@@JMVC Tip have a double shot of coffee and a glass of water give it 15min and you only crap out what you ate the day before, before you ride. However MukDonalds shoots through you like mercury does through a duck's gut.
Thanks for mentioning the poop pickup. More folks need to know how to responsibly deal with their poop in the woods. That was a huge moment in outdoor youtube history!
@9:45 I lifted my bike over a tree like the one here and got sap on my rotor. Let me tell you that wasn't fun. Pro tip: if you lift your bike over a fallen tree do NOT get sap on your rotor, its not fun!
This was one of my favorite videos of your Shred Series. Not the craziest trails or riding, but a great solo exploration and discovery, faced some adversity and unknown with the trees and trail conditions, and then you persevered and got an amazing payoff. You even got to see some wildlife and take a dump in the woods. That’s what riding is all about - getting out there and exploring and having an adventure and fun.
Me being a noob to mountain biking it’s good to see someone strolling through the trail like you did in the beginning that’s how I would take all my trails instead of going fast!! 😀
I live in Steamboat & my bud lives in Jackson. Earlier in Sept., we both had snowstorms that turned out to be huge wind events. Both areas had hundreds of not thousands of healthy trees go down. The wind came in from the east which was unusual. Up to 100 mph winds . So, that's what your going through. And in Jackson Hole there aren't freak snow storms, it's just always crazy weather. Usually you don't have to worry about moose unless you have a dog.
Was in Jackson wyoming earlier this year. Most beautiful place I've ever seen. Rented bikes up there and road some of the trails too. I didn't want to come back home. Wish I stayed there.....
What an amazing way for you to quarantine. Out on the trail getting fresh air and vitamin D. I have been trying to do the same thing only closer to home. You will come out of this with such a better mental state. I've been on Teton Pass before and remember how remote you can feel up there. Kind of unnerving at times. The moose was super cool. Glad you have stayed healthy. Thanks for taking us with you on this epic journey. Always exciting when a new video pops up.
Hope you enjoyed my home state! Next time in Wyoming hopefully you can hit lithium and the other higher trails. Next time through the state you should also check out all the rad riding in southeast Wyoming. Curt Gowdy, happy Jack, snowy range mountains are all pretty dang cool riding spots!
Well, lets hope HJ stays fun, but they are busy "rebuilding" the more interesting trails. Aspen got turned into a very generic blue and Haunted Forest was completely redone and is a boring featureless green now, goat trail was officially closed.
@@mrvwbug4423 I heard that the reroutes are boring and meant to keep riders speed down...so unfortunate... the forest service really screwed the pooch there... Goat is officially closed??? No!! Not like it was ever technically open though lol
@@Tkolbo_ Goat was taken out of Trailforks when they changed HF, and it no longer connects to HF. I suppose it's still there if you can find the entrance, but no longer has an exit. Aspen is truly boring, but at least runs well in both directions now. HF is potentially fast, but all the corners are flat and there are no features, the fast, open section past the Aspen cutoff is untouched, but was never really a selling point of HF.
Funny, I just rode Black Canyon last weekend while on our Yellowstone trip. Same conditions as you had with snow and trees down but the trails were amazing!
This is just one guys opinion but these videos where you solo ride just hit different. They feel more raw in a good way. Even with a tree down every other minute. But all your videos are pretty good.
Yes, but, you would have to be there to hear the tree fall...(if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it make noise?) LOL, great views!
17:08 Leave no trace. I do the same... just use a stick, dig a hole, use a paper and cover the hole with dirt... or rocks... Like you have never been there... ;-)
I saw Brian riding up to the snow covered skinny and I had a flashback... Don't do it because I tried riding frozen woodwork once and had the hardest fall of my life. I went down from walking speed with no warning at all. Nothing better than getting up early when the air is cold and fresh. Nice ride.
My trip to Utah was canceled earlier this year due to COVID, but I bid get to ride in 4 different states this year. CT, MA, NH and VT. Did the New England riding tour lol. Love the videos man, keep up the awesome riding content 👍.
Nice dodge at 14:26. I probably wouldn't have seen that in time and impaled myself on it. Hope that gets cleared soon 'cause that tree was super dangerous.
Summer ended over a month ago. Colorado got snow on Sept 8. For those wanting to take trips to the mountain West states to ride I suggest July-Sept for best conditions.
Great video as usual! Thought you might have a diesel heater fitted in the van? You could split the pipes too and make a heated cupboard to dry your gear too.
14:27 That was scary!!! That could have been really bad. WOW! Oh and I did ride something new last week. I posted part I of video I shot on my site. Minto New Brunswick Canada has one wicked trail system.
my dream is a UK 48 county shred! lol, please don't sue me for copyright if i ever do it on my channel haha! first I need to learn how to ride then by a van!loving your content man!!!!!
It's also super helpful around the Tetons, the near total lack of broadleaf vegetation can lead to some unfortunate wiping scenarios when you're in a bind
After the 50 state tour I’d enjoy an episode about your camping. Could you spell you how you camp so close to the trails ? How do resource permits, passes and reservations ?
The tree critter was definitely an American Marten, they are common in the higher elevations in Wyoming. The downed trees are not normal, that early September storm brought down a lot of trees in the rocky mountains in general. We had big problems with downed trees in southern Wyoming as well after that storm. As for trail ratings, it depends on the area. I suspect a more touristy area like Teton Pass will be more honest. Southeast Wyoming is notoriously underrated on both Trailforks and MTB Project, plus a few that are comically overrated.
Welcome to WY... not unusual at all to see snow in early or late summer. Especially in the high country....then all bets are off at practically any time of the summer.
You have an incredible territory with incredible landscapes in your country and I really have a little envy (good envy) of the mountains there, but, this climate ... Jesus! Not at all! I have never been at a temperature of 2 ° C in my life but I am quite sure that I would not come out from under a blanket even if the world was ending outside. :)
Was just thinking about going to ride a new area of trails that I only hiked yet, in Bromont ;) I don't know if you rode that part of the mountain, its more like on the other side of the mountain compared to the ski station area. Very cool trails!
That tree at 14:25 though..... Gave me goosebumps
Yes, imagine seeing that just half a second too late... Yikes
I literally jumped
Holy crap!! 😳
Woo that was close
finally eats something besides McDonalds , makes egg mcMuffin
And then has to shit on the ride...hmmm🤣🤣
Something different....but kind of the same... lol
I laughed at that part myself

Jackson is the top of my list of favorite places to ride. That was also on top of Sun Valley which we had ridden in the previous couple of days!
Lived out in Gros Ventre for a summer near Jackson. Jimmy's Mom is the shit!
I remember a really old video where you picked up a nappy/diaper on the trail, I’m glad to see things haven’t changed
I wish I had your life man you’re living the dream!
Damn that was alot of downed trees...glad you didn't get impaled on the one tree pointing directly in line with the trail. Good job on the video.
So stoked for Idaho
Thank you for giving Crud Cloth a try. Perfect for after a muddy ride like this one when you don't have a shower. Go Get Dirty!

Always wise to start at the bottom of a trail and climb while you're super fresh and enjoy the fun going down.
Me being a noob to mountain biking it’s good to see someone strolling through the trail like you did in the beginning that’s how I would take all my trails instead of going fast!! 😀
That animal you saw was a northern Pine Martin, they are really cool

Ayeeee i see that berm peak hat i love the mtb community and that yall support each other
i really like your appreciation of the trails and clearing them!
Whoa! That tree at 19:30 could be a killer! Nice countryside, good riding.
Lived a whole year in that are of WY last year, I have never clicked a video this fast. Great ride, awesome views, stay safe!!
I rode this trail last summer and it was awesome! Glad the downhill worked out for the most part despite the down trees.
Trail maintenance episode of the 50 state shred. Nice job!
"The odds are good, but the goods are odd." Crack me up!
Even a day like that is still better than no day on the bike.
I've been waiting for Wyoming but what a bummer. Hope you go back soon.

Yeah, better for the environment than all the plastic for one use.
6 months to retirement and full time trail riding. Thanks for the 50 state review.
That is some really nice trail signage.
That forest looked like it was early spring, just before all the snow melts. Sweet colours.
Love the Tetons! My favorite place to be

4:58 thats a Pine Martin. reasonably common.
Greetings from Philippines! Ride safe Brian!

I haven’t seen snow in 2 and a half years at least, had the A/C going in March & November.
Van looks cool w the shade of dust
Oh what a beautiful place, is on my bucket list for sure. Wyoming makes me instantly think about The Last Of Us series. Amazing place!
Same with me. I’m pretty sure Jackson was the town in the game
Good on you for the trail cleanup! May good karma come you way, BKXC!
Loving the berm peak ranger district hat!!
Thats awesome you saw a martin. I've seen a number of them in Colorado where i live. Quite the predator too. Saw one carrying around a ptarmigan once.
You finally met your spirit animal, Brian

Great video. Enjoyed the enthusiasm!
Now that’s what I call mountain biking!
labor day there was a wind storm in southeast Idaho ... I am in Idaho falls and there were 90+ mph gust probably what caused all the trees being down
Wow my but puckered right up when you about got impaled. That was scary.

I live in Wyoming and I can say that we love are rocks and don’t have very many features on are trails
Glad you spotted that broken branch just in time. Way too dangerous to have that lying around in the trail.
Please come to Nagaland you will get the best of view and a memorable ride .
Nagaland is a tiny state from far isolated N-E India .

tough day mister,but you gotta make it through
14:26 WHOAH!!! HOLY F'IN DEADLY
I think Rambo set up a few traps on that trail!
Danger around every corner... Yikes almost got impaled!
The birds must be warming up on the warm pavement lol Natural selection at work lol Ride in Bk! Come back and check out Vermont this spring 🤙
Dude, bummer you were there when it snowed. I rode probably a week or two after and it was great. All snowed in now though!
