Considering you are fighting with every dudebro with a GoPro on the mountain, this channel has instantly become my favorite for prepping for trails. No music, jump cuts, or side notes. Just start to finish high quality footage and informative commentary throughout. Keep up the great work!
Brady, Thanks! Sorry for the slow response. Let me know there is a trail you want me to review.
I rode past SST the other day. I'm still new to the mountain and the sport in general but anxious to ride more of Galbraith. Your videos are very helpful to me.
Nice! That made my day. What is your favorite trail so far?
@@thecasualmountainbiker I've had a real blast on Cedar Dust. Haven't explored much towards the tower side though. Hoping to ride up and explore tomorrow if my wife allows me. Lol
@@thecasualmountainbiker I think today might be the day I finally hit. Just finished planning my route on TRAILFORKS!
@@TheXander9114 well heck yeah! Have at it!
@@thecasualmountainbiker I had at it a little too hard. Lol. Made almost all the way to backdoor but slammed into a tree and fractured my jaw. My season ender. Lol.
nice guide.. everytime i ride sst i kinda want to roll on that rock..hesitate everytime. i feel like im gonna ride over the berm.
Thanks! As for the roll; you won't gain as much speed as you think so the turn is actually more mild than you imagine. I thought the same thing before riding it. Same is true for Radical Dragon and the drop at the top of Scorpion. They are all slower (and safer) than they look.
This looks like a very fun trail. Unfortunately I probably will never get there because I don’t live near there
Maybe some day you will take an epic MTB tour.
Quill Black's MTB POV hopefully
These are great trails
I feel lucky to have good trails so close. How are the trails near you?
Quill Black's MTB POV the nearest purpose built mtb trail in an hour north from where I live so not too close but it’s barable
@@charliemtbaustralia5308 Rough! Well maybe the riders in your community can form a MTB advocacy group and build some trails. Either way enjoy your rides!
Sick vid, you should make a GoPro setup video. Do you use a gimbal?
Thanks! I have a Gopro 8 mounted to the chin bar on my full face helmet. No gimbal but your head naturally works like a gimbal. I am running hypersmooth 2.0 on superview as well.
@@thecasualmountainbiker Nice, my full face has mesh that I can’t stick zip ties through so I gotta work with the chesty
Awesome video! I can't wait to go try these trails. I just moved to Maple Falls, do you know of a good list of trails?
Thanks! Maple Falls has trails but everyone is very hush-hush about them. I think most are unsanctioned. If you find a local rider up there you will be set. However, in my opinion, the best trails are down in the Bellingham area. Galbraith, the Chuckanut mountains, and North side of Whatcom Lake (Chanterelle trail area) are great trail systems that have easy access. There are other more raw trail systems all around Whatcom county too if you can find them. My trail preview videos are a good list of trails that you should definitely ride. The trails are popular for good reasons. Welcome to the area!
@@thecasualmountainbiker Awesome! I used to DH and I was a cat 3 road. Did the first Transition DJ/Park comp in like 06 in Renton. Been to Whistler 100+ times but usually passed through Bham. I helped build A line and B like out at exit 27 on I90 like 20 years ago. Service manager for years at shop in Redmond, #1 Norco US dealer, shimano tech center, we sponsored the first woman enduru races around the sound about 10 years ago. I was always out being a sideline tech. All until I got wrecked by a car biking to work 7 years ago. So I'm just trying to get back into riding again after a ton of surgery, and am coming in totally fresh. I have been wanting to get out and ride again, but it was your video that made it certain, next month I'm getting something, just not sure what because everything is out of stock. Thanks for sharing man. Maybe I'll see you out on the trails! Cheers
@@abcd-jl2tl Dude, you sound legit! Sorry to hear about your accident. It obviously took quite a bit from you. Here's to getting some of it back. When you get your bike and you are feeling good to go hit me up. We have a great riding crew with a very wide range of skills so if you want to hit green, black, or blue lines we are pretty much game.
@@thecasualmountainbiker I'd love to! I can wrench on all kind of bikes to, I have all the tools. I'm a disability so I have a lot of free time. If you ever need any help let me know I got you.
Happy trails
@@thecasualmountainbiker I've been toying around with the idea of just working on bikes out of my house for free, just to get to know the 360 community. Possibly even like work on a barter system to get myself a piece-to-gether. I have bearing pullers for frame/wheel rebuilds, I can do hydraulics, suspension, electric junk, and anything that uses a braided cable.
It was 2014 so when I got hit. I was servicing 11 speed. 12 isn't much different. If you or any friends need any help I'd be more then happy. I can install new parts, or help anyone figure out what would be compatible on their bikes if they have upgrade questions. Or just do some really good 1 on 1 bike work. I could even like help teach people.
I dunno, I just want to get back out riding haha. Moved here when corona started so I haven't really met anyone.
Not trying to spam you or silicate anything. Have a good one!
Hi quill my dad rode this trail today I think
It's a great trail! Did ride the rock roll?
You lose speed if you drop the rock as opposed to roll it. That's the only way I've been able to clean that step up
If that works better for you feel free. I drop SST at the end of my latest video and do finally clear that step-up. I will admit I had to send it quite a bit further than I had done in the past. Thanks and good riding to you.
It’s funny cause I live like 2 mins away from hit lol
Well you are lucky. Live 20 minutes North of Galbraith.
