    Dude! Spider Mountain rocks! He he see what I did there?! Sting was unfortunately closed when I went there in 2021. It was my son’s and my first bike park and he still talks about it. They have done an amazing job with the elevation they have. Glad you guys got to experience it. 🤙😊

      Ha! I love good bike puns! I probably have that one in one of my thumbnails 😄 I bet it was a blast with your kiddo. It's gotta be so rewarding to watch your kids rip!

    Texas is an awful big place... Widen your imagination a little... Texans love hearing the small mindset of visitors to our great state. Yeehaw!

      I joke. We go to Texas now and then to visit family. I do love Big Bend and Guadeloupe!

      You’re Cali Garbo anyway mtb is soft and for pansy’s compared to enduro dirtbiking so it doesn’t matter if you choose Texas or touch butt land California you’re still a booty warrior because you ride pedal bikes!

      This place is worth a 2 hour drive for sure! There is some other stuff in the area as well, so he may as well camp out there and make a weekend of it!

      There's no better way to build your skill then just riding as much as you can! There is plenty of progression to be had at Spider Mountain.

    That wooden feature at 9:42 seems super sketchy to me at trail speed. Has potential to send you to flat / into the rocks if you're not careful.

    Texas is an awesome place. I'm sure California is nice too. Open your mind a little and go exploring. Start at Palo Duro and head out to Big Bend then go out to east Texas.

      We did get out to Big Bend and spent a bit of time there! It was amazing! And we were back in Dallas for the Eclipse this past April!

      Hey bud, thanks for the question. Are you asking which trails to ride at Spider Mountain? I'd start with the green runs, Itsy Bitsy is a great opportunity to work on riding skills, even for more experienced riders.
      If I didn't understand your question correctly, please let me know! Have fun out there!
