I'm always suspicious of people who feel the need to "rate" things like trails, you have it exactly right. The sun is out, you're on a bike. Perfect.
It's useful if you're bringing another rider with you.
Bro keep it up. I am a fan of your channel because you don’t care what bike you’re on you always seem to just have so much fun as long as you’re riding. I stick to green and blue trails myself and it’s nice to see someone as skilled as you can just enjoy trails that the majority of people would typically ride - along with typical bikes. MTB UA-camrs can sometimes make me feel like I need a better bike or I need an upgrade but channels like yours just seem so much more grounded and it hits for me. Stock whips just out there having a good time. Cheers homie
Any video with the polygon is a good one.
Looks like fun! I’ve only been MTBing a handful of times, and just bought a bike last weekend, so I’m looking for some fun spots to get started! Green mountain seems like a good spot, thanks for sharing the video!
That trail is Box-o-Rox, best done from the top, the top of the fire road climb is the drop in for Box-o-Rox to downhill it. Rooney valley is also in that same area, it's flowy, not particularly fast but makes for a much more mellow climb than the fire road. Climbing Box-o-Rox and downhilling Rooney is something of a meme in the front range MTB community haha.
You should go back and ride Rooney Valley at Green Mountain. Fun, fast flow trail.
Second that!
This. Best trail on gm
Looks like a decent ride. Would love to see it in the Spring/Summer. Definately seems a little more XC type of riding, but anything on a bike is good by me. You are also upping your editing game. Throwing in some cut screen critiques. haha!
Looks like a future brush fire out there man. Crazy! 70s in almost December! Get the rides in while you can!
happy to report no wildfires this year
Matty I love your videos! I would love to hear you concluding the video and answering the question in the title “is GM underrated or not?” I’m curious to hear your thoughts. Not only in this video, in all of them. Great job! Looking forward to the next video
Awesome video! Green Mountain is one of my favorite trails for a casual after work ride, or to take beginners on. You should hit Rooney Trail next time. It's about 1,000 ft of downhill with perfectly-spaced switchbacks to maximize the amount of time you're pointed down the mountain.
Thanks for the review!
The Marlin 6 wasn't 1 I wanted to get rid of but it was a better bike for my buddy
Have you ridden around Bear Creek Rez? Lots of trails there, similar I think to Green Mountain (although I havent rode green mountain and now I want to) Good beginner stuff to take the Marlin 7 on!
I haven’t but I’ll definitely check it out! Green mountain is perfect for the Marlin
Too rocky for me Matty got rid of my Marlin 6 yesterday I got it a month or two before you got your first one the same color it was a great bike hated to see it go give it to a buddy I still have 5 good ones may get rid of 1 more and keep my 4 favorites
Have you tried fiddling with your front and rear suspensions? I did with my polygon and boy was it worth it. Changed how my bike feels riding it. Should be fun watching you tune your shox and react on how it feels during ride.
I haven’t but now I will try it!
The sag setup did it for me. Set my fork 25% and my rear 30%.
5:25 an impassible narrow followed by a drop. How is that a thing on a green trail? If that were me I'd just call the ambulance now.
That rock garden is a skills area type thing, with mutiple lines of varying difficulty, the smooth rocks he rode down is the easy line.
Do you ever ride up on rattle snakes sunning themselves on trails like this?
Yep! I actually almost got bit by one because I was too close to one. I thought it was the sound of my tire going flat, but it was actually a rattlesnake!
@@MattyActive wow! We're moving from Florida and that's the one thing that has me a little worried on the trails in Colorado. We have a trail here that commonly has pigmy rattle snakes on it but they don't have the reach of a diamond back. I'm not fearful of snakes. I have handled pythons, boas and indigo snakes at the zoo. I just want to avoid surprises that can lead to bites.
What other animals have you run into? When I used to ride on a golf course at night I would often surprise foxes and unintentionally wind up chasing them down the golf cart. The last time I was in Alaska they found a hiker eaten by a brown/grizzly bear. I believe there are some in Colorado too but I have only heard of black bears and cougars near Denver. We have those here too but our panthers are highly endangered.
On a different thought, we are looking at buying a house in Sterling Ranch near Roxborough and Chatsworth. It appears to be surrounded by trails for biking and hiking. What's your impression of the trails in that area?
