One of my long standing goals is to ride Horsethief Bench from the bottom to the top in an un cut unedited version. This trail was pretty gnarly to descend on my hard tail, it's even more difficult going up!! Follow along as I check out this legendary trail and try to see if I can CLIMB back up to it!!

That was so inspiring. Thanks for no just showing a shreddit, and what it really took. You'll get it soon. I'd love to see more content like this.
Definitely a masterpiece session.. Professor J. Lenosky 💪.
If you know this section, you know how hard it is to pull this off. This is the best video I've seen that shows how much work it takes for a skilled rider to clean it. Definitely watch the other video of him nailing the descent on this same hardtail; it will inspire you to try it, and it's doable (especially with suspension). But this climb is nearly impossible without MAD skills and showing the sessions figuring out the line and the moves is gold. This guy rules! Can't wait to see the full round-trip video!
So awesome, that’s a gnarly section! Always thought about trying to ride up it as well, looks about as hard as I thought it would be!
Yup, more like this please. There are tons of channels of guys flying down flowy trails, but your running (riding) commentary explaining the moves you hit (or missed) in this video is extremely useful for anyone struggling to move their skills to the next level.
thank you, NOTED!
More please. Can't believe you do that stuff clipped in. That's a climb to do just before sunrise, no sun, a little moisture on the ground, would make a huge difference.
Good tips!
I'm not sure it would be possible with flat pedals... would it? i think all that hopping with no pedal would require bike/body connection
@@kelp0223 Of course it is possible. Brumotti does that same type of stuff on a road bike with flats. Clips is a preference. Point was the penalty for failure is much greater with clips.
Thanks for showing us that you are human! Albeit a human with incredible bike skills.
Larry
I like the way you broke down the effort. It's good to see a pro make the same mistakes the rest of us do trying to clean technical sections.
Patrick Haskell Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks for sharing. I think I might have learned more from your commentary struggling with it then I would have learned if you cleaned it. Props for determination!
more videos like this please. way more interesting to see that 3rd person POV with your commentary
Daniel Ziller I’m on it!
Your skills are another level. Trailboss badge approved!
Milenko Simikic thank you!!!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing the struggles and commentary. Way more interesting than an edited highlight reel.
I love stuff like this that shows the reality, not the polished version, of mountain biking. Seeing the amount of skill, effort, & most of all perseverance needed to accomplish a climb like this is more inspirational than any shredit edit hands down!
Legend has it Jeff hopped clear to Moab for an added challenge. 😂 You are the best man🙏🏼
Scott Normand it felt like it.
I don’t know that I’d enjoy riding as much without your tech climb walkthrough videos like this one. I came to the sport with tons of bike control but no fitness so realizing I could outclimb the fitness guys when stuff got rough was very cool.
Brian Carle that’s awesome to hear.
I think it's an excellent video, nice to see that even very talented riders don't/can't always make stuff first time like in edits. Always tell people I like to be fit, because I love tech climbing and the biggest thing to that is fitness, as all the little moves just wear you out. Looking forward to seeing the un-edited, 1 time, no dabs clear video of this section.
Now this...this is something. Struggling towards a genuinely impressive goal is the stuff good stories are made of. Really excited for your follow-up video.
Thanks Jeff! You are a beast! It's cool to see behind the curtain and know that even pros don't clean everything on their first attempt.
my lungs,arms,legs,heart and brain hurt watching this..lol..you'll get it one day bro
Great video! The shredit was awesome but seeing and hearing you talk about how much it took to get there made it even more special.
toomuchhaggis thanks!
Awesome work, Jeff. I really did enjoy this format - breaking down what you need to do to clean the climb. And hey, it shows that you’re human after all! 😃
Such a great and honest breakdown of an incredibly technical undertaking. Makes me appreciate, even more, how difficult this kind of riding is. Love this type of video! Keep 'em coming.
hawkgx123 thanks!!
Like others have said- I loved seeing the real effort with commentary. 2:40 what a godly trackstand, what a great vid.
More videos like this please. That was a great effort and the commentary was awesome
Love it! Side note, that guy said, people want to see you fail? Not me! You give me bad ideas to try on the trails behind the house. I'm on my way out there now. Thanks for the inspiration.
I like the Shredit vs the Reality! Its a good thing we had you all tired out after this so we could keep up!
pfft, you guys did JUST fine!
I have been there and wondered if anyone could actually ride down it as you did and then ride up like you tried. Your anaerobic load must have been incredible. I am so impressed with your ability and effort. I really enjoyed the break down. Wonderful video!
Thnak you Gloria
Nice work Jeff. I felt how exhausting that was while watching the shredit. I remember, getting on close to 20 years ago, hopping my way through an exhausting section at some comp in PA and then watching JJ clean the whole thing in what seemed like three huge moves. I don't envy the interval work you'll have to do to get there, but I look forward to watching the vid where you clean this.
This is EXACTLY what i never knew I wanted to see!
Im with ya! Cant wait!
Brian Ruiz thanks for
Watching.
Jeff, I have so much to say to you after watching this video! 1. It was an awesome video and I enjoyed watching every bit of it. Great work!
2. I would love to see more videos like that. Perhaps many people are not as interested in all the details as I am, but as an engineer and 25 years mtb'er, I'm a very detailed-oriented person.
3. I think the way the video was produced was perfect because you did the initial part in the Shredit mode which would satisfy most people for the simple entertainment value, but those of us that understand trials and tribulations, understand that there's a lot more to meets the eye when getting a truthful look at the full effort & elapsed time of an event. I love watching your videos and your style because of your honesty and humbleness.
4. Sorry, I feel I'm too old to be inspired to get out and challenge myself in this manner with a conventional pedal bike :-) At 60, I'm now looking back at my younger years of mountain biking with great fascination trying to understand where the hell I got so much energy to do some very challenging things that no longer have appeal or reasonable expectation of performance.
5. As a Testament to my age and deteriorating performance, I got a Specialized Turbo Levo 2 months ago. I've been riding the hell out of it and enjoying every opportunity I have to get more technical in the sense of Trail profiles that I used to ride or at least have the heart rate to attack. This is not to say that I am no longer fit, but I'm just being honest and recognize the change with age. To put this in perspective, I totally understand what you're going through when you're trying to manage your energy on a sustained technical, trials, Trail challenge like Horsethief Bench.
6. Coincidentally, this past weekend a friend of mine invited me to hike a trail that I used to ride on my mountain bike years ago. When I was riding it 25 years ago, I didn't have the perspective of comparison that is available today by virtue of UA-cam and social media. So in hindsight I look back on this Trail (Iron Mountain, Poway, CA near San Diego) as a very challenging feat, but didn't know it at the time. I wasn't aware of the sport of trials riding at the time, but now that I'm a UA-camr, a follower of yours and so much more aware of the many trials riding stars out there, I see this Trail as a great opportunity for someone like yourself to ride. I would love to come see you do it along with some other trails in the immediate vicinity. The other trails(including Mount Woodson Trail from Lake Poway) are in the same small mountain range so they have similar rocks characteristics. Many people hike Iron Mountain and take the straight shot up to it, but there is a connecting trail, Ellie Lane with generous amounts of technical climbing involved. This Trail is not so heavily used nor heavily maintained as the Iron Mountain trail that it connects to. When I would ride it, I would make a clockwise Loop up Ellie Lane, then go up Iron Mountain as an out-and-back, and continue back down the most direct way to form a loop because I would be so spent on energy that I would not consider doing it as a pure out and back. Maybe you would like to do it as an out-and-back to make another video and challenge for yourself?
6. In 2017, as part of my nostalgic quest, I retraced most of the mtb route of my youth on my eMoto. What I call my eMoto is a 6000 watt electric motorcycle that his not too much different in size from a mountain bike. It actually uses DH mountain bike components including wheels tires, brakes handlebars and suspension (fork/shock). The following playlist documents my visit on my eMoto:
Iron Mountain Rockumentary Trail Ride (4 sequential parts): ua-cam.com/play/PLZEb8ngMuMU3uqmvbBwtfb0KSg2pbeyJH.html
In 2018 I tackled Mount Woodson and documented this ride in the following playlist:
my Mt. Woodson eMoto: ua-cam.com/play/PLZEb8ngMuMU30KypRka-LicCU_uc8a8lC.html
I put these playlist in here so you could preview the trails I'm referring to. Please let me know if you're ever interested in attempting these trails that are very close to my home.
thank you so much, that's awesome you got an ebike ands are still having fun. When I started the channel a big part about it was trying to inspire people. I feel like it might have in a round about way with you!
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss No doubt, yes I'm inspired by you and so often as I ride your name and the name Pat Smage comes to my mind, lips, and GoPro as I challenge myself on tech trail features.
Great video. Thanks for the lessons. Keep'em coming please!
Maybe your best video yet. I watched the "shreddit" version going, "DAMN! That looks freaking EXHAUSTING!" Really like seeing the process.
Jooooooooooooooooooooooood
Thanks dude!
You're not only the Trail Boss..you are the Trail Master!!!
Absolutely excellent! Seeing a skilled rider do something that doesn t quite look possible is always impressive and maybe even educational, but getting a totally honest look at what it takes and how the fail happens is many times more useful. On some of the sections I try to ride that are technical for me, the gear you start in is not rhe gear you need to be in later. It can be perplexing. Seeing you struggle and learn with this right gear problem and be totally honest about it is highly informative. More like this, please!
Thanks Dan, glad you liked it!
Great commitment to actually finish getting to the top even with dabs & rests especially in that heat, as mentioned already probably best just before or at sunrise & you have a better knowledge on how to attack/ride the route, it may take a couple of attempts similar to climbers on a rock climb working a route, I’m sure you can do it if anyone can 😅👍
The Big Boss!!!!! Simply the best.
Thank you!
Heroic effort, one of my favorite vids. Trail clips/tips are great but watching you session is inspirational. I had stopped asking for more trials videos as I didn't want to be a pest, but MORE TRIALS!!!
Even with the dabs your riding/trials skills are still top notch!!
Trail POV thanks!
Super happy with this video. Maybe one of my favorites. It's great to see the actual effort it takes to take on such an ambitious climb that only a few could even attempt.
I really enjoyed the breakdown of each section.
The fact you even attempted this speaks volumes for your skill level. I think I could barely walk up that climb!🤣
This just showed up in my feed ... AMAZING Jeff!! I wish I could ride this down never even thinking of up ... very cool video as well, thanks for sharing!
Thanks! Check my
Channel. There’s a vid of me
Actually riding it non stop!
By far the most impressive climb I've ever seen. Keep doing what you do Jeff
David Lemieux thanks dave. Let’s ride at NEMBA Fest again
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss absolutely! I'll be there. You should stop in MA on the way up and let me show ya some more Lynn Woods style trail networks.
Excellent video Jeff. I enjoyed this. It inspired me to bounce around on my bike.
What a beast!
Great to see what goes in to a shreddit like this. And that even superhuman riders need to break things down and work on sections.
Giving the people what they want!
I'm trying! lol
I'm still trying to make it down that section.....lol Nice work Jeff
In my personal opinion this a VERY good video, in many aspects.
Well done!
Man it must have been hard going ten minutes hard climb, especially while dragging them hooge balls either side of the bike and over all them rocks.....😂.
Wicked effort - wicked vid.
Nice job man.
RC Roo lol. Thanks!!
Your floor is clearly a lot higher that most people's ceilings. Gee! I did't see the Crashing Dad or RC attempting that climb. I must have missed those parts. Loved the vid. The Adventure Continues....
thanks jeff. this is so cool to hear your comments on what you were thinking and how you would have done some things differently. i loved it!!
I watched your video during my lunch break and ... you made me smile. You are great
Good stuff! Really liked how you broke down the attempt up, made it really interesting.
Amazing skills and in that heat during a punishing ride.. Wow man.
Great to see that you show its not being a Pro without mistakes. But you show it all without excuses and know what you needed to do after, to complete it.
That's The Pro J.L. we know. Just wish we could learn from the first or second try, Like you do.
Thanks Steve, yeah you cant always get it right!
Wow that is some serious skill! Great job man. Looking forward to watching the next episode of this climb.
The reality version with commentary made it feel like we were there with you!
Great video! It’s good to see that you’re always striving to improve. Gotta say you make it look easy even though I know it’s hard!!👍🏽
Excellent video. I love the format and I learned a lot from the way you broke it down.
Stuart L thank you!
i thought it was cool seeing this in person... that SHREDDIT/EDIT was awesome dude!
I remember your vid when you made it down for the first time.
Inspiring!
@@ruizbrian1051 - that was the best day ever! 🤘🏼😂🤘🏼
@@TheCrashingDad you KILLED it riding down!!
@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss 🙏 the pressure was ON, with a trials legend spectating 😂
Climbing Session --> Instant Favorite
Got to this video through my suggested videos, this is the first video I have seen from you, I have to say I really like this style of video, I like seeing people try hard things and fail a little but try again and to improve and break down their challenges. Hope to see you make it all the way up there, definitely feels within reach.
Thanks! Hopefully I have a new sub!
Great video and such an inspiring rider.
Amazing! That was an incredible effort. Nice job!
thanks!
Wow your are human! Thanks for showing us this!
Jonathan mtb thanks for watching.
So cool! I’ve been there, this section is incredibly intimidating.
Wow great video! I've been there and can't imagine cleaning the climb!
Dude. Sweet climb. Props.
Love the video and commentary! And stellar riding, you definitely have it in you! If I ever achieve even a quarter of this skill, I'll be stoked!
If anyone can do it, you can. Great video!
More fun to watch than an edited version.
Mr. Teff thanks!
Super awesome!
I’d LOVE to see more stuff like this!
you got it
Legit...motivating...and fun to watch.. Thanks !
Great job bud... amazing!
Dude your an animal!!🙌🙌🙌 Also enjoyed this type of video. Keep them coming!
M. and M I will. Thanks!
Thx Jeff, it was pretty cool seeing the process play out. Total bummer about the break in, but in keeping with the whole “when life gives you lemons” thing; I doubt you would have otherwise chosen to ride the hardtail here. In a weird way without those a-holes, this cool video might not have happened.
I know there have been some INSANE climbs with trials bikes (both 20" and 26"). Like climbing up buildings and similar stuff.
Gauntlet thrown down! Hope to see you at NEMBA fest again!
I'll be announcing my ride schedule real soon, hope you can get on!
That was freaking incredible!!🤘🤘
Awesome, you are a master!!!!
OMG you must join the Avengers immediately
Lol. Thanks!!
Great video! The commentary makes a huge difference. I might have missed it, but if you were attempting this on a full suspension, would you recommend locking out the rear suspension?
absolutely, the suspension MIGHT help you in some sections but overall it would be harder.
Oh you got me still incredible Jeff!!
That was freaking awesome Man 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Very amazing and incredible run up the cliff!
Your only human Jeff.......thanks👍💪👊
Amazing. Wish I could have been there to watch.
I liked the format. That was awesome.
James Stoup thanks James!
Love the concept of Shreddit VS Reality! And I thought the climbs I do are Techy!
You can do it! I'll hold the sun-umbrella for ya next time! Someone on the fan, one on mist-er, you got this!
Wow.......super human effort. Awesome video.
Awesome stuff mate!
Jeff deserve a million subscribers
Duane's Duro TV spread the word! :-)
Awesome effort man! You know what would work well is if you used a gearbox bike. It would be heavier, but you can just change gears without pedaling, so you could go into whatever gear you wanted while you were hopping or standing still. Borrow a Zerode. ;)
Wow, that was tough to negotiate edited or not I'm impressed. 👍
Thanks!
Amazing skills! Skills of a trail boss!
I loved this because it was real. I am just starting at age 60 and am not inclined to ride this type of terrain. However I admire those that do ride it.
Jersey Strong JL!
THanks Jeff
Brutal! Well done! 😃
