    For what is terrain wise, (only 350 vertical) the trail is on point. Looks awesome!

    Jeff, You did great for a while and rode so humble, but then when the opportunity knocked, almost out of natural survival instinct, you take over at the 1st opportunity (you called luck) when one of your trail bosses, Tim dabbed! At 4:52 you immediately take over driving the bus like a natural! Hats off to Nick "Dick Knobs" Hobbs for the trail build and tour! Great beginning tech rock lines!

    Stoked on this! I used to lead wilderness trip in the UP back in the 90s and I hope to get back there and ride these trails.

      Jonathan Spoelstra it was fun! Stay tuned for a full Trail Boss video soon

    So stoked for this and possibly more Marquette vids! Such an underrated location, insane riding, super cool people, and the area is just gorgeous, so untouched and pristine. The UP is truly the last untouched location in the lower 48, I love Marquette and the Keweenaw! Thanks Jeff, hope you were able to enjoy some brews from Blackrocks, and a Pasty from Jean Kay’s.

      Pedals and Plants wait till my Trail Boss video on Bare Back. It was a challenge.

      I used to spend a lot of time there as a kid, and it is truly beautiful and unspoiled. To say though that it is the "last untouched location in the lower 48" is total BS. There is enough wilderness in the lower 48 to swallow the entire state of MI. You should visit parts of CA, OR, WA, and ID if you want to see true wilderness in the lower 48. Not a knock on the UP, which as I said is a real gem - just trying to keep the facts straight.

      +Thomas Thrower - The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is the most remote and untouched location in the lower 48, it’s fact! I have traveled all across the states, the UP, specifically the Keweenaw peninsula is the most remote. The Keweenaw, Copper Harbor specifically, is the furthest town from ANY Interstate highway in the lower 48. Just wanted to keep the facts straight, Thomas I know you thought other places were more remote but, factually, they are not. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is the most isolated, remote, and pristine location in the contiguous portion of America.

      First off, you didn't say "remote" or "isolated", you said last untouched. If you're definition of isolated is "furthest from an interstate" and that is how you want to win an argument, so be it. Sounds to me though like you're just very narrow focused and stuck on the UP vs. believing instead that there are countless pristine and isolated areas all across the lower 48 that are each unique and could each arguably be considered the most pristine. Get over yourself and your beloved UP dude.

    Is that trail part of the Margi Gesick 100 course? Looks great, I need to head a little north and check it out.

    Awesome Video. Riding the same bike but stock. Want to upgrade my suspension. What do you suggest for stuff like you are riding in this video?

    • @JeffLenoskyTrailBoss
      @JeffLenoskyTrailBoss  6 років тому

      I have a DVO Diamond fork and Topaz rear shock and I'm LOVING it. I'd definitley reccomend it.

    • @cfstrobl
      @cfstrobl 6 років тому

      Jeff Lenosky thanks. Got a great deal on a 2019 lyrik rct3 and have been looking at the topaz for the rear since it’s one of the few that comes in the right size. Thanks for the advice. BTW when are you gonna make your way back to northwest Arkansas?

      Andrew Doody he built it and he shredded it so I’d have to agree

    Hopefully you got some more footage there. One of my favorite places to ride...and I live in Colorado. Also hope you made it to Copper Harbor since you were in the neighborhood. Cool town too. When I'm having a shitty day at work I dream of getting fired and moving to Marquette! :P

  • @FrankWalsh

    Cool looking trail. What the heck happened to the video though? I almost got motion sickness watching...

  • @raziz16
    @raziz16 6 років тому +1

    From the video, I could tell that it’s one scary steep descent and a very technical climb. It’s entertaining to watch you ride those trails. Good job to the guys that build the trail! Keep up the good work 👍🏽

  • @androostuart
    @androostuart 6 років тому

    I've been wanting to get up there for a couple years now. Looks awesome. Could a 160mm steel hardtail do ok up there? Or should I just rent a FS when I get there.

    • @ryangilbert1951
      @ryangilbert1951 6 років тому

      If you are slightly experienced you'll be fine. There is some freeride stuff that I'd recommend a full squish bike for.

    I took a trip to Marquette in July and loved every second of it. I rode both Bareback and Doc Nobbs one of the days I was there. Let me just say that this video DOES NOT at all do justice to how technical some of these lines are. I was alone and riding it blind and ending up walking several of the features haha! I'll tackle the whole thing someday. I'm stoked to see your video on Bareback because I think that is probably one of the best trails I've ever ridden. I'm glad you got to experience the magic of Marquette!

    I’m curious to know why you choose to ride 27.5 and not 29, being that you’re 6’4. Is 27.5 a better fit?

    • @JeffLenoskyTrailBoss
      @JeffLenoskyTrailBoss  6 років тому +1

      Good question, I think the 27.5 is super manueverable, however 29ers do roll awesome and I plan to be on one soon. I'll definitely keep both on hand though.

    Was it just me..or was that footage super blurry? Looked like a cool trail. Goes to show what two really determined people who love the sport can accomplish without earth moving equipment.

    • @manglerbmx
      @manglerbmx 6 років тому

      i think something is up with his gimbal, it had a repeating pulse to it kind of.

    • @willbros1499
      @willbros1499 6 років тому

      I think that's something the Rylo does from time to time in 180* mode, but I could easily be wrong. I don't think that was a GoPro/Gimbal combo.

  • @kparmley12z
    @kparmley12z 6 років тому

    Marquette is an amazing place to ride and visit. I was introduced to Harlow Lake or otherwise known as Harlow Walk. I can't wait to see Bareback. My skills were laughable on that trail.

      Maybe, I only saw it on the faster sections. Just too much to process at Trail Boss speed ;)
