
@@LucasCatania17 there’s a bunch of things! (I’m still newish to mtb but it’s similar to skiing in that there are a lot of nuances that affect your ride). Mainly the travel, anything over 150 is downhill focused, also the “slack” on your bike with is the angle of your fork from your front tire. More upright is for cross country stuff, and more angled is better for downhill. Also thicker tires ~2.6” feel much better on the downhill! Appreciate you Lucas!
The bike wash is designed for two things. Yes, to clean your bike, but mainly it's designed so that you don't bring 'dirt' to another region where it shouldn't be. Since you live in Park City, it's all the same, but if you took your bike from Deer Valley dirty and rode in the Pacific Northwest, that dirt from your tires and the like would essentially be bring in dirt not for the eco system. New Zealand requires you to bring in super clean shoes or have brand new ones on as it does not want dirt from other parts of the world entering its eco system.
Love deer valley almost more for biking than skiing. Videos are awesome as always buddy. Love that you are hopping on the bike. Hopefully you went to the concert there the next day. Old crow medicine show (band) was a great time, and the resort was gorgeous with all the greenery.
@@LucasCatania17your ikon gets you a discount on the deer valley season bike pass… hope I see you up there for sure. Be riding Sunday and then going to the concert sunday night
I like the trails at Park City and Deer Valley, they're very green. At Mammoth we have more volcanic pumice, sandy textured dirt and lose front wheel traction easier... for falls.
i am just waiting for your competitive part to kick in.. where you get the bike that you want.. it looks like it is starting to kick in.. the Swifties have taken over Denver.. Taylors merch went on sale yesterday and she is playing tonight and tomorrow and all I want to do is to get away.. ha ha.. nothing against them but i like what your doing and where you are more..
You can get hitch extensions if you really want a bike rack off the back. Just make sure it doesn't twist to much. Or look into a cheap trunk mounted rack and strap it to your boxes.
Was just out in Utah at Deer Valley riding! Bummed we didn't cross paths! I'm digging the mtb content! Don't sell yourself short you can become a great rider even if you pick up the sport later in life. Check out Ben Cathros how to ride series for some tips on proper technique.
Are you worried about injuries (not to jinx anything)? Always wanted to try this, but in skiing if you fall, 99% you will be fine. Here if you fall, 50% there will be blood and 25% you are going to the hospital or worse. Also those aspens look cool, but the rate of speed looks insane and the level of control feels way lower vs. if you are skiing through there.
yea of course its a concern, but its all relative. and its kinda just part of what ive created at this point. gotta do something to pay the bills in the summer.
Lucas brother….your Ikon pass gets you 50% off each day at Deer Valley in the summer. No need for a season pass unless you’re gonna go more than 7 or 8 times
i might get a season pass..
Get after it brother!
sick dude i was out there today and tuesday it’s a great park
You won't (do it)
For an Unboxing/Review channel, there sure is a ton of action.
Yup……. The addiction is setting in, you’re screwed 😂

maybe in a few years we will be at a more gnarly level, but for now - this is what it is haha
I love every second of this after telling us all these years it wouldn't happen lol AWESOME!!! the universe hates the word never.
having too much fun man!
These rides look relaxing and therapeutic af man! Footage and cams are legit. Awesome Video LC!
yoo thanks so much brother. fun time out there but ready to ball!
Aspens never get old...oh my! Another great day and video on the mountain!
thanks scott! the mountains are awesome!
My man shreds 365 days out of the year now you love to see it. I'm a huge fan of that unicorn mount shot love seeing the scale and speed of these trails from that angle 🔥

Thanks Dan! What makes something more of a downhill bike? Is it the suspension travel?

totally makes sense! good to know. i used it today hah so thanks man.
Was just there last weekend! Tidal Wave is definitely my favorite of the trails. Also pretty sure you can get half off bike lift ticket with Ikon pass
i tried tidal wave yesterday haha super fun
Awesome Lucas...I had already been watching similar videos because you got me so hooked on Go Pro. Cool to see the expanding content. Thank you!
thanks ray! appreciate you watching man
transitions looking crispy
thanks bro!
Love deer valley almost more for biking than skiing. Videos are awesome as always buddy. Love that you are hopping on the bike. Hopefully you went to the concert there the next day. Old crow medicine show (band) was a great time, and the resort was gorgeous with all the greenery.
thanks mark! nice to see you again my friend. hopefully see you out there.

I don’t know much about mtn biking but it looked like you we’re killing it! Great video man.
thanks man. similar to skiing in a lot of ways.
Really beautiful scenery
For sure!!
Great video Lucas! You're mobbing the trails! Also, I think you dialed in the video settings much better this episode 🤙
thanks jacob! still learning on all fronts but i agree that the camera stuff seems better!
Gatorade blue skies!!!
yes dude exactly!
You got us all on the edge of our seats for sure
Glad you liked it jack!
to extend your tow hitch Curt makes hitch extensions up to 2ft. which should clear your boxes so you can add a bike rack.
awesome! thats probably my best option.
Great video as always! I just sold my mountain bike, this video makes me want another lol.
damnn dude probably sold it for good reason though
@@LucasCatania17 Trying to get a 4runner, I think it will be worth in the long run!
gnar
yeeee
Bro told us he wasn't gonna mtb, then gets hooked
😂😂 can you blame me ?
You should go give Switzer Mountain a try in Northern Idaho. Loads of fun to be had there! 🤙
i would love to!
I like the trails at Park City and Deer Valley, they're very green. At Mammoth we have more volcanic pumice, sandy textured dirt and lose front wheel traction easier... for falls.
i think its unusually green because of all the snow. by this time it normally turns brown haha
Look into the Yakima Ridgeback Tilt-Away Hitch Rack with extension
I’m about to leave work and hit Trestle! Ski all winter, fish all spring, bike and fish all summer and fall, rinse and repeat.
Sounds like a mega life of adventure my friend!
Soo Enjoying it Beautiful
sure is!
Cray cray
Fun!
i am just waiting for your competitive part to kick in.. where you get the bike that you want.. it looks like it is starting to kick in..

head west to the mountains! im sure breck is beautiful rn

thats what others have said. i feel like that would be the best option.
Ur making me want to get in to it 😂
give it a shot homie!
i like your mtb video as well
Glad you like them dude
Have you tried a rear angle, like angle your helmet mount behind your head or attached behind your set post? That chest mount with the ND filter was 👌
i want to try that man! see if i can replicate that video game angle
Finally.
we made it
What is a good bike for someone looking at getting into mountain biking?
yewwww
yewww

Trying to get an SLC overnight and go there for the day. Do they rent bikes, pads, and helmets at the base?
yup! you can get everything you need for the day right at the base!
Deer valley is so sick to ride especially Aspen slalom
thats a sick trail
Lucas brother….your Ikon pass gets you 50% off each day at Deer Valley in the summer. No need for a season pass unless you’re gonna go more than 7 or 8 times
thank you bro. do i need next year ikon pass or mine from last season? i havent renewed mine yet haha
@@LucasCatania17 unfortunately it’s next year’s pass, but you gotta renew anyway so I can spend all my post ski nights watching your videos🤣🤣
Stoke squad Summer meet up at DV???
Ha! Super down!
you should try out angel fire bike park
wheres that at?
😅😅😅
🙌🏽
Yes you can hose the dust off the bike. Try not to use a ton of pressure on the pivot bearings, hubs, bottom bracket head set. Have fun
got it! thank you!!
