    I FINALLY made my way up the California coast to the Paradise Royale trail. I've heard about this place forever but it's pretty remote, so I never just went for it - until now.

    Worth the trip man. The fog and the forest are amazing. Sometimes the trail is the star, even if not the most techy trail. Getting to places like this is why I started riding mtb 30 years ago.

    I moved to LA from Georgia and this is the kind of riding I miss. Every now and then I find some wooded trails like this in the mountains but not often. There's amazing riding down here but after a while the openness of the rocky, sunny trails get old to me.

    • @coreymtb

      @@coreymtb if I want to hit a flow trail I have to pay to ride a bike park. Love the gnarly riding but Id rather just get out and ride something mostly mellow. I used to ride Blankets Creek or Pisgah pretty much every week. I had never broken any bones in my 34 years until I moved to LA. Lol.

    • @huntstyle

      I'm with you, I'm in Idaho and there's a lot of trails where there's nothing but sagebrush around. I tend to skip those, or just ride them early in the season since the snow melts off of them first. Once Sun Valley is clear of snow, I'm up there every day I have off until the snow flies again! Love to be in the woods.

    On Trailforks under type it says cross country, so it fits your channel! 😂😉 You're right, it's very subjective. I have some buddies that love techy trails, but I love fast & flowy, don't care much for slow tech. I also tend to prefer the trails that are one or two big triangles on the elevation profile! I get frustrated when I'm just getting into a nice flow, then the trail points up again. Gimme that nice long downhill where I only need a few pedal strokes the whole way!

    This is the type of riding I'd prefer to the murder rock courses. At my age I can't afford a new rectum, so the smoother trails would seemingly suit fickle glutes and 60+ joints. As for dream sightings - no lion, tiger or bears for me. For me a 10 foot tall, 1500 Squatch is what I live for. Shout out to Todd Standing the Squatch Master.
