    Rode this after being inspired by this video. This is one of those rides that feels truly epic. Had no idea we had stuff like it in Northern California. I'll be back!

    I've only been on this trail once about 3 years ago and I really enjoyed it!
    Thanks for including the climbs on this video. It made me miss this trail A LOT! I want to check this trail out this weekend since the weather is slightly cooler.

  • @vtm914

    Yes!! An absolute favorite trail for sure.
    The volcanic rock and pines and smells- this trail ranks in my top 10 favorites in the Bay.
    I hit one of the single track splits toward the bottom and ended up in that vineyard on the left. 😁🚵🏼‍♀️💨

    Rode OHM for the first time today after heavy NorCal storms all week. First of the all, that is one fun ride - thanks for the video inspiration - but it really holds up to the rain as well as any place in the areas.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому +2

      Yes! That really is the best part about it being so rocky. I've gotta get back out there.

    As soon as the weather calms down, and I can go do a few Mix Canyons to get back in shape, I want to go ride this. Found it on MTBProject and you recommended it here, so it has to be fun.

    Oh and if your looking into getting a new bike any time soon I would suggest the Norco Range or Sight! its a Canadian company which means its built to handle some pretty gnarly terrain yet still has amazing climbing capabilities.

    • @bkxc

    Starting from about 10:35 would be a great FeiyuTech advertisement; their Gimbal was working great here. I am curious about your audio: is the voice-over recorded in the GoPro, or do you record it as a separate track back "in the studio". Congrats on 1k subs!

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      Thanks! I just talk while I'm riding, the naked GoPro in the gimbal picks up everything unless it's really windy.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому

      I just looked at the Strava and it says 8% grade. Even though the trail is kinda wild it's graded like a road, so it has a very smooth elevation profile. It's worth it, you just take breaks along the way!

      I usually like to ride from my home in the Hula Valley up to the Golan Heights in the East or Naftali Mountains in the West.. loves the dishon vadi a lot like this track. Ride along the Jordan River. Rides in a minimum of two to four hours and more than an average of 50 kilometers. Especially loves Enduro.

    It’s a great trail but it gets a bit sketchy close to dark. Last night I was on my way down. I was two miles from the trail head when I passed four guys Cheech and Chonging it going up with no flashlights or packs. I had just passed three interesting characters talking up high on a rock. Not sure what these individuals are doing up there after dark 2-3 miles from the trail head. Hoping they don’t start a campfire as it’s dry up there as my exgirlfriends cooch...

    Good trail for beginners?! Are you crazy!? That trail is a perfect to instantly turn beginners off of mountain biking, or even worse get someone hurt. Just because it's out-and-back doesn't make it a beginner trail. Nice video otherwise.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому +1

      Haha, I disagree. I went up when I was a beginner and you just walk what you can't do.

    • @bkxc
      @bkxc  8 років тому +2

      But you're right, it's certainly not for someone who is a "day one" beginner, but more trying to stretch themselves from beginner to intermediate.
