Very much appreciate this, the goal was document, ride, leave safely! Totally 80s retro tunes, one wasy way of giving the shout-out to a true classic rider, thanks for watching🙏
That's the great part of riding, memories and a better appreciation for places like this🤘, tough comparison then and now, machine built vs natural 🤔. I would love to ride the old stuff if it were legal. 🚳. I have fond memories of a huge exposed rock outcrop/horseshoe turn that was challenging, The bro and I sessioned that repeatedly, I've also heard it attracts heavy 👀 downpour thunderstorms 😆, thanks for watching and commenting🙏!!
That's awesome! Great comment and feedback! It's challenging with one mic picking up everything, EQ and a little mixing👍. Hysterical😆 wind noise from breathing! I've been guilty 🤔, thanks for the support and watching🙏!!
You got it man . Conquer that fear. I’ve seen your better than soap creek . Everyone has a bad day . I’ve crashed twice in the past two weeks on grinnins rock garden and I will not slow down threw there tomorrow .
Really appreciate that Jeremy! When I went night riding on van Michael, Kevorkian Pass sliding a little, it didn't even phase me, and I even accidentally had my fork locked out. But something about Sope Creek makes it oddly challenging. It's one of those trails that has so much traffic on it it gets worn away in spots or just gets moved a lot to avoid erosion. A few weeks ago I did Tin Can Alley at night, much harder but once again it didn't bother me, I guess it's the feeling of knowing I was going down, avoiding trees, and being surprised at what happened, and the arm was stiff but broke the next day, just weird, even on days like today the scar is sensitive with humid hot weather, but I'm beyond happy to be back out there, and as always appreciate the support and feedback you give, it's what keeps me motivated to ride more and continue to advance on the bike. Thank you Jeremy!! 🙏
@@jeremyohart4536 gotcha thanks! that's what I was thinking, I've got to get up there sometime and ride there I doubt I'd remember any of it from a long time ago!
I clipped that tree just passed where you crashed and almost ate it. I ride the trail weekly as I live right above it. Great ride, but keeps you on your toes!
Man I believe it! That tree is hard to see clockwise, coming up over those rollers, and trail turns. Glad you didn't crash! And definitely a great ride that keeps you on your toes! Great comment, thanks for sharing and thanks for watching🙏!!
Upper arm fracture yes it was staples, 76 or 72? Thanks for the comment! Appreciate the support and thanks for watching!!🙏 This ride was one of a kind and sentimental, thanks for letting me share it with you👍
I know getting this trail behind you has to feel good after your last ride there. I can’t remember the last time I road there. Might have been on one wheel.
You know, it's crazy how fun it is. It's so different, but it's rides like these that are milestones, one was was bad, this one, not my best riding per say, but the best ride, and video personally, to match. One wheel is awesome, post 2016, the trails are different, thanks for watching!!🙏
That's a great question👍 it depends on the level of riding you're capable of, overall the bottom section is gravel, that part definitely. As for the rest of the trail, it's doable, but may not be suited for it, also depends on the bike itself. You can always try it, for me, the actual mountain bike trails, I personally would not, I hope this helps!! Thanks for watching🙏!!
I"ve ridden my CX with 32s on all the trails there. I've seen other riders on dropbar bikes. The upper loop isn't too bad but the lower loop is a bit much for me. I've thought about riding my gravel bike with 40s to see how that is but haven't yet. The gravel (actually pulverized gravel) at the bottom can be easily ridden on a road bike. The mtb trails are a lot smoother than they were several years ago, except for where they have been armored to prevent erosion. That downhill used to have a lot more rock than it does now but I think the park service decided it was too dangerous with bikes bombing down it with hikers present as in some spots there was only one narrow line to take. I'd suggest you hike the trail to decide if you want to ride your gravel bike there.
@chazpattillo9116 excellent response for information about gravel bikes, you nailed every aspect of the current trail system compared to back in the day, excellent advice on hiking first, that's the best way to get an idea and perspective on the trails. Thanks for adding this comment!!🤘
Awesome job!
Thank you SO much! That means a lot, truly appreciate your support and feedback on this one! You guys are amazing 🙏
That's great that you got back on the trail and rode again! Never give up and you can achieve great things!
Hey thanks for that encouraging feedback!! Means a lot! So enjoyable to be back out on the trails!!
you made it safe out of trail 🎉, retro musical celebrate your journey 🎇

great ride!!!
Chet Hawk! Thanks for watching really appreciate it, your support is great and what a day this was 👍, see you on the trails!!
A lot cooler than when I first started riding there with you and your brother. Nice ride!

Good job keeping the wind noise down and your voice clear in this. If it were me there would be wind noise just from the sound of me gasping for air.

Also glad that you are ok from crashing twice! That's the right approach to get right back to it! Where is grinnins rock garden by the way? Thanks!

If those are staples in your shoulder that is insane! I take it the arm broke from the top? Glad to see you took this on, great video!

Do you think a gravel bike can take some of the easier trails out there?
